By that argument, sports message boards and talk radio and podcasts will always be completely worthless...yet how would Chicago survive without Bears/Cubs-related criticism? The actual ratio of media talk about the Bears to elapsed game time of those 17 on the schedule plus pre and postseason must like be 100-150 to 1. And that grace period Ozzie got for brilliant managing from 2005-2008 had totally worn out its welcome by 2009-11. Or just like Rick Hahn's AL Executive of the Year in 2019 had less than a four year shelf life. All execs and managers are hired to be fired...

Reminds me of a spring break trip to Florida Keys in 92 listening to NCAA tournament on radio in the van and knowing Iowa was going to get trounced by the inevitable 1 seed in the second round while Iowa under Dr. Tom would invariably be 8/9 and win first rd. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/boxscores/1992-03-19-iowa.html Beat Texas in a high scoring affair, then crushed by Duke.

Just when you start to think someone doesn't belong they prove that they do. At various points in the season Kay, Fedde , Acuna, Hagen , Schultz ,Colson, Braden, Murakami and on and on have taken their lumps from this board. Yet we're still in it and the Red Sox, Cubs and Astros aren't. Just have fun and stop worrying about who sucks and who doesn't. Unless they win the World Series all of us are going to end up a bit disappointed sooner or later.

As an Iowa alum, it's f*** ohio this Saturday! Sox/Guards and Hawkeyes/Buckeye. One of the biggest sports days of my life and I'll be driving the family minivan to Florida the entire day, with 4 kids in the backseat.

No refunds on SMFDB t-shirts

Getz didn’t trade his top prospects for zero return, and got more out of the season. Pretty pretty pretty…..well not good but better than they did.

Getz mediocre deadline acquisitions particularly Castillo, should preclude him from winning any front office awards.

Agree. Got bailed out by winning the WC playoff, otherwise we would still be complaining, if we would have lost the WC playoff. I will congratulate Will and the Sox for the win today, and moving on the Cleveland. All is well that ends well.

No discounts on PCA jerseys? What are the rumors?? All those newly acquired FA pitchers, + Imanaga Happ Suzuki all out? Ricketts will actually spend or sit on his profits again?

For the next trick, Caitlin Clark will advance in the playoffs against the defending champs and Iowa will beat Ohio State while cows/pigs simultaneously take to the air in flight. Best sports week ever, except for the 2005 World Series...not going to count on any more good fortune even with the Pope's divine intervention...or maybe it's intercession in this case.

Okay, I thought you said you were coming to the states to see the first post-season game with your dad. I really was rooting for that.

A while back the ole Hawkaroo was talking about long names on the back of jerseys. He said, you had two choices, get a shorter name or get a bigger back. Anyways, this team rules and they don't need shorter names.

Now that we won't play Houston until next year...we absolutely neutralized Yordan Alvarez all year. He went 5 for 28 against us in 9 games with no homers.

It's almost like the Front Office has an idea what it's doing, and not the online intelligencia.

How else was Reinsdorf going to retire $150 million in accrued debt? Borrow it all from MLB?

The win marked Chicago's first postseason series victory since 2005, a drought exceeded in MLB by only the Cincinnati Reds. It was not supposed to happen, at least not this soon. Not for a team just two years removed from a record 121-loss season. Not for a team so young and so inexperienced. "We've got a young, hungry group, some veteran guys that we lean on," second baseman Chase Meidroth said. "But it's been the same all year. We believe we can win every game." ***Venable said that if the double steal wouldn't have happened, Meidroth would have been asked to put down a sacrifice bunt. Instead, he was free to swing.*** "I was looking for something middle up," Meidroth said. "He's had my number all year. Really good fastball. I got something middle up, and I was able to cash in for the team. Yeah, that was awesome." Braden and Colson struck out, right? Five in a row, actually. espn.com

That would be pretty difficult. He passed away in 1999...but he brought me to all the games I could handle as a teenager, even though he really wasn't a big baseball fan himself. My most poignant memories are actually driving over from the QCities with one of my best friends and his father (huge Sox fan, passed away at 77 to Lewy-Body Dementia) to so many weekend games in the summertime.

He's joking lol

Enjoy game 3 with your dad.

South side celebration was not heard up in Winnetka. Dude doesn't acknowledge anything or anyone "South side." Ishbya had nothing to do with the White Sox this season, not spending one cent on the team, but some want to svk his dik anyway because they hate the South side as well.

Can't ask for a better start to the playoffs for me... Cubs LOSE Red Sox LOSE White Sox WIN Now for Tampa to beat the Yankees and I'll be one happy camper.

That I think would be a mistake.
