You know what, greg? Touché

Even those of us who were in support of this extension (myself included) did not see this type of year coming. Even Jerry Reinsdorf did not see this type of year coming.

The post-game show has not yet been cancelled.

I am coming back from the dead to say: I cannot fucking believe what is happening here.

This is one of the dumbest posts I've seen on the whole internet.

Was on a plane so I missed the break, but wow. This is fantastic news. I think Moncada is going to be streaky his entire career, but the tools are so loud and he’s willing enough to adjust that the average production will make this a steal.

Yeah I'm with you there.

Yeah it's hard for me to buy that one. If the Sox are maxed out at this point, there's no hope.

*shrug* not by the end, no. It doesn't matter. The highest guaranteed money Bummer gets is $5m in the last year. This won't stop them from doing anything.

I would say the Nate Jones deal was a complete disaster and I don't think it stopped them from doing anything. When they're this cheap, it's hard to see much downside.

Weird thread

Sounds like SoftBank is exercising whatever rights it has to either keep him on their team, or, at the very least, negotiate some sort of compensation for his release. It's difficult to tell how much leverage they have with respect to the former, since it seems that Colas is currently physically missing and has probably fled the country, but my guess is that this is more of a message to MLB teams saying, "hey, this guy is under contract with us, and we are asking that you respect that, as opposed to simply signing this guy as if we don't even exist."

What an insane take based on that picture lol.

Because that’s how the front office has treated the acquisition.

I can’t see puig accepting/thriving with a part-time/platoon role, and I can’t see the White Sox going out of their way to get mazara just to block him with a so-so veteran with questionable clubhouse effects.

I know, they're so entitled, aren't they? Acting like they don't owe you free content and all. Or, even MORE free content, I guess, since they already give you a lot. But come on, right? UGH

It means that it's a MLB trademark and is completely MLB-operated. The All-Star game is a jewel event, the playoffs are jewel events, and last year's London Series was a jewel event. So even though it's a White Sox home game, you won't be able to buy tickets from the White Sox.

This is correct. It’s an MLB “jewel” event, but it is taking up a White Sox home game.

Yeah. Wow. That is a bad list. White Sox in the middle of the pack I think is fine though. Don’t forget that we always see the upside of our guys because we’re fans, but this is a lineup with a ton variance. The potential is massive but the downside is very real. If you’re projecting, you gotta take the average. This lineup could very well turn into a top five lineup this year if everyone takes a step forward/no one regresses, but it could be pathetic if everyone stalls/everyone regresses. Overall, that potential should make it actually fun to watch for the first time since the rebuild started.

I'm in a good position to know when these go on sale, and I've still heard nothing. It's very strange.

Lol

The last two years have been subpar. It’s the OG though. There have been versions of it that are some of the best beers of all time. Keep trying it, they’ll nail it every few years. keep in mind it isn’t a coffee stout base either, so comparing it to the founders stouts isn’t really apples to apples.

In terms of the Belgian styles I’d agree, but it’s hard to argue they don’t take chances with Bourbon County every year. The variants are getting stranger and stranger (and the reviews are getting worse, lol).

No
