Whatever you want to say about the White Sox — that they’re mediocre, that they’re maddening, that they collect injuries like some people collect trading cards — the one thing you can’t say about them is that they’re quiet.
Now, that might not be what you’re looking for in a baseball team. You might prefer a team that lives up to its billing as a World Series contender and keeps itself to itself. You might prefer a team that enjoys victories and a glass of milk for a nightcap. You might prefer peace and quiet over toil and trouble.
