mastershakeman posted:holy lol at TLR being BACK I'm old as gently caress, but I went to the game previous to him being announced as a White Sox manager the first time in '79. Burying the lede to the story, but I think the Yankees also solved their Gary Sanchez problem. It was also Thurman Munson's last game.

I hope Jerry Reinsdorf is soon able to work with his good friend George Steinbrenner in designing a perfect manager and lineup for heaven's team. Wait, take your poo poo rear end son and Kenny Williams too. I feel like I'm getting to mcmagic levels. Gonna step back for a bit.

Jose Abreu wins AL MVP. To think the White Sox were "this close" to not resigning him this year even at a home town discount. At least every other decision the front office has made has been sound.

R.D. Mangles posted:It is pretty funny that Len and Benetti, two analytically minded guys, are now stuck justifying la russa bullpen moves. No question La Russa is an abhorrent human, but from a purely baseball perspective I'm not as worried as I was about the pitching staff and their management now that the guy that magically fixed Giolito is the pitching coach. Also how great is it that the Sox went from Hawk and Ed Farmer to Benetti and Kasper in 3 years.

Why does this organization keep balancing out every good thing they do with a lovely thing?

I hope I'm not being too dense, but I'm not sure why they are changing the name. Most of the past imagery surrounding the team and some of the wording are offensive, but is the nickname itself offensive? Or is this a business decision to make a clean break and start over so idiots will have to stop cosplaying as chief wahoo at games?

Story is offset by Trevor Bauer also using that picture to get ready before his starts.

The Ricketts' are too highly leveraged in the Iraqi dinar and must sell off assets.

Like, I'm a Twins fan and I was actually getting pumped about heading down Red Line when things calmed down. But nope. Let's just take all that youthful energy and squander it. It might be a pipe dream, but I really don't see this team letting that happen. Unless Adam Eaton is able to bring back clubhouse leader Drake LaRoche, I don't see them going for it. Not to say it won't turn out hilariously terrible, but it won't happen without blowing the team up.

Wondering if the Cubs ever talked to Darvish. Judging by his tweets I'm not sure they did?

I thought I remembered Schwarbs having defensive value. Was that just 3rd base coaches running on a strong left field arm that was always out of position?

I'm overjoyed, because assuming there is a ceremony this year that means that the 2020 inductees get all the time, and y'all bastards have to listen to Hawk Harrelson spend 20 minutes hearing him opine on TWTW.

I'm trying to figure out why fewer regular season + expanded playoff games is a no-go, I'm assuming because even though the # of games is similar the profit potential isn't, and there is no way the owners will share an equitable amount?

I think cheating should be like it is in wrestling, and if the ump catches a team cheating the manager comes out to distract him and the team cheats even harder

Sad to see that Pedro Gomez passed today. Don't know anything about him personally but I appreciated his reporting.

I genuinely wonder if the 3rd strike on a foul bunt rule caused as much consternation as the runner on second when it got put in. It seems just as arbitrary and was implemented for what I assume are very similar reasons, and now it's just accepted.

If you thought Joe West's completely arbitrary calling of balks are bad, wait til you see how sassy he would get allowing only certain batters to step out.
