They should phrase this better. Makes it look like "will" is an auxiliary verb as in "Will will set the tone". I don't know why multi-billion dollar corporations hire illiterate people to do their communications. Or every single newspaper.

bruh. everyone wants grant to start. hand the closer role to a guy with 1 arm if it means grant taylor is starting.

So why was/is there 'private interest' along 55th st and 47th st corridors? Moving forward, 33rd st. One is the University of Chicago, right, but the other two areas are the hood. Well they won't be for long.

Legendary career that I never watched. My memory of him is going to prison for tax evasion, citing "research" that only federal government employees were required to pay taxes. Rest in peace!

campfire milkshake bought him at least another decade

Not mad about it but I thought he was better than we gave him credit for. My problem with him is that he refused to learn baseball, not that he was a little goofy. I liked the goofball shtick, I don’t like that he didn’t know a damn thing about the sport or the players. He definitely could’ve learned.

Not as good a class as last offseason. Spend all the money on starting pitching regardless, there are enough guys in there to hold down a rotation.

Thanks for doing this all season, Lip Man. Always a wonderful read.

Yeah that's more notable to me too. A pennant this year would've been incredible.

Neither team made the World Series thus nobody is gonna care 3 months from now. Second loser or fifth loser? People might remember the Sox massive turnaround relative to regular ol par for the course Cleveland ball.

that burke is a better pitcher than detmers to those of us with eyes. nobody is swapping bonemer and other players for burke.

When Jeff Samardzija is on the trade market, you do whatever you can to get him. uhh I mean Reid detmers Not giving up real prospects this deadline was wise even if Detmers in place of Castillo wins us the division. They still gave up too much. I’d rather have Sean Burke and teams aren’t lining up to give away their best prospects to acquire him.

Hiring people who have previously worked for other MLB teams is a losing, nepotistic strategy. Everyone knows that teams like the Guardians and Rays are successful because they look outside of baseball and hire Starbucks baristas and kids with a lemonade stand. What is Getz thinking??

I don't really understand why people dislike Pham so much. He seems intelligent and outspoken which is harmless and entertaining. I thought signing him was pointless, but the 'reputation' is unwarranted. They ostensibly brought him back because they like him and the 'culture' of this team is 100000 times better than it was a couple years ago.

Ant man kinda seems like the odd man out and I’d consider trying to sell high on him. He’s just not any good in the outfield. Brooks and Bonemer are more exciting to me as left fielders. I hope Benny gets cut.

This reminds me, whatever happened to our e-friend South Side Hit Men? Was re-signing Clevinger really the straw that broke the camel’s back?

he's my trap queen

dude you thought they were going to lose 100 games. this season was a massive turnaround that very few people anticipated happening. so what if the AL is bad this year, they still outplayed 80% of the league. that being said, this year is pretty much what I expected would happen. I thought they'd play about .500 ball and they did. I'm not shocked they lost in the postseason. I'm annoyed they felt compelled to buy at the deadline and I'm annoyed that the 'young pitching' didn't work out like I thought it would. of course, I don't think Vargas would become the best third baseman in the league, Chase a top 2B, that a DFA'd Savannah Banana would be an all-star, that Mune-sama would even be on the team; pretty much anything we got out of this offense was shocking and entertained me for months. Past 5 years or so, I watched a ton of minor league Sox ball but hardly any this year. the MLB team was a watchable product all season for the first time since basically covid. I dunno man, this was a pretty wonderful year of baseball even if the team nosedived the second half. There's a clear path to contending for a World Series for many years to come, but a team full of rookies couldn't get it done this year against a perennial veteran playoff team. It sucks and I wish we won last night, but if this team was a disappointment, then so is the entire league outside of 4 teams.

why is jerry allowed to smoke at the ballpark but they ask me to leave when i do it

bro what

FEDDE WOP

4 of 22 pitches have actually been in the zone

Don't think Hagen has thrown a single strike. not great.

ramirez could've just not swung
