The progress the system has made this year has been huge. My hope is really that the reason we were dead at the break is because the franchise believes these guys are the real thing and they weren't willing to sell them short for short term gain.

And the whole reason she takes him down is because Jimmy taught her how to use her laptop. That was a stroke of genius.

Then don't go. Problem solved.

Tim Anderson has played 374 games in the last 4 seasons, including the COVID season of 2020 and 46 games yet to be played in 2022. Eloy has played 274 over that time. Tim has had his injuries, but nothing like some of these other guys.

Bottom line: If expecting a team that was supposed to be a clear playoff team for the third year in a row to be better than 3rd place and struggle to stay over .500 makes me a hater, well call me King of the Haters. Yes, I have minimal expectations of this team, and this hasn't been it through 116 games.

Whitaker is great as the main character, but Vince D'nofrio and Giancarlo Esposito are spectacular.

It means he is trolling you. Again.

lol, yeah, don't know where that got in my head from ,but this is it... Godfather of Harlem. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8080122/

He quotes stats of all kinds. The problem has been most of our stats this year have been depressing. That isn't his fault.

Not an awful price for this. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/charities/support/lunch-with-the-sox?partnerId=zh-20220816-676545-CWS-1-A&qid&utm_id=zh-20220816-676545-CWS-1-A&utm_source=cws_community_email&utm_medium=email&bt_ee=yWjNgGgx%2B49aLG7By51J992rNhyHwDwZXb4DsB2C4YOy2Dd0Wq4b9Xw8DdBxh2Bu&bt_ts=1660663871153

It's one thing to be happy. It is another thing to use it as an opportunity to crap on the people who aren't happy about having a mediocre team when this should be a clear playoff team.

These two posts being right next to each other is spectacular. Forget the fact that the Sox are still in 3rd place to two garbage teams in Cleveland and Minnesota. Forget the fact they are still sixth in the wild card standings. Forget the fact they are 4 games over .500 for the second time all season not being any sort of achievement for a team that was supposed to be in the playoffs for the 3rd straight year. Somehow this is enough to declare victory over. It must be really nice to so easily satisfied. Hooray the Sox aren't even close to achieving what they should have been doing this season!

I am struggling with the finale. I hated Jimmy for giving up the 7 years. I have a hard time believing he would do that and am struggling to think of a time he did something similar in either show. I did like the finale overall, as his character just seems to have a charisma that resonates with the slimier elements of the world, and it was fitting that he gets to prison and everyone loves him. I was also glad that they didn't give Jimmy some happy ending arc that just didn't make sense. After all the theme of his entire character is that he can't help himself. He always thought he was smarter than everyone else, and could out think the world. Eventually he was going to make the mistake that took him down, and it was fitting that it was a mistake of impulse (with forcing the break in on the cancer patient), and not a mistake in planning where he was always two steps ahead. As to past this, I have said it before, but Giancarlo Esposito is a great character in a show called Godfather of Harlem. The show is spectacular, and no one talks about it. Incredible cast, great writing, and worth a watch.

TLR career OPS .542

Of course if he got a couple of DUIs he could be running the place.

And a reaction from Tony

Based on the moves we have made so far, that sure rings true. Maybe this is a way of edging him out of the day to day at least.

Honestly with his previous record, his being assigned is worse.

2 billion dollars, and you can do exactly that.

Supposedly the real prizes are the oldest and the youngest of the Tatis boys. If signing this one leads us to have an in with the youngest one, its cool. Call is a 500k bribe or whatever.

Look this team hasn't shown any pride or ego this year and it has shown. If it takes beating Detroit to get them thinking big again, it doesn't matter.
