2025/2026 College Football Thread
If anyone watched NU/Duke, can you believe the play call that cost NU the game in OT? 3rd and 1 from the 3 and Coach calls a QB sweep! Naturally it lost 10 yards and cost them the game. Pulled defeat out of the jaws of a likely victory.

Marco Paddy fired
Fire Sodfather too. His bad forecast caused Crochet to waste a start.

And you know for sure that he didn't?

The ghosts of Fred Manrique and Ralph Garr were out there tonight. The fun old/new days.

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
Only public humiliation will do. A flogging or stoning would work for me.

2025/2026 College Football Thread
A local team that I follow won a game! Talkin' 'bout NU. Five in a row dating back to 2023. Congrats to Coach Braun and his guys. Playing right on the lakefront in a temporary field while Ryan Field is rebuilt. They are the only local team I want to see playing on the lakefront. Bears can take their ugly spaceship to Arlington Heights.

Reinsdorf keeps "failing" the White Sox...
I was referring to my own post about not absolving him. I'm cool with yours. Are we OK?

Reinsdorf keeps "failing" the White Sox...
Who knows how much Einhorn did behind the scenes that Reinsdorf, as the front man, took the heat for? This comment is not meant to absolve JR of anything.

So it would be news to a national audience. OK, understandable. Around here, SOS. He lives here per Wikipedia.

Hardly great journalism, but all true of course. A rehash of what every poster here already knew, plus a bit of old fashioned knife twisting. Who’s the author, one of the CBS locals?

Benintendi
Ruins the chances of getting anything for Crochet. Better to keep him, now that he's back to mediocre.

Finally some good news…second consecutive year, Sox win Bobby Murcer award, MLB’s most generous/charitable
Cynicism is a good thing and I’m a frequent user myself but if you donate $100 to a charity and your tax rate is 25% you save $25 in taxes and you’re still out the $75 difference.

Expand the Playoffs and Start in September
You lose playing time for young “talent” and you peeve off your season ticket base.

MLB considering 6IP minimum for starters
The only proper way to approach this is ridicule and you have risen to the task. Thx guys.

NYY vs Grady’s Boys
Cortes is a giant pain in the ass for us. He knows how to pitch and we are his victims. Off topic here, but what's the difference between the big slider and the sweeper? Cousins was throwing a big breaker and the screen was calling it a slider. Sorry to display my ignorance.

Fatigued from swinging at crap in the LH batter’s box?

Signings worse than Benintendi in the last 5 years
The article does cover the Moncada/Benintendi question so it’s not all Devers

Signings worse than Benintendi in the last 5 years
Didn't we want him in the Sale trade but Boston wouldn't part with him so we settled for Moncada? Same difference, IMO.

Who will blow the save? IMO, Wilson's got the mojo.

Fire Chris Getz
Jerry's pathetic attempt at a sense of humor. He'll be here all week. But he should quit his day job. Man's got a god given gift for saying the wrong thing.

I like your joke better than mine!

How about a 21 gun salute? Or a 21 finger salute.

Bob: JR, Getz and Grifol meet to get to the bottom of this
Like anyone needs Columbo to figure this out. JR had a search going and abandoned it to hire Getz. JR is number 1. Getz fugged up. He's number 2. Grifol may be a bozo, but he's number 3.

IIRC when they dumped Carlton Fisk on a road trip he had to get back home on his own!!
