Update: 3 (2) fans injured by bullet in Guaranteed Rate field (split from game thread, police investigation underway)
The phrase originated in Chicago in the 1930s. It was popularized by Moran, Capone, and that era. I read an interesting history of the phrase in grad school.

"thugs packing heat" I love Chicago gangsta expressions.

Lol There are people who were shot while being robbed, car jacked, or murdered. I think the resources should go towards solving those crimes before this. But because there are folks wanting to make the Sox look at bad as possible, this keeps coming up.

I thought one theory was the victim accidentally shot themselves which is why they aren't making a big deal about it. They don't need to solve this to do the right thing. Tighter checks at the entrance. Better training. Clear protocols either from the league, the city, or the team. It it was from outside the stadium ban all guns in the city.

Victims don't seem to care. If this happened anywhere else in the city no one cares. Seems like a waste of resources that could be used to solve murders, car theft, rapes, muggings . . . Accidental discharge usually results in a ticket and fine without any other mitigating factors.

Golf/PGA TOUR thread
Long 36 holes day yesterday, back for 18 today. Great field. The defending team champions of three of the Texas six high school divisions are here. Lots of under par rounds. My top two are at 153 and 154 which is about 20th place of 100+ girls. Both can play better. My #1 just win a junior tour event last week. My assistant couldn't attend so I'm doing double duty. Exhausted.

ESPN ranked White Sox season #30 last in MLB with an F ranking.
Currently the executive team is playing rock-paper-scissors to decide who tells JR this is one of those times that the bigger number is bad and lower number is good -- like free agent contacts.

They should be 32nd even without expansion franchises.

2023-24 NFL Season Thread
I wonder what Fields did to deserve this? He gets drafted by most other teams and he's probably a mid level QB by now. But he falls into this QB hell hole of a franchise. I honestly feel bad for some of these athletes.

Bard selects new Sox location
More importantly, by offloading simple thinking tasks that a computer can do, what amazing discoveries will humans find? Humans continue to grow and discover. I don't think having technology that performs tasks for us has slowed that down. In fact it may excellerate advances in all sorts of fields.

I found Bard's ability to quickly analyze a localized issue with a fair amount of accuracy impressive.

Bard selects new Sox location
Google's new AI program Bard (chatGPT competitor) had this to say There are three main contenders for the location of a new Chicago White Sox stadium: The United Center area: This would be a convenient location for fans coming from the suburbs, as it is easily accessible by public transportation and major highways. The area is also already well-developed, with plenty of restaurants and bars that could benefit from the new stadium. Arlington Heights: This is a suburb of Chicago that is home to the Arlington International Racecourse. The White Sox have reportedly been in talks with the Bears about building a new stadium complex together on the Arlington site. This would be a more expensive option than building in the city, but it would give the White Sox more control over the development of the surrounding area. Soldier Field: This is the current home of the Chicago Bears, but the Bears are reportedly considering moving to Arlington Heights. If the Bears do move, Soldier Field could be a viable option for the White Sox. It is a historic stadium with a large capacity, and it is located right on Lake Michigan. However, it would require significant renovations to make it suitable for baseball. Ultimately, the best location for a new White Sox stadium will depend on a number of factors, including cost, transportation, and the surrounding development. Personally, I think the United Center area is the best option. It is a convenient location for fans from all over the Chicago area, and it is already well-developed. It would also be a good way to keep the White Sox within the city limits. However, the final decision will be up to the White Sox and their owners. End quote

Josh Barfield expected to be asst. GM; Brian Bannister and Gene Watson coming as well
If if if if if JR had a clue that Getz could put together decent front office I'll take back some of my negative thoughts about the hire.

Update: 3 (2) fans injured by bullet in Guaranteed Rate field (split from game thread, police investigation underway)
The accidental discharge of a firearm is generally treated as a misdemeanor with a fine. The victims aren't seeking justice. The venue doesn't seem to be pushing for an investigation. With so many unsolved violent crimes I can see this not getting much police time. A fell down a bullet trajectory projections rabbit hole and was fascinated by the science involved. Could a shot be from outside? Theoretically yes. Without a doubt in my mind. Could two land side by side. Too amazing to believe.

Reinsdorf considers moving White Sox out of Guaranteed Rate Field or selling team
Or drop to one team in a market where possible. If you are going to contact why drop a market?
