Omar Narvaez would fit in quite well considering his offensive numbers w/ the Mets... Yikes.

Replaced by? Iriarte? Then we are basically starting all the service time clocks 2-3 years before we are anywhere close to a competitive big league roster. Just has the look and feel of a perpetual rebuild like the A's, Royals and Pirates over the recent past.

Tropic Thunder II...

— The Chicago Bears' proposal to fund a new lakefront stadium remains a “non-starter," Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker's office said after top aides met with team officials on Wednesday. The Bears unveiled a nearly $5 billion plan calling for public funding last week for an enclosed facility to be built next to their longtime home at Soldier Field. Though the governor did not rule out more discussions, the team clearly is facing an uphill battle. “As the Governor has said, the current proposal is a non-starter for the state," press secretary Alex Gough said in a statement. "In order to subsidize a brand new stadium for a privately owned sports team, the Governor would need to see a demonstrable and tangible benefit to the taxpayers of Illinois. The Governor’s office remains open to conversations with the Bears, lawmakers, and other stakeholders with the understanding that responsible fiscal stewardship of tax-payer dollars remains the foremost priority.” https://sports.yahoo.com/illinois-governors-office-says-bears-001721152.html TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Some Kansas lawmakers see a chance to lure Kansas City’s two biggest professional sports teams across the Missouri border, but an effort to help the Super Bowl champion Chiefs and Major League Baseball’s Royals finance new stadiums in Kansas fizzed over concerns about how it might look to taxpayers. Members of the Republican-controlled Legislature pushed a bill Tuesday that would have allowed Kansas officials to authorize at least $1 billion in bonds to cover the entire cost of building each new stadium, paying the debt off with tax revenues generated in the area over 30 years. But GOP leaders didn’t bring it up for a vote before lawmakers adjourned their annual session early Wednesday. Some critics derided the plan as corporate welfare. Others were receptive but didn’t want to pass the proposal until the Legislature approved a broad package of tax cuts for their constituents that Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly would sign — which didn’t happen either.

Tyler White or AJ Reed again...maybe Jon Singleton.

Loyal Benetti fans/co-workers who feel he got a raw deal (or who don't like Brooks Boyer much at all) Coming in as an outsider, so to speak Local guys like Connor McKnight getting passed over, who "put in their time" The fact that he's both seemingly pretty brash but doesn't have a huge knowledge of the sport and its intricacies...don't need a stat nerd, but he's got to do some more homework to catch up with some of his information and player background gaps or holes

Well, especially playing half of one's games at Charlotte...where guys like Alcides Escobar would routinely put up 900ish OPS numbers.

Yency Almonte and Madrigal team up to help Cubs take down Mets...Nick had the throw out of Pete Alonso at home to end the game.

We're definitely expert in discovering different ways to get our asses kicked.

If you were comparing to Thomas and Ventura (being top prospects who they gave a lot of rope to)...Robin might be the closest, but he was a polished All Everything collegian compared to a raw high schooler. Montgomery is the closest parallel.

Is he still attempting to hide out with Hahn?

Giving them ANY public money towards a new stadium would be absolutely insane... https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2024/05/world/birmingham-uk-bankruptcy-intl-cnnphotos/

A's are actually playing some very fun and exciting baseball recently. About to be 15-17 with a 4 or 5 game winning streak.

Farmer showing how it's done on defense. Sox 2-18 versus the worst division in baseball. Except statistically Top 4 look better than reality due to facing Chicago.

Twins have never had a 6-0 road trip....in entire franchise history. 11 in row streak in 2006. 12 in 1980. 15 in a row in 1987 or 91.

From the highs of the Rays' sweep to this new bottom. 6-26 30-132 pace. Yikes. Manfred might need to threaten JR with contraction.

Shouting at James Hoy "go back to playing guitar!" No need for Duran now.

Season series clinched on May 1st. 7-0. Six remaining. From 7-13 to 17-13 despite losing Buxton yet again. Getz might be even worse than Grifol. Debate worthy.

Yet another slider from Brebbia crushed.

Still have time for Benintendi and Pham to bite them defensively.

Might as well be James Shields playing instead of Sheets...

Almost were forced to add two more Knights or Barons...had Sheets taken out his fellow defender. Lee maybe with another CS... Got him. Thank god for that because Maldonado throwing numbers are pretty atrocious.

Quentin or Abreu. Probably Eloy? Or maybe Robert.

Castro 10 for his last 12 against LHP. Sheets going to s%*# the bed defensively. Banks replaced Hill lol. Idiots.

That was supposed to be the first example of Getz 4D chess playing brilliance. Not so much. Be way of any five for one trade. First run surrender by Stewart all year long. Corey Lee with the opposite field power...102 EV. Just enough to get over. Might be your Sox All-Star.
