Liam Hendriks is cancer free
He also signed with the White Sox because they either had or were open to Gay Pride Night. He and his wife seem very charitable too. While he battles this awful disease, his presence will be missed from a leadership perspective. Cancer has touched most people’s lives and the players in MLB are no exception. I wish him the best in his battle with cancer and hope he closes it.

2022-23 NFL Season thread
What if they let week 18 play out, then either push the playoffs back a week and then hold Bills and Bengals players out of the Pro Bowl? Or just not play the game depending on what happens this weekend with the KC and Buffalo games (if the top win percentage gets a bye)?

Thank you for posting and I hope for the best for Damar Hamlin.

You will hear that Fields needs to work on his passing from hosts on the Score, but does he truly need to do that if his receivers are trash and he has no time to throw? I would agree that maybe he needs work on his reads but without much to work with from his line and receiving crew, I don’t think we can fairly evaluate him. That being said, he does need to stop doing that thing where he gets out of the pocket and spins backward outside to try and make a play. Running for his life or not, teams will scout against that move. I would also like to throw Getsy under the bus for not throwing more balls to the middle of the field. If that is Fields not doing it then that is one thing, but it seems like when pass plays are called we almost never see a 5-15 yards and in thrown or caught by our receivers. They need to run Fields into the ground because he is on that rookie contract. If he fails, they need to draft another or sign another as competition for him. There are too many holes to draft one that high this year.

That would be very helpful, especially if Houston were to win. Watching the Bears today, it is clear they really need help on the defensive side of the ball. They can’t stop anyone and look incredibly weak. The offense at least shows signs of life even without receivers. You have to hope Fields is the guy when he gets receivers and an actual offensive line though.

Cool, thanks for filling me in. It would be something if they could trade the puck and still get a top d lineman in the first round.

Happy New Year from Central Time! As a 34 year old with a kid, my wife and I are comfy at home, but we had our fun years!

Has he done anything tonight? I turned the game on in the 3rd and didn’t see much out of him.

Sell the Team
Okay. So what are you all planning to do with your support of the team - buying tickets, following the team on social media, here, on radio or TV this coming season?

That’s what I want them to do and think is best for them to do. It could be Poles’ signature move if he drafts well.

Sell the Team
I saw this seating map today on Twitter. It’s kind of pathetic. I usually buy on their site for my birthday game and opt for the best seats for under $30 which is usually in the outfield and I usually the Bleachers and Brews deal. Beyond that, I only go to another game if someone else wants to go or I want to take my dad to the game for his birthday. I buy in StubHub and not directly from the club to get the best deal. I got 7 rows from the dugout against the Astros for $50 apiece. I’ll probably take the same approach with tickets this year and tune into them on the radio and TV. I don’t trust that JR truly cares about winning, given the amount of times they have made the playoffs since I started watching in 1999. I think Hahn really had to fight for the money invested in Beni10D and Clevinger. It was absolutely pathetic that they aren’t having the fan convention this year when the Cubs are. Maybe they don’t care about the section of young fans they could win over. Our ownership and front office continues to puzzle me with some decisions they make. But I’ll still give them some of my money in a limited capacity even as they f*** fans like us over with subpar teams seemingly year after year.

Do we trust the Bears with the first pick in the draft if they do get it?

Baby/Parenting Thread
Definitely use a sleep sack. It helps keep the baby stationary and from rolling too much. Their limbs won’t get stuck in the crib bars. I wouldn’t worry about SIDS now.

The Colts look awful against the Chargers tonight. It is possible that if Houston plays like they did against the Titans they win one of their last two (against the Colts).

What a craptastic deal. Total bull crap.

Philly looked good but they weren’t great. I can see why they win games, but they looked sloppy in the early part of the game and if they are well defended, the officials let them play like they did today and the other team puts up points doesn’t allow many explosion plays, I can see them losing early on in the playoffs. What is sick is that they have the New Orleans first round draft pick. I went to the bathroom at the stadium when they scored. How bad was the miss? He looks much better. But he still needs a better line to protect him. Quite truthfully they just need playmakers. They do not have many of those on their roster right now, they are hurt or have been traded away. Aside from that completion to AJ Brown and some conversions underneath that just happen, I was very satisfied today.

Sox working on signing a LF
And Jake Arrietta. People here couldn’t spell Arrieta’s last name for s%*#. McGowan! I’ll be mad if they don’t make a move and Clevinger is it.

Fire Rick Hahn
I want to know what could possibly materialize between now and spring training. I think Merkin is full of s%*# and can f*** himself for what he wrote today about being patient. He’s another Jerry yes man. Jerry, your franchises don’t win games and only won titles because they caught lightning in a bottle in 2005 and he was extremely lucky to have the greatest player in the game for as long as he did for the six rings. Your Bulls and Sox organizations are jokes, even if his son makes the Bulls a little bit less of a joke.

Brandon Nimmo resigns with Mets 8yrs 162M
The amount of money isn’t unreasonable for Nimmo. But the amount of years given to free agents now is crazy.

Sox sign Victor Reyes MiLB deal, ST invite
It’s okay, he’s the starting right fielder until Colas is up.

Yeah…it’s more of a joke that was mentioned on morning talk shows like the Mix in Chicago. It was making fun of dbags and nice guys who lose their s%*# every once in a while. They called it a comma.

Winter Meetings Thread
I don’t want to trade him and was happy we got him for a variety of reasons. To fill holes I would love to package Sheets and Graveman as opposed to Hendriks, but it sounds like Hendriks is who teams want. I posted one tweet from him and was trying to demonstrate that he misunderstood that there is a need to trade if there is budget constraints as opposed to a want to trade. I’d love to see a resurgence amongst players that had a down year. I’d also love the Sox to do the bolded and re-allocate resources spent from a position of strength to areas of need. Something I tried to explain to Shane Riordan. So if Anderson is staying and Hendriks ends up staying, there may only be small acquisitions to fill out the roster. Let’s hope things change in a matter of a few weeks. Haha no, it’s when nice guys temporarily become jerks and when dbags turn up the volume on being jerks. Since I read the board on my phone, I thought your avatar looked like John Munch from Law and Order: SVU

Winter Meetings Thread
Think about his anger and passive aggressiveness and a certain time of the month but for a man. He’s putting a thought out there without thinking about it. We shouldn’t care but he should know damn well why they need to move someone rather than want to move someone.
