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."

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."

Everybody shut up. Dig on this:

You've been telling us all along we'd never see one, and you were wrong. I think you'll be wrong again.

New Era had Japanese hats that were black and had the Japanese 'wording' for "Socks" on the face. I couldn't find them.

I guess the Yakult Swallows are the sad sack team of that league. Those fans are familiar with our plight.

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.

I'm just wondering how Acuña was involved in the fake moon landing.

Run that and post it. Robert isn't going to kill it like we thought.

Watching the CHSN replay of the game: 1) I'm kinda done with McGuire. I understand his existence. Maybe even keep him and send Q down when Teel's back. But I'm done. 2) Shriff should get his balls tazed every time he asks Stone if he lets a player swing on 3-0. 3) I have a soft spot for Beni, as an old guy. Not the ball player; his dad. I hope Tony Beni is taking care of the old man. Setting him up to buy regular Powerball tix. 4) Davis Martin is a nice late rounder. Maybe he sticks round for the duration of the team's control. 5) Soroka was a nice gamble when it was. Maybe the scouts who were still in the Sox' employ from 2023 didn't actually scout him, and Getz had to go off of word of mouth. But it was an okay gamble, and they still have Riley Gowens. And Braden Shuemake is captain of the Astros, now. 6) I like this d-backs team. Perdomo is a monster. Vargas better sign his endorsement deals now. It just sneaks up on you when you can't remember where you put your watch, or what the word for a deal you sign with a company to promote their product is called. 7) Pereira works. There's a scouting thing some teams do. If you're scouting a black player, don't compare him to another black player. I am guilty of seeing Avasail Garcia's ceiling with Pereira. 8) I understand the argument that Grant Taylor's the best arm on the team and should be used in high leverage. I don't think he does well in high leverage yet. He's a bit much with a clean inning. Coming to clean up a mess, not so much. 9) 7th inning, that was actually a nice play by Antonacci on that double. He pulled up well to plat the carom, saved a run. 10) Got no problem with Peters or Hill as backups.

I'm thinking no.

The definition of hope. It's Sox related. Plus, that's the #2 Sox fan in the world.

You don't have to imagine it. The people who proudly announced the Sox were going to break loss records after the first series were insanely wrong. That was the flex.

"productive"

Why are you comparing the numbers 1.5 and 20? I didn't know that was allowed. I think Caulfield was doing a concern troll bit after Seranthony served up a save situation as he is wont to.

Update us when he starts showing the ability to avoid those rocky outings he has to bounce back from.

Okay everybody, let's take our victory lap on the track watered with hater tears. Wasn't somebody needling us that we could have signed the much better Sewald, but settled for Seranthony? Stand up! Make yourself known! Well, that 122 losses some were rage-predicting after that opening series against Milwaukee looks more and more remote.

...but the Sox would have saved money and they could have promoted...somebody...if they DFAed Beni right before that pitch!!

Beni-bomb!!

nope

I don't really mind this lineup.

Wow, I hadn't been paying attention to him. I figured for all the talk about Getz getting his pocket picked, Robert must be doing something special. Turns out...nope. I wish him well, but I think he's some version of the stats he's put up over the last two seasons. Pereira, on the other hand, that Cease trade just keeps on giving!!

"Be happy about whatever you want, but..."
