Leury not on OD Roster per DVS
Leury's place on the team will depend on how much weight they put into him as a LHH and switch hitting. That was the be all end all for the drunkard.

Sports Media discussion
I have been listening to morning sports radio for some reason and I have to tell you David Haugh checks all of the boxes for the job but is just terrible. It is beyond obvious that he has something against the White Sox and takes being a homer for the cubs to a whole new level. Kaplan is the same way on ESPN but that is well known and Goff offsets it nicely. He wants to see the Bulls make a playoff run this year.....at some point the Bulls conversation starts and ends with Zach Levine makes his team worse and will never be anything. Yet because so many teams in Chicago stink the Bulls shouldn't.

Spring Broadcast Schedule
I stopped paying for CSN after the White Sox season and now won't get it back until opening day. CSN stopped producing any content other than games during COVID and has not come back. I wonder if the cubs accounted for a larger percentage of review then imagined there.

Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
Not all rich people but public figures take a hit when these claims come out. If these claims are unsubstantiated, the public figure takes the hit, in the case of the non-public rich guy, it goes away. Outside of the limelight the punishment rate of DV in middle/low income is probably less than 1%. While it is all domestic violence the non-public instances and public instances are apples and oranges as far as the ramifications to the accused. In this case if files were charged they could be dropped if he paid her off. In rural IL the same situation the charges are dropped because the victim sadly needs the relationship. To be honest here, I have been lucky, I have never had any type of domestic violence in my life and never worked in an environment in which it occurred so I really have no ability to speak honestly on this.

Andrus to the Sox, expected to play 2B, 1 yr, $3 mil
The White Sox got a professional baseball player to play 2B and bat 9th. He doesn't need to be a 3 WAR or hit home runs. He needs to be smart and play solid baseball he will. Close the thread that it is. There is no further discussion.

I'd venture to guess it's the opposite the more in public spotlight you are.

Is her face in any photos? She likes selfies so there should be hundreds of photos.

Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
She went on the radio and stated this stuff, is he not allowed to defend himself? She seems smart enough to know how to create news but yet doesn't have proof of it. She has no camera footage of him stoned or a photo of the chew spit on the child? After the interview I felt that she should have more proof of the allegations. There are no text threads like Bauer or much of anything. These are simple things that would substantiate her claim and he seems dumb enough to provide. These were things I felt the interview should have addressed. Clevinger speaking out is dumb but actually following through is different animal.

After listening to that interview I felt if he was innocent he may have a claim. Howard Stern would walk comments like hers back on his show. They encouraged it in the interview with zero follow up. Hopefully he makes Chicago media uncomfortable.

Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
I felt that she was a good interview but I did not feel that it advanced her case and neither host dug in too much which was expected. It was a lot of air time for little results but I understand why both parties would agree. The more information she provides the less credible she appears to me.
-
Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
I agree with all of that but the crappy part of it is that there isn't enough evidence there and we are stuck with him. That sucks as he will probably make 35 starts and not be affected at all by this and the team will still only win 75 games.
-
Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
Why do you hope he did it? I hope the investigation finds him innocent. I never liked him but he's the guy to which a good chuck of the season is pinned. I agree with your stand if found guilty and never liked the guy to begin with but to hope he did this is an odd approach to me.

Holmes wonders about JR's "desire"...
He is not selling. It would be akin to winning the lottery and taking the single payout losing 75% of the value once he passes it to his kids . Only reason he would sell is if his other business ventures lost money and could offset the tax hit or they needed the cash. He doesn't have business ventures that are losing hundreds of millions of dollars and the budgeting of the Bulls and Sox add whatever excess cash flow is needed .

What if they are "dragging their feet" because the accusations are unfounded?

Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
I will agree with that but the case against him isn't any stronger based on her revelations today. I think if my child had to be tested for parasites due to drinking raw goat's milk I'd have an issue with her upbringing and will have to side with Mike on this. I can also see health insurance denying this procedures and potential coverage. If he is denying adding the child to health insurance that is just stupid as there is no benefit to him for this. Mike also cannot provide her health insurance coverage just because she is the baby's mother....and why he does not need to provide for her chiropractic visits.

Who is buying/renewing tix for 2023?
Partial plan people are the White Sox lifers that are looking to lock in on their games and seats. Price isn't as big an issue. I get them to guarantee Opening day, go to 10-20 games and then there are playoff options.
