I think it's there only choice. Jim Harbaugh can cry how Michigan has zero positives, other than the fact that they are probably due one or two, if they play another school, the amount of faith you put on that other school for what could be a life or death situation, and even if college age people tend not to die, other complications like the heart thing that is out there now, to risk that for a football game, isn't too bright.

Flores, Zavala, Goins.....

Basabe probably won’t ever amount to much, but losing him for cash considerations was really a poor move. There were other options.

Hopefully, Ricky will come up with a line up that pisses most of the board off. Seems they score a lot of runs when that happens, and not too many when the line up is actually liked.

It’s just going to go away. Believe me. We just have to wait until it gets warmer.

Ozzie hasn’t been on since those comments. Maybe it is coincidence and he had the days off planned, or many he got a double secret suspension. I do think Scotty Pods from the home office is a waste of time. i think Ozzie is probably a pretty good guy, but his Swisher comments show why he is not in any dugout. You give him a platform to say dumb things, he will say dumb things, and it today’s cancel culture, he wouldn’t last 2 months in a dugout. He”s back.

Detwiler is one bad inning away from DFA status on this board. And deservedly so.

I am not a Renteria guy, but all he did was say Bummer said he thought he had a bad cramp in his bicep, when describing what happened, and that he hoped it wasn’t a major issue. What is wrong with that?

He is an opener. This makes a lot of sense especially when teams platoon and you don’t have a starter who can really give you 5 solid innings anyways. This way, you can get them to burn their platoons early. It really makes no difference if he pitches the 1st and 2nd inning vs. the 5th and 6th physically.

We get to hear ARod . He has some weird things going on with his speech. Sometimes it is normal, and sometimes he adds an h on to every word that ends with s. He will say playersh or pitchersh. And then pronounce it like it’s normally pronounced.

If the pitching holds up, this team will be really good. Probably not this year. The are a little short. Giolito, Kuechel, is a good start. Hope Cease and Kopech are close to what we hope. Lopez could go either way, but at the very least, a bullpen piece. Dunning, Steiver, an acquistion as a back end guy. I think the Rodon ship has sailed. They should be really good. But now that you have to send Gio Gonzalez out there every 5th day at this stage of his career, it's not happening this year. Enjoy the development and hope the pitching can stay healthy.

I don’t know why Rongey was considered condescending but Dave Wills and his referring to the same callers Rongey had a problem with as drillrods, was universally loved. I think Rongey got a little cranky when Ginger Zee dumped him.

How long do separated shoulders take to heal?

Still don’t know why they wouldn’t bring someone like Mercedes from Schaumburg even if for only a game. You never know , you might need him tonight.

I would take it as a good sign. I think if Madrigal and EE were obviously out, a line up and roster would be pretty easy to post.

First 6 game winning streak in over 5 years. Don't stop now boys.

Leila Rahimi, Larry Holmes, Sportstalk Live, among casualties at NBC Sports Chicago.

I think Luis Robert , if he stays healthy, will be the greatest player the Sox ever had. He probably develops a better eye, but if he doesn't, he can destroy bad pitches, and doesn't miss many hittable ones. The Big Hurt is a better hitter, and probably always will be, but you take everything else, this guy is unreal.

Does Detwiler have to face 3 here?

With a 30 man roster, there is no excuse leaving him out there to face left handed hitters.

RR manager of the year.

I really hate loading the bases with a guy like Fry on the mound. It’s a ballsy move to get to Yellish, but not one I would make.

I am on Jace Fry’s former fiancé’s team.

He’s a jackass. But there have been plenty of jackasses we have rotted for.

Ding, ding.
