Lawyer in NYC. Formerly Minor League Editor and still occasionally at Baseball Prospectus and others. Outlasted the White Sox Rebuild but at what cost?
Also the White Sox did not deserve anyone rooting for them in 2024. Don’t brag about being a mark.
BK?@whitesox.bsky.social · 9h agoThis better than thou BS pisses me off especially because the team hasn’t done anything yet. They’ve had three good months that’s it. 
It rules that Infantino gave a whole video like “my plan was free money it was clearly a good idea but oh well” like two days ago and now he’s like “I see it was a huge mistake uwu I’m sowwy”
Buckley is criticizing people (good, allowed) for criticizing Rodgers / Cunningham (bad, rude, wrong) for criticizing people (good, allowed).
The Athletic@theathletic.com · 18h agoAaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D
Clearly stuff has improved with the White Sox that I never expected so I can obviously be wrong but this deadline feels really weird and dumb.
Chris Getz is one Miguel Vargas breakout away from having a truly egregiously bad trade track record
People complain when there are super teams and people complain when There Are No Great Teams so consider as you cast about for solutions.
The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A but also you could do a few other Radiohead trios
Mia Murphy 🏳️⚧️@miamurphy.com · 4d agoWhat's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
I’m still saying Luis Castillo like Lisa says “Jeremy Irons” in the anagrams game
And I think like 15-20 fanbases would trade places with Mets fans
April Glick Pulito@aprilglick.bsky.social · 4d agoI just don’t think it’s fair that we had to endure Pete Alonso being allowed to walk without an offer AND being deadline sellers in less than 9 months time I hate it here so much I hate David Stearns I hate the Mets
Is the salary cap also going to make the Dodgers have a bad farm system?
Did the White Sox turn the No. 3 pick they tanked for into expensive washed Luis Castillo
My friend just pointed out that Meidroth sounds like a Silmarillion character and I don’t know how I missed that
This is already the 5th time this season that Miguel Vargas, Munetaka Murakami and Colson Montgomery have homered in the same game That’s tied for the most by any teammate trio in a season since at least 1900 10th instance h/t @EliasSports
This offseason the White Sox should trade Fedde for something good again and then when he's bad for that team, re-sign him when they DFA him for him to be a serviceable SP5 again.
CNBC having Ed on is a recession indicator.
Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · last wk.Here's my interview with CNBC on how Zuckerberg's vacuous talking points about AGI and open source exist to distract from how Meta burned $180bn in capex (and more off-balance-sheet) to make also-ran LLMs that don't deliver an iota of the promise of "personal superintelligence."
When you actually believe in something to your moral core, it is easy to say so and to say why. That's it. The same for things like ending homelessness or feeding hungry children. Voters appreciate voting for more than an empty suit! The fact Dems believe in nothing is why they lost in 24!
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 7d agoI really struggle with what I think optimal messaging from a Dem running statewide in, say Iowa, Texas or Ohio is on this. Beshear one model, obviously.
Was having a conversation with someone--how many Hall of Fame 1B are active right now? Freeman? Anybody else?
The Covid era Guardians were cheating so hard hahaha
You think that’s cool? I invented a machine that can do every possible health test for you with a drop of blood.

Number two, we are going to make sure that our first wishes broadly benefit humanity” - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI — This is definitely the opposite of Anthropic’s AI kills all jobs pitch.
The White Sox really should’ve kept Derek Hill I guess
Without coming down on The Mariners Dilemma, when has Ken shown any ability whatsoever to provide sound baseball evaluation? Like at all
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · last wk.Mariners are two games out of a playoff spot with one of the best pitching staffs in baseball and arguably the top prospect arm in the minors
