And this quote gave me immediate pause and somewhat anxiety as a lifelong White Sox fan.

Here's the quote from Colson.

We are all freaking looking forward to it.

We are all hyped up.

They are a really good team.

We know we are a really good team.

It's going to be fun.

Yeah, he said frickin'.

Because there was no dashes or other signage in there to block out the other word that you're not allowed to say, according to the FCC, over public airwaves.

But here's why that was concerning to me.

Because last I checked, their next game isn't against the Cubs.

They have a game today against the Royals, which if they win, they can say they've won five games in a row.

they can say they are 5-2 against the division.

They can also say they're above 500, which is the next logical step after you get to 500 this late into the season for the first time since 2022.

And I get it.

I thought it was good at 500.

Wait till they get over 500.

And that could be fleeting because they could lose today.

And then if they lose today, they're back below 500.

And 500 kind of gets cheapened a little bit because you fell right back below.
