Eh, I dunno, Wilt Chamberlain has a folk tale like reverence built around his womanizing.

I’m pretty sure I remember seeing a picture/video of TA in the passenger seat of a car his baby mama was driving while pregnant with his unborn child. I think it was Instagram or Snapchat.

I could not give any less of a s%*# about what TA did in his personal life, or what any athlete does for that matter, unless it's an actual crime like domestic violence. If the consequences of his infidelity contributed to his decline as a player, that's his problem for being an idiot.

Tim Anderson retires after 10 MLB seasons - Sox MachineFormer White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is retiring from baseball, he announced Monday in a Zoom call with Chicago-area media. “I still love the game, but it’s just brought too much pain to me, so goi

Oh yea @Falstaff I got high hopes for Vasil. I think he can be a solid 3rd starter maybe. If nothing else he's a good addition into the mix next year.

Taylor has been impressive in the pen. I agree with you on Taylor and McDougal both get a crack at a SP role.in 2027 There was talk of Mike Vasil possibly starting before he went down with TJ. The timeline on Mike might put him back in the pen 2027 mid-season, who knows on the rehab.

Yeah, but when he gets a hold of one....

American sushi is heavy on tuna/salmon. Every once in a while I will find a good alternate fish roll, but damn everything is a play on California and spicy tuna. Yellowfin is pretty awesome, I’m also a big fan of eel. Just love trying the different rolls when I get out to a actual sushi restaurant

**that became public The first openly polyamorous athlete is gonna disgust so many older fans but is gonna get such a pass from younger ones.

Gavin Sheets is one of the worst players to get over 2000 PA in MLB history. In almost 5 full season's worth of playing time he has been worth 1.3 bWAR and 0.0 fWAR. His career xwOBA is .316, .319 this year. Teach your kids to hit and throw lefty I guess. And look like a ballplayer I guess. He is certainly the type of player that Billy Beane talked about as fool's gold.

It took them 23 years to recognize Ray Durham. I spoke with Ray after that and he was very aware of that time gap. I agree with most. Much too soon. We're trying to move past that era. I honestly see people at the ballpark with Kopech or Moncada jerseys and I get irrationally angry lol. I can name a lot of people from this organization that deserve a night ahead of his. They simply saw the sellout from the Ozzie game and saw another chance for some more green, thats all this is.

A fair perspective but from many accounts TA was inviting his jumpoffs into the front row at the same time his wife and young daughter were traveling with the team. I mean, he was a DOG from all accounts. I don't really rate infidelity that high on the list of sins, but dude was pushing the limits of what any married man can get away with, famous athlete or not.

I dont mind this at all. I was a big fan of TA and hate how his time ended. Gasp, a professional athlete, is not a role model. While I do not agree with his personal decisions and by no means respect what he did to his wife and family, I wonder how many of us would be ok with having our dirty laundry being aired with the entire world. Many of the people trashing him, have the same or a worse moral compass. To each their own. I will be in NY for work, if not I'd go to the game.

Eh

I'd say: Taylor (100%): They want him starting. He's flashed some decent changeups and shown some ability to vary his breaking ball. Hagen Smith (50%): I'd imagine it depends on how this experiment goes. I don't know how his command improves out of the pen but if nothing else at least he knows he's gotta get through 1 or 2 innings, not 5 or 6, could help him. McDougal: 100%): I think they want him as a SP only. The other guys in contention for a spot would be Noah, Sandlin and Shane Smith I guess? Burke, Castillo, Martin, Taylor, Shane Smith should be penciled in IMO. Who knows what FA will look like. Noah to me is a dead end right now. I can see him spending the entire next season in AAA assuming it happens. Grab a year back on his clock and figure out a delivery that he can repeat under pressure.

They have these on the bridge across 35th St from the ramps/gift shop/bar to the stadium. Yeah, that's pretty cool to see. The Brewers are another team who have successfully done this by creating a "walk of fame/wall of honor". https://www.mlb.com/news/brewers-walk-of-fame-and-wall-of-honor

TA got slammed here for having an extra kid.

My hotel was on Ka'anapali beach but we saw close to every inch of that island while we were there. We rented a jeep and we were on the go the whole time. We did a ton of activities and ate at a ton of restaurants. It really was incredible, like you said.

TA retired no way thought he was on Charlotte. ??

I like TA. He played hard on a team where few did. Somewhat surprised, but glad to celebrate a Sox All Star position player of which there have been very few in my lifetime.

Agreed all around. That's why I'm against a Jose Abreu celebration or retirement as well. No thanks.
