COVID Thread Part Deux
Damn Strange, hope she gets better soon. I know every case is unique, but when I had the breakthrough - as stupid as it seems - I tried to smell strong objects, like candles and deodorant to test if my smell was coming back. At first I couldn't smell them, then faintly, then gradually more and more until they fully returned. Tracking my sense of smell was fairly consistent with my overall symptoms.

While it does have the same root as propaganda, that was not my intent.- COVID Thread Part Deux
No, that is not the truth. Stop propagating falsehoods. https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/latest-data-on-covid-19-vaccinations-race-ethnicity/- COVID Thread Part Deux
That's all while we're taking society-wide preventative measures against COVID (adults getting vaccinated, masks, remote learning, work from home, social distancing, less travel). Like others have said, delta is here. Months ago you said you essentially said that the vaccinated people can stop bothering unvaccinated people, who are living at their own risk. Well, I got COVID despite being vaccinated - because the unvaccinated people are letting delta spread like wildfire. We're going backwards because of delta due to unvaccinated people. You may not want to hear about it so much, but maybe if people didn't handwave this as the flu (which, note, less than half of adults take the vaccine for the flu) and took the damn vaccine, we'd be looking towards a future where we don't have to be worrying about kids getting the delta variant.- In Defense of Leury
Nine seasons of Leury is pretty good value for Alex Rios.- King/Amin to call Friday night Sox game
I'm so disappointed that Tim won't be playing, because hearing Amin start a home run call only to be interrupted by Stacey hysterically yelling "GIVE ME THE MARINARA" would be the best thing since Bill Walton's "swimming through the universe" call of Mike Trout.- COVID Thread Part Deux

Engel (Montreal) and Sheets (Nashville) are taken. Soxtalk has a 50 page thread bemoaning why we protected Moncada, Grandal, Vaughn, Bummer, and Kimbrel over Sheets. McCann joins Engel in Montreal.- Romy Gonzalez called up

The fact that I expected it to be caught speaks volumes about him- 2021-22 NBA Thread
Has there ever been a player with simultaneously such big pluses (age, DPOY level player, under contract, good ball handling, all-star) and minuses (demanding out, can't close out games in the playoffs, scared to take shots, max contract, less-than-flattering off court image)?- Cubs 2021
To be fair, ever since Sam Zell's takeover the Tribune has been pained by nothing but awful management and disastrous decisions to the point where they can't afford any writers.- Have we ever had a player with as much raw talent as Luis Robert?
To be fair, Harold Reynolds has a high opinion of everyone as a baseball player.- Have we ever had a player with as much raw talent as Luis Robert?
La Pantera has the tools to be the best Sox in history and a sweet ass logo. LuBob is playing catch with Josh Fields and Nicky Delmonico.- Have we ever had a player with as much raw talent as Luis Robert?
This seems like as good a place as any to drop this: Some of y'all wanted to nickname him LuBob.- 8/28 Chicago Cubs @ Chicago White Sox 6:10 PM CDT

And now add Adam Engel. It's superfluous, but his OPS crushes Leury's.- 2021-22 NBA Thread
Bulls still have the BAE + Theis exception. This is after adding, since the trade deadline: Vuc, Ball, DeRozan, Caruso, Brown Jr., Green, Jones Jr., Ayo, and Bradley. Dear lord is this what it's like to have a real front office that knows how to work with the cap?- 2021-22 NBA Thread
I think so, yes. - COVID Thread Part Deux
