This thread got me thinking about Houser....I had no idea about that contract he signed with the Giants. 2 year $22 million?

I am very interested to see what Thorpe looks like this season.

Thanks to Timmy U, Bob Sacamano and soxrwhite for having my back.

USA mixed doubles curling team knocked off the Italians, who I believe were the reigning Olympic gold medalists and World Champs. Team USA curls tomorrow for the Gold against Sweden. I just watched "Miracle" yesterday so I was hyped for a big upset. Suck it Italy!!!

They are doing amazing things with paper plates these days

Ugghh, I guess this is deserving of the paper bag emoji but I just do not like that one so I will just reiterate.....Ugghh.

The bidets are starting to pay dividends.

Are we still able to just "flush" a bad loss or is there an extra verb to add in to account for the bidet use?? I'll hang up and listen.

SUCK IT TWINS!!!

Tragic really.....and did you know The root word of tragic is the Ancient Greek tragos, meaning "goat" or "billy-goat". It originates from tragoidia, translating to "goat song" (a combination of tragos and oide, "song"), likely referring to the goat-skin garments worn by performers in Dionysian festivals or the goats given as prizes in early Greek dramatic competitions.

Went a few years ago as part of a trip to visit people in Arizona. Went to the Sox-Cubs game on St Patricks day and as a bonus Nancy Faust was on the organ. The weather that time of year was perfect for me in the upper 70's. Just watching a game live after a long winter was perfect. Game ended in a tie. I thought It was great fun. To echo what someone else said, I stayed in Tempe near the university and the hotel rates there were not bad at all.

I just noticed that the title of this thread looks like it could be the name of one of those supplements Big Frank was hawking......get a free bottle by texting the word caleb.

I would personally prefer Sosa to be out there learning OF on the job and keeping his bat in the lineup over signing a veteran like Conforto.

I am pretty sure notstevecishek could have pitched as well as the real thing.

Thanks so much for the perspective. Prior to the 2025 season, I was very excited with what I thought the starting pitching staff would look like by the end of the year but that never materialized and soured me a bunch. If it happens in 2026 instead, then outstanding.

You would know and I am happy to hear that....and very happy to be wrong. I have just not seen anything written nationally that is complimentary of our pitching.

Current and future starting pitching sure looks bleak. This new and improved rebuild is not gonna work either unless they fix that.

.500 is just beyond that horizon.....be that guy, again

I still remember someone describing that exchange as the White Sox replacing a guy who would run through a wall for his teammates with a guy who complained about them putting a wall there.

OK, pal.

True....He's started taking a Pilates class.

If you are looking for the best chance at playing time this season....Jarred sure seemed to make the right pick with the White Sox.

i saw a write up on our current and future starting pitching last week and it was truly bleak. I came away quite depressed.
