Is soccer replacing all the US major sports (except NFL) in popularity?)
You missed Space Invaders, Donkey Kong and Pac Man lol. Atari 2600/5200 and Intellivision. There was always sports, video arcades, movie theatres/multiplexes, shopping malls, pizza places etc. Drive in theatres were dying out by the mid 80s in most bigger cities.

NCAA rules are going to go to court yet again
SEC will be in an AL court suing Kiffin/LSU...on Friday. Clemson @ Baton Rouge DQ Wright was a TE for Ole Miss. One more player (Z.Harris) will be ready in 2-3 weeks...which coincidentally is OleMiss vs. LSU weekend in Oxford. What's the point of the NCAA again???

Castillo to Sox for Dominguez, Boston Smith, Nolan Jones per Passan
7 years ago And didn't get the deal across the goal line in the end. Other than Skubal, nobody else fits the bill this off season and the struggles of Imai in Houston make adding one of 2-3 potential NPB starters unlikely. They probably will sign 1-2 NPB/Korean returning busted MLB prospects like Fedde/Kay/Griffin.

NCAA rules are going to go to court yet again
Louisiana aka LSU judge allows two former NFL players to join Tigers on deadline day for finalizing team rosters. SEC has two days to stop them/sue/kick them out of the SEC before Saturday's game in Baton Rouge. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/judge-rules-that-lsu-can-roster-ex-nfl-players-in-defiance-of-sec-rules-ahead-of-fridays-roster-deadline-011020555.html

Castillo to Sox for Dominguez, Boston Smith, Nolan Jones per Passan
Well, it was his first time ever on the buy side! What can you realistically expect? Sox On 35thHow can the White Sox fix Luis Castillo?Luis Castillo hasn't gotten off to the start he and the White Sox would've wanted in Chicago. Are there adjustments he can make to fix this?"The White Sox have taken an important first step with a simple change in pitch mix: throw your best pitches more often and your worst pitches less often. By throwing a season-low number of sliders thrown in August, which has been Castillo’s worst pitch, the White Sox have picked off the easy part of this.

Seattle has the easiest. Which is how one website had them tying at 82-80 with Mariners holding the tiebreaker.

“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire
Didn't stop PCA!!! MLB Trade RumorsRays' Owner Eyeing Top 10-15 Payroll In New StadiumCould the Rays have a top 10-15 payroll in the game? Their owner thinks so ... once the new stadium opens. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.

It's important to remember that Castillo and Doyle are also longer term projects. They weren't just for this season.
Defending Getz seemed a very easy job after Saturday's games...even Murakami falling into their laps doesn't feel like a crowning achievement at this point. But no team has ever won their division coming off a 100 loss season...let alone two or three!!! Think how amazing that is!!! It's pretty much the greatest story in modern baseball history and should be a Disney movie...except for the AL Central being so darned weak.

“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire
Because most don't believe it would fit that 78 property. Point 2 is it would add approximately $500 million to the project. Ishbia doesn't exactly have Kroenke or Balmer money at his disposal right now.

Didn't want to deal with the lockout uncertainty...so took almost all of the difficult decisions out of his hands already.

Castillo to Sox for Dominguez, Boston Smith, Nolan Jones per Passan
And Brazoban blew the ninth inning lead in that insane Boston extras 13th inning loss...like the trades were meant to actively sabotage the team. "Reverse Rachel Phelps" Carrigg had already supplanted Doyle...so we helpfully removed the embarrassment of a non tender away from DePodesta's off season.

Castillo to Sox for Dominguez, Boston Smith, Nolan Jones per Passan
Each team's hottest pitching prospect mlb.com White Sox: David Sandlin, RHP (No. 11) The White Sox need pitching help if they're going to stay atop the AL Central, and they could give Sandlin another look after he fashioned a 2.00 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 18 Triple-A innings last month. Part of the Jordan Hicks trade with the Red Sox in February, he has gone 2-1 with a 6.93 ERA during three short stints in Chicago this year. He succeeds when he can command his mid-90s fastball, and he complements it with an upper-80s cutter and a mid-80s sweeper.

What to do about Castillo for the rest of the season?
Well, except for Jacob Gonzalez

Mantle debuted at 19 and was a five tool star pretty much from the beginning until his knee injuries/alcohol problems detailed his from GOAT status. Could hit the ball as far as anyone in the game's history and run like the wind at first.

Brett Myers from a moral standpoint Manny Ramirez/Youkilis disappointed But they weren't getting $20+ million the following season for a team that started out close to an $82 million payroll.

Really needed the split. 4 games up would feel much more comfortable...especially not knowing if Detroit will decide to fight back and play spoiler or not.

Don't think you're going to get a response other than you should appreciate everything Chris GEtz has done to get the Sox into this position with just 22 games remaining. Doesn't quite feel like 2012's inevitable death march at the end. More like 2000/08/20 mixed together.
