  1. The White Sox had 2 total walks in the double header and they continue to get themselves out. Until that changes, I don't know. How does Eloy or Grandal not PH yesterday. I believe I saw that Nomar is in Schaumburg, why, work it out in Cleveland.
  2. Robert surrounded by Nicky and Leury...way to protect the rookie
  3. Nicky Delmonico and Leury Garica should be nowhere near a starting lineup and
  4. had ball four handed to him.....white sox baseball...afraid to take anythign given to them
  5. Sox may want to think about an opener when Cease is due to pitch but this organization is just stuck in a rut.
  6. This is where he money squabbling in the end kills this plan. Should have built a 60 game season from July 1st with bunches of days or even a week off here and there and then left a week or two off at the end of the season to make up games. It is not a normal season but here we are pretending the switch would be flipped. Lord the minds in baseball are idiots.
  7. Why can't MLB do the immediate testing daily?
  8. Vinnie Duber on the SCORE this morning said that the White Sox were pretty happy with what they saw and feel live action is what he needs right now. I think he is doing this over the taxi squad which seems like better fit. This isn't a men's beer league.
  9. They can because they don't need the revenue or the enrollment. It is easy for them to do.
  10. He was really open about his mental health at Soxfest. This situation is very concerning on a few levels with COVID being well down on the list.
  11. The Athletic had a good article about guys working out in Florida over the pandemic. There are a good number of guys that want to play because it is what they want to do. A major league career is not that long and to just give up a season is not something you do lightly especially if you are in your prime. I get Price and Zimmerman etc. but even Eloy giving up 60 games is not something he will do rather easily. If you make $600K a year, $200K is a lot. Especially if you are spending like you make $600K a year. The positive cases thus far have not come from opening the baseball season.
  12. I disagree with you on the "mascot" approach. I like when a team uses the tribe name because in a way it honors their heritage and really is the only time you would hear of these tribes. The racist mascots of chief Wahoo, the tomahawk chop and Redskins need to all go away maybe even the FSU depiction. Then you get to the Blackhawk logo.....seems to fall in line with U of I war dance and FSU representation.......leave the tribe name but change the depiction.
  13. What Illinois did better was remain locked down and opened gradually and in Chicago area mask wearing indoors is virtually 100%. Illinois was hammered early and is now in managing well while there are other states that have now exploded. Those are the states now that have set us back and that is 100% on the federal government. The warmer climates are now moving indoors while in Illinois people are more outdoors.....well until the excessive heat is now hitting us hard. It is the indoor groups that are causing this boom.
  14. If he was smart, this would be season ending.
  15. This kind of reeks of the SCORE trying to sling some mud at the White Sox. No other reason. He was suspended what's the point of it now? Why is Cody Decker given a soap box?
  16. The playoffs are always bullshit. The regular season champion should be the champion on an evenly based schedule. If you want to do AL v NL that is fine but the best team in the regular season is the best team case closed. Not some team that gets hot/lucky for the playoffs. Only sport that I think needs playoffs is football. College basketball conference tournaments drive me nuts.
  17. I went to Michigan last weekend and live in Chicago southland. I think the message is pretty clear be outside and socially distant and if inside wear a mask. SW Michigan masks seemed to be the exception in Illinois it seems to be a rarity to see a person without a mask in a somewhat confined space. The IL numbers to me are acceptable if this is life. The part of this disease that gave me the most angst was the surface transmission and the clarity on that has eased some angst (i.e. cleaning every product I bought from the grocery story for a family of 5). I can keep my space from anyone anywhere as I never like to be close to people, kind of an OCD thing. The White House simply needs to push the narrative that wearing a mask is a much better option than not wearing a mask simple as that. I have lost all respect for a person on social media who is now acting like CO2 poisoning will be what kills us all....yes the medical professions who wear masks have not researched the affects of mask wearing but Karen from Hinsdale has figured out the risk....SMH. I want to defriend her but it is now a study in how long she will hold onto that anchor. If the White House comes out and now states that we should wear masks, is Trump done for in Nov?
  18. Starting to think Illinois and Chicago are not too bad to be right now. Oh and wear your mask!
  19. Id pay $200 to sit in the upper corner with a facemask in 30 degree weather in the rain to watch my White Sox.
  20. Tanking teams will be selling anything and everything especially if there is a salary attached. You could see a ton of trades early as the GM's have had months to do nothing but time to dream up trades.
  21. This is exciting because there is really nothing else to do.
  22. Social media continues to prove to me that a greater majority of the population are pretty much idiots than I would have hoped. What is the government going to do with the information that I went to visit my father yesterday, am at work and may stop at the grocery store this afternoon. Hell I tell my car insurance company my every move in an attempt to save a few hundred bucks. If you don't want to be traced use a burner phone when conducting those activities. Wearing a mask does not cure or prevent COVID but it does reduce the chances of getting it. I would think that concept is an easy one. A friend of mine is begging people to come back to work and they refuse, not because of COVID but because of the government paying people to remain unemployed. I am really starting to fear for this world.
  23. I find the whole not wearing a mask thing rather amazing to me.
