When does the current CBA expire?

I know a couple of pro athletes, former pro athletes actually. It’s a job. They go through the stresses and joy like anyone with a job, high paying or lower level. Hell, one of them didn’t even like the sport he played. He was just really good at it and it paid well. Yes, it’s easier to empathize with those that don’t make millions of dollars. That makes sense. However, to think human beings are going to be all in because you (the collective you, not you personally) think they’re playing a “kids game” and you know you’d never let up is ridiculous on its face. Maybe because I’m in the sports world as a career I’ve become cynical. I assume most athletes are like everyone else and have days they’d rather not work sort of like the rest of us. edit: And like in any field there are those that are highly motivated, those that are in the middle and those that are lazy. There are gung ho rookies and vets just trying to hang on and everything in between. I give points to Kopech for honesty and it would make me trust him more.

As a Packer fan why MLF didn’t take the FG at 19-14 is beyond me. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.

If you, the collective you not Chick specifically, can’t enjoy the successes of your favorite team regardless of sport or level then I don’t know why you would watch. I’m mean that sincerely. Winning is incredibly hard and when it’s accomplished, no matter the flukiness or luck involved, it needs to be celebrated. Otherwise why even play the games.

The AL and NL basically don’t matter anymore. It’s all under the MLB umbrella. Sox leave its 100% Cubs town and I become a Brewers fan.

There’s the sarcasm that Taylor is looking for. 😂

Hanger after hanger from this pitcher.

I think “121.”

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

LFG. Let’s do this! Why not the Sox!

I think it can be argued that Sheets has reached his potential already. 😂

The journey is the reward.

9-73 in ‘72-‘73. Bobcats had a worse winning % in the lockout year (7-59).

I want 3-13 so they finish 90 games under .500 (36-126).

I’m gathering names of actresses I’d like to take home too. Unfortunately I’ll probably end up with Bea Arthur (RIP).

The Athletic seems to be doing a daily piece: “White Sox Watch,”’ as they race toward the record. Everyone in the organization must be so proud. 🤮

It almost has to be a White Sox player. 😂

That’s the guy running the show. Wow! Just wow!

I would guess 32 out of a 143 as of today.

Playing the games seems a little crazy at this point. 😂

They’ve won 4 games since July 10. How in the world are they winning 5 in the next three plus weeks? If you set the over/under at 3.5 for the rest of the year I think I’d take the under. I might consider the under at .5 if I got some odds.

Never go full White Sox should be the team motto for the last month.

0 for Sept is on the table.

That’s insane. What a crazy line to have to write.
