What does it cost and do you have that in addition to cable?

Has anyone ever switched from Comcast to Directv?

It apparently is going away on Monday per Reddit.

So last year I could turn on the craptastic turf sandwich White Sox games on my basic Comcast package. Then they shut down the Comcast channel, said an OTA antenna is okay and now they need me to upgrade to watch another shitty team? f*** Comcast and Reinsdorf!

Sorry, I meant what the swing change was. Maybe he shortened it up or dropped his hands.

Why was the actual swing change?

Mr. Outrighted then

Way to go DFA candidate from the Cease trade

You didn’t like Sox Math did you? Stupid, slow, speed C Andrew Vaughn sucks.

He’s just low energy and when he has energy it doesn’t sound authentic. Benetti was a better pairing with Stone as he was so much more interesting and he and Stone made the broadcast exciting.

I can’t put my finger on it but Schriffen kind of sucks as a play by play guy. We were spoiled to have Benetti.

I remember Alex as a poster who treated others as respect and as one of the longtime contributors to this site. It is truly sad to hear that he passed away so soon. My prayers are with you and your family Alex and may their memories of you help them through their tragic loss. May you rest in peace.

I feel like there was a time where the site crashed because of the traffic when there was an important trade or signing going down. But I don’t remember what it would have been or when it would have been since the site is rather reliable.

Thanks, I’ve been monitoring the box scores lately and wanted to understand. Thanks for pointing that out. They actually hit him in an 0 for 19 slump against a fireballer.

Is the point of the opener to avoid short outings by a young starting pitcher or is it because they are short in the rotation and need to eat innings?

I don't like it. They should have traded up to get one of the linemen before they came off the board. I knew Jeanty wasn't going to happen. They never draft linemen high. People seem to prefer the PSU TE, I don't blame them. Braxton Jones can’t be the left tackle going into this year. They have to address the lines!

Dare they bring in someone like Michael Fulmer to eat innings? Or another scrub in his 30s that is unsigned?

I often thought the food at Wrigley reminded me of a high school concession stand. Especially before they renovated the stadium. I’m glad someone wrote the article so I could say, sure the baseball sucks on the south side, but you can find discounted tickets, parking, food and drink on the south side.

Back then. Who would you rather bunt on, Bartolo Colon or David Wells? I remember Wells threw out his back against the Cubs one game when they bunted on him and I believe that’s the same game Carlos Lee hit a grand slam to win it in extras. I can’t remember if Colon fielded his position well or not.

Who could drink more beer, David Wells or Rod Beck?

One win closer to the 53.5 win mark!

Every time I sit there, there is a fight. There is way too much drinking, hormones and roid raging going on in that section😂 Konerko Getz Kuntz! That’s what I noticed too. The pitching was great and they executed today. Play fundamental ball and make some plays and this team could go over 53.5 wins.

How did you recognize him and what inning was he there?

Sports gambling isn’t even that interesting a topic when they do talk about it on the afternoon show, but I get that it is a revenue stream. To each of your points, I’m trying to remember when I heard politics. I seem to remember some of it in 2017 going through 2020. There was some heated conversations about Kaepernick, Covid and George Floyd I could remember. I don’t remember it being all of the time though. It should be a sports station but I never had a problem with times that called for some serious discussion by non-political pundits. I felt smarter about sports listening to Bernstein. His interviews, analysis, his introduction to analytics, it all made sense. Someone on Chicago Fanatics tried making it seem like he refused to apologize to that person and that’s why he’s out of a job. I don’t believe that. I think your point about Audacy makes a lot of more sense.

Part of it had to do with the dynamics of sports radio and the economic situations and not necessarily Bernstein though.
