I have 4 young kids and rarely get alone time. Last December I left work and went to Hooters by myself, then took an edible and saw Kill Bill vol 1 and 2 back to back in theaters. That was true happiness.

It's also interesting if he ever wore that hat while representing the Sox outside of their own facilities...like the Area Code Games, and whether anyone ever spoke to him about it and how it made others feel. We can talk about free speech until blue in the face, but not when it collides with a pro sports franchise worth billions and its organizational perception...there are limits to what anyone under the owner's box can get away with, especially since 2015, but also Me Too/Epstein. Heck limits on billionaires now too. That's just the cold hard reality. It's also why the owners would prefer AI and data centers to replace human scouting as much as possible without being sanctioned by MLB NYC HQ. I guess even going into a Hooters Restaurant would get you in trouble with someone these days...at one point, they even had an airline. Interestingly enough, Vietnam has an airline where flight attendants wear bikini tops, run by a female CEO. https://vietnamstar.net/vietnams-bikini-airline-named-worlds-best-ultra-saver-airline-2025/ Guess it's just select promotional flights and not on a daily basis.

Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet

It’s so crazy that some people can’t keep their toxic personalities in check at work and focus on business. That being said, he sure fooled me with his media appearance.

The cardinals should probably play it safe and sit Jordan Walker again. You never know, an ankle tweak can turn into an amputated foot just like that.

Typical Sox I guess. What’s a matter with this team

I mean you are right, but it is also pretty funny to see the fragility around it.

Odd coming from a mod where people will now suspect a political bias. Twice in the thread someone had to release a political turd, Some of us come here for Sox baseball. I can get the anti MAGA/pro MAGA elsewhere.

Seemingly in speaking about his client De La Cruz, this is what Boras said> "We don't care what dinner time is. When you're the steak, you sit there and wait for what? You wait for what the market brings. And you listen." There are two ways to read that. On the one hand, Boras implies that De La Cruz won't rush into a deal and will listen to the cases made to him from every team down the road. Maybe that leaves the door open to an eventual decision to stay in Cincinnati. But on the other hand, Boras is saying De La Cruz won't be signing an extension before his deal is up in Cincy. That would be the opposite of waiting for the market, and he evidently feels that De La Cruz deserves to get to free agency and bring out some big contract offers from around the league. yahoo sports

Touched a nerve there?

Win the next two, the magic number is 8 or 9, depending on what Cleveland does today.

Guillen and Nick Swisher?

Why can't I find a god damn picture of the slump-buster sex doll incident? Those were the days.

YEAH BUDDY!

Bring back locker room talk.

Are you saying that Marco Paddy and Kenny Williams were fired because of their ethnicity and race?

Dramatic down to their last strike HR with a HR call that didn’t make me cringe? Great game for Sox fans!

Burke I need you more than ever. Total eclipse of the heart.

https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/white-sox-scouting-director-reportedly-resigns-after-investigation-into-verbal-harassment-allegations-024321360.html Apparently the Area Code games is the recent behavior example. "In 2022, he was investigated after a former employee left the club and flagged his behavior toward scouts from underrepresented groups. ***The tip was made to MLB and later passed on to the White Sox, whose investigation did not find any bias in his hiring practices or behavior."*** SHOCKING I say!!! fyi Daraka Shaheed was one of those Sox minority scouts that were pushed out (2024) in recent years. Daraka ShaheedHigh Heat Consulting/ MarketingHercules, CaliforniaNot to mention the White Sox international scouting director, Marco Paddy, and KW ofc. "However, the team has undergone significant front-office and scouting department restructuring under General Manager Chris Getz, which included parting ways with veteran international scouting executive Marco Paddy and letting go of multiple area scouts in the Dominican Republic." Well, they did hire 1 1/2 new scouts for Japan with Mune's arrival, lol.

He was notorious for wearing a MAGA hat around the White Sox facilities
