Schneemann 2/14 pinch hitting. So of course he laces a two out two run oppo single. 5-2 Guards.

2024: AL Central Thread
And Fry hit in the nose by a 98 mph sacred bunt up and in that barely glanced off his bat ... Skubal visible shaken. Was a ball in there too to advance Ramirez. Craziest Mark Buehrle-sequel attempt you will ever see in that situation. ill-advised.

Look at that woeful CLE lineup other than Ramirez and Kwan. Might as well be the White Sox. Now if only we had their speed defense fundamentals execution and starting rotation/bullpen.

Singer got rocked early but stabilized. Still 4-2.

Detroit fans must be feeling worse than 2005 Sox fans approaching that CLE series twenty years ago. 3-2 Guards as Skubal imploded last inning. Bottom 7. And Cubs knocking off Mets 5-1.

Three runs score for CLE against Skubal without a single ball out of the infield...except an errant between the legs throw attempt to first on a but that went down the RF line instead. 3-2 CLE Top 7

2025-26 NFL Season Thread
Chubb still seems to be lacking that burst/explosiveness from before his injuries...or maybe the OL in Houston is that bad. He did have one TD run when there was a wide open lane Week 2. All the pressure now on Stroud and Nico. Dobbins is always such a tease. O.Hampton and Q.Judkins look like the two best bets so far.

Ishbia taking control by 2029?
"This deal was and is all behind closed doors with Sox fans on the outside." When have White Sox fans' interests ever been prioritized (or even listened to?) over the last 45 years? Seems like JR always will do the exact opposite "just to prove he is right" or that it's HIS team and nobody ekse's.

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
"Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said last week that he expects under (new owner) Zalupski the Rays will start a new search for a new ballpark site in the Tampa and St. Petersburg area. Under Sternberg, the Rays announced plans for and then failed to move ahead with proposed ballparks at the Al Lang Stadium site in St. Petersburg (2007), Ybor City in Tampa (2018) and the site adjacent to the Trop in downtown St. Petersburg (2023 )." espn.com

2025/2026 College Football Thread
ND chances for playoffs... "There were some positive developments, most notably Southern California keeping its record clean and potentially giving Notre Dame another opportunity for a ranked win. But a couple other future foes didn’t do Notre Dame any favors. Arkansas suffered a come-from-ahead loss to Memphis, the second winnable game in succession that the Razorbacks couldn’t finish after coming up short at Ole Miss. Then there was North Carolina State’s loss to Duke that effectively ended any chance the Wolfpack would crack the Top 25 by the time they meet the Irish in three weeks. Even the big win by Syracuse, which will visit Notre Dame in November, came with bad news with Orange quarterback Steve Angeli out for the season. Again, all the Irish can really do is win the rest of their games and hope for the best." USAtoday.com/sports

Genuine progress
29. White Sox (previously: 29) Kyle Teel. Teel won’t end up reaching 80 games this year, but the 75 or so he has played has shot him to the top of nearly every White Sox statistical leaderboard. (He leads them in WAR, playing less than half a season.) The White Sox have some young exciting position players in Colson Montgomery, Chase Meidroth and Miguel Vargas. But Teel is the best of them. mlb.com names Teel best Sox player of 2025 over Colson S.Smith Tauchman Meidroth
