Meanwhile, Trump's plan to extend special federal unemployment benefits, albeit at a lower level, rests on states finding more money for laid-off workers and is sure to be undercut by the busted budgets of governors who have seen treasuries cleaned out by the fight against the coronavirus. "Well, if they don't, they don't," Trump said on Saturday about governors agreeing to his plan. "That's up to them. But if they don't, they don't. That's going to be their problem. I don't think their people will be too happy. They have the money." These and other deficiencies of the executive actions mean that two goals -- getting money quickly to struggling Americans and stimulating the economy -- are unlikely to be improved much by his attempted show of force. By Sunday evening, after a day of negative reaction from the states, the President appeared to be rowing back his demands for governors to contribute 25% of extended unemployment benefits. He only succeeded in adding more confusion. "We have a system where we can do 100% or we can do 75%, they pay 25, and it will depend on the state," Trump told reporters before returning to the White House from his resort in New Jersey. "And they will make a application. We will look at it, and we'll make a decision." https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/10/politics/trump-executive-action-unemployment/index.html

Still 7th in AL despite some terribly frustrating managerial decisions. 7. WHITE SOX 70.9% 8. Red Sox 41.8% 9. Tigers 33.2% 10. Angels 27.3% 11. Rangers 25.8% 12. Blue Jays 24.0% Makes the match-ups with DET (and likely no Cardinals) over the next ten days even MORE significant.

Roger Bo-Zard the Wizard better go on the Bozo Show on WGN and reverse the jinx...unfortunately, seems that guy has passed away, like the White Sox playoff chances. J/K. It's actually kind of fun to be getting upset and having a passionate feeling one way or another for White Sox games again. It has been since late 2012 and May 2016 for most of us. But still a huge gut punch. Giolito should have gotten a well-earned victory...

When Grandal was patient, and the game was on the line, he got screwed. Would have been such a huge lift to win this game, but we're the anti-Cubs right now...seemingly. And the Indians finally had a rain delay work out in their favor, albeit with FAR less at stake. Where's our RAJAI Davis when you need him?

They don't feel very confident about Collins, lol?

I'll just pretend Luis Robert drove that ball threw and rain and over the fence. That makes it easier to deal with, somewhat. But not much. Have to rebound quickly in DET against a suddenly revitalized team starting to believe in itself, and with more minor league talent than the White Sox.

More like Judas Iscariot with that strike call to Grandal and some "wink wink" decisions that helped out the Indians in the last 2-3 innings.

How could he forget after doing so much better last season as a RHB?

That was so not worth waiting 44 minutes for... BRUTAL. LEURY, freaking take at least one pitch after sitting there on the bench for almost an hour. Alomar was smart to bring in a crafty LHP and turn Moncada around. Indians are just a smarter organization, top to bottom. We might be more talented, but it's all about results at the big league level. At this point, the time for development has come and gone (except for rookies, obviously.)

Nobody I know who watched the story didn’t know that going in...since it's an actual real life story. How could you possibly change that? It would be JFK by Oliver Stone where grassy knoll snipers are taken out by the USSS. Well, 12/22/63 is that alternative version by Stephen King I guess,

You should watch the one Simon did on YONKERS, NY mayor who was youngest in American history, later took his own life, with Jason Isaac, really good stuff.

Speaking of Brad Hand, I'm going to send Tyrion Lannister the Hand if A-Rod makes one more annoying comment...

Two different years. Wells was gone after 2001, the year Frank got hurt and Canseco took his place. Ritchie trade for Fogg/Lowe/Wells was after.

Too expensive in this day of crunched municipal budgets....unless you get private funding. Maybe works for 10-12 teams IN MLB. Plus, they're an eyesore, IMO. Look like giant aircraft hangers. Rangers' new stadium looks like the Chernobyl sarcophagus they built over the nuclear core. UGLY.

Says expect occasional thunderstorms to end at 10:00 p.m. at TWC.com

Except none of those games actually mattered to the White Sox...unlike now.

QUICK, who's going to give the patented Jason Heyward Pep Talk in the clubhouse?

Roger BO-ZARD, LOL.

Well, at least we played the Indians more competitively than anyone expected...and had Bieber beaten.

Well, we've got two shots to tie it up. Leury, let's make sure to at least not hit into a DP so Yoan can get an opportunity.

Feel a WP or Passed Ball coming here soon...

$500 million contract? So NOT the White Sox...

WOW. That'll work. PR?

RAIN DELAY COMING. That would have been more LEGEND OF LUIS ROBERT if that cut threw the raindrops.

And he's a LOT more difficult to double up as a runner...and can tag on a fly ball as well.
