I hit yes, but meant no. Wait until next year.

We have an administration that instead of saying do what's best for the country and your community, wear a mask, rather stuck on the side of the "right" not to wear a mask and wanted to "liberate" states that locked down for the good of its citizens.

I think the problem was no one was willing to consider worst cast scenerio. And we have worst case scenerio. First we were told this isn't going to bother us at all. Then it was going away quickly. Then it was going away when the weather warmed up. Then it would be fine by Easter, then Pence said by Memorial Day, the Coronavirus will be behind us. I have been working from home since the middle of March. At first I figured 2 or 3 weeks tops and we would be back. Then our CEO send an email saying it looked like June or July until we were all back in the office. Now they said October, staggered and optional. I think many of us anticipated a governmental failure, but not of this magnitude. Our response has been one of the worst in the world. And we still have enough people who think if we just deny it exists or isn't a danger, it will go away.

I don't understand why it is not better, it seems to be messed up everywhere, but have you thought of using one of the homeschooling companies? It can be a bit pricey, but at least there would be learning, and accountability.

White Sox Appear Headed to ESPN 1000 Next Year
Dick Allen replied to chetkincaid's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Probably better off for the team, but these days, radio is so insignificant. The Sox don't make much if anything from it. -
If it is, it already cost a run.

Daniel Robertson just got DFA'd by Tampa. He has to be better than Cuthbert or Goins.
-
Gio Gonzalez especially when the beard isn’t thick, looks a lot like Ray Romano.

So we were told today that our company is going to try to re open our office on October 1. The plan is to have half the employees come in for a week, and the other half the next. As sick of working from home as I am, I think I will probably opt out for at least another month or two.

If you really think Mendick is as good or better than Madrigal, look at the bright side, you obviously feel 2B is solved, and with a better player than the Sox were hoping manned it for the next 10 years. Some on this board are crazy and putting way too much is extremely small sample sizes. It would be about April 15th, if that, had the season started on time.

Ozzie isn't very good on the Pre/Post-Game
Dick Allen replied to Look at Ray Ray Run's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I doubt it. It's probably a combination of bright lights and make up. -
Plesac and Clevinger Gone; For how Long?
Dick Allen replied to Look at Ray Ray Run's topic in Pale Hose Talk
At least enough for Plesac to kiss his super 2 status goodbye. Apparently some on the Tribe's roster said they would opt out if nothing was done about these two. And Lindor was supposedly very outspoken within the team meeting, although he opting out was not on the table. -
And he's already made it through waivers before, they can be pretty sure he will make it again if they want to keep him around.
-
If someone isn't hurt or sick, or didn't pull a Plesac, I would think it would be Cuthbert going or a reliever. Cuthbert was probably up because they didn't know how Moncada's legs would respond, and he looks OK.

Sometimes I wonder if Stone is tiring of Benetti. The age difference, maybe Jason's constant joking is starting to bother him. When he mentions his friends on the telecast, it's usually guys a lot older than him, and he's in his 70s. I know they live in the same building, and I guess used to eat every meal together, but apparently that stopped a while ago. Maybe Steve is just saying, "F it, I am going vintage Harry Caray and calling it like I see it, and if I have to move on, so be it. " What is interesting, is he is using a lot more of Hawk's views regarding hitting than ever before.

I doubt it, wasn't there a runner on 3rd? I don't have a problem with sending a runner. MLB has become more like Little League in recent years, they hardly ever throw to 2nd with a runner on 3rd. It's almost automatic you steal it.

Nice comeback after a real bad Saturday.
-
He does like to be snarky, so I am sure if he doesn’t want to admit he isn’t a fan of Renterias managing, and he has questioned bunts especially many times, he can always fall back on the question was too stupid to answer. The White Sox don’t believe in spending money on managers, so when he is replaced, it won’t be by a big name.

Sox just lost most embarrasing DH in 120 years of MLB
Dick Allen replied to Buehrle>Wood's topic in Pale Hose Talk
It was a bad day but young teams tend to look really bad at times. Give it a few days and they probably get hot again, It would be nice if the offense was a bit more consistent but the Sox have a ton of hackers. Their 2 guys who do usually work counts the best are struggling in Grandal and EE. That will change, and maybe the young guys will pick up on their approach. It is really hard to come to conclusions now, and probably not after 60 games if they make it that far. If last season was the 60 game pandemic season, Nelson Cruz could probably have been had in the offseason on a minor league comtract. All that said, it would be nice if this offense became dynamic and was able to sustain it for more than a couple games at a time. -

The players like Renteria. That is a big part of the job, but he really doesn’t have much feel for the bullpen, probably the biggest part of managing. This goes back to his days with the Cubs. He isn’t the guy who is going to lead a team that is not totally stacked to a title. -

Is Todd Steverson available? -

The 3 guys in front of him today had no hits. -
I‘M pretty sure if the White Sox had moved, another team would have moved to Chicago eventually. Maybe Oakland or Minnesota.

2019-2020 Official NBA Thread
Dick Allen replied to Bananarchy's topic in Alex’s Olde Tyme Sports Pub
Looks like the Bulls are finally moving into the modern NBA. -
CNN has had some mess ups, but I get a kick out of CNN being considered "fake news" by followers of someone who deceives you every day.
