I was just at the opening of the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library. Borrow ideas from that experience. Not much static stuff to look at. Make it interactive, how stuff for people to do and learn.

One of my favorite ball park moments. I was in the first row in Milwaukee behind the Sox dugout for a game. Ozzie is smashing the ball that day, but everything is getting caught. His final at bat he is robbed of extra bases by a diving catch. As he's reaching the dugout he pulls off his helmet and sends it flying into the dugout and screams "f*** this mother fucking game" . I say "his English is really getting better." He pokes his head out of the dugout, sees my cap and gives a big smile.

Too soon.

I think it's time for a Ja Rule Demolition Night.

While I love the surprise of how well this team is playing, this isn't a give up prospects kind of season. After decades of watching horrible overpaying and head scratching trades, this seemed more restrained, and forward looking. I appreciate the willingness to take on a bad contract over giving away prospects. They showed a willingness to really dive in and be active. I think it's a positive sign of the direction the franchise is moving. I don't believe there was a realistic blockbuster trade, and again, I wouldn't give up 2028 for 2026. Process - A Immediate Impact - B Future upside - A if Castillo rebounds into a solid #2

Don't underestimate Sox fans. I actually like this one.

Good luck with the rehab.

The last time the Sox and Cubs combined for this many wins on August 1st was 2008, which was one of only two times that they both made the playoffs. Now you know . . .

This is really fucking up our draft position.

Blind enthusiasm here. I change of standings, scenery, and a coaching staff that seems to be making all the right moves with players, makes me think this too will work out.

The past few years by now the Bears are usually dominating my attention. I didn't even notice they started.

We just need to reopen the filibuster to bank clicks. There is that balance of "you're our guy, and we have confidence in you, so we will keep penciling you on that spot until you break out" and "you're our guy and we need you to be productive. We're going to help you out by dropping you down in the order until you get back on track" We might not be the time to drop you down to Clean Up 2, but it's getting close.

This seems like what Yankee or Dodgers fans expect after decades of stuff always working out in their favor. I like it.

Doesn't that guarantee a choke?

I wanted to like the paying the bet then as I was about to click like I saw the not around in eight years and thought well I'll be an asshole if I click like. I respect the honorable settling of the bet.

It's been a long time since I glanced at my phone, saw a score, and really smiled.

They are ahead of any reasonable rebuild schedule. Enjoy being ahead. Digging a hole to fill a deeper hole just leaves two holes.

Those are fans of far out

He's not cooked like most of the players the previous few years.

So happy to be tracking a different number.

Remember the days when we wanted TA on a really long term contract?

Then God sent COVID in punishment.

You can't lose them all, god knows we tried. Do we want to bump the thread where Greg loved JR for hiring Getz and thought it was a brilliant move and the rest of us thought JR was an idiot?

And Getz could win Executive of the Year, something his previous two bosses didn't receive.
