I think you misspelled Tony.

Unless a few key guys have some big bouncebacks in the 2nd half, you almost have to.

I have a mix of bitcoin, etherium, shiba inu, and Ren right now. Etherium is probably the one I believe in most as it has the most practical applications going forward. Bitcoin has a real scarcity thing going for it.

You can be mad about it, but Jose 100% has that stature with this franchise.
-
This stuff is insanely volatile. We are down somewhere between 70-90% on the main ones from the highs. Find something that interests you and that you aren't counting on a return from quickly. Now is as good of a time as any. Sure you might see some downside still in the shorter term, but once it breaks out, you will wish you bought at these levels.

Unless Jose Abreu asks to leave, Jose Abreu is NOT getting traded.

Alternate/ive Realities ("Safety Not Guaranteed")

You can call it luck, but I would call it unlucky to have a half assed manager holding this team back. -
Since the day this thread was posted Abreu is 327/.443./574/1.017 6 homers, 19 walks, and only 17 Ks

I do think Burgers bat has a much better chance at playing in the majors than Yermin ever did. Sadly, Burger also can play a miniscule amout of defense, which also puts him ahead of him. The final thing is Jake actually seems to be a really tough guy and pretty good teammate. -
From the dude still trying to execute take downs on Andrew Vaughn.

Would you join a "Fire Tony" chant during a White Sox game?

And That's a White Sox Winner !!!!

How.Dare.You. -
They aren't chanting against their team. They are chanting against the moron sabatoging it. Knowing what you do for a living, you know the difference as well. But please, keep up the act.
-
Sox with 6 or more runs in the last 5 games.
-
So the fans chanted it are classless, but they are smart fans, meaning apparently you aren't a smart fan because you don't like what most Sox fans are feeling... by your own definition of course.
-
You calling Sox fans classless isn't my opinion. It's a fact. It means you were lying when you called them classless or smart. Which one was it?

It's all about supply. Gasoline is one of the least elastic commodities out there. It takes a very small change in supply to have large ripples in the end market place. Two things are absolutely killing supply right now. #1 is the supply we lost during COVID. Because the US commodities markets were never properly prepared for the inevitable lockdowns, the oil companies kept pumping supply completely unaware of what was coming. With an intelligent use of the War Powers Act to control the supplies, they could have slowed drilling to levels which would have prevented the massive supply glut which cause the negative oil prices in 2020. While some gleefully point to those prices as a good thing to be celebrated, what they did do was to bankrupt a very large portion of the oil patch in the United States. Supply STILL hasn't fully recovered from these bankruptcies as many banks refuse to lend capital to uncap those wells as they don't want to be hung out to dry again for bad loans in future bankruptcies. Go look at rig counts and supplies. They bottom out in May 2020, and have slowly and continually recovered since, but are still not near capacity they saw pre-COVID. #2, like it or not, the Russian embargos are a real problem. Once you get out of the OPEC and US cartels, Russia is one of the worlds largest supplies of oil and gas. When you start taking their supply out of the equation, you again hit a real wall of the supply chain. You may not like Biden, but he is right that Russia's actions have had a dramatic impact on gas prices world wide. This isn't just a US phenomenon. Look at prices all over the world and they are all at record highs. Throw in the bonus of COVID wiping out a significant swatch of workers, as well as all of the other supply chain problems around the world which have ripple effects into oil and gas exploration and drilling, these aren't things that are going away. Also add in the extra cost of summer blend gas we are seeing, and you have a perfect storm of record pricing.

Think of it more as a trick to give players a MUCH bigger bonus. In the US they would lose something like 35 to 40% of their bonus for a tax check that big. In the Domincan they don't tax it due to a quirk in their tax laws. Think of it as if two teams offer you a $500k bonus, if you play in the DSL you get to keep $500k. If you play in AZ, you get to keep $300k. Which bonus do you take?

Lynn returns, Grandal to the 10 day IL, Burr waived

Not really. If nothing else was going on they could have DFA'd him. They are flat out releasing him. Teams don't do that for no reason. -
Nor the last.
