Saw that and felt some regret, but my best friend (who I had bought the tickets to go with) bailed because he assumed I had sold them weeks ago and made plans. My wife was gonna go so it didn't go to waste, but she's got minimal interest. In the end, it's not the worst thing.

I had tickets for tonight's game against the Red Bulls that I bought right before he signed. Sold them the moment Tata said he'd sit Messi. Thank god.

Time for Moncada to start playing for that next contract!

My dad kept telling me Sosa sucks and doesn't deserve playing time. Time for me to gloat.

Update: 3 (2) fans injured by bullet in Guaranteed Rate field (split from game thread, police investigation underway)
Chicago comes in at #28 https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/murder-map-deadliest-u-s-cities/ Edit: Worth noting this article is from 2022 and uses FBI stats pre-pandemic (the earliest available at the time of publication). But the narrative existed long before then.

If we're being honest, a 2023 White Sox documentary would be a more interesting watch than the 2005 DVD.

Venom doesn't like Andy the Clown. Venom is Reinsdorf confirmed.

Bill Veeck hurt the game by introducing the exploding scoreboard and pinwheels. It encourages showboating. They're should be polite golf claps after home runs. He also fucked up by putting names on jerseys. VEECK WRECKED BASEBALL.

Also, Nancy Faust ruined baseball by introducing rock and pop music to the sport.

If they disagree with a call, they should button their shirt, roll down their socks, go up to the ump, give him a firm handshake, hand him a resume with their stats and say "Mr. Umpire, I disagree with your call."

And other teams do win while wearing chains and accessories. Or do the Braves and Dodgers just not exist in your little world? And several NBA teams have won with headbands. In fact, basically all of them.

Personally, I'd like to emulate these teams:

Of course. We all know what they're missing.

I could keep going, but the point is that the Sox aren't bad because of Moncada's neon socks or Colas' blonde hair. They're bad because the organization is a dysfunctional mess from Jerry on down. It was being held together with shoelaces, gum and band-aids in 2019-2020, but Ricky was building a good clubhouse culture. Then the players learned that Ricky getting them to playoffs meant he was rewarded with getting fired for JR's old buddy and the floodgates opened.

James Shields for Tatis? BIG WIN FOR THE CULTURE

And how can the Braves be winning with all this drip?

Also, Reinsdorf banned headbands for Bulls players until 2016. Lot of fucking good that did them. Oh joy, our players are getting sweat in their eyes but at least they look professional!

Use Twitter.com as the URL and cut off the utm code (the ? and everything after). Sometimes it still embeds with the utm code, but it's hit or miss.

He's playing three rookies today. Maybe Getz sent a memo?

The fun thing here is that Bob strikes out a lot with non-Sox teams.

We need a clubhouse leader to lead the org.
