At worst he ends up in the pen.

I would bet you he pitches for the White Sox before he pitches for anyone else in MLB.

Its usually just misleading.

if you are going to do parks, do them during the week and during the work day hours. It is crazy how many people are going to the parks systems now.

They seem like they would be right in the middle of it based on the classes they keep having and Preller's obvious aversion to rules and decency.

This is powerful. I watched the whole thing. This is coming from someone who is both rich and well known. He has the benefit of a Stanford education, and has risen to the top of his profession, and he still tells the same stories about how he is treated. This is way bigger than don't break the law and the cops won't kill you. This isn't work hard and go to school and you will be treated the same. It destroys a lot of the myths that we tell people today.

To be fair, I think a large portion of the value of professional sports franchises is a combination of their rarity, and of their public embrace. A good portion of their valuations are based on being bid up by people who really desire not a business, but a sports franchise. You can't go into this business without buying one of the 120 or so franchises that exist today. It instantly makes you a public figure and also satisfies the childhood dream of running a team. There just aren't a lot of businesses that bring that to a person. These franchises aren't valued like a normal business on their PnL and their earnings expectations. This is more like a bitcoin where the value is largely on what is represents than what money it makes. This isn't to say they don't make money, because they do, but there is a different set of factors at play very specific to this one industry.

Football is by far the scariest of them all, because it is the one major sport whose entire purpose is for most players on the field to intentionally make contact with other people on every single play.

In Chicago, I think it is $20, or something just over that total.

That is quite literally the policy of this administration.

Sadly this is exactly how unemployment works. They report the second most conservative number so it doesn't look as bad in terms of percentage. Also we know for a fact that the 13.3% number is more like 20% when the statistical problems with the last reporting are taken into account.

There is an obvious answer as to why. Illinois has brought down the most controllable death counts by enacting solid protocols in public, so those totals have been minimized when compared with others. Controlling those numbers in tightly controlled populations is nearly impossible, so instead of having lots of public deaths to delude this number by, Illinois percentage here looks worse.

There isn't the physical space in buildings, even if they wanted to do it properly. There just aren't enough rooms available.

its depressing. I have been a baseball fan all of my life. The mid 90s strike and cancellation was as close as I have ever come to walking away from the sport. I didn't go to a single game for a 3 year period during that time frame. If we cancel baseball due to dollar concerns while the rest of the sports world plays, this would be a lower time for me than 1994.

Wait a few years and offer them a mid rotation over achieving starting pitcher on a decent contract.

Apparently Ty got all of the height.

Are we talking the Jul 21 or 22 class?

Knowing this market-place there is a decent chance the Eli signing was down payment on the next brother.

There is another one after Eli? The Sox signed one a year or two ago, right/

I am OK with the Sox not being a part of it, even if it means missing out on top talent. Exploitation of families and kids isn't worth a few more baseball wins. That article is horrifying what is being done to the families involved here.

In a weird way, I really hope this is why we haven't had the successes in Latin America that others have had. Hopefully we have been doing it right, while others are not. Maybe the Wilder lesson kept us out of this mess.

On the bright side, now we know how the President doesn't have any STDs.

That's also what is on the books. Many of the revenue streams exist as other companies.

Unfortunately NWIndiana is filled with Illinois folks every weekend, so it won't last.

Literally the day the Commish gets roasted for his flip flop on baseball in 2020, MLB leaks positive test results. It's like they want to ruin the game.
