Thursday on your TV

While the author tries to make sense of this mess, the rest of you can tune into watch the seemingly unstoppable White Sox take on the Kansas City Royals. KC starter Zack Greinke is outstanding when toeing the rubber at home (3-0, 2.57 ERA) this season, but hasn't been good at all against the White Sox (2-7 career record) at all.

If you live on the North side and love forced references to local landmarks and totally unrealistic representations of Chicago Sun-Times sportswriters (all of these right up the author's alley), check out 'My Boys' on TBS. Tonight's episode: "Andy goes out of his way to prove he's not having an affair with a woman at work; Bobby's family gets in the way of his wedding; Kenny keeps on winning despite all the odds; everyone picks out references to themselves in Stephanie's book."

Jim Gaffigan plays Andy in this program and it's an absolute shame to see a brilliant comic handcuffed by run-of-the-mill jokes you can see coming a mile away. The man is from Indiana, is deathly pale and has an obsession with food. That's what we call a three-tool player in the industry.
