I really hope those guys dislike going into the office as much as I've disliked the results this season.

If Ohtani has an overweight, nearsighted, nephew, we'll sign the kid before Ohtani. He'll sign with us in 2030 after a major injury.

This is a well crafted third place roster. Basically everything you can expect from a middle of the pack club with a weak farm system and thirst for profits. Can we all pick a playoff contender as our second team and start a new sub forum?

Good for him!

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/07/21/bo-jackson-donated-170000-to-pay-for-funerals-of-uvalde-victims/amp/ Chicago has been blessed with a lot of superstars who are also just great human beings.

Left last century . . . My first few meals when in town. Deep Dish from Lou's - sausage and mushroom Portillo's hotdog, run in through the garden and don't let it come close to a ketchup container. Sammy's beef with extra giardiniera Bill's thin crust sausage, mushroom, onion, green pepper. Leftovers for breakfast, cold. I may be the only person in Texas history to eat healthier once they moved TO Texas.

Everyone is formally organized within the NCAA. I'm thinking along the lines of almost a mutiny.

Could it be that folks understand there is a problem and prefer a solution that isn't such a gamble?

To be correct, projected by some to return after a major injury as an elite hitter. Let's keep taking chances, eventually they will pan out.

Could we reach a point where the majority of the top 40 to 50 universities are aligned under one conference structure and they basically create their own rules to maximize revenue and freeze out lesser schools?

What's the end game? Once there are more teams than available dates it's what? Do we have the top twenty teams in one conference, the next twenty in another?

He didn't even lose sleep over it.

Football also tricks up extra time instead of playing a fifteen minute overtime. I'm thinking what has changed that they would want to screw with this? I come up with two reasons, one even more aggravating than the other. One. When we pitchers could be expected to go seven or eight innings extra innings weren't that big of a deal. Now five or six and guys are out of gas. Two. TV pays the bills and has some pull.

I think it's more in response to pitchers and players than fans. With starters basically becoming long relief pitchers, extra inning games chew staffs quickly. I'd be mildly surprised if this was too appease fans.

I'm conflicted. A big part of me wants to place most of the blame on grown men who have been playing baseball forever and only a little blame on any manager (taking my personal dislike for Tony out of it). But my favorite job description of coaching is getting players to do the things they don't want to do so they can become the players they want to be. That's on the staff and manager. So in the end they all suck.

If rather see the White Sox version of this

Achy is the word of the season.

By the end of the season one of these teams will reign supreme as the most disappointing team in Chicago baseball history. Fast, hard, crash or a season long debacle?

You can't get swept until you lose the first two. Tony saw his shadow and we have six more weeks of losing until a meaningless run that leaves us just out of a playoff spot.

You can't lose them all unless you lose the first one. How many tough losses until Tony re-re-retires?

Retire Tony.

No matter where I am The city and The lake always means Chicago and Lake Michigan. Ravenswood Hospital on the north side was where I made my debut. Lived on Maplewood Ave until dreams took my family to the burbs.

I want them all gone. I'm not convinced Katz is really all that great either.

It's a point we discuss regularly. It is subjective. The Filibuster was shut down in a big part not because of the arguments there, but how they spilled over into all the other areas. Posters would be at odds over a Filibuster thread, then start arguing about a baseball topic. It kind of polluted everything. It's usually the arguing, not the subject, that gets threads shut down. We expect baseball arguing, we try to avoid arguing in other areas. The Highland Park event was on everyone's mind. Randomly posting articles about being afraid, or how bad the city is, becomes trolling.
