How much did you pay for heating during the polar vortex event a couple years ago? 

I heard it was a disaster.

Nothing, our power was out for 3 days so it didn't run. It was 11 degrees for two days and then It was back in the 50's-60's a few days later.

A generational storm is the exception, not the rule.

Yeah I didn't think that was a thing. I see not being able to announce one that is currently still in the playoffs, however.

It could be that MLB doesn't want announcements during the WS.  I know I've heard that before but was never sure how concrete it was.

Those are going to be more common. Good luck.

I got lucky and my power never went out since I live close to a fire station and I pay a constant rate for my electricity. But people who were on variable rate plans got fucked. All those smaller electric companies like Griddy went out of business cause their customers couldn't afford to pay the crazy ass prices which in turn meant they couldn't pay the providers.

You do realize that on average, we spend far more for heating up here than they do down there, right?  This argument is stupid and you know it.

Was the true the tweet that said the Sox interviewed Ozzie??

I pay more in gas for cooking than gas for heating in the winter lol. Winters here are pretty nice for the most part. Which is a big reason I don't want to move back to Illinois full time. Maybe when I become wealthy enough I'll buy a summer home in Illinois. 

You can cross off Bruce Bochy from the list.  He just signed with the Texas Rangers.

As long as we are talking weather, do you know since June 1st, it’s rained more in San Diego than Seattle?

Exactly...on the average...I rarely turn on the Heat or AC from late October to late March.
Windows open and shorts outside most of the "winter" months

Texas is actually willing to spend a lot of big money. We're not. We're better than the Rangers but the new manager wouldn't be stuck with a pretty much set roster in Texas.

These guys live in a rental during the season. Very few actually live in their towns all year. Chicago wins every year for favorite MLB road city. Location won’t hinder the search.

Texas has no state income tax.

Yeah...sitting outside in my pool, sipping cold beer is worse. You're right.

Don't forget to put out that patio chair to save your parking spot.

That doesn't matter too much. They get hit with a tax bill from stares with income tax based on days they managed there. It's pocket change to these guys.

Chances of Bochy passing on the White Sox for the Rangers because of state income taxes are slim to none.

Yes but he also broke that TLR was retiring. He does have sources.

Edited October 21, 20223 yr by maloney.adam

Hopefully he will be able to choose his own staff, but I would like to see Willie Harris somewhere on this staff as well as a bench coach
