Which is a long way of saying only your judgement is valid

Thank god. Is it permanent?

Seeing Bears fans cash all the receipts on Packers fans on Twitter today has been incredible. My favorite being the ESPN Milwaukee dorks being so happy and making fun of the Bears when Loveland was drafted. He is going to f*** you up for a decade, dorks.

Don't worry, he's loading up a post to name at least 20+ current players we should target in FA or trades.

Damn. Cant believe we did SoxMachine dirty like that.

Bless their souls

He lost a ban bet to Chicago White Sox and is sticking to it honorably.

Canfield lost a ban bet and is now posting at SoxMachine

Huh

Sorry, he’s over posting on SoxMachine while he serves out his sentence

He needs to spin a tale about a Korean player from 1973.

Buddy…just come out and say what this is all about. You’re entitled to whatever political views you desire, but trying to use a fluff piece from MLB.com that only cites the player is question and pretending that is somehow proof that everyone in that clubhouse was supportive is hilarious to me. These are professional athletes, some of these guys miss the birth of their own children if the games matter. There were certainly people in that clubhouse who were upset by Shaw’s decision. If you can’t admit that, then you are clearly biased in this matter.

NO

Seriously. We need @caulfield12 back to keep the thread on topic.

Rube confirmed

He invited the Pope to throw out the first pitch a new Sox stadium. I don't know if he specifically said anything to the Pope about staying in Chicago, but during that visit to the Vatican he did make a statement that strongly suggested that he's committed to keeping the Sox in Chicago. That may have been to a reporter and I don't think it was to Pope Leo himself. There's probably a quote from Ishbia about this somewhere earlier in this thread.

I get to dictate how I feel about a person's commitment to their job. I'm probably a workaholic, so there's that. I recognize my politics are different from a lot of athletes I root for. You posted a blurb from Keith Law criticizing Shaw's coachability. I would think that being very present in your kids' life regularly trumps going to a neighbor's rock concert/memorial, and practically every ballplayer sacrifices the former on a yearly basis.

Asked him to bless the new stadium and throw out the first pitch, which he tentatively accepted.

He attended a rally, not a funeral.

Looks like Goodell was at AH with the Bears today scoping it out.

Oh hey aren’t you the guy who knows for a fact what Eloy’s motivation is for playing winter ball?

Good Lord, how the f*** did this thread get derailed about a player that has never been linked to the Sox in any rumor mill as far as I know.....and for whom it would make little sense for the Sox to acquire since they'd have to give up a ton of their existing young talent to get him?

What did Ishbia say to the Pope in November?

This gets sillier because we all know whose funeral it was, and pretending that's not a flash point for some of us here is provocative, itself. I missed my aunt's 70th birthday (huge deal in my family politic) because the cabinet shop I worked for was burglarized the night before, I lived the closest, and I met the police, and boarded up the point of entrance. I missed most of a cousin's wedding for work. I finally threw down and left to make drinks and dancing. My wife and I have juggled countless wakes and funerals around our work schedules. It was controversial at the time. Nobody makes anything about a player taking time off to be with their child for an operation, birth of a child, or family member's death. Tim Anderson played a whole season after his best friend from childhood was killed, and I remember the response in other online communities being mixed.

I hope he didn’t get paid for that game at least. I would say sure, you can leave. But by choosing to, you’re forfeiting that game’s salary.
