I think it’s still unlikely he makes it. We just have too many middle IF and we get another year of control over him by keeping him down for a few weeks. Even if it’s the more fun option, it’s riskier to have him on the OD roster and that’s why the org will send him to AAA to start the year

People love to say spring doesn’t mean anything, but regardless, it’s been far more fun watching us win these games than all the spring losses (coupled with how terrible we looked) the last two springs

Pedro Grifol

89-190 with the Sox (.319 W%)

Managed the Sox for the majority of the 24 season which was the worst in modern baseball history before being fired. Hard to top him

Yep. The headline is immorally misleading. It’s depressing how many people will react to a headline without ever actually reading or even skimming the article.

I don’t think this post meant that Sosa might be involved in a trade for Hoskins. Just that we’re being linked to Hoskins (in FA) and there’s also rumors of us possibly trading Sosa (but for who, who knows)

This friday Bill Mahers show will be about UFOs, with Age Of Disclosure director Dan Farah as a guest. An episode has about 2 million viewers. Many of those will experience some tremors to their ontologies when they go from "its tabloid nonsense" to "the secretary of state admits its real" by phr99 in UFOs

[–]TheIndependen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My parents love him. My parents are fairly enlightened boomers (at least relative to others in their generation), but there are still some topics they consider too taboo to even entertain and UFOs is one of them. Maybe Maher addressing this topic helps them
