“Howard - by dad was t-boned.” End of ad.

Arguing against this would be arguing against franchise history. “This is White Sox baseball.”

I don’t think it will ultimately matter. More important will be that his back doesn’t go the way of Joe Crede’s.

This is what I was going to say. Seemingly getting Colson reps at 3B for next year. But it seems like Colson could literally play 3B well without any practice.

That’s nuts. Looked way inside live.

2/$12 million for Kay. 2/$16 million for Hicks. Not a ton of money in the grand scheme of things but it can add up if you get mediocrity out of them. At least Sandlin can still potentially turn into something.

Not sure what the guy ever did to be deserving of $12 million guaranteed. He was always terrible in the majors. Even before tonight, he seemed to be getting lucky on some hard hit balls each start.

Thought this was just happening to me…

That was on July 30th, 2023, almost three full years ago. A lot has changed since then, and I’m sure once the Mets saw what we are currently seeing from Acuna, their opinion of him changed. Getz relying on those scouting reports from 2023 and 2024 definitely wasn’t a wise strategy. 🤣

Getz, not the Mets. The Mets were probably happy to part ways with him.

That’s even more massive trolling than Ron ever intended, and I think it was a sincere comment. 🤣

But it’s good natured fun. Someone has to compete with @sin city sox fan.

I wasn’t referring to you. We all had issues with the site. Some people post all the time, others only post “I told you so’s!” when the Sox string together some wins but ghost out when they are on a losing streak. Either way, people are going to handle their Sox fandom in different ways. I really DGAF, but posters telling other posters how to be a proper Sox fan is lame.

The fact that you don’t seem to understand Ron’s game here is reason alone that he is probably cracking up right now at your post. I’m still a Ron fan but c’mon, caulfield! 🤣 @southsider2k5 can explain it to you.

QFT. You nailed it.

Ishbia can’t take over as owner until 2029 at the earliest and potentially as late as 2034. Murakami will become a free agent after the 2027 season. The press release said, “As part of the agreement, Ishbia will make capital infusions into the White Sox as a limited partner in 2025 and 2026 that will be used to pay down existing debt and support ongoing team operations.” I didn’t see any mention of Ishbia making capital contributions beyond 2026 or until he actually owns a controlling interest. I guess it’s possible Jerry offers a large contract to Murakami with the idea that it will mostly be Ishbia’s to pay off in the near future, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Are you referring to AAV when you say Pete Alonso money (5-years, $155 million)? Because that would be $310 million over 10 years. Murakami is 5 years younger than Alonso so if he continues hitting the way he is, that might not be an outrageous number. However, it would be for Jerry.

Netflix TudumJamie Bell and Charlie Heaton Lead the Cast of the Peaky...Bell will play Duke Shelby, who’s more ambitious and dangerous than ever.

Perhaps Wikelman gets his shot. He’s probably earned it

Nope… https://www.mlb.com/player/peyton-pallette-688883 Can’t win the Rule 5 every year I guess.

Adjust your record predictions now…

It always seems like they bring in a bench player that knows how to throw some trick pitch like a knuckleball or knuckle curve.

I think it’s more about saving innings in the bullpen in a blowout and obvious loss, moreso than about avoiding injury.

To quote everyone’s grandpa… “Save some runs for tomorrow…”

Not sure what was funnier. The ball boy trying to pretend he didn’t interfere and nonchalantly play it off or the Dbacks LF staring him down.
