Scott Merkin

TF is this guy talking about? What a MASSIVE first pitch! Belmont Cameli!

I mean I like him in that he is a big Sox fan and turned down the Cubs. But christ, WHAT WAS MERKIN THINKING?

RIP Don Cooper

He apparently passed away according to Joey Cora's Instagram. Total Sox legend and one of the best to ever do it.

Wikelman Gonzalez DFA'd

ERA over 6 in AAA but 12.4 K/9. Interesting move given what else is on the 40 man. Hopefully he can sneak through waivers.

Sox sign 20 of their 21 draft picks and 5 minor league free agents.

This is per the White Sox themselves. They will not sign their 20th round pick.

Interesting monetary notes from James Fox of Future Sox and ESPN Jesse Rodgers. 2nd pick Thome will be underslot. 3rd pick Prosek will get well overslot equivalent to the 30th pick. This makes the Gonzalez trade in context make a lot more sense.

6th round pick Weingartner signed for the equivalent of the 64th pick. 11th round pick Casteel signed for equivalent of the 69th overall pick. 5th round pick Scolari will get slot. Overall Sox will likely have 6 of the top 70 in terms of money. Roch of course broke the bonus record.

They've signed 5 free agents. Most intriguing being the MAC pitcher of the year Nathan Leininger. Luke Lawrence may be one to watch given the praise for him out of UK/Brother Rice. Also signed Garret Cleavingers brother.

Lefty caught burning a cross with a MAGA hat in the middle of Chicago's Millennium Park

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/person-of-interest-in-grant-park-cross-burning-incident-speaks-out/3949153/

This story received big headlines in Chicago when it happened a few days ago. Oddly havent heard much on it since. But yeah this moron burned a cross in the middle of Chicago's famous park. Now given that the city is Ground Zero for MAGA country, lot of headlines alongside the rest of reddit jumped on this act of hatred. In a shocking turn of events, it was a lefty who did it...trying to prove God knows what. He then just decided to speak to the press. Okay then. On Trump:

>"I don't want to wait till his term ends," he said. "I don't wanna wait until he may or may not get impeached. I want him gone right now.”

Thomas Massie vs Ed Gallrein tonight. Who you got?

Most expensive primary House race in history. Massie was a huge favorite as of a week ago but the polls have suddenly flipped. Odds now show Galrein 60% chance to win. I would prefer to see Massie out so I hope that happens.

If I were to go to the match this saturday, would it be crowded? Seems they are playing a bigger stadium than they normally would. How popular are the matches?
