Nicky with the blast!!

There's always those movie star good looks that Renteria used to talk about to fall back on, in case this baseball thing doesn't work out long term for Nicky.

Since this is the job thread, I would like to say that I hope the part time gig turns full time and is a long term good fit for Jack. However, Jack, I really think you are gonna lose alot of people when you start in with that "check your privilege" bs imho.

Boy am I going to be in trouble with my March madness brackets this year....I already always pick my Alma matter to go too far whenever they get to the dance....and now Dayton is ranked #3 in the polls....I guess I will really be living and dying with the Flyers this year. It is a long way from when I was there and the most exciting game I remember was beating a #25 ranked Ohio State team (and of course whenever we beat Notre Dame)

You'll be eating your words when we have a Cheslor Cuthbert bobble head doll night in 2022....remember that Spring training game in 2020 when Ricky had Cheslor bat 3rd for the first time?!?

If we are looking to contend for the playoffs this year, I would prefer to keep McCann. A solid backup catcher is a valuable thing. Combine that with my doubt that we will get much back of value imho. If Grandal would go down to injury, I do not want to rely on the other 3 as our starting catcher for a chunk of the season.

Name calling is not pretty...you are better than that Ray...no reason to call the man a Shrew ?

?

You lit a fire under me 59th street...I just called customer service at WOW and the young lady told me there was no change in premium at this time to add the Marquess of Queensberry network. Hopefully it stays that way. Hell I would prefer a discount for having another channel that I have to actively avoid.

Since it is news to me as of today, I do not know yet. I will look into it with them and see if I will be getting charged extra. I have a pretty basic package currently and sometimes they just add channels without charging extra ie. they added BBC America last year but my bill did not change. When I know more about this changing my bill, I will get back.

Crap...thanks for the bad news Moan. Yet they still won't carry TruTv so I miss some 1st round March Madness...but I digress. Any news on them signing Kaplan? ?

I actually had forgotten the Cubbies signed David Ross as manager until I saw the other day that he had the flu. I had a nice chuckle remembering that move. If they finish in 3rd or 4th in the division this year, I am sure the Cubbie fans will lose thier love for old pappa Ross.

I have WOW cable and they currently are not carrying the Marquee Network...please let that continue and as a bonus, I would appreciate the Marquee Network signing Dave Kaplan so that I can truly avoid him in the future. Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

Engel is a former AFL MVP if I am remembering correctly?

He will struggle 6/14/2020 when he hears before the game that his dog, Loki is sick...Loki will recover....Andrew goes 2-3 the next day with 2 walks a double and 3 run homer. But that is mere speculation on my part.

Robert took off like a rocket out of the box...that speed, power combo is gonna be fun to watch!!!

I think I'll stay away from the gamethread....on second thought, it might be very entertaining...fire away boys!!

Lock up Moncada and the Abreu deal looks better and better....Thanks Jose!!

Anyone else looking for an extension? Rick Hahn will be in his office until 3:00 today. After hours, please leave message.

White Sox vs Red Sox marathon game where we tied it with a run in the 9th...tied it again with 2 in the 11th...and won it in the 19th inning. The most memorable thing about that game is that I was there with a huge Red Sox fan who was supposed to meet his family at a block party afterwards. His daughter had asked him when he would be there and he actually told her he didn't know because the great thing about baseball is that it never ends in a tie and it will keep going until someone wins....and he stayed the whole game ?

Time to pump the breaks on Robert being on the opening day roster...."In Center Field and leading off....Gorkys Hernandez!!!"

That is a lucid, well thought-out, intelligent argument....I would still be in favor of getting rid of Manfred

Best case scenario....the Sox battle for the AL Central crown while the Cubbies battle the Pirates to stay out of the cellar in the NL Central

If you are looking for something to argue about, I doubt you will get any takers to argue the pro-Manfred side

I'd rather not
