To make a ban bet official, you need somebody else to accept the ban bet as well. Nobody here has the guts to do it. I haven't legitimately lost a ban bet here. 

Back already????  I'll make you a bet that you'll be back again, care to wager?

Hopefully Cairo can have a training session on the effects of the lip of the grass on a baseball.

Seems like a really solid hire.

This whole thing continues to point toward Jirschele taking over for 23 season.

I wonder if McEwing moves back to 3B.  That would be odd that TLR would not keep him around. 

Why do you say that? This kind of makes me think Cairo is being groomed as the manager in waiting.

I was thinking Jirschele would've been put on the major league staff if that was the plan.

I dont profess to be a baseball expert but am no novice either but what exactly does a Bench Coach do? Advise the manager? I dont recall this position 40 yrs ago, correct?

I'm sure it can depend, but on a lot of teams the bench coach actually runs a lot of what the manager wants to do in practices. So his background is nice, hopefully will help our infield defense which had started to become an asset last year.

I don't know about the White Sox past or present, but I do know that a lot of teams have the bench coach pretty much run spring training, complete planning and day to day running of things.

F this. I'm rooting for the northside next year. 

This could be your most sensical post yet. I'm telling ya, there's something innate in the cub fan, latent or otherwise, that can be sniffed out like a phermone. You don't exactly know what it is, you just know it like a sixth sense.

Must be similar to my pheromone that swoons the ladies

I've been away from this board, so I might not understand...

Are we all supposed to beg this kid to stay now? Is that his deal?
