If Fletcher's going on the IL, they need a 4th OF.

Popeye bet on White Sox game run totals. The one year suspensions did not bet on games in which they were playing.

I'm confused. Do legitimate organizations not call up minor leaguers when their players get injured?

Rodriguez bet $749.09

Popeye Rodriguez gets one year suspension for gambling. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/06/mlb-lifetime-ban-tucupita-marcano-betting-baseball-four-one-year-suspensions.html

The thing that really sickens me was the wave of White Sox Twitter influencers posting their bet tickets on Twitter. I have to believe that they were recruited as influencers to bet for free and post, or maybe they weren't. My timeline was littered with team win/HR parlays for a season. If they weren't recruited, it's really *that* fucking addictive.

Hey, I have a question, asked under a flag of truce. I get the negative reactions during game threads, or to daily roster moves. Pointing out "there's that first class White Sox development!!" after an error or baserunning blunder is one way to blow off frustration and not break your TV. Some of the bloggers on Twitter run regular features, like SouthSideSox's Futility Watch, where they update the run differential, losing streaks, where this historic bad start to the season ranks, what the team's on track for, and I suppose, if I wanted to keep track of that to mock it, or whatever, that would certainly be an informative series to follow. But does anybody listen to an hour-long podcast on the team where they "document the atrocities"? Does anyone actually spend the time to read another article mocking the Sox for how bad they are? I'll listen to FutureSox podcasts, maybe SoxMachine, if there's a lot of roster moves or other news I'd like Jim and James' take on. I would think people who have the same outlook (hating the team for this period of suck) would just steer clear to save an hour in the day they're not pissed off at this team. I wouldn't spend an hour listening to a podcast that mocked the Cubs or Guardians. The other threads on Twitter - where a blogsite might beat on the Sox for this horrible streak, then try to gin up enthusiasm over their piece on the Cubs/Sox series, maybe they get clicks from different subsets of fans on each type of approach, and they just stay away from each other, for the most part.

This happened while Marcano was on the Pirates. Apparently, 4 other, unnamed players are under investigation, according to the WSJ's reporting. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/06/tucupita-marcano-under-investigation-for-betting-on-baseball.html

more gambling scandal:

Thanks for this. This has been frustrating.

Bad news for Biden.

The disdain the admins here have for the users is delicious.

Wow. Sick burn. Or use your time to make the site more user-friendly. Educate yourself on what's actually happening here. People who share your opinions can't embed tweets. I can understand you not caring if somebody who disagrees with you can't navigate the site. Your mini-me brigade wants to post tweets that have different versions of "shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic". Pin a topic that walks them through a couple fixes.

And really, instead of cheering on the mopes in flame-wars, maybe figure out a way for people to insert twitter posts in their comments. Multiple users are frustrated with this. Your admins don't seem equipped to walk them through a solution.

Ok, boomer. There, did I finally execute a devastatingly clever putdown? LOL.

Your mini-me started it.

The mirror doesn't talk back, dumbfuck.

You mean to tell me that you actually predicted that a bad team would go back to losing after a hot streak? How fucking prescient. LOL. I don't know why you try responding to my posts, you misstate or misinterpret months old exchanges. I'm not going to waste time to correct your incorrect memories. Maybe just stick to responding to everyone's dumb, mocking jokes with slightly different versions of their dumb, mocking jokes? Sour pusses like yourself get to weep and moan all day every day about your poor, bad baseball team. You try to dunk on people who looked for positives in the off-season, ST, and during losing streaks, but get all agitated when somebody posts a fun fact, or joke about a player's hit streak. Maybe grow a pair of these testicles that you're obsessed about getting hit in the forehead with?

I have no idea what any of this means. Hey, I'm okay, you're okay.

If Benintendi, Vaughn and Maldonado could get suspended, that would be ideal. Explain to me how anger doesn't do anything, but shame does. You know, there's an entire string on the front page here where multiple people seem to thing everybody in the organization should be "embarrassed". Why would that matter? LOL.

Anger brings change. Go listen to some Zig Ziglar.

Are you a major league coach or something? That's some deep analysis. LMFAO!! The funnier part is the dudes who write the "fighting doesn't solve anything" peace and love posts, but finish it off with a bunch of petulant name calling.

Boomer? LOL. This Sox team needs to get angry. If it takes a couple of bench clearing brawls to focus them on the matter at hand, so be it.
