In general it hasn’t been thought to be that effective. It draws a substantial amount of resources because police respond whenever it sends out a message, but it has led to very few actual arrests.

I’d wait until tomorrow to see if this makes any sense somehow, but if you were there, you should at least send an angry message to them. I’m not sure if you’d have a case to contact a lawyer for that, maybe?

That’s bizarre too, there’s no way it went more than an hour before someone reported “hey there was a gunshot in the bleachers people are bleeding and police are flooding in wE might not be able to do the concert?”

There still the more than slightly big issues of the game continuing and how someone got a gun into the park.

Maybe Twitter is just this broken that there’s tons of video and photos but no one shares breaking content any more.

The person linked here labels himself as CBS Chicago but of course that’s not verified.

Did they clear out an outfield seating section at any point?

It seems pretty clear at this point there was some sort of incident. Will edit the thread title as details fill in. There seem to be several reports that it happened during the game and they played on, which seems particularly unbelievable?

I believe the grey check marks are reserved for government officials.

I could certainly believe that major media might withhold until there was an official statement, but even with Twitter being half destroyed it does seem like we’d have video or photos or something.

Shooting stuff split into its own thread since people may care about that after tonight.

Tied for the most runs the As have scored this year.

There continues to be an image of Steve Stone in the "posted images" frame next to this post.

I'll admit, I love the idea of Joe Willie Namath alongside General Grant accepting the southern surrender.

So you're saying Jerry Reinsdorf pays as few employees as possible and isn't particularly interested in the quality of customer experiences? Huh.

Naw, a whole bunch of people fully believed that the White Sox had a strong roster that would at least contend for the AL Central or even in some cases run away with it. Some of us saw how this was likely to go, but it wasn't a consensus.

Considering that the buyout is $5 million and the option is $25 million, what exactly are we talking about when we say "he's playing for a new contract" if he isn't trying to at least earn $20 million in that new contract? That's all the new money in there if the option is picked up. We're going to hold onto him because he'll be motivated by the prospect of a 2 year/$15 million contract and that makes him worth keeping?

I don't have access to their BP numbers, but both DRS and Fangraphs/UZR find them both to be positive defensive catchers. Hedges is a little more positive this year, but Seby was just as good last year. This isn't an upgrade worth any money.

Hedges is being paid $5 million this year and literally has a .454 OPS. This is a great example of why I say the White Sox should pair Lee with Seby Zavala next year, he's just as bad as Hedges, but he's also much cheaper!

That inning Neal Cotta pitched in game 1 was ROUGH. (He might be kinda referring to the El Duque game, but he didn't phrase it right).

"Guillen rides the bullpen hard in the playoffs" What?
