As always, I'm not pleased when I have to throw a compliment the CHB's way, but this comment from his Game 1 recap gave me a smile:
"The visitors, who had won 10 straight and 21 of 22, were embarrassed. The Sox pounded 16 hits in the first five innings. Rockies reliever Franklin Morales recorded two outs and gave up seven runs. He was followed by Ryan Speier, who walked three consecutive batters with the bases loaded. Eddie Cicotte of the 1919 White Sox didn't do that badly and he was trying to lose."
