LOL> I was 100% right about that but go ahead you vengeful mofo. "Ald. Pat Dowell (3rd Ward) highlighted that the $216 million podium structure, which includes a 1,200-space underground parking garage, solves a critical engineering problem at The 78 mega-development. The site features a complex 40-foot grade change between Roosevelt Road and the city-built Wells-Wentworth connector. Deputy Planning Commissioner Jeff Cohen and Ald. Dowell clarified that without building this massive base structure to bridge the elevation gap, the northern section of the vacant rail yard remains completely unbuildable." The infrastructure is backed by a $425 million Tax Increment Financing (TIF) package approved by the Chicago City Council in July 2026. Originally,, Mansueto promised this soccer stadium would be privately financed . He lied, but the public is used to that routine by now.

The success of the 2026 White Sox pitching staff which heavily relies on the bullpen could become a template for pitching staffs throughout the league. A supposedly tired bullpen is also a bullpen that remains ready to pitch. Take this 🖕

interesting outfield, to say the least

14/36 .389 Chourio with bases loaded can't walk three batters there, obviously looks like mlb gets the series most have been waiting for, Dodgers and Brewers hopefully it's competitive this year SD just hasn't gotten job done with risp

Miller is just not as good recently. I still can't believe he walked Gary Sanchez.

What a moment for Chourio, wow

Why wouldn’t you bring in Miller to face Churio with two on and two out in the seventh just to bring him in to start the 8th. The series was on the line. Those four or five pitches were a bridge too far. They got away with it but that’s poor managing.

Ingress and regress

Like death and taxes.

Eminem in 8 Mile over here.

Many cling to the Zeno's Paradox myth of onboarding statistical analysis. Like, The Sox are 15 years behind. By the time they catch up, everybody will have moved onto to the next frontier. That is, unless you hire their guys, quickly put the resources in place without having to make the years of mistakes and adjustments the early adopters had to, then pivoting to embracing the cutting-edge stuff simultaneously.

People say lots of things. Taylor is not a starter. Hagan Smith can’t be brought up because he can’t throw strikes in the minors.

There was some snarking when Sox hired a "mental performance" coach, but there seems to be something there. Think the guy they hired was poached from the Mariners, whose vibes have gone in the opposite direction. Getz also cites makeup and chemistry for almost all of his player acquisitions now, and you of course need a manager capable of reading the room and building a culture.

Yo Caulfield dropping bars

tray and bad takes, name a more iconic duo

They could get a haul; and if the Sox still figure Taylor as a reliever, they probably should go get that haul. But hopefully, Taylor starts dominates. It would be great if H Smith could do the same; but I haven't seen anything about him that suggests starter (under the definition of giving you at least 5 innings, but preferably 6+)

I know this is best to death but the Brewers don’t have enough pop to win consistently in the post-season. It’s hard to manufacture runs against one pitcher after another throwing at max effort. I want them to win but I think the Padres win this series. Happy to be wrong.

So weird having Sox baseball in October putting my normal AFL watch on the back burner... 😅 The Sox reps in Glendale: IF/OF Caleb Bonemer 1B Anthony DePino IF Colby Shelton C Grant Magill RHP Mathias Lacombe RHP Pierce George RHP Nick Altermatt RHP Jonathan Clark RHP Garrett Wright 4 of last year's AFL participants are currently on the ALDS roster: Braden Montgomery, Hagen Smith, Tyler Davis, and Sam Antonacci Bonemer is already off to a hot start: 2-5 with a 2B and 3 RBI in his debut yesterday, 2-2 so far today with another double and RBI.

One of the journalists criticizing the Red Sox the other day said that the Red Sox are no longer on the cutting edge of analytics due to overlooking things like happiness and chemistry. Believe it or not, these intangibles are starting to make their way into the study of advanced analytics. White Sox, Rays, and Brewers have been in the cutting edge of this stuff in recent years when it comes to looking at these intangibles through metrics and analytics.

Brewers playing some uncharacteristic defense there. Pivotal game if SD wants to come back at home.
