DL? Ok Boomer.

Can it read 0.22?

between this and trubisky instead of watson/mahomes i feel like i’m being sports punished.

If any mayor of Illinois said some shit like that, he/she would rightfully be raked over the coals. And it's really hard to find daylight between him and Abbott when Abbott is going on Fox News yesterday blaming the new green deal and wind turbines, and Ted Cruz and Crenshaw and Cornyn pointing and laughing at California when it was on fire, and blaming the governor instead of the private company that is at fault.

Pretty damning quote. Just tells you the quality of free agent they try to engage.

I still am 100% against the hire, and haven't spent a dime on anything that would go back to the White Sox since it happened. I plan on continuing that until he is gone.

So are we at the point now where we are going to cherry pick everything someone we we don't like says in order to make them look like an awful person? Cause that's kind of where it feels like we're at right now.

Sounds like Our Chuck did a dumb dumb

The only hyperbole on this thread comes from your post, some stupid bullshit that adds nothing to the discussion.

so much bitching.

And this is why they should have been more active in the FA market last few weeks

Frankly...YES. You absolutely prepare for 10 in 100 year weather events. A 1 in 100 year weather event is all but guaranteed to happen during your lifetime. Having that turn into a disaster that kills dozens is a bad thing! And some areas of the country are flat out guaranteed to have them happen every few weeks! Plus, if this is a 1 in 100 year cold snap (it isn’t), are you unprepared for 1 in 100 year floods? What about 1 in 100 year heat waves? 1 in 100 year wind events? 1 in 100 year flash floods? This is why you require resiliency to be built into systems you rely on, because they start failing every decade or so if you don’t; and in different ways each time. We scrapped all the plans for a 1 in 100 year pandemic after the Trump team took over. The end results were bad! Maybe you don’t spend the money building out to 1 in 1000 or 1 in 10000 year events, but you at least consider what they will do. Will a 1 in 1000 year cold snap leave a state with 1000 dead? If so, maybe you need to harden infrastructure even more because that would be a really severe policy failure.

The people "dunking" on the millions suffering in Texas because it's a "red state" are pretty gross and revealing.

I got the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday. Aside from some mild arm soreness, I've had no issues. I did wake up about 2:00 this morning and found myself sleeping on the arm where I got the shot. That smarted a bit.

Gotta be this for me. Took roughly 4 1/2 years to complete. The vast majority were acquired in-person, with a few purchased from a dealer I trust.

I don't know how many lefties we will face, but I think we will win 123 out of the 125 games started by a righty. You might be thinking, "Wait a minute, if you know how many times we will face a righty, then you know how many times we will face a lefty". But I'm not sure how many ambidextrous starters we will face.

The $ will be spent....in San Diego

I don't know about you guys but I think we really need a few more TLR threads today

You're right about that. People who say RH should have walked if he didn't like the decision are a little too black and white. Nobody knows what Hahn's goals are financially except him. It's always easier finding a job when you have one already.

An out of touch manager and an out of touch owner. Great pairing for each other...they both are clown shows

The quote below from the Nightingale article is EXACTLY what makes me nervous about TLR and what he'll do to the clubhouse - “He saw the game the way it was going and didn’t like it. He told me, 'I really don’t have the right to complain if I don’t do something about it.’ So now he’s in position to do something about it.’’ What part of where the game is going is it that he doesn't like, people having fun while playing the game? This reeks of enforcing "unwritten rules of baseball" mentality and I want no part of that. I regret reading that article - today is supposed to be only good news.

Agree. Hopefully some media person will ask Tony how he completed his 20 hours of community service.

One day soon Chuck will somehow manage to tweet fetish porn.

I have less of an issue with Tony and more of an issue with Jerry.

I agree, bad look there...

He hasn’t got caught in any nets for about 6 months.

They are so fucking impatient. They can't wait for him to develop into the best pitcher he can be they have to open the present now and play with the new shiny thing. Idiots

Maybe we should get a lot of Texans on TV claiming that he doesn't speak for Texans as a whole? Oh wait, that is for a different occasion.

Well, at least TLR was up front about it to the Angels and JR. So that's something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hate JR but I want to be his friend so badly

Rodon got injured while reading this comment.

Sounds like Terry Boers isn't doing so well. They also did a segment on Bernstein and Tahini, Feb 12, where they listened to old B&B clips. Mainly Mike from Milwaukee and Bob clips. Could have just been a coincidence.

Tim Anderson is a way better consolation than Mitch Trubisky.

Good for the kid. Get that money young man. This game isn't promised and he's had a couple of injuries as it is. Get that security for life.

It isn't popular to say, but I am OK with what they did in the EE signing. It didn't work out, but instead of trying to force a guy who might not have been ready into a role, they spent only money to sign a guy that carried no obligation past one season, and still had guys like Collins and Mercedes, as well as Vaughn as back up options if they wanted to use them. I wish they had done more EE style moves in this off season to give this squad more insulation and protection against injury and failures.

"Haters gotta hate" is a funky way to defend your government after a multi-day power outage. But anyway, I moved there because there was a huge surge of students in the geology major after the oil price boom, and lost my job because those students went away after the oil price bust.

Not to say that this is inherently the wrong decision, but if an injury to Jace Fry helped push them in this direction instead of giving Justin Wilson $4 million or something then what was even the point of the rebuild? Also, thank god they DFA'd Ross Detwiler for some reason last year and decided not to bring him back.

Yeah, I get the whole thing, but at the same time, no state spends more time talking about how they don't need anyone or anything else, and how shitty the rest of the country is. I feel bad for the individuals, but the whole kind of Texas persona pretty much asked for it.

Theres a lot of stuff constantly to do. Texas isn't the first state to have the event happen that they knew could happen and cause damage. Chicago has a pretty awesome water management system, but it likely doesn't invest in things like TARP (deep tunnel) without a hundred years of constant waste water battles. And it was billions and it's not even clear it fixes the problem. Hard to get buy-in for that stuff unless you have a "great chicago flood". This situation is really bad and scary for certain for many families and those with medical device needs. But Texas will likely adjust. They may not even overhaul, they may just bring some more safeguards and generally keep it the same. Chicago had a heatwave and hundreds died, and their mayor called it fake news. Puerto Ricos grid was destroyed in a hurricane and their island without power. I don't recall dunking being the response that helped. Not everything needs to be kinder for the fire for the ongoing exhausting ideological battles.

I firmly believe the "championship window" was a deliberate illusion from the get-go. This ownership is either dumb as hell or insulting our intelligence.

I suppose it's not too surprising. DeCastro doesn't run the show there anymore and it's clear he did more damage than good with his lineup changes.

Fegan says Kelley and Cespedes are reporting to Arizona for a minor league mini-camp but aren't part of ST roster
