More like following the mandate to talk up the team even if no one believes you.

Get those cheap seats now before they close the upper deck mid-season...

Uh, this team isn't built to overcome a one running deficit over 9 innings...

Hello Tim Elko!

Meh. Pretty bland. Hopefully he grows on me.

You'd think so the way Stone is singing his praises right now

Expect to see a lot of that too...

They certainly received their talking points for the spring.

CF wide shot looks awful

The tone deaf jump from shiny new plans to give me my new playground or else was awfully quick. JR deserves every ounce of added bile.

I am very pro new South Loop stadium, but goddamn do I not want JR to get one extra cent out of it. I know he will, but my loathe has only increased this week. It's a strange duality loving the team but hating the org and owner that runs it. I think the only way those of us that are for the new park will be totally happy is if JR & other investors foot the bill. And it's pretty much guaranteed that he won't. There will be negatives and downsides to a project of this scale. We just have to hope that this doesn't end up as another case of a billionaire owner getting even richer on the backs of working people.

Having lived in the South Loop when there was next to nothing as far as dining or nightlife, I believe it will be a draw, even on non game days. Printer's Row was the closest decent bar back then, and I had to trek to the northside or Wicker for better options most of the time. I don't think the detractors here really know just how few good options there are nearby.

What are your thoughts on the Polanco trade? That one felt very KW-finally-gets-his-man to me. About the only move they made that intrigues me was bringing in Raley. But with all of the subtractions I struggle to see how they are much more than a .500 club, even with their stellar staff. Rangers and Astros aren't going anywhere, and its tough to squint and even see Wild Card contention.

I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't crack 1M. Even the most diehard among us will find better ways to spend their summer nights.

Just wait until you behold Robbie Ray's glorious ass is the new pants ?

Yeah, it is totally believable and not at all surprising that he's taking this tactic, but no less insulting at the same time. As if we don't all know how he operates or that he's tried this move before. It's gross, and proves once again how out of touch he is.

Here come the not so veiled threats…??‍♀️ Also, Jerry, seriously, go f*** yourself.

Pack it in folks, Soxtalk's resident expert in urban planning and zoning law hath spoken...

Even in the unlikely event that he plays up to his current salary, I don't think there is any way the Sox pick up his option. There are cheaper options for a team nowhere close to being good, even if the kids aren't ready to step in right away.

I did a little digging and found some additional Sox games on opponent broadcasts. These are all listed on mlb.tv: 2/27 vs LAD - SNLA 3/1 vs CHC - MARQ 3/3 vs LAA - BSW 3/14 vs LAA - BSSC 3/16 vs Sea - RSNW 3/21 vs KC - BSKC 3/22 vs LAA - BSW 3/9 vs SD will be a Padres webcast

We are a special bunch

Anything short of an MVP caliber season and that option is not picked up. Even then I’d imagine his agent would want to take Yoan to FA to score a big long term deal.

Knowing Eloy’s propensity for injury, Sheets will be the opening day DH.

I recognized the name but had no recollection from whence he came.
