The Beast

What actually happened to Moncada?

I’m glad Hendriks has a huge heart. My twin sister is gay and I am glad she is accepted and loved by her family and her girlfriend. There is a lot more to do with acceptance in our country, particularly in my opinion with older people and people who have deeply held religious beliefs. As a country, we are stronger with diversity and that includes but is not limited to LGBTQ+, immigrants and minorities.

Would you prefer he list all of the reasons for the increases?

That was my observation too from earlier in the year. 6 innings should be the standard. I’d love someone like Sean Lowe out there. But it’s okay, they are only almost 7 back in the Central and 2.5 back in the Wild Card and when they miss the playoffs they’ll talk about injuries and a need to get better. What a joke.

Thank you for making this thread. The usual Sox media brass on Twitter and the wannabes didn’t say crap about the injury he sustained. I am at least glad it isn’t an arm injury.

Fire Tony

That hitting is what I expected to see this year after what we saw last year. I don’t know what I saw this year, but it wasn’t professional hitting. Do what they did in the 8th inning more often.

Sheets could also rebound a la Ian Happ, even if one player is much better than the other.

They do, somewhat blindly. They look at something that has gotten more expensive since Biden took office and don’t give a damn about the underlying reasons which is stupid. I also am not sure that people know what the GOP will do to tackle inflation since they may not have much of a plan, only the pull to weaken the Democrats in congress. Lol Greg… Just because someone is to the left of center doesn’t mean they are leftists. There is such a thing as a moderate Democrat and a Problem Solvers caucus. You mention he doesn’t give a crap about the little guy and gal. What do you call the stimulus checks, the vaccines for the insured and uninsured, the unemployment checks and the child tax credit? If you follow what is going on with congress, you would know that he is unable to get the extension of the child tax credit, the prescription drug negotiations and parts of his economic agenda that Sinema and Manchin support through congress. Provisions that help the climate, reduce the deficit and are economically beneficial can’t get passed without those two senators. As for the huffing and puffing, the only evidence of that is when he told Doucey he was a jackass for his question on inflation and when he talked about the MAGA support which is not his base. We can debate whether or not he should be doing it but the fact is that he needs more support to get things passed. Let’s get those facts straight for the sake of discussion.

But can one man or one administration truly control all of that? Did one piece of spending legislation cause all of that?

It has to be the upfront cost of a charger and a vehicle and how they believe it would be too costly of a transition from their gas powered car to an electric car. Some people probably think electric cars can’t replicate what the larger cars can offer.

That is a great video. I would probably do my fact checking, but a lot of what he said made a ton of sense.

Come on Harrison lol

Hit parades are fun.

Both things happened, one was closer than the other. Just like the 2004 World Series winner and 2016 presidential election winner won.

Same. And Guillen over TLR too.

Right, but would the Keystone XL pipeline have solved the gas prices (that is the only argument I have heard to support that it’s one man’s fault)? I could understand expanding offshore drilling or trying something with fracking, but my point is that one man can’t control a war in Ukraine, get companies to increase production or get other countries to increase theirs (although it looks kind of like they will try).

National outrage is coming in November. Even if people were pissed to the point where they protested or got violent, there isn’t much that can be done about the gas prices. One man cannot fix it.

I’m going to Tampa this weekend for vacation and don’t think I want to bother going to see them play with how badly they suck!

Yes! I use it when I go shopping at Mariano’s and need to fill up every few weeks. If you shop and fill up monthly, you seem to be able to decide how much to use, so maybe you use less and spread that over a longer period of time. Getting $0.60-$0.90 off a gallon is great! I hope you’re using coupons when you shop there, they even have triple the loyalty points if you shop with a delivery or pickup order or buy certain products.

It would be nice if this happened. Although this is a Reinsdorf run organization so he might stay out of loyalty. My guess is TLR has another year.

Yep, just like the good old early 2000s, except this team wasn’t expected to suck. If they go 72-90, La Russa won’t get canned. He won’t get canned period. Truth. Sadly.

Lol I thought someone posted he said something about vaccines. Him not being there just raised the question is all.

Is Steve Stone not vaxxed?

Tony isn’t legit as a White Sox manager, at least not during the second time around. I’d rather see Guillen in there than this asshole.
