That has to be an interesting read know that Holmes JUST got convicted.

There aren't a lot of guys I fear losing out of our system, but he is definitely near the top of the list.

Ramos would go on to be a star in Oakland. I got a feeling the kid is going to have a breakout year. He has gotten some raves and he has put in plus years as one of the very youngest at his levels in the US. The kid isn't turning 20 until what should be the middle of spring training.

He needs to file retirement paperwork to be officially "retired" and he probably can't with the league shut down. That's my guess.

What a fitting end of a dumpster fire of a season.

So more hurt feelings and memes. Got it. Yet, you still waste time and resources on this franchise. Brilliant.

Bravo on presenting 52 of 60 games in the context of a full season.

An exercise here is what would you pay for someone coming off of ... .249BA .303OBP .437SLG .740OPS 100OPS+

The Sox are sitting on back to back playoff births and are the favorites for next year in the AL Central, whenever that actually happens. I feel like this has almost taken on meme vendetta status, but this franchise can only be so much of a bad thing with 2 straight playoff appearances. No matter how you want to reframe the argument, they took what talent they had at the bottom, and turned it into a multiple time playoff team, with another appearance on the runway.

But of course the White Sox are now selling tickets to Spring Training. You can't make this shit up.

This, and pray in silence it goes away, seems to be the stories of his leadership style so far.

Well thank god we silenced Ken Ros... oh.

Haven't had one of these in a while, so why not. Just finished The Perfectionists by Simon Winchester. Started 1619 Project. Listened to the Podcast and picked up the book after Christmas at Barnes and Noble half price hardback sale. Also in queue is Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, Land by Simon Winchester, The Doomsday Book by Marshall Brain, and It's Good to be the King about Mel Brooks.

Last season of Shameless was decent. They found a solid note to end it on while staying true to the show. Also started The Good Place. First season was spectacular, but am in season 2 now, and it has lost something with the big reveal. Another one I don't think I have ever mentioned is Curse of Oak Island. Not quite sure why I still hang on, but have been fascinated by the story forever. I still watch knowing full well they will never find a treasure, but love the history that is found.

There it is. Man up and go directly to the source instead of being a coward.

It is the only thing that made sense as to why Nagy was still here. Hopefully the Bears can pull a Bulls here.

Yeah, it doesn't work that way. Not paying the correct price is what is locking us out of the top free agent market.

Well luckily MLB is more concerned about silencing minimal discent and not actually fixing the game, so I am sure there is plenty to "report" on. Except now they screwed the pooch and are the news. It would have attracted way less attention if they had left him alone.
