I can answer your question as I deathly feared the vaccines after listening to different videos and reading some stuff and my growing anger at how I feel we've been lied to a lot over political reasons and our weird sudden love of China. ... What do they fear you ask. Death? Answer: Uh, yes. I feared getting a severe reaction either right after the shot went in or within a day or so. I read that there were some deaths and also my nephew went down in a heap (he's OK) five minutes after getting Johnson and Johnson. He passed out and hit his head going down. Yes they feared either death, hospitalization or what's still out there, long-term side effects. For some reason I'm not that worried about those rite now. Peace.

I respect your post. However this part ... I've run into a lot of people that are afraid to take the vaccine. They are not bad people they are scared of the vaccine and that's the only reason they won't get vaccinated. They are not bad peeps, just fear what might happen to them down the line if they get vaccinated. Personally I got double dosed of vaccine even though I do not trust the lead scientist on this issue.

Three NC State players who were vaccinated tested positive for Covid. It's a nonsequitir that A LOT of people in the stands (pure mathematical odds) have COVID right now and yet healthy college kids were denied the right to play. Either Covid is. big deal or it isn't. The fact the stands are full means it's not a big deal right now except for some grandstanding gesture by the NCAA. Sounds to me like this was another power play by the NCAA with no looking at the science here. They are playing baseball outdoors before packed crowds of fans many not vaccinated. Play ball.

I know all about Rutherford stinking. I still would like to see him bat in the bigs. He's old enough and Sox have played a lot of stiffs this season. He can't be any worse than some.

Moncada is a great 3B. Sox need help and fast. I'd bring up Rutherford too.

Just to fill in. This team has run out of MLB players cause of injury.

This actually isn't a bad idea. Moncada you would think would gladly fill in at 2B for the team. Again, no scientific knowledge, just an eye test gut feeling that Burger can only play 1B or 3B, not 2B or SS. That would be a disaster I'm thinking. Burger is old enough to be in the bigs to see if he can help out.

Regarding Covid and the College World Series, a simple question tinged with opinion. ... So nobody in the crowd has to wear a mask, the stands are jammed packed full, COVID is a pure afterthought there ... and the NCAA makes N.C. State forfeit and go home over COVID issues on NC State's team. Rather than go on my typical rant, let me say this is absurd to make college aged kids ineligible for competition at this point because of COVID when THEY CAN GO SIT in the stands, the jam packed stands, and watch the games. They just can't play in them. Wow.

What Covid is ... is confusing. I see 32000 fans tonight none wearing masks at the Sox game literally just a month or two after COVID was still 'the big thing.' I see a Vegas video on the opening of Resorts World, thousands of people no masks. The fact this varient is out there and suddenly because half the population is vaccinated COVID is no longer a thing ... makes me believe politics played a HUGE role in this thing. It's almost like we wanted to destroy our economy for some reason. On the flip side, some countries are still rocked with COVID and the state of Missouri has been hit hard by the new varient. So I don't know what to say except my current brain tells me politics are OUT OF HAND in this country. No matter which way you roll, you can't deny politics and the things both sides stand for (I won't get into them or I'll be banned again) played a big role in COVID and still will down the line. Suddenly even with COVID out there, NOBODY is wearing masks anymore. One big LOL. Something is up. And greg would like to tell every American ... give politics a rest for a while. Please.

My eye test tells me Vaughn will be a work in progress defensively at 1B.

This team is so injured it's hard to imagine it even winning the division. This is ridiculous. Everybody's hurt.

No. Love Field has Campisi's pizza. It's so damn good and local.

I've never been a "buy a box of candy guy" at the movies. Hooked on the one medium sized jug of popcorn and one water. Although our movie theatre has real food now like burgers and pizza which will tempt me if our theatre opens up again. Yumm. But $$$$. In conclusion I never buy candy not cause of the price but I don't need the milk duds during a flick. I do need to munch some non buttered popcorn.

The Covid protocol makes sense. I never thought of that, however I'd still make sure they got their popcorn on the way out of the stadium.

Airports and movie theatre prices are disgusting as well. Kansas City airport really is a gouger, ripoff. However, some airports have chains like Dallas Love Field with Whataburger and that local pizza chain that arent' that overpriced. Midway Airport you can get grub at that foodcourt that isn't ridiculously priced. I usually get a chicken panini at that food court stand that used to have pizza slices. Panini and a softdrink and chips is regularly priced. Movie popcorn is hilariously overpriced. Before covid I'd go to some movies in the afternoon. I'd buy a popcorn no butter, a normal sized bottle of water and I'd laugh as it was about 16-20 bucks. Ought to be illegal.

If I was that security guy I'd have told them where to meet me as they were walking out so I could give them their popcorn for the drive home. Hopefully he did that. Common sense, White Sox. Show some.

It really angers me. Bush league in a 9-3 game and plenty of room for the popcorn. Just tell the fricking fans on the way out to not bring the big bag of popcorn again. Some fans ought to run up and buy em some more popcorn if there's time to get a few boxes for 8 bucks a box probably.

Taking away that popcorn is bush league move by Sox management in a 9-3 game and no fans sitting where the big bag of popcorn is. Obviously if the popcorn was getting in the way but that's just wrong. I love the way the woman kept eating the popcorn and not looking at the security guard and just kept eating til he took the bag. Sad White Sox.

Is this the best yet least likeable team in Sox history? I think many of us would be OK with a ton of personnel switches in the lineup and the Sox are 14 over .500 for gosh sakes. Hard to fall in love with many of these guys. Don't get me wrong. 14 over .500 is dandy.

Hard to believe the Sox are 14 over .500 with this lineup and iffy relievers. Injuries have decimated this team. I miss Madrigal too.

As long as they throw it there and not on the field like the Cubs do.

I'm not a big fan of Goodwin. Is there reason I should change my mind about him?

To my untrained eye Jose has a bad approach at the plate this season. I do realize he's close to the lead league in RBIs. I know it's cliche and probably wrong but he seems 'off' at the plate. He takes a lot of cookies and has a lot of bad at bats. I'm hoping he starts to relax and fricking pound the ball.

Covid news today: I was reading it still hasn't been decided if spectators will be allowed at Olympics. I wonder how many people have flights booked to go over there. My opinion: You'd have to be nuts to go to Japan right now for the Olympics. That's not the best place to be with Covid still around. In fact that's not a good place to be with Covid lurking around. The Games should probably be called off til more is known about the new variant. Also Missouri has a lot of cases of people contracting the new variant of Covid. My opinion: If this was an election year, me thinks Covid would still be quite an issue in the USA, lockdowns, etc., still rampant rather than opening up. Why? This new variant thing is looming and a lot of peeps still won't get vaccinated.

That's wild. It's mind boggling. Reinsdorf must never run into Stoney. It'd be awfully embarrassing to be a billionaire and not allow Stone and Benetti to actually call the road games in person. Stoney should say something to Jerry if he ever runs into him. He's got nothing to lose at age 73. It's so cheap of Reinsdorf. It is really stupid in 2021 to cover games off a TV feed. Wow.
