Falstaff

Landon Thome was in attendance at the Cell for his dad's 500th home run. Speigel on the Score had Hawk Harrelson's call and mentioned that Landon was in the womb at the time, cool story.

That took me by surprise to see Hicks deal like that. This team can be an enigma, you think you know but you don't know.

Would you put the A's, Angels, Royals, and Reds as probable sellers?

Jimmy is going to be on the Score at 10:25 with Spiegel

Putting the band back together, sort of :)

White Sox select Landon Thome with second first-round pick in 2026 MLB draft - Sox Machine Thome isn't as large as his dad as we know him, but his listed height (6 feet) and weight (185 pounds) are similar to Jim's at the same age. And while the elder Thome mostly DH'd with the White Sox, he was also a shortstop when he was 18. Landon Thome will likely need to find a different position down the road, but he has the athleticism to stay there for now, as well as the baseball IQ

I think the Sox got great value for trading Gonzalez for the 34th pick and the bonus pool money . Having the #1 pick and all the money that came with it was the perfect time to restock their minor leagues.

Go figure, I am shocked someone didn't blab that out.

Sox Machine pointed out that Jim Thome at 18 was a SS and his height and weight was very close to Landon's. Landon is listed at 6'0" 177, a growth spurt is probably to be expected.

This should be required reading for how the $ come into play on the trade. Jimmy is dialed in and breaks it down.

Gonzalez was blocked at SS, 1st, and DH. If he batted right-handed it could have been a different story

We got the post of the year, that is a classic.

The Sox have the #1 pick and a boat load of money with the bonus pool. I wonder if this scenario will ever happen again under the present system. Now is the time to push your chips in on getting additional draft capital. Something really good is happening, "Sit back. Relax and Strap it down. "

Palka Power :)

It answers the question of Acuna jr or Gonzalez

I can't wait until tomorrow to see how this all plays out with the Sox draft.

Getz is going all in on the draft, now is the time with the draft position and the additional money. Roch, Thome, and ?

Because I am a fanatic, loyalty goes with the territory.

You are correct sir, buy and hold the SP500. BamaDoc and Texsox also point out simple basic investing that is solid advice.

Friday night with Mune in the house, the Rate will be rockin'.

I am preparing for the worst-case scenario that the Bears end up in Indiana. I have determined to donate all Bears shirts, jackets, and jerseys to Goodwill instead of burning them. As far a new team to root for its slim pickings. As a kid I liked the Cowboys with Dandy Don Meredith, Bullet Bob Hayes and Bob Lilly, but Jerry Jones is a total buzz kill. My pro football interest might be OVAH.

A retractable roof would be cool, but the maintenance cost is really high. I would not want a non-retractable dome stadium even though they are practical in our climate.

Spread the word around, Guess who's back in town? Spread the word around.

Big numbers for Mexico- England.
