The White Sox hosed the Twins last night, which means Hondo heads into the postseason with 850 niedenfuers in the drawer. What’s that, you say it should be 800, not 850? Not so fast, all you math ma jors. It turns out that Mr. Aitch’s longtime account ant, the venerable CP Addemup, erred Sunday when he deducted for a loss with Cliff Lee and the Indians. However, upon further review, Lee didn’t pitch, so His Aitchness should have had a no-play. Hence, the discrepancy, and hence, the suspension of Addemup until further notice.
Today, Mr. Aitch will try for some addition by Divi sion with series plays on the Cubs, Brewers and An gels – 10 units apiece. Also, 10 on the Small Bears to end their little jinx and win it all. As for the openers, he’ll not only take a stab with the Brewers, but also urge HondoNation do some Dempster diving in Wrig ley – 10 units apiece.
Props to Cliff Lee and Brad Lidge, who yesterday were named Comeback Players of The Year. Mean while, in other award news, Carl “The American Idle” Pavano was voted Slacker Of The Year, his fourth straight unanimous selection. Congrats, Carl!
