It feels like the wrong time to start a local TV channel. I get that baseball is an aging fanbase but wouldn't it make sens to have the Cubs or Sox be a streaming service in the local region? That way, I can cancel cable and pay for SoxNOW or whatever it would be called. As is, I love MLB.tv and it sucks the local markets don't get it.

It wouldn't be a competing service, but MLB sells many of their games to national outlets (ESPN Sunday night for example). If Amazon were to make a competitive bid on something like the MLB would be crazy to not listen. It's not hurting the NFL at all that Thursday Night games are on Amazon Prime.

I'm curious to find out when Amazon or Youtube will make a move to get streaming rights to big games. I like the agreement we signed in principle but the future is those subscription services.

People love to ask me "why were you in the Philippines?" so I have gotten used to it. Beautiful country. Sad how poor it is.

When I was in the Philippines on business I watched the Sox with this https://www.expressvpn.com/

Depends on what message baseball is trying to make.

Adam LaRoche Albert Belle Bryan Anderson Sammy Sosa Josh Fields (such a disappointment)

Yes. I'll put a deeper discussion of this company in the buster. Wait nevermind Basically, the Cubs have partnered with the worst company you have never heard of.

Cubs are partnering with Sinclair to form the "Marquis" network. Too bad the Cubs sold their soul to the bottom of the barrel of broadcasters.

Probably not as well as "Our owner also owns the Bulls and they're the biggest non-football draw in town".

Hate to be that guy, but the reason the Sox are in this deal is because They play in the summer and the channel needs content in the summer They share an owner with the Bulls, so it's really just one transaction

It does. Basically, it's critical that a Chicago based sports network have a baseball team.

Yes, Derrick Rose. He stepped aside and replaced himself with a significantly worse GM. He seems to sometimes take over like right now, but he's responsible for the actions of his replacement and it's time to move on from this FO.

There's literally no argument to be made that Pax is a bad GM. He finally acquired a superstar at the end of his GM tenure.

I typically defend Paxson more than most because he's clearly very smart and capable as a GM, but he's responsible for the actions of everyone beneath him and he has continued to endorse Gar despite major shortcomings. Everyone needs to go.

I've been through a myriad of tests as part of a study at the University of Chicago. Multiple times as a kid I was run though a collection of tests. I have three siblings: two are on the spectrum and two of us aren't.

If Rock is JB Pritzker, I'm not sure why he hasn't bought the White Sox from Jerry yet

Got it. My sister is severe. My little brother is on the spectrum and he faces the same challenges. Best of luck.

Based on your typing I would assume you're pretty mild then. My sister is autistic and she can't even apply for a job. I also have a Chemical Engineering degree. Weird.

Man, why are you here? This type of crap gets old. If "the rest of the country" thought the White Sox were a joke: 1) They wouldn't be in the national conversation about Bryce Harper 2) They wouldn't be constantly lauded about the strengths of their system 3) They wouldn't be attracting such negative press from borderline sportswriters.

I don't know what media you're reading. The anti-Sox rhetoric is strong.

I'm just ready for the insults from "reputable media sources" to stop. If I watch another video or read another tweet from a major news source that says "Bryce Harper to the White Sox would be the worst decision of his life" or "The White Sox are completely irrelevant and have no future" I'm going to lose it. I can't wait for Eloy to come up and light the league on fire.

Cubs Twitter: Harold doesn't deserve to be in Uhh, Lee Smith has 3 HOFers in his top 10 similarity scores. Baines has 4 (and it's 1, 2, 4, 5)

Cheers to Harold Baines!
