Also feels like “The Los Angeles Sacramento Kings of MLB Angels of Anaheim”

I need Thuney to be my roommate for a year so I can start thriving in life.

You made me look up white knighting (annoying) and I'll be damned if you didn't further prove my point by using that term. The jokes write themselves.

Lol. This isn’t one of the two times a broken clock is right, but keep fighting the good fight. I’m sure being bitter and cynical toward everything is very worth it in the end.

Glad that you know the REAL truth.

Huh. And I was told guys like him and Yoan just stopped caring after they got their big contracts. It's almost like they have a competitive nature and a passion to keep playing the game.

This is true. There should be a balance there. I just think once you start calling the game with too much of your heart than your head (i.e. always leaning the Sox way on 50-50 calls), you start getting into the Schriffen territory of thinking you can sell a product to fans that isn't actually there.

But his job is to accurately describe the game, first and foremost.

I wonder how much of JR’s thing is actual loyalty vs him just wanting to avoid the work involved with finding replacements.

I’m in the camp of getting a potentially very good player on your team is actually a good thing. Especially with the whole perpetual “beggars can’t be choosers” thing the Sox have going on.

No the key point is actually that they tried (and are still trying btw). The failure is so noteworthy because of how hard they’ve been trying. I will take that approach 10/10 times over whatever it is that JR does.

My preemptive lemons into lemonade approach for tonight’s game is hey, if the bears lose, at least they can rest guys next weekend.

Woof

Eh I think this is the kind of half move you see a lot with teams who are sort of trying to win but are being overly conservative about it. So yeah, I’d be surprised if this didn’t take the Reds out of Robert trade talks completely.

Honest question about Baldwin: What’s the intrigue with him? I feel like I’m in the minority in that I find him really underwhelming. And for the record, I’m glad that I’m in the minority. I trust a bunch of yall seeing something in him more than I trust myself not seeing it. But I just don’t what “it” is.

What’s your obsession with a poster making posts?

Low key great part about last night was that I don’t recall the broadcast giving the new stadium crap any airtime.

I don’t really mind Poles being there, but Warren can GTFO.

Isn’t this Burden’s first injury?

Side note: The Sox Sunday home uniforms should be the pope outfit. Just go all in.

Warren will take a lot of heat, and rightfully so, but he’s not doing this without George’s blessing. The same George who held a meeting with rookies before the last Packers game to explain to them how important the Bears-Packers rivalry is. Lol.

Thought Caleb had his best game of the season. He regularly hit on both the eye popping and the routine throws, while having very few (if any) of the “what are you doing” plays.

Surprised the bears are still trying to pass the ball as much as they are

I’ve never seen first basemen written out like that and it nearly broke my brain.
