Of course, Hahn also graduated HLS in 1996.

Crazy no Cubs blue in Iowa. Or Cardinals in northern Arkansas

Spearmint Rhino for example

Lots of examples outside of Gran Torino of fathers/grandfathers passing their tools down…Stanley, for example.

Paducah seems like almost all Cards' fans...must be for Bulls?

He's not the most important article author...it's the other one. Probably just included due to proximity to the crime in Chicago...Phil Rogers has long flown the coop.

Mediocre to average 730-750 ops numbers would be the equivalent of the Sox star of stars next year

living in Iowa and getting wmaq in the 80s and 90s after sunset is what allowed one to actually follow the team...it was either that or kmox local Cards' broadcast out of Geneseo otherwise had to wait until next afternoon's newspaper for boxscore

Left out the K. Hopefully Longlegs won't target me now...

Gallo or Rowdy Tellez

Flexen to start tmrw afternoon vs. LAA, Crochet moved back to Fri vs. Detroit vs. TBA.

Yes and no. Conservatism since 2015/6….when Trump’s populism swept white high school educated males and significant numbers of labor unions. Conservatism growing up was associated with Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, Greenspan, Milton Friedman, Barry Goldwater, Thomas Sowell, Supply side, the Bushes, Reagan, Powell, George Will, Jack Kemp, Paul Ryan from Wisconsin, certainly lots more intellectualism than the Dems who historically ruled the unions with a relatively lower education level/base. (Tim Walz represents the opposite of that Clinton/Obama tie to Wall Street, investment banks and Silicon Valley…fwiw. Whether the middle 30-40% of voters will buy it, more women and Hispanics voting for Trump, Dems peeling off any additional white male swing or “dislike both” voters…will decide the election.)

Before the game, Luis Robert Jr. talked about his statistical drop off this season and tied those struggles directly into that of the team as a true leader and top-flight level player would and should do. Robert followed up those comments with two doubles, contributing to the postgame joy in the clubhouse. A throng of media members, probably as big as any group covering the White Sox this season since Opening Day, walked in to find players joking and "Everybody Dance Now," the 1990 hit from C+C Music Factory, blaring. Anyone who came to see history made by the White Sox will have to wait, with the White Sox winning their fourth straight at home and second straight series at home. “Wait one more day,” Benintendi said with a smile. “Maybe.” “If you start the year off great early and terrible at the end, it kind of leaves a sour taste in your mouth,” Martin said. “I think that's exactly what we're trying to do is put some good games together and we're trying to have some fun and win some games and go to Detroit and try to spoil some games for them.” As for that Detroit series … the White Sox moved Chris Flexen to Thursday’s home finale and ace Garrett Crochet to Friday in Detroit. The American League Central rivalries are going strong, even in the face of 121 losses. “They’re gonna be competing for a playoff spot,” Sizemore said. “We wanna throw our best guy up against this team that’s fighting for a playoff spot.

Not at anywhere close to this year’s salary. Will just play rookies.

Having worked for a black NFL receiver, it’s still all about tax policy, sheltering wealth and the Prosperity Gospels. Then again he was a born again Evangelical Christian to boot. That same player ended up in Miami Federal prison for real estate fraud related to the 2007-2008 boondoggle.

If a 625 ops with bottom quintile defense is the answer on the infield the team is doomed. Because Vargas and Baldwin all profile similarly, Ramos for now, and Montgomery still a work in progress. Benintendi has to repeat this the first half of next season. Then maybe they can trade him and only have to send $10-20 million along with his contract instead of 50%. But as a DH and not average LF, he has fairly limited attractiveness. Being LH helps a bit but those defensive metrics aren’t close to good.

bailed out by dp's two consecutive innings

Not Anderson again.

Winning despite only three hitters over 626 ops.

If Soroka expects a starter's salary good luck.

lol

Burger with 29 homers and over 70 rbis now. Minnesota behind the 8 ball. 764 ops 74 rbi’s, opened up lead over Min again tonight…

The whole idea of a still recovering but lacking in crispness and command on his pitches seems pretty ludicrous. 93~95 mph is just a pedestrian fastball in?the game today. And whoever targeted Shewmake for any reason than former first round draft was nuts. It's almost like the modified operandi is to dig up as many former high draft picks and watch them continue to fail and/or think fans will be fooled by former top prospect rankings into buying into any hope/faith at all. But Lopez had that amazing 5-6 fWAR season in the not so distant past and he could sort of be a local fan favorite storyline. Well, bollocks to that.

Still alive. Tied with Minnesota...but only three games remaining. Twins have more opportunities to lose, two more against Miami at home and then finish with three against the Orioles. Royals/Tigers two games clear at 9 games over .500. 2/3 just might do it for the Mariners. Of course expecting or predicting that six games over at just 84-78 would be enough...? The White Sox Effect.
