2026 World Baseball Classic
I am glad this WBC is going to be more serious. They have been gradually allowing this tournament to go all out.

White Sox adding bidets to clubhouse
I cannot believe the shamelessness of some people in this thread that are telling on themselves. Bidets are literally life changing and save you money on TP. Imagining you nasty motherfuckers with skid marks in 2026 is fucking wild. No amount of wiping will clean you fully. I atleast hope you use wet wipes... that is the bare minimum... /rant

I appreciate your feedback and didn't take it is being a buzzkill at all. You are speaking from a experienced place. At the end of the day, I just want to be able to provide for my kid and leave him as best off as possible. Maybe that's naïve, but we all try to do our best with what is given to us.

I agree this isn't my first choice. The issue is, my career is stagnate. I have been laid off twice in the past 5 years and working contractor jobs close to home for very little pay. This is my real shot as jumpstarting my career and filling in viable skill gaps. I have tried to land the jobs close to home but it's always the dreaded, "We like you, but we are going with someone with more relative experience." If this place is good for me, my family will move, but if not, I work my few years, and hope that experience will elevate me to be more competitive back in the Chicagoland area.

No remote option, 100% on site job. The commute to and from my current home in the area is around 1.5 hours with no traffic.

My kid is 3 now, and man, the whirlwind has commeth... Chill kid up 2.5, now is discovering his autonomy and running around like a nut. Any tips of what you guys did to ground them? I know the neurons are firing so we are trying to give him space. That being said, there are just times were he goes off the deep in...

Job Thread
Calling any Sox-Talker to chime in. I just recently got a job offer in Wisconsin. To be precise, it's a suburb of Milwaukee. This job aligns with career aspirations and will hopefully set myself up nicely in the future. I live in Chi-burbs now with my wife and kid. I am planning on being a commuter worker, that is travel to the area for the work week, and commute back to the Chicagoland area for the weekend/holidays, etc. Has anyone every done a commuter worker arrangement before? The company that hired me gave me a stipend for moving but I'm trying to figure out the most efficient living arrangement I should pursue. Obviously hotels, motels, and airbnbs would be too pricey. The cost of living is cheaper but since this is not really home, I don't know how much I should invest. I figured starting a dialogue would help focus my foundation a bit. Please share whatever comes to mind! Thank you.

2025 WS- Dodgers/Blue Jays
The Dodgers have the superior bats. I would also give them the SP advantage. This series is going to be brutal for the Jays. Maybe the Jays steal a game, two max.

Soxtalk mourns the passing of our beloved friend Alex (Heads)
I am sad I just learned about this. I remember Heads had information about Hoiberg becoming the Bull's HC back in the day. He always had great one liners too. Damn this sucks, life can be too damn fragile. RIP, brother.

My bad. I haven't been on the soxtalk threads in a minute so I replied to a post of your from August in December. I am an anomaly for sure. I have been fortunate to develop the social and mental skills required to overcome a nature environment.

Violence begets violence. I grew up with parents who disciplined physically. I now, would never do that to my kid.
