Tigers @ White Sox, 6:40
Use caution and be safe. It is so dangerous.

Tigers @ White Sox, 6:40
I will be in Section 163 and hanging out in the outfield concourse with a few friends. We had these seats before the last few series. I usually attend the last home game as well to thank the players. A lot of good players and good people on this team.

That is your opinion and you are welcome to it. See you at the game...or at the meeting tonight?

What Broke Mune?
That's fair as I have no idea what the rest of his professional experience consists of in terms of high stakes baseball.

Child please If it were u As opposed to the thousands of folks walking around Roosevelt and Canal everyday? Let’s not act like that section of Bridgeport is busier than the spot where Isbia wants to build the stadium. This just screams Nimbyism

What would be there when a massive rail yard and train repair facility is there? Drive by the CN rail yard in Harvey. Look around it. Is this good for IIT or the numerous properties West of the stadium that have seen millions of dollars of improvements?

Be careful of that number, as it doesn't take into account WHO you are educating. It is a lot easier to have a much lower number when you can legally discriminate against who you educate. Trust me when I say they aren't educating the most expensive children out there.

The issues impact many and transcend vindictiveness or unserious responses.

“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire
Between Alderman Lee, various mayoral candidates, and the ISFA pushing for the Sox to stay in Bridgeport and Ishbia, Amtrak, and now the CFL pushing for the Sox to relocate to South Loop, I think it’s safe to say that, at this point, 35th and Shields will see major changes (regardless of where the next stadium is located) in the near future. I wonder if there’s been talk of developing that area post-Rate Field.

It is as clear as light the proposed relocation the massive RR yard was promulgated for a private business purpose, not for a RR purpose. The proposal is arrogant and shockingly untimely as residents have to choose between attending that meeting or a game a few blocks away - a game for first place during a pennant race. And then there is the irony of "South side" jerseys at that game knowing that Ishbia plans to move the team from the South side. Minimally it shows Ishbia is oblivious to the South side identity that White Sox fans have, and that was long before Ishbia was a Tiger fan in Michigan or had a deal to purchase the Minnesota Twins, his soccer franchise or part ownership in an NBA team. Sox fans that enjoy tailgating will not be happy during the upheaval for the next year or two, and maybe forever. This is going to be a deal breaker for some. Ishbia attending one meeting with his high priced attorneys and surrogates after he has already decided what he will do, is folly. Opposing this will be like opposing a ballroom or the big arch in our nation's capitol. This country is increasingly being run by big banks and billionaires. Stand down South side. Ishbia will have his hand in Sox fan's wallets for everything in and around the Railyard, and of course, that was and is his motive for pushing this absurd plan. Have fun diving into the Chicago river to retrieve a home run. You know, it will be just like McCovey cove by the Bay Bridge and Pacific ocean, only unsafe due to sewage overflows during heavy rains.

BMont needs to be on the bench the rest of the way and only used for late innings defense. We have no idea when Kolson will be back with his wrist contusion. That leaves Mune with it looking like a miracle is needed to get him back on track. We can still win without those 3 as we were competitive in the Guards series basically without any help from them and should have won 2 of the games. What we need is the starting pitching to step up with quality outings.

Tigers @ White Sox, 6:40
This is not a team thing anymore. I am convinced that if Mune, C Montgomery, and B Montgomery keep with the slumps they are in this team will not make the playoffs. IF 2 of the 3 (especially CS and MUNE) can start hitting like they did 1st half this team will win the division and could be dangerous in the playoffs. 10 games to see what happens ................
-
Tigers @ White Sox, 6:40
Baseball Reference right now is giving the Sox a 55.4% chance to win the division while the Guards a 44.6% chance, comes down to the Sox having an easier schedule with 7 home games with 3 against the Rockies in the last series of the year while the Guards only have 3 home games and have that series in Boston.

What Broke Mune?
I wouldn't discount #1. This is the most meaningful professional baseball he's played (outside of the WBC, where he also has struggled). His teams in Japan were not good.

What Broke Mune?
Guys go in slumps but Mune and Colson have to be suffering from bad mechanics, I’m not a hitting coach but the one we have for some reason can’t fix them. Hitting should be simple, see the ball, hit the ball but I’m wondering with all the information available to the modern day player is a bit much and the trend of swinging as hard as one can along with launch angles ruins some players, just look at the batting averages, there’s only 7 guys in MLB that are batting .300. Junior Caminero of the Rays leads the AL in homers with 41 and has one of the flattest swings in baseball but he does swing hard and manages to knock the ball over fences. I’m pretty sure it’s a lot harder to hit a baseball coming at you at 96 MPH with an uppercut swing versus a flat swing. This isn’t 16 inch slow pitch softball like we played in our youth when we had a huge ball and the time to meet the ball with an uppercut swing.

Coach Q at Brother Rice doesn’t teach classes either. Tuition and donations. However, public high schools still make out better… https://ocpathink.org/post/independent-journalism/in-nearly-all-states-public-school-funding-exceeds-private-school-tuition “In Illinois, private-school tuition averaged $12,697, a fraction of the $29,550 in per-pupil revenue provided to public schools in that state.”

Tigers @ White Sox, 6:40
A scorching hot Tigers team coming in against a White Sox team that has been awful for weeks. I don't foresee good things here. Prove me wrong losers.

Tigers @ White Sox, 6:40
Tigers are desperate and would probably need to win out to make the playoffs. Need to win tonight and deflate them.
