Should’ve challenged. Still a fucking awesome manager.

I loved DeWayne Wise. He played with so much heart. I hope the Sox bring him back for anniversaries of The Catch.

This is what I read. FMLLLLLLL

****! I had tickets to tonight’s game and made other plans after reading here the game was postponed. Went on this site after I got home and was confused AF. Missed a 7-6 thriller too...I’m so pissed!

La Russa and Mercedes are buddies. Yermin said a few weeks ago that they hang together all the time. Before that, Tony would credit runs to Yermin being a great 2-strike hitter while he was struggling. Tony and Yermin have the coolest handshake on the team that became a meme the other night. One day, years down the road, La Russa and Mercedes will be co-hosts of the Sox postgame show with Chuck.

Growing up, there was a local Chicago coach, Chico Adrahtas, who everyone knew was a creep. He had been kicked out of his assistant's job after 1 year at Minnesota long ago. He was rumored to invite kids over for sleepovers and everyone was warned to stay away from him. Yet organizations like the Chicago Mission would shield him, give him jobs, and promote him on their website. You would see him, the Mission owner, and the Mission president together all the time. The organization has had loose ties with the Blackhawks for awhile. The Chico Adrahtas story got blown up by the Athletic last year, but it was an open secret to many families around the Chicago youth hockey scene in the 2000s.

I have a childhood friend who runs social media accounts where he gives his "wisdom" on how to treat psoriasis. On these accounts, he touts how you have to strengthen your immune system and warns against the dangers of vaccines. The scary part is he has 16k followers on IG eating this up. He wasn't even right-wing growing up either - him falling off the rocker into alt-right conspiracies is a recent development. His IG account is naturalpsoriasishealing for those morbidly curious.

My father believes in all of this right-wing nutball shit. I had to drive to his home and drag him kicking and screaming (he actually cried) to both his shots or he was never getting it. He has several underlying conditions and multiple doctors told him he was 100% gone if he caught COVID. Yet he'd rather listen to conspiracy theorists than doctors. I have tried talking sense into him over and over and it just turns into a blow-up everytime. These people are delusional.

Very sorry to the Reinsdorf family on their loss.

Great teamwork by Jerry/Kenny/Ricky/Tony to cancel this shit

Yermin and Tony are buddies. Yermin said a few weeks ago they’re around each other all the time. They would make a good tandem with Chuck on the postgame show when they hang it up.

Does this site allow gifs for avatars?

Neither Ozzie nor Melton impressed with him going to the media. Garfien points out Lefty/Lefty splits (LH batting .297 against Keuchel).

If the ‘05 Sox lost on 9/23 & 9/24 to piss away a 15 game on Cleveland, should people have lost their jobs when it happened? Sox went 17-3 from 9/25 forward to win the WS.

If tornado is heading towards Sox Park, taking refuge in La Russa’s Lounge could be enough to save lives right now.

Rodon picks Collins -> Grandal shifts to DH -> Mercedes SOL

Predicting a big day from the G-string 5 thru 8.

Why wouldn’t the GM get to sit in a skybox? I know when the Diamondbacks played at PNC a few years ago, their GM got sit in the skybox. And when he overheard the Pirates PBP’s slander about his managerial career, he walked over to the booth like a bad ass!

Yes, this is a classic case of a topic where there’s going to be a disconnect between managers and fans. Fans love this stuff because it entertains them. But the actual effect it has on a team’s winning percentage and odds of achieving their goals is probably nil.

Filled in for a few games circa 2005, perhaps earlier. Gordon’s stint reminded me of Donn Pall in that they’re both likable and fun personalities, but trainwrecks when it comes to broadcasting skills. If you catch an ‘05 re-run with Donn Pall, it’ll be a trainwreck you can’t move your eyes away from.

No one should be posting. There is a tornado on the ground. Take cover.

Been awhile, but we found our next trainwreck in the booth.

Dick Ervasti had the coolest voice for FOX sports promos. Sucks to hear he passed.

Wow. Annika looks La Russa’s age.

Chuckie Blue Eyes said he’s day-to-day
