I'm about as worried about this as I am worried about SARS. The fact is, the flu is what Americans should be worried about and yet they decide foolishly not to vaccinate for it.

Pollyanna is the best of Chicago beer right now, IMHO. But anyone who craps on Goose Island needs to pull their head from their behinds. It's not quite Shiner but it's not bland, either.

HGH isn't enough to make Mike Trout. It's an age of conspiracies in baseball. I say pay no mind to this.

not based on 30 year old hearsay. Waste of resources to investigate that.

This may be the best single argument as to why we don't vacate championships. The fact is, one team got caught cheating, but it's fairly clear a number of teams are cheating in kind.

Vacating trophies is a very bad idea. It doesn't make sense in college and it doesn't make sense in the pros. You can't unring the bell, it's done.

You're on the right track, but it's worse. The major sports leagues (even with baseball being a little different) are monopolies sanctioned by the government. If the game is rigged, there's no reason to sanction the monopoly any longer. The MLB answers to Congress answers to us.

Will be watching "Parasite" within the next couple of days. Sounds like an amazing film.

They should throw the book at him. A big book. Like a text book.

Jason is the best and we are lucky to have him.

I’m 32

The Rise of Skywalker is trash. In retrospect, they should have let Rian Johnson write the whole thing. TLJ was divisive because Rian Johnson tried new things. The Abrams episodes were both significantly weaker films that did little. Cheap emotional moments, inexplicable resurrections, and trivial scavenger hunts damn Episode IX to the trash heap.

Jason and Steve are the best White Sox pairing in my lifetime, so I'm glad he's sticking around.

Honestly, if he's under contract, I don't care what he "wants". If Giolito wants him to catch, he's not going anywhere.

Thinking about buying a condo in Chicago. There are some good prices at Marina City Towers. ...AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

I think that's the end of it. Plus, you already have $50 million of your dollars in Robert. It would be horrible to lose him in some weird CBA thing

Most of our talent is cheap.

I think there's no reason to argue about this, because the definition of bust is so loose. For some, "bust" means "not a superstar". Realistically, "bust" means a bad pick. His ceiling is high, so he won't, IMO, be a bad pick, but the question is if he'll be great.

I like this assessment. He's not your prototypical "best fielder on a champion" player. Good thing Yoan Moncada is. Eloy might be. Robert should be. Good time to be a Sox fan.

wow. that's I would do a number of things, legal or illegal, to make sure that infield happens.

Yeah, maybe if he got the Tim Anderson treatment I would be okay with it, but I think I agree with the rest of you that a year of play might be necessary before we pay him. I don't know how "never strike out, no power" translates to the majors.

Throw in Hawk and film it. Netflix gold.

Definitely, but there's no "It's absurd to keep him in the minors for a month" argument with this guy.

God I hope Vaughn plays in Armour Square. I'm fairly concerned Rick will trade him away.

That would be the wrong thing to do. He's project 1.7 WAR player. There's a potential reason to keep him down for a while there. The whole projection is really shaky.
