i would, personally. I think we'll have a tough 40 man next year and grabbing some middle reliever having a good year seems like a reasonable trade-off there. I would grab a middle reliever every year we are competitive to be honest, they are very cheap and I can't remember a single guy we got for a middle reliever worth anything.

I don't like him, but I actually think him losing his column has made him more bearable as it doesn't feel like he is workshopping a hot take anymore.

One way that I know someone is really well-balanced in life is if they tell me often how they are well-balanced on a message board.

Oh no here come the fun police.

I have bad news for you.

I can't with espn1000. I will say this, and I can't tell if it's because I am getting extremely old and moved into his demographic or if he genuinely improved, but Mully on Mully and haugh has been like really pretty impressive and entertaining on the white sox this year and that show has definitely given sox their due timewise. I don't listen a lot because I don't drive much anymore in the morning but it's been decent. It's wild how irrelevant the trib and sun-times sports sections are now. Trib is basically just paul sullivan chained to a desk in a dungeon covering 5 beats on the brink of madness.

That game was awesome.

the mlb at bat app! It's brutal! I like it though since it texts me .5 seconds before something happens on the tv.

is how I'm extremely annoyed by baseball media again. Takes me right back to 17 years old calling the tribune the cub-une and yelling at every baseball tonight segment that didn't mention the white sox. Biggest annoyances at the moment: - National baseball media falling over themselves to talk about how resilient and grindy the Mets have been since they've faced such devastating injuries that have forced some of their players to the sidelines for upwards of a few weeks ? RIP Conforto, i'm sure they also threw a funeral for you - *Fernando Tatis Jr catches a pop-up* . *my phone buzzes 17 times straight* "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT TATIS JUST DID" "CAN YOUR SHORTSTOP do ThAt? ?" "SEE HOW A SUMMARY OF HOW OUR WRITERS REACTED TO TATIS INSANE CAN-Of-CORN CATCH!" - "The cubs just won a game...are they the greatest team in baseball?" I'm hurt! I'm hurting! The grievances are bubbling to my surface!

You’ve been killing it with these recently.

Probably to avoid hamstring injury

Truly the most boring slate of performances last night

Obviously he was wearing a “Chicago white Sox” tshirt so he was easy to identify

still would like to see more power considering he is corner of.

This thread makes me happy.

people need a timeout.

twice (herd immunity, masks) Fauci admitted to telling incorrect information not due to "scientific method".

I'm not monday morning quarterbacking.

There are millions of times more factories globally to make generic cloth masks. And there is zero issue with the US importing them at the time, it was actually easier to import a good like that than it would be now because of the fact that throughout the pandemic the US was importing a SHIT TON more than it was exporting, so places like china were exporting shipping containers but not getting them back. That you think there would be a shortage of cloth masks because there was a shortage of medical grade masks is embarrassing. Here is a way to think about this for you, explained in the condescending way you talk: - Everybody wears clothes, so when everybody wants to wear a new type of clothes, it is very easy to suddenly produce and distribute clothes. - Only medical professionals and certain tradesman wear surgery masks or N95s, so if suddenly everyone wants surgery masks or N95, it is difficult because the capacity has not been built up to support that amount of production. New machines are needed, more material needs to be sourced. That's not the case with cloth masks, which are just clothing. We have a lot of textiles in existence! I think Fauci may have been worse on this national-scale crisis than when a public health crisis is hitting specific groups - he clearly has a history of listening and taking seriously marginalized groups not getting full attention of the state. And that's really important. But now that we know what a pandemic-threat looks like and how he performed, I just don't see how he is the best person to get the US to a place where we are much more prepared for the next one.

they have played games tuesday-thursday so you probably had a may filter on

Ah yes, now he's trying the "it was the scientific method" greatest hits again. Fauci already admitted their rationale for not recommending masks was not scientific-method based. It had nothing to do with their evidence on the efficacy of masks, of which they already had proof of. From March 21, 2020: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/opinion/coronavirus-face-masks.html From 2013: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258525804_Testing_the_Efficacy_of_Homemade_Masks_Would_They_Protect_in_an_Influenza_Pandemic ^ Showed that homemade masks offered more protection than no masks at all. They at that point classified heavy droplets as the main vector of transmission, and had known that even homemade masks mitigated that transmission. They didn't need new information on how hand washing was effective against this NOVEL coronavirus to recommend it, but apparently even though there was well established previous research on the place of masks with influenza outbreaks, it was okay to mislead the public even knowing they'd have to reverse course in a month or so. And the idea that the US wouldn't have been able to create non-surgical cloth masks because they import textiles is embarrassing. Medical grade PPE is a very specific process, indeed. When the whole world needed more and nearly all production of it was in China, that's not good. But there is both millions of times more regular cloth to use for masks and garment factories could easily be repurposed to make them, as they did! Masks quickly became a new offering from many retailers. These same places likely couldn't have been easily retrofitted to make 3-ply surgical masks, but they can stitch two pieces of fabric together. Everything is imported, even things that are domestic are made with imported components or built with imported components. China likely imports some of the materials for the masks they make. That surgical masks and N-95s would have been scarce was not just because they were imported.

Remember when Stone tried to make himself important by crapping on Yoan? That was fun.

lol

That’s why there was Drama. It’s what an admin does for the board, sacrifice.

Glad this worked out. I didn’t want to do this.
