The shift in this country towards anti everything decent has been unreal to watch.

No it is way better to run up on, then put your hands on a stranger with his kid and demand something from him.

That people can be generous, just because. Can't have that in 2025.

But the Sox odds don't change within those slots.

Do Cub fans live south and/or west in/of Chicago? They aren't all coming from the north. Hell I know tons here in Indiana who take multiple trains, including through the scary southside, to get to Wrigley.

Those are not the #30/29/28 teams.

If she had gotten to the ball first, literally no one would have said a word. No one also would have said a word if the dude ran over, got the ball and kept it for himself. This woman made herself the story when she ran up on, and put hands on, a complete stranger with his kid in a vulnerable position. If it had been another man who ran up on this dude and pulled the same stunt, he would have been just as rightly ridiculed for being entitled garbage.

It's just tropes at this point.

The #30, #29, and #28 teams all have the same odds at picking #1. The odds don't change for the Sox unless they hit #27. The Sox would need to fall two slots which is currently 8.5 games, in the last 18 games.

The Sox odds are the same in 30th, 29th, or 28th.

Who's to say she wasn't getting the ball to take to a Satanic ritual as a sacrifice? Who's to say the boy who got the ball first wasn't dying of cancer and getting a HR ball was his dying wish? Yeah, it's absurd. People keep talking about kid's these days being the participation trophy generation, but they learned that behavior from people like this who act entitled to everything, even when they didn't actually earn it.

I am glad to finally admitted this outloud. It's step one to getting past your fears. Don't let your life be occupied by fear tropes. The whole rest of the world is able to handle it being out in public in big scary cities, many way worse than Chicago. If Cubs fans can do it, so can you.

So explain to me Yankees and Mets fans, who again, can survive after dark without surface parking? Sox fans are smart enough to adjust.

Sox fans are smarter than this. The Cubs draw a 3 million a year fan base with almost zero surface parking.

Honestly she's kind of lucky the guy didn't come up swinging. You chase someone down like that and then put hands on them, you never know how people are going to react, especially if he feels his kid was threatened.

Sorry, I am here for the jokes.

Hahahaha

For the love of God, no more shitty utility players on 3/4 million dollar contracts blocking kids from playing.

This could absolutely be #8, Ishbia is willing to fund some portion of a stadium.

There are absolutely good owners in that some do what it takes to win. That's not the White Sox. Pointing out one in 45 year occurrences as some sort of "see it can happen!", just let me point to the other 44 and say the same thing.

Which is EXACTLY why 45 years of history weighs more than your feelings about the future . Jerry is still here.

Yet you mentioned none of that, only focusing on what might happen in the future, while completely pretending that the 45 previous years with the same guy running things don't exist. I would say that Those who don't learn from their history are doomed to repeat it is more accurate than calling someone a "caveman" for believing in the past when it comes to Jerry runs teams.

I mean you are gaslighting Sox fans for being pessimistic after 45 years of Jerry Reinsdorf. It's 100% about the owner, especially when he inserts himself into day to day decisions which affects the team on the field.

Yes, Sox fans don't have a 45 year long history to think of, and sure not the present. But the future.... I am sure everything will be perfect.
