Holy smokes

Doing the work of the Baseball Gods!

He’s a piece of s%*# because he quietly refused to support something that he doesn’t believe in? Or am I missing something… There are a lot of players in the league that deserve that label but Blake isn’t one of them in my book. To each their own.

hi8is sr. has left the building in dejection. 😆 He usually roots for the Sox with me due to my life long loyalty but his roots are with the Pirates and Dodgers. It’s satisfying to see him disappointed in the blue crew. 😆 GO SOX! 💪🏼⚾️🔥🧦

Indeed, I was mixing you up with another poster brother.

Colson doesn’t look comfortable at all. Seems to me that his back is barking.

I want to hear from Rodriguez but not during the fucking game.

Thanks brother man on both accounts!

Thanks brother - I likely won’t know much until July but at least the ball is rolling. The medical system here in the U.S. is a joke.

Yea brother man - I’ve been wanting to buy your book for well over a year and have just had next to zero disposable income forever.

Would love to see some pictures!

Would love seeing pictures if you could snap a couple and are willing to share.

While I’m usually happy to represent the Sox as a local Los Angeles prodigal son, today I’ll be simply hoping that I’m out of the hospital and back home before game time to figure out a VPN / way to watch the game. Next week on Wednesday I’ve got a medical procedure to either confirm or rule out cancer. Going in today for preparation stuff.

Awesome to hear the Minoso story!

Interesting fact about Dominic Smith and Anthony Kay: Smith has only faced him once and in that at bat he hit a grand slam.

The insane thing is that 10% is extremely modest. There are use cases where these models can put out production level code in minutes that would have taken weeks in decades past. I miss the days where all we had to do was buy something like “baseball.com” for $12 and sit on it for ten years to make 6 to 7 figures. 😆 Being an internet nerd as a young preteen in the early 90s was gold and I didn’t even realize it until another decade passed by. 😆😆 Now to hit a 6 or 7 figure deal you have to not only build out an app but you also have to grind away at generating a community with hundreds of thousands of followers across multiple channels. 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

Yea man - it’s nuts that what used to be the most in demand and one of the highest paying skills, is now able to be replicated with basic knowledge of the English language. 😆 Another well respected internet engineer in the field calculated the value of software development based on token costs of frontier models and it works out to $10.62 an hour. At the highest point of my career, I was pulling in about $1,600 an hour on autopilot away from the keyboard. Now I can’t make half of what someone makes flipping burgers at our local In-n-Out. 😆

Figured it would be fun for the board to share their White Sox memorabilia collections with other members. So here’s a thread to talk the collecting side of baseball. Some of my best memories as a kid center around when the Sox would come to Anaheim to play the Halos. My Dad would take off from work and make sure we saw every series. We’d hang out before and after each game to get players autographs when they were entering / leaving the stadium. Most of that stuff is in storage so I can’t post any pictures. Instead, I recently decided to start collecting Sox hats. Here’s the result of my first buy. 😆 In the corner are two of my favorite items we got signed when I was a kid… a Rawlings Big Stick professional model bat and a fitted hat both signed by Frank Thomas. At the time, I didn’t even reach his waist line. 😆

I’m going to miss Derek. Haven’t taken time yet to see what the return was — just wanted to say I’ll miss the guy.

Pretty sure he included me in the Hill trade and just didn’t tell anyone, including Philly.

Problem: He only authorized for Spirit Airlines and they’re no longer operating out of LAX.

Ouch.

Odd that they don’t have Kay listed and still have TBA up with that good looking silhouette pimpin it.

I’ll start walking over to the park now. Google Maps says I should get there in 31 days… factoring in time for rest and sleep, I should be able to get there by the end of August or beginning of September.

Still no idea who is starting for us on the bump?
