Meanwhile, Steve Stone takes entire series off and avoids west coast trips altogether.

Schriffen did in fact attend Dartmouth. Benetti attended S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University which I believe is still considered the best communications degree money can buy.

You know Schriffen has fantasy dreams just like this, and is all pissed off when he wakes up from them.

I’m not sure how your follow-up question even relates to the Simpsons gif Tony posted or why you are specifically calling him out. This is from Jason Benetti’s Wikipedia page: While I’m sure Benetti would rather not have to live his life with cerebral palsy, it sure hasn’t stopped him from being more successful than many people without a disability. Schriffen has no disabilities that I am aware of and he’s still a worse baseball announcer than Benetti.

To be fair, he did say “yearly 3+ WAR player”, although I think most people are hoping for a yearly 5+ WAR player.

What? You don’t think the great Schriffdawg will ever be the voice of Sunday Night Baseball on NBC?

By water taxi.

I think the Sox would prefer to free up a position player spot on the roster rather than adding another similarly bloated outfielder contract for the next two years, just to save a few million. More like a trade for a similarly bloated starter/reliever contract like the Hicks trade. But I guess Jerry is still the owner, so I’m sure he’d love to save even up to $5 million if the Red Sox are sending up to $10 million back to the White Sox with Yoshida for Benintendi. But I’m not sure Benintendi is that much better than Yoshida for Boston to even want to make that trade.

I’m still not seeing how any team would be interested in Benintendi, even if the Sox were actually willing to pick up half of his remaining contract which would mean the acquiring team would owe him $15.5 million over two years. The Sox just signed a similar quality veteran outfielder in free agency for just $6 million for one year. Unless Benintendi has a big first half and/or 2026, I think the Sox are stuck with him until they are willing to outright cut him and pay out his deal.

So my son gave me a new custom Brother Rice / White Sox cap. This thing is 🔥.

I’m guessing he won’t even or will barely wrestle. He’s on the R-Truth gimmick plan. Mostly used for comedy, just for the merchandise sales.

It looked good on paper. Starting catcher, 2B, and RF, with a possible back end rotation starter or reliever. And it was at a time when we needed to fill a lot of positions. But Meidroth may just be a backup infielder.

And he deserved it. The endless mocking of Getz for not knowing that Acuna wasn’t a switch hitter has nothing to do with hoping Acuna turns into a good player. A GM should know the batting handedness of the player he is acquiring in a trade.

It happens every year. ST stats don’t matter. A guy could be hot as hell in ST and then go completely cold once the season starts. Also, guys who can’t hit a lick in ST can start the season hot as hell. It’s like 50 at bats.

The latest rumor is that Vince McMahon is looking to buy back the WWE from TKO with Saudi investors. Problem is I doubt he would get rid of his own son in law.

Why would Danhausen? Why would anyone? Are you serious? 🤣 It’s a stupid gimmick to try to get someone over cheaply. Triple H made it disappoint to the highest degree by using a guy that no one even knows or cares about. He literally got booed out of Chicago. Jericho’s original entrance into WWE was the whole Y2K gimmick with a countdown popping up over the weeks before he debuted. It’s really not that much different than a crate with a deadline to open and frequent reminders. It’s all about the build up and surprise reveal. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BcHpRK9HR/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Huh?!? I wholeheartedly agree with your first paragraph, but WTF on your second? Colson will be a 3B soon, with Cholowsky taking over SS eventually, which aligns perfectly with your plan to trade Vargas. If Acuna is a bust, perhaps they can convert Carlson to CF assuming he hits in the minors for a couple years.

After weeks of build up, Danhausen was in the crate. Apparently Jericho is still under contract with AEW after Tony Khan executed an injury clause in his contract. The crowed literally booed and had no idea who this bum was. They just introduced the guy for the first time and also effectively ended his WWE career at the same time. It was the worst crate reveal since The Gobbledy Gooker. Triple H should be fired. My guess is that his original plan was to have Jericho in the crate but he was duped by Tony Khan. I can’t imagine that Triple H thought this clown act would go over, unless he is worse than I thought. Awful. Vinnie Mac can’t come back soon enough. I feel sorry for anyone who actually pays for these awful PLEs.

The CM Punk / Chicago Bulls intro was pretty cool.

I wonder how many strikeouts he has.

Looking at his stats is painful.

Remember when the Sox acquired Ken Griffey Jr.? “General Soreness”
