Rooting against the Sox
I get that way when JR makes a threat. My thought is then move you asshole. But someone pointed out that as an out of town fan that's really unfair. Which I think is fair. I do miss my ignorant fan days when I'd just go to game after game not knowing how horrible the franchise really was.

Rooting against the Sox
I'm cheering for records. I was an active fan for the best team of my generation and damnit, I'm going to be an active fan for the worst team. Psychological it's awesome when you are pulling, cheering, praying, hoping, wishing, for your team to do something and they do!!!! Does it really matter if it's a win or loss? I think we should have a Statue of Liberty night. With silent lips. "Give me your injured, your losers, Your washed up masses yearning for a check, The wretched refuse of other teams. Send these, the felons, tempest-tost to me, I lift my scorecard beside the locker door!"

Clevinger to IL, Woodford coming up, Peralta DFA Part II
It's kind of ironic that we're mentioning another Sox pitcher, Tommy John, in this conversation. Tommy was a good and decent family man. A borderline HoF pitcher and someone any Sox fan would want to introduce their kids to.

Analysis of uptick in pitching/UCL injuries
I have had many conversations with the high school coach here as I tried to understand all of the rules designed to speed up play (pitch runner for the catcher) and protect players (pitch counts,) etc. I was lost within a couple seconds. He is a former pro pitcher and a student of the game. What he said made sense to me. Like all muscles, those used to throw need to be stressed, then recovered, to grow. That number is different for each player. So the number seems to not stress too much many on his staff. They could throw more. But a few kids are maxed with the max.

That's going to be a PR nightmare but it seems like the right thing to do.

Angel Hernandez retiring
He was always in the bottom 20% but never last from all of the reports I read. He was consistently bad and never got better. It seems like he just had a longer career the folks each year ranked lower improved or moved on.

A quote that really stood out in a story about another Chicago sports franchise...
What a memory. I loved this line Meanwhile, St. Louis Cardinals players and coaches were sympathetic to the Marlins' situation, agreeing to take some extra batting practice. However, manager Tony LaRussa said that because the team's plane was scheduled to leave at 7, they could only wait for Steve for another hour, tops.

When I first had Bulls tickets they did a meet and greet and kissed my sss. Then they hosted an all star game, drafted a guard, built a new stadium, and screwed me over.

Maybe Montgomery isn't going to make it.
Especially if you're not a AAA or MLB level player.

Latest fan sign...
Bought a ticket. I'm certain JR wouldn't mind 20,000 fans paid each night with signs to sell the team.

Julks recalled, Mendick back, Ramos to DL, Shewmake to Charlotte
How about a roulette wheel in the clubhouse? Put their numbers in a bingo game?

Sox Quote of the Day 5/23...
For the sake of the discussion let's say you are the unluckiest player this year. Earlier you were the luckiest player in the league with the contract you signed. I believe statistically you've regressed to the mean. But maybe, some crazy GM will read that, think your luck is about the change, and we can part as friends.

ILoy watch
That was just a team friendly finance deal. Wouldn't you rather pay Iloy $500k a year for the next 26 years over $13 mil this year?

White Sox To Add Nick Nastrini To Rotation
Looking at this lineup I realize I don't need a second MLB team to cheer. I'm going all in on the San Antonio Missions. Their AA lineup can't be much worse.

NFL San Antonio Chiefs? Blackmail
Once again my hometown is a pawn used by a NFL owner to blackmail a city into a new stadium. If my memory is correct here are the other times SA was used Saints after Hurricane Katrina Raiders before Vegas Vikings when SA businessman owned the team. Cardinals before Phoenix We do have a 60,000+ seat arena ready to go. Voters would pass a publicly funded football stadium. They would sell out a lot. The Spurs are well backed.
