COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
I'm having surgery this Thursday so took my first COVID test this morning completly painless and barely invasive, hell I've dug deeper for boogers Sorry so crude! In reading this board I'm reminded of the vast political divide between the Metro area and the rest of Illinois. I live in rural Northwest area of the state where its mostly conservative in stark contrast of the liberal area of the city. Its always interesting to get a 2nd view...

2020 Election Thoughts
Well looks like we are taking steps to a Socialistic nation, dangerous thing. Soon we all may be comrades in the USSA! What are the GOP'ers mad about? Joe got more votes be in from cadavers, illegals or repeat voters! Plus the Republicans now have 4 yrs (or 4 months) of having fun w Joe the gaffe machine which there will be new daily content! Celebrate Republicans and enjoy giving Uncle Joe the Trump treatment!!

IIRC the Sox were kind enough to carry his brother Hank on the roster for a year to qualify him for a pension, was this correct? How old school is that??

La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
Tonys alcohol issues aside, what worries me is JR's inability or should I say unwillingness t to fire someone who isnt living up to standards, aka Robin V. If Tony is a bust how many yrs must we endure him? Not to sound depressing but JR likely doenst have many more years left

Sox hire Cairo as bench coach
I dont profess to be a baseball expert but am no novice either but what exactly does a Bench Coach do? Advise the manager? I dont recall this position 40 yrs ago, correct?

Judge Tony LaRussa by results, not process
They must have had 2 different cushions, mine had the Sox batter holding a bat logo. So 75 yr anniversary would have been 1985, wasnt Comiskey built in 1910?? But thanks for the pics!! BTW I still have mine too:)
