Bears have everything on offense but a Top 5-6 running back. Defense still has a long ways to go...but Johnson and Gordon out doesn't help much. Sharpe needs to be replaced obviously.

Lamb being out is 50% of it. Ferguson is just getting small chunks of yardage...

Obviously it depends on the valuation purchased in at...as well as what time frame/s you're looking at. It's a lot closer than most would think in terms of ROI.

Return of that money in the Vanguard 500 Index?

Burden and Loveland showed up today. More optimistic about Bears than Sox. So much of Williams' success predicated on self-confidence.

Don't copy Schiff and call him More-john lol. Not that hard. He's one of the better LHR's in baseball.

Steve...it's More-ay-hon.

One of the better catches of the year...especially considering all his nagging injuries.

Walks killing the White Sox. Reds/Francona closing in on just one game behind the Mets. Guardians will also be tied with the Astros if current scores hold up. Gotta feel bad for Gomez.

Looking like it might be just a one game lead if CLE can sweep DH against Minnesota... 5 consecutive losses by Tigers. Boos raining down in Detroit. Benetti lucky to be doing NCAAF instead. Braves on a run of their of their own...albeit way too late.

Aka the Buehrle treatment...

July 6th Detroit 57-34 Cleveland Guardians 40-48 15 1/2 GB 13 games now made up in the standings Tigers had just swept a three game series AT Cleveland. CLE pythagorean 74-79 8 game difference 600 rs 619 ra DET finishes at Cleve, @ Boston Cleveland has Detroit/Texas @ home to finish Boston @ TBR @ Tor then home for Detroit

An .800 ops in the minors is the new standard of excellence. Montgomery has had his peaks and valleys, but has been close to predicted, which is a minor miracle with Sox prospects historically.

Going too fast after he hesitated and then had to go into a full sprint/dive...

SD has been pretty bad the last month....treading water and now 6-7 games under high water mark. Cease Darvish King (coming off injury and shaky now) isn't a winning playoff rotation. They've lost their second best bullpen guy and Bogaerts as well.

Ran themselves out of the inning...cue the April 23rd swing change/hand position mention. Is the dugout actually...barking? Oh great more Getz-Speak...

Late 80s/early 90s he and Wayne Hagin on 670 WMAQ were the only way to access the White Sox consistently from Iowa...especially night games. Hagin left for the Mets (like Torborg) and I think he's still broadcasting with the Angels. Back then, you could listen to Erie Harwell, Eucker in MIL and Buck/Shannon in St. Louis.

Vasil sporting the Air Jordans...

Welcome to promotions for halfway to St Patrick's Day and the Old Comiskey working AM radio ... which is actually kind of cool.

Just listen to John Rooney for a week or two in St. Louis. The difference is as clear as night and day. Or Don Orsillo (former Boston/SD) and Mark Grant together in San Diego. Baseball fans are sophisticated enough to recognize the difference between good and bad. It's not even clear to me after two years that Schiffren even enjoys baseball...and if so, why. It feels like he enjoys the travelling, eating out, luxury hotel existence and being around the players and coaches and feeling important moreso than the broadcasting job itself. He would still love the lifestyle if you took the job away.

What does that have to do with the PRiCE of season tickets? I should have explicitly stated "go up" meaning increased sales/demand....because there's no way in hell you can raise prices off three consecutive 100+ game losing seasons. Not even sure signing Kyle Tucker (which will never in a million years happen) would justify an increase after Sox fans continued to loyalty support the team everyone knew would finish in last place again. Maybe the better question would be for those who have dropped season tickets since 2022...what would bring them back? 1) New owner officially 2) Team has to at least get back to .500 3) Team has to increase the payroll to at least average (roughly $140-150 million this year) 4) Acquiring a big name free agent like Kyle Tucker or combination like Naylor, Merrill Kelly and a veteran quasi-elite closer. 5) New stadium 6) Better promotions/giveaways/food quality/concession prices etc. 7) GM or manager replaced

Sure, if Perez had been able to take the ball every fifth start and amass a 2.5-3.0 fWAR season already by the middle of the summer.

Starting to sound like a mirror of real world politics. If you don't automatically support something 100% and pass the so-called loyalty test. Well, then you naturally must hate whatever IT is, instead of taking a more reasonable, nuanced position somewhere in the middle.
