Jesus. It's almost like an SNL skit. Yikes.

Jeter: "Everyone got too comfortable" This type of 20/20 hindsight realization is getting old. "Guys were around each other, they got relaxed and they let their guard down," Jeter said. "They were getting together in groups. They weren't wearing masks as much as they should have; they weren't social distancing." Jeter said his players were upset by speculation that reckless misbehavior was to blame. "Our guys were not running all around town in Atlanta," he said. "We did have a couple of individuals leave the hotel. We had guys leave to get coffee, to get clothes. A guy left to have dinner at a teammate's house. There were no other guests on site. There was no salacious activity. There was no hanging out at bars, no clubs, no running around Atlanta." By July 26, the outbreak became so serious that the Marlins' season was temporarily suspended, with the team stranded in Philadelphia. The infected players have since returned by bus to South Florida, where they are quarantined. "We have a lot of players who are asymptomatic, and we have players who are showing mild symptoms," Jeter said. www.espn.com

Worse than Hunter BidenGate-Burisma...yet somehow fitting for this admin The relationship between Apollo and the White House runs deep. In 2017, Josh Harris, a founder of Apollo, advised the Trump administration on infrastructure policy and discussed a possible White House job with Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser. That same year, Apollo lent $184 million to Mr. Kushner’s family real estate firm, Kushner Companies, to refinance the mortgage on a Chicago skyscraper. Since the pandemic, Apollo has been lobbying the Trump administration to allow broader access to an emergency Federal Reserve lending program. The government lifeline to YRC was a boon to Apollo, which might have been faced with liquidating its decaying trucking assets if the company was forced to close. Apollo, which is YRC’s biggest creditor, said it was not involved in YRC’s decision to seek the Treasury Department loan and noted that it is one of several lenders invested in the company. However, a spokeswoman acknowledged that it was advised of the government loan and made changes to its own loan terms with YRC to accommodate it.

Interestingly, White Sox barely ahead to make playoffs, but slightly behind CLE to actually win WC. Angels/Blue Jays/Red Sox would be fighting for final, 8th position. Dodgers, Cubs, Braves, Padres Top 4 for the moment in the NL.

What's the CANCEL/LED icon for Millennials?

Benetti. Honestly, would almost prefer Chris Singleton. DJ doesn't have a voice or style for t.v., too, what's the word, laconic. And his sense of humor is almost as off...that said, he was the perfect pairing for Farmer, but they both goofballs together. Masur is a smooth/polished professional, but they just don't have the easy chemistry yet.

Nerve impingement? Just slept wrong on it, like a kink....with pain shooting down into arm? There had to be SOME plausible explanation for a 7-8 MPH falloff in velocity.

He's a lot shorter than his older brother, unless he hits a similar late growth spurt. Last I saw, only 5'11 1/2" compared to 6'3 1/2". In all seriousness, it was like a mulligan for Fernando Tatis, Jr., to let the second son sign with Chicago after the first one got away. It's hard to believe he's equally or perhaps even more talented, because it's almost impossible to find something to criticize him about (maybe his reckless/aggressive defense, reckless/aggressive baserunning and too many strikeouts are the top 3.) I don't think even if Elijah never manages to make it to the big leagues than Hahn would be dumb enough to trade the other brother, well, just in case. Even if he's Jordan to John Danks, comparatively.

1967

We only got 2/13 from the middle of the order, and nothing out of Carlos Rodon...and still won. Despite spotty bullpen performances, Marshall, Foster, Detwiler and Colome were great and Nomar Mazara's back in the line-up. On the negative side, our starting pitching is now officially in shambles with Lopez/Rodon/Kopech all sidelined. Who would have thunk taking Ross Detwiler out of the Neal Cotts 2005 role to start would be the key early decision for the organization?

Well, that was anti-climatic. PHEW. White Sox have now won five freakin' games in a row.

Jesus, don't bring up Avi Garcia in this situation...might be scarier than Yelich.

Matchup of two #1 starters in Giolito and Woodruff tmrw. Hiura was such a great draft choice. Questions about defense/eventual position, but he's just been a hitting machine ever since coming up.

Esteban Loiaza 2003.

Both Hiura and Yelich have never faced Colome in their careers, fwiw.

LoMo is no more. Hiura and Yelich aren't going to be easy, are they?

What's going on? Starting off TOO easily.

Gamel/Morrison/Hiura/Yelich...bottom of the 9th This should only take about 26 minutes or so.

And Bryant has been absolute garbage so far.

47 hits the last 3 games. 26 runs and counting.
