  1. He simply never should have been put in LF. Same with Sheets in RF.
  2. Goodbye Whittingham and Rhule. Goodbye Ohio State. Goodbye anyone but UCLA's Cinderella story...both miracles (including IU) linked back to James Madison origins. USC remaining schedule 11/15 @4 4:30 am 11/21 vs TBD 11/28 @8 TBD Oregon has Michigan @MSU Washington at home Michigan State football's astonishing upset shows Pat Fitzgerald gets this rivalryShawn Windsor Detroit Free Press Pat Fitzgerald understood something Kyle Whittingham did not. And that understanding helped give him the biggest win of his short Michigan State tenure.
  3. Wolkow and Zapata are mere lottery tickets at this point.
  4. Plus, the Bulls are worth $6.7 billion and do have what amounts to unconditional fan support despite mostly terrible teams the last decade...but the Bulls have never once managed to sign a true superstar free agent in his prime (D.Wade was closest) since the 1990s. Not to mention the Reinsdorf Family still has the White Sox control shares as well as 60% of the team. Jerry's new incentive with the Sox isn't just avoiding capital gains taxes and trust issues. It's adding another $800 million to $1 billion in franchise valuation by breaking the union and imposing a salary cap, even though he might have just 2-3 seasons in the last twenty plus (2006/2021-22) where you could even dream about hitting a luxury tax threshold as a Sox fan.
  5. Taylor to Vikings? Taking a huge risk playing him against the Cowboys tmrw. Typical Bama/Roll Tide modesty... JC Latham gave himself the nickname of "Trench King".[23] lol
  6. The only really pressing issue is the three Japanese players...especially Sato and Taira.
  7. Meanwhile, why not build at the site of the original Comiskey Park? Why not invest in a neighborhood that loves and wants their team there so badly ? Where is the proof or evidence for this? 2006? First year of the park? Fans loved the Sox this year and they were still just 22nd in attendance. Last year, they were at the very bottom in revenues generated among all 30 teams.
  8. Not nothing compared to previous AGM and GM salaries.
  9. Do you think that last part is actually the #1 qualification? Didn't matter at all when hiring Schriffen. In fact, as a GM, better to approach this job without any preconceived notions/history due to those past 40+ years under JR.
  10. Study bought and paid for by Ishbias. Self fulfilling prophecy, etc. Teal?
  11. SIOne Decision That Will Shape Every National League Team’s...Everyone is chasing the Brewers in the senior circuit. How will the also-rans approach hot stove season?Contreras pending FA situation addressed...stay tuned
  12. Also not like he plays in a favorable market to express that viewpoint...or at least closer to 35/65. Good luck on the trip to Detroit.
  13. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/mlb-gm-meetings-faq-heres-what-fans-need-to-know-ahead-of-the-baseball-gathering-202950533.html Best opportunity for SoxTalkers to network and possibly get a job in the front office
  14. https://www.yakimaherald.com/sports/professional_sports/mariners/who-is-jason-kanzler-here-s-what-to-know-about-mariners-new-manager/article_833d86b3-9e47-5cb4-91bc-7cdd0f6ca954.html Risky, but Vitello had all the college experience in the world and it meant very little in the majors. Better than a 2-3X recycled veteran. "According to club sources, communication breakdowns around Wilson’s tenure — between Wilson and the clubhouse; between Wilson and the front office; between Wilson and the media — loomed large around the Mariners’ disastrous finish this season." otoh KW said that Robin Ventura had all the leadership qualities of an admiral or general and look how all that ended up
  15. Catchers after age 30 are almost always diminishing returns...with a few notable historical exceptions. Then there are the competitive balance picks as well.
  16. https://nypost.com/2026/11/05/sports/anthony-santander-under-fire-for-controversial-abdul-el-sayed-posts/ might want to worry about his own poor performance first? https://nypost.com/2026/11/06/sports/blue-jays-blast-anthony-santander-after-islamophobic-comments/ “Baseball is for everyone,” the team’s statement read, according to The Athletic, “and the Blue Jays have created an inclusive experience where all fans feel welcome at our ballpark. Individual comments do not represent our organization’s values and beliefs.”
  17. Definitely affordable and much safer than Laos and Cambodia, unless you're around those tourists allowed to shoot off M16s and AKs. Hue Da Nang Nha Trang all worth it. Don't try to fit into those underground tunnels lol. HCMC can get overwhelming with all the e bikes and scooters 12-13 deep across major roads. Some pretty interesting Vietnam Era prisons museums and historic sites. Food is great and cheap...unique coffee a favorite.
  18. Had it wrong 8/9 Not bad with Cubs and Cardinals in the same division.
  19. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/general/mat-ishbia-s-hands-on-involvement-with-suns-is-getting-heavy-backlash/ar-AA2fWuRF?ocid=BingNewsSerp Suns 1-5 start
  20. Sure but they have done that...without starting over while Braun and Yelich aged out. Traded Hader D.Williams Peralta, etc. Consistently top 3-5 farm system. Jesus Made is one of the best prospects in the game and not that far off. 8/11 playoffs
  21. https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/nba-rookie-rankings-cameron-boozer-yaxel-lendeborg-lead-early-list-of-first-year-phenoms-170811004.html Lendeborg up, Peterson down Wilson still at #4
  22. It's definitely going to be biased towards those who mean the most to JR/Brooks Boyer financially....
  23. Not to be confused with bench coach W.McKinven (came from MIL) also drawing interest from other teams around the league...
  24. "The main question is whether the weaker position player class means that Sato can get to six years and/or $25 million in AAV; I have him just missing both, but wouldn't rule out him reaching both. This contract would mean the signing team sends $19.125 million in posting fees to Hanshin, making a full outplay of just over $134 million. My guess is the upper range for Sato is the full outlay of Kyle Schwarber's $150 million deal from last winter; Schwarber is a very proven player and a similar type, even though he hit the market for his age-33 season compared with Sato before his age-28 season." Seem to be moving off 3B for Sato to RF LF 1B DH. Taira because of his size and durability concerns is going to be fascinating...$72.5 million would be just under biggest Sox contract to Beni
  25. Have had that same projection up for a month or more "So does Tuesday's news mean anything? Not really, considering how much the cap remains a nonstarter for the union. Above all else, this latest proposal is a sign that the league is attempting to shift conversations about the cap from the theoretical to the actual. MLB's openness to delaying the cap is a recognition of the inevitable logistical conundrum that rolling out a new system would cause." yahoo.com/sports
