I just can't with the thought of a stream of water shooting up my asshole. Just sounds extremely unpleasant.

I thought the white sox had finally moved past white soxing

I don't even know who Bob Elson is 😂 I grew up in the late 90's/2000's so my childhood was Hawk (thankfully I still got him when he was good) and DJ but mostly Hawk and Stone. I also loved listening to Farmer and DJ on the radio as well. Such a great listen. DJ is still good alongside Kasper. I think Kasper needs to stay radio though. It's his sweet spot. He tends to by dry/not as entertaining to listen to on TV IMO for some reason.

This seems like it could be a major steal for ATH. Extremely club-friendly contract. Wilson has the potential to be one of the top SS in the game for a long time.

How anyone would choose him over Benetti is beyond me

God I hope they replace schriffen when the team is good again.

At least it's not the Marathon gas station logo like Cleveland. But still...🤮

Unpopular opinion, and I know his defense something to be desired, but I prefer Sosa over Meidroth if it comes down to one has to go. Meidroth just screams Nick Madrigal to me.

Man it's been a tough stretch for Atlanta of late.

Indiana tax payers 🤣

I liked our odds much better against a 49er team in Chicago, not a Seahawk team in Seattle. If we win tonight, I'm going to have a hard time getting my hopes up for next Sunday.

Obviously not high priority but just because I am curious, anyone know when the Sox will release their promo schedule?

Lockout happening for sure now. 😏

Time for the era of the Dominicans baby

The Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field would like a word with you

So maybe a salary cap won't be as far fetched a reality as we all thought.

Everyone associated with the Dodgers organization including their fans and minor league teams, and Japan, which in turn is good for MLB. And theoretically it should make other teams also want to do and spend more to win, but greed is a powerful thing. I don't think the reality of Ohtani can be ignored here though. If there is no Ohtani I'd bet the Dodgers wouldn't be spending on players like they are. They get so much more money from him just being on the team. It's just like with Jordan and what he did with the Bulls. Made them a global sensation and that has lingered even to this day as they've been completely mediocre since his last days. The Bulls have money like they do today because of MJ (they just have a cheap ass owner that is also incompetent). The Dodgers have money because of Ohtani.

The teams in forever rebuilds have more problems than just money. Its ineptitude. Pittsburgh, Colorado, Angels. I think the Sox are finally making the right moves and are digging themselves out of the hole. When Jerry is no longer invested in the team and Ishbia comes on the scene, we will be in much better shape. The foundation is being laid for long term success. On the topic of viewership, while it has risen, the league does need to make it less difficult to watch. Honestly this extends beyond just baseball, but there's no reason MLB can't be the leaders in this. Make every team accessible to watch no matter where someone lives and put it on one source. Stop dicking around with all the different media companies. (I know, obviously that's where the money is at).

I mean it's not theoretical, it's real. Spending 4 times the amount won them 93 games, only 3 more than San Diego. You'd think all this money would win them like 130 games a season or something but it doesn't. So while spending money certainly helps, it isn't everything. Milwaukee won 97 games last year, won their division by 5 games. Small market team in a division with a large market team. There are other examples. Until the data represents the Dodgers spending an exorbitant amount of money on players equals them singlehandedly monopolizing the league year after year after year through wins and championships, to answer your question yes I am completely fine with them being able to spend 4x the amount of other teams.

Viewership has actually increased in recent years, with 2025 showing significant gains. The sport is getting more popular. Plus, the Dodgers didn't exactly dominate last season when talking wins and losses. They also barely, by the skin of the skin of their teeth, won the WS. They are still beatable. Without Tucker last year, they won 93 games. That's not exactly earth shattering. It's not like Tucker is going to make them even a 100 win team. Let them spend if they have the money. There's enough good players to go around at the moment.

I know but the song will be a little weird if they do move there lol. I think they'll stay in Chicago ultimately. They'll figure it out. I have no information to make that up other than it's my gut.

"Bear down, Chicago Bears. You're the pride and joy of...Indiana..."

This is interesting. I always thought if he could secure a minor league contract with like Boston or Houston that he might do well, or uh, at least better than in the past, in their major league parks because of the Crawford boxes and the monster. At any rate, I wish Eh-loy the best.

Obviously the players don't want a cap and never will. But at some point you have to be willing to negotiate a little bit. I think the floor is an interesting piece to the puzzle, and then that revenue-split system that I don't really understand. I mean really how far do you go until you call it greed? (I know we can talk all day about greedy owners...) On another note I like that he is talking about blackouts being a major issue that needs to be addressed. I am hopeful they get rid of that stupid reality once and for all soon. It does nothing but diminish the popularity of the sport. Periodt.

I don't follow the NBA so anything I say about basketball doesn't really have any substance behind it, but my wife and I went to a G-League game the other day (I know it's not the NBA but still...closest thing to it). It was boring as hell. Part of the issue is the penalties. They can't touch each other without getting called. You can only watch free throws for so long before you start wondering when the game is going to end...
