The Grinder

If I heard correctly, the ISA owns the park and thus they control the naming rights correct and the Sox have no say in this correct?

I know back in was in 1988 or 87 when Illinois almost lost them to St Pete, I was ready to become a Brew Crew fan w a mild interest in the Florida White Sox

Is this like inviting the wife you divorced to marry yr current wife to the wedding? I guess if Pedro is OK w it...

Beam me up Scotty! Drinks for everyone!!

The cubs are a tourist destination

Its ok Tex, we all feel like this. ANd cu;b fans thought they were cursed

I see my Vikings are actually underdogs to the Packers this week, much of it due to the game is in GB That being said, I dont look for them to go too far in the playoffs, their defense can be porous and I'm not sure Cousins can pull off the big win when the games on the line I hope Im wrong

Yr probably right, unresponsive ears would be the correct word

If I was a bit younger, Id prob love the snow part as I grew up on downhill skis, Now at my age a wipe out would probably mean taking me out on a gurney!

Thank you hows things in Michigan City? Some lake effect snow yt>?

Egads I thought I was posting in Water Cooler thread, sorry I guess I cant follow instructions! Mods please move, sorry

Is weather OK to discuss? Im in the Galena area and its white out conditions now, so you know what to expect soon, be careful Sox talkers !!

Before COVID, I usually would volunteer at thee local soup kitchen to serve the homeless and less fortunate. It really made me count what little I have, but cant volunteer this yr as I;ll be out of town

Too bad the billboards message will fall on deaf ears....

First congrats on yr newborn son! Happy for you! I'm in my 60s and never married or had kids (the price I paid for being a player for most my life) but all my friends have told me theres nothing like having a kid, which I can believe. You care to comment on what its like? And despite minor annoyances, its gotta be the most wonderful feeling in the world! Good for you!

No way Ray. The only pitching he should do is on his prison team

The Vikings are my team! I've watched them lose all 4 super bowls? but I never expected this

Actually Tex thats the way to go, a little bit of Winter up North and the rest in the South, good plan ?

I was thinking the same, after all we are the White Sox and bad luck seems to follow us ?

Talk about sticking yr neck out, Yankees taking a huge risk, glad its not us

May as well bring back Daniel Palka

I hate to think someone would have to die in order to make me happy. Id never wish that. Like many have said, look what impact Dollar Bill WIrtz death made on the Hawks

Dead ass last. Depressing

Nice to have relatives in warm places! My sister was in St Pete (Florida not Russia) and I mooched off her for a few days a while back

Anyone have any big plans for Christmas or New Years? Ive got several options, nothing too earth shattering. Might hang out w my dysfunctional family
