Rick and Kenny also had to deal with a cheap ass teardown before building it up (and then spent the money very poorly). And they also convinced Jerry to extend the young "core" early because it would save them money. Not much has changed aside from modernizing the front office and international dept

I suspect that Chuck is less of a carry water guy and more of a genuine positive homer. Like, Candide - Voltaire level toxic positivity even though he probably means well. Getz, on the other hand, is definitely spinning his budget restrictions with corporate PR. "He understands. He does."

I have to imagine the Ellison's are perfectly happy to fund a failed network if it means one less mainstream source of narrative they cannot shape. Not too unlike Elon and X

"an opportunity to be creative" does a lot of heavy lifting here. We get it, Chris, "we do"

Can’t remember who said this but I like it: β€œChicago is known as the city of big shoulders, not bent knees”

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation.

Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

Giving unemployed psychopaths tactical uniforms, 50k and guns is not the smartest idea

If they even sniff 100 again next year it would be hard to justify the GMs employment but I’m sure Reinsdorf is the one owner who would

Continued development plus β€œgetting a bit more creative in creating runs” does not instill much confidence or optimism that next year will be much different. But hopefully the depth signings aren’t all guys who don’t belong in the majors like we had first half.

People need to expand their definition of political violence. I see people saying it has no place in America despite it being our national pastime.

Unlucky and underlying promise with one solid streak every year was the entirely of his Sox tenure. Not saying he can’t figure it out but I am saying that I doubt it

the tweets were funny for a few minutes but the second the dems get people to like something they beat it like a dead horse because fundraising is always more important than helping people

Do the sox carry two bad defensive utility players in 2026 (Sosa and Baldwin)? Because it sure seems like they will

Pretty grim, but that's Reinsdorf baseball. I guess their "sell" will be to check out all the injured pitchers that are back now

A very Reinsdorfian effort from the Twins. That's AL Central baseball, baby.

Vaughn always had a multi-week power streak on the Sox, too. I'm no expert, but I'm guessing the 5 year sample size is more exemplary than the last 15 games
