I could understand if they said "Starting next year, no more antenna" but to take it away 3 months later with zero notice is just a complete disregard for the customers.

I don't even follow what she's trying to say. It makes no sense. That website sucks.

f*** these guys.

Bridgeport and Bronzeville may have seen a renaissance but there is nothing to do in short walking distance after the game. There are 2 bars near the ballpark and people just drink beers on the sidewalk after a game because there's not enough capacity. Last time I tried, we gave up and ended up taking an uber to a bar a few blocks from the 78 site. You bring up Chinatown... The 78 is probably closer and easier to get to Chinatown to than Sox Park is.

Teel’s days with the Sox are numbered. In 6 years, he will leave in free agency.

"Pyramids of Giza? Any child could do that. Constructing a baseball park in 2025 across the street from a Target? Insurmountable task for civilization."

Hahahahahahaha. what? Gotta watch out for the those dangerous violent criminals paying $2,500/month for 400 SF micro-apartments at NEMA. Thank god the current park is a whole entire single redline stop removed from this treacherous hellhole.

To me, this just means that there's no date certain that a sale must occur. Jerry has the option to sell until a certain point and then Ishbia controls the option. Theoretically, Jerry could choose to hold on to it and Ishbia could change his mind and not exercise his option to buy.

He just seems very confident about this and I was curious. If he is an engineer, in construction, or in real estate development, it makes his posts carry more weight than if he's just some opinionated dude in sales who is driving past the site or looking at it on google maps. Do you guys honestly think all these billionaires and real estate professionals haven't done feasibility studies on the site? Also, civil engineering has been a thing for like thousands of years. Not sure what you mean by that. You think the Great Pyramids in Egypt were constructed based on "common sense?"

Are you an engineer?

I don't understand why carriers wouldn't want local sports. That's the only thing keeping them alive. Last time I checked, MTV, one of the premiere cable brands, just shows that show called Ridiculousness 20 hours a day. Its a wasteland of nothing. There's no reason to subscribe without sports.

The 78 makes so much sense. This is a stupid idea.

Someone has a Costco membership and they get rid of it and announce to everyone its because they have a problem with the products and service at Costco. A little later, in a separate conversation, another person mentions they began to buy their olive oil from Costco and its made a big difference in their cooking. The first person responds by saying, "Costco is popular. If that's how you want to get your food, suit yourself. It wont be where I get MY OLIVE OIL" That is clearly not the same as "oh, I meant I just don't buy stuff at Costco because my membership lapsed... but I'm a huge fan of the Kirkland olive oil!" He's either full of s%*# or so bent out of shape about twitter that he can't stop talking about it. Both are weird. Another thing... He's being a dick to Brooke Fletcher who is just trying to give a cool little tidbit! She gives her report and he needs to insert himself in the story immediately and kind of shoots her down.

He probably doesn't know who pitching ninja is and is such a weirdo and thin skinned that his impulse is to trash anyone he associates with "twitter" because he read negative comments about himself. He's literally the exact opposite of Benetti. I remember during the LAA series that Bill Walton did, one of Jason's other guest partners was the tv writer, Michael Schur (who was also from the old Fire Joe Morgan blog). For about an inning or so, those two guys were like trying to guess exit velocities and launch angles. It was great. Two baseball nerds watching the game and goofing around. That's what I want in my announcer. Not some unknowledgeable insecure combative guy who tries to start fights with radio hosts and twitter accounts or tries to appeal to people he assumes are meatball south siders ("Ah, hell naw, we aint taking that!"). He has made me yearn for Connor McKnight, which is shocking.

Ok. I googled his name and saw a headline but it doesn't seem like its real/official. Sorry!

So no one claimed this guy and he's back in AAA? If I went by Soxtalk's reaction, I would have thought 29 teams would have jumped all over him.

Why did SoxTalk turn into an Alexander Canario themed message board? How good is this guy that there are 3 threads during opening week devoted to talking about him?

Who is our 8th inning guy?

NUMBER ONE OFFSEASON TARGET PAYING OFF

Is it just me or did they trade for Fletcher and sour on him almost immediately? Granted, he was bad... but still feels like he was in the doghouse from the jump.

Wait, we can get mlb.tv in market now?? I just bought an antenna and dvr device for it for $100!

You know there are a lot of potential outcomes in between Garrett Crochet-level breakout and failure. You act like Crochet's breakout was foreseeable. The thread announcing him as opening day starter a year ago was full of people criticizing the move and saying we had an opener starting game 1.

I think they made a decision to have that type of "analysis" as their brand. He goes on Bernstein/Holmes shows on 670 and its like "this is a smart fan's take" but he never says anything interesting or insightful. Its always the same old easy second guessing crap. I remember one time they were obsessing over some minor roster transaction like leaving Jake Peter off the 40 man roster before a rule 5 draft and that's when I decided to unfollow all of them. I also hate his voice. Jim isn't as bad. And Fegan is good... but I have no interest to subscribe to the patreon just for Fegan.

They are morons on that site who just like to b****. This is the least shocking news ever.
