Wait what!????

Teel with his front foot a bit back gives me Ventura vibes.

Ive gone from hating his hire, to being okay with it, back to questioning it. I pay more attention to meaningless emails I send than the White Sox general manager pays to major acquisitions and that is a large problem.

Sure. But if you are a general manager of a major league baseball team, and you trade your biggest asset(kinda) for someone, I would assume at the bare minimum you watch them hit at least......once? How often do you hear a player traded say "its an honor someone would want to trade for me." Now Acuna hears well the general manager didnt even bother to learn my game. Is it the biggest deal in the world? No. Is it alarming? Yeah it kinda is. Shows you he has absolutely no fear of losing his job either.

When he said it at Soxfest I second guessed myself......because......ya know, he would know

Its a great time. Get there early in the morning and wander around the complex for their early workouts. Very relaxed and casual. Have some coffee enjoy the sun. Hit a game or two, mix up some different parks. Lot of great restaurants in Glendale. Definitely worth an extended weekend in my opinion. We do it every couple years.

I dont know enough about Hicks or Sandlin to render a useful opinion but Red Sox fans seem to be dancing in the streets to be rid of Hicks.

Just got back. Good vibes and definitely a less hostile attitude this year. Sold out for tonight at least. Some fun stuff with the younger guys on stage. Good to have Bo there. Getz chatted with Venable and Garfien and that was fine. That said, man do they need a new venue. I appreciate the desire to do something in the neighborhood, but that space is just very restricting. No seating provided tonight. Which speaking with other parents with kids was real rough. If kids were there it was tough for them to see anything. Older folks had a rough time too. We showed up early to get seats so my little guy had a decent view and notta. Also zero food options. No dogs and pizza like last year. The bar had one or two things but basically unless you bought the mvp package your options were very limited. Just such a far cry from the family friendly affair it used to be. Either way nice to get a dose of White Sox in the winter.

The alumni hr derby is becoming a nice promo across the league. The idea of taking my kid to see Frank Thomas hit, or try to, is pretty cool.

Thank Christ someone who can close games.

For whatever its worth mlb network this morning seems to believe White Sox won this trade.

I agree this was a terrible trade but a lot of people are overlooking the possibility that Acuna outplays Robert this year. That alone should help folks understand why the trade happened. Pure salary dump with a talented, underperforming, unpredictable player. Let's just move on...

I remember this too. It was connected to the gift shop behind home plate but for a while was its own separate entity. I remember have to pay like a dollar to get in in the first few years the park. Always thought it was cool. Guess unsurprisingly additional retail space won out. Rip Wilbur. If anyone would...

.........alright then.

I never said anything about not upholding ones standards. I just noted, accurately, we all root for people we disagree with politically because frankly, we don't know where everyone stands. I find it absurd to root against someone because you disagree with their politics but to each their own.
