No, you do!

Eh bad officiating is nothing new unfortunately. It sucks for the Patriots, but not everything has to be a conspiracy.

And what exactly would they gain by that?

Counterintuitive but Maye needs to just start running wild. Nothing else is working.

Less football, more halftime show.

The park lacks character and charm, both inside and in the surrounding area. It’s just unremarkable. It’s a perfectly functional and passable place to watch a game, but that’s waaaay too low of a bar for a MLB stadium these days. And because it’s so void of personality and buzz, it has to rely almost entirely on the game itself and/or the significance of it. What it’s lacking matters less when there’s a built-in excitement, like on Opening Day (as you mentioned) or if the team is a contender. But a good stadium doesn’t have to rely on those rare types of occasions to generate excitement.

JFC this really turned into a “teachers have it easy” thread?

I have a really hard time viewing the Jerry Reinsdorf owned White Sox as victims. The system most designed to screw the Sox is the one JR operates.

Nick Richards is actually 3 second round picks stacked on top of each other in a trench coat.

AKME gonna try to turn in their 100 2nd round picks for a top 3 overall pick like they're at the prize counter at Dave and Busters.

Please be for 7 more guards and 7 more 2nd round picks

The one serious team in the division.

Based on this? I think he’s a greedy and stubborn prick, but calling him racist feels kind of lazy.

Being the only World Series MVP in your franchise's history seems slightly noteworthy.

Great post.

TL;DR ”Getz should never have been hired as GM” ”True, but he was” ”But he shouldn’t have been”

In a city whose teams seemingly have been trying to outdo each other for the title of sorriest franchise in Chicago, I think the crown has officially been passed to the Bulls. Their willful mediocrity has been overshadowed by the ineptitude and embarrassment in recent years of the Sox, Bears and Hawks, but the Bulls are finally at the top (bottom). And in typical Bulls fashion, it's still not even that trainwreck type of bad that's at least sort of interesting. Nope, it's just boring bad.

I was definitely saying I didn’t understand the logic of it in the Bader discussions, but my flip flopping ass has done a complete 180 since.

The sox should just play at the united center IMO

Ok I actually like this signing quite a bit and will happily call myself out for flip flopping on this type of move.

The patch is already working!

Made me think of this scene Here's hoping it ends similarly with a 100 win season out of nowhere

Yeah I guess breakout is just relative to each team’s situation. Braves and Orioles: Teams going back to being contenders after a down year Sox and Pirates: Most improved losers Cubs: World Series or bust I buy the Pirates way more than the Sox on pitching alone, even though their lineup still looks a little sketchy.

Cool post dude 👍

As tempting as it is to see an actual major leaguer in the outfield, signing a guy to take at bats from unproven outfielders on a rebuilding team feels a little counterintuitive.
