  1. It would be really nice if ReyLo could get into a groove of NOT going 3-2 on every hitter and save the pen somewhat for tonight.,
  2. Holy crap. We had a fridge and washer installed by them, and they were excellent. I had more problems with the items themselves (will never buy a Samsung appliance again, but love their phones) than anything.
  3. I am so old I remember when the Sox couldn't draft and develop position players.
  4. Laugh, but it isn't like his going to go six innings here. He might get 50 pitches.
  5. It might not even seem like it at the time, but funny how things seem to work out in the long run.
  6. In 2008 I was at the black out game, having gotten tickets from my boss at a dead end job, that I didn't know was a dead end job, until they put me out on the street six months later. After that I ended up switching fields within my industry, and am now eight years into a small niche group that I head up a mission critical operation for.
  7. It is a staple of The Region. An absolute favorite of mine
  8. Yes, because a Sox win is coupled with a Cleveland loss, so each game this series is worth 2 to the magic number.
  9. It would be nice if they would put the damned things on sale!
  10. White Sox playoff teams, and why 2000 is the only year that matters.
  11. The key here is all numbers and odds. People who have the vaccine don't build viral load to the same extent that people who don't have the vaccine. This vaccine was also tailored to the original vaccine strains, and now we have mutations running around which were NOT tested on this vaccine. Preliminary reports seem to indicate that the vaccine is effective, but not as effective against strains like Delta. So if you are looking at it in terms of odds and chances, your chances at catching COVID are highest if you don't have the vaccine, and in areas which are seeing high level outbreaks. They are much lower if you vaccinate. They are lowest if you aren't around people who have covid. The key to beating covid is to give it as few chances as possible to replicate and mutate. The vaccine does this really, really well is what the preliminary results are showing. Break through cases exist, but aren't as common as unvaccinated cases. Vaccinated cases are also less likely to pass the virus on. They are also much less likely to take up highly needed health resources. None of this is 100%, but every time we push people into the lowest rungs of risk, it makes it harder for COVID to spread.
  12. And there was no team hotter than the 1983 White Sox that bombed out in the first round.
