Hawk should come back once a week to tell Mantle Ted Williams and 1967 Red Sox stories once a week...just not even say anything about the action on the field. Another week could be golf stories with Paciorek...

Will probably end up missing more games than BenettI.

4/8 Sox @ Cleveland (4:10CT) - Banks vs. McKenzie
Why do you think he has played for so many teams since StL? Why was he traded the very first time when he looked so promising? Just look up "fight over fantasy team" and stabbed outside strip bar at google. Why did the team he played much better than expected for last year not bring him back?

The replacements are guys like Sosa, Colas Remillard...and Max Stassi just had a full year off. Bringing up Montgomery early probably won't even sell any seats. That would be totally ill-advised. Phillips Payton and Ortega? Yikes Yikes Yikes. The Guardians...on the other hand, are pitching right through the loss of Shane Bieber. AL Central fortunate they couldn't get proper trade value for how he looked to start the season this year.

And Greinke, who once said he'd rather be moving lawns at the worst of his personal demons.

So much for the theory of getting any thing back for him this year. See Clevinger/Grandal. Maybe we can trade him back to Boston for Raffaela...?

https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39902902/ncaa-women-title-game-most-watched-hoops-game-2019 BRISTOL, Conn. -- South Carolina's victory over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in Sunday's women's NCAA championship game had a preliminary audience average of 18.7 million on ABC and ESPN. The only sporting events in the United States to draw a bigger TV audience since 2019 have been football, the World Cup and the Olympics. The audience numbers are expected to increase when Nielsen releases its final numbers on Tuesday. Nielsen says the audience peaked at 24 million. It's the most-watched basketball game since 2019, when the men's NCAA title game between Virginia and Texas Tech averaged 19.6 million on CBS. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/women-sports-tv-rights-boom-144131791.html

4/8 Sox @ Cleveland (4:10CT) - Banks vs. McKenzie
Maybe he's trying to be clever about the Final Four being in town as well...or perhaps he's trying to be a bit too humorous for his own good like Benetti?

Do the White Sox have an insurance policy for Benintendi where they can get a good chunk of money back by convincing him it would be a good idea to stare directly at the eclipse? Maybe Eloy or Moncada might even fall for it...

March ******* (Basketball Thread)
Not the greatest timing with the title game tonight but he was clearly a dead man walking like Tubby Smith near the end at Kentucky…when a decade earlier he could have run for governor and probably won. That relationship was fractured beyond repair…with only the $33 million buyout keeping the tattered marriage together. Oats Hurley Jay Wright three names being bandied about. Billy Donovan back to collegiate ranks. Hope they get Oberholzer away from Ames, haha. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/replace-john-calipari-kentucky-list-133808617.html This one has Scott Drew as one of the likeliest if they can get past the buyout…

Luis Robert right hip flexor injury
He basically negotiated contracts/extensions for KC. Not sure how much he contributed (while with KC) to the eventual extension of $289 million for Witt, Jr., that was finalized this offseason.

After the White Sox debacle over the last decade, will take any form of winning I can get to take some of the sting away. Love college basketball, but haven’t watched a full NBA game since the end of the Jordan-led Bulls. Waking up to watch the games from 1 am to 530 am before work days here in China…have been doing that 4 of the last 5 weekends, haha. Will never regret it one bit because these types of sports “miracles” happen just once or twice in a lifetime (if you’re not a fair weather fan.)- Under what scenario would you consider offering Crochet and/or Kopech extensions?
If they do trade him, they’re going to chop off another 10-15% of Sox fans…and turned them to checked out, many permanently (or, at the very least, until the team is sold or a new stadium and firm construction dates are set in stone.) Selling nothing but vague hopes for the future won’t work after having fooled the fans once already…without anything left to show for it. Waiting for another top 1-3 draft pick they MIGHT blow yet again isn’t enough to sustain interest either.- Sox now 1-7, on pace for 20-142 record
Not even sure the franchise can survive five more years of this…it will seem enduringly dismal. Relentlessly so. And Luis Robert, Jr., is close to the point of having a permanent cloud hanging over his career. The only potential stars/difference-makers left to protect are Crochet, Montgomery (if he matures into 25 homer power and sticks on the LH side of the diamond) and Schultz.- Fire Pedro Grifol
Bochy closer to his last title w/ SF and in much better physical condition than TLR. Don’t recall anyone wanting Mattingly compared to Hinch or maybe Espada.- Sox now 1-7, on pace for 20-142 record
Au contraire. #5 Orioles (previously: 3). "An early warning sign for the Orioles’ vaunted young offense? They are currently ranked 29th in on-base percentage, ahead of only the White Sox. It’s in large part the young infielders off to slow starts: Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson are a combined 13-for-65 so far. Just out of curiosity, let’s check and see how Jackson Holliday is doing down in Triple-A Norfolk … oh, look, he’s got a .490 OBP down there, how about that?" mlb.com- March ******* (Basketball Thread)

Gee....Pedro, didn't the same EXACT thing basically happen LAST year???- March ******* (Basketball Thread)
52-29 rebounding advantage. 18 offensive. UConn and SC for the national championship next year. Will also be interesting to watch LSU, USC and UCLA in Big Ten, Notre Dame and Texas to see how they all progress with their young leaders. For Iowa, five new freshman incoming and just getting to the round of 32 or even Sweet 16 would be a pretty significant achievement. - March ******* (Basketball Thread)
