  1. gameday seemed to show it in the right-center gap to the wall. nvm.
  2. following on gameday. I don't know what Colson did there, but he should be on 3rd base. Oh, and it's nice that MLB let the Sox face the 2024 White Sox bullpen.
  3. Even crappy back-up catchers get paychecks under the current players' agreement. It certainly looks like they spent near the minimum on a catcher they had reason to think would be a good, defensive anchor. And anybody who "called" this was screaming about something that wouldn't even exist. LOL.
  4. I think some here have thrown up June for Hays. If both Ant-man and Kelenic are tearing it up by then, who knows what happens.
  5. If that's the case, Chris Getz just declared checkmate in, like, 3 other dimensions.
  6. That oscillation between "JR's too cheap" and "$1m is way too much money" is why SoxTalk exists.
  7. I think Quero might need a reset in Charlotte. I like that Romo and Antonacci had to play their way out of AAA. Schultz too, to an extent.
  8. I can't believe this organization is so stoo-pid that they paid a baseball player slightly more than minimum to play for a month.
  9. He also punched Ventura on the hardest part of his head with his pitching hand, then Ventura finally picked him and body slammed him.
  10. Once the opener's out, I can see them pinch-hitting Beni for Pereira, depending on ... things.
  11. I believe the stats department does most of the lineup cards. They run the numbers for the offense on the starters' pitch types, and all.
  12. Seeing as the White Sox won the first game and they finished the first season in first place, it's fair to say that as far as the American League is concerned, the White Sox invented winning.
  13. OT, but what I was referring to in the game thread was an exercise some scouting departments do. It's a habit to see a black CF, and compare him to Mike Cameron, or Lance Johnson. The exercise is to think of a non-black CF to compare his ceiling to. I was just saying I was guilty of seeing Pereira and comparing him to Avasail Garcia, another Venezuelan RF.
  14. I don't know which of the paper bag, TLR or Hawk emoji I should give. It's kind of a "Hey-ooo..." with a smidge of regret.
  15. However, it was devastating when he died. I made my sporting goods store I worked at turn on Steve Dahl on WLUP when he died. That's all I wanted to listen to. Mike Royko wrote something profound when he died. "I learned a long time ago that life isn’t always fair. But it shouldn’t cheat that much."
  16. I'm a swarthy Polak. My whole life, people have told me I looked like John Belushi. I was a Realtor. I went on a listing appointment for a Lebanese family in Albany Park. As I was going over the contract with the family who owned the building, the grandma (who didn't speak English) was making a ruckus. I asked if there was an issue. A daughter laughed, dismissed it and said, "My grandmother is just saying that she thinks you look like John Belushi."
  17. Everybody shut up. Dig on this:
  18. You've been telling us all along we'd never see one, and you were wrong. I think you'll be wrong again.
  19. New Era had Japanese hats that were black and had the Japanese 'wording' for "Socks" on the face. I couldn't find them.
  20. I guess the Yakult Swallows are the sad sack team of that league. Those fans are familiar with our plight.
  21. Actually, my dinky hard drive filled up, and I couldn't do anything while I kept trying to find s%*# to delete. I got a Samsung 990 Pro hard drive, and actually relied on AI walking me through the install. It reacts very calmly to being called a dumbfuck multiple times. I'm not really tech savy, but I can handle a circular saw. I told that to my computer, and it complied.
  22. I'm just wondering how Acuña was involved in the fake moon landing.
  23. Do you need to log onto Baseball-reference with your VPN?
