I've never purchased enough overpriced stadium beer to get shitfaced but I've absolutely arrived at the game already there

We do a double header at Wrigley and Comiskey every year and that year we had some kind of all-you-can-drink package for 90 mins before the second game at Comiskey. I couldn't go to the early game that year so I felt like I had to catch up...mistake

I’m already fully vaccinated (yay hospital work... :negative:) but here in Illinois, they’re giving shots to anyone over the age of 65, those with chronic health issues (diabetics, immune compromised, etc.) , and anyone working in food service, manufacturing, etc (basically if you’re an “essential worker.”)

It’s drat near impossible to get one in Chicago, but the state National Guard has a mass vaccination center at the state fairgrounds and they’ll take any Illinois resident though will take priority for those who qualify for the current phase. I believe they’re opening a 2nd location over at the United Center in Chicago.

The UC one is rolling with 1B+ as of a couple days ago, which is sweet.

wow yeah he was only *checks notes* 612 hits short

so close, so very close

It's been a fun meme for much longer than, say, a pandemic coming around and stealing 2/3 of a season

Also he'd been healthy as a horse until 2019 barring some issues in 2012.

It’s going to be a hosed up winter. Correa, Baez, Story, and Seager all free agents with 3 of those teams signaling they aren’t serious about retaining said shortstop. Yankees get their pick of the bunch while a lockout makes it all moot?

Which 3? Feels like we're trying to make a play for Baez.

While I'm sure it's service time fuckery, Nico's 2020 ended up mediocre enough where I don't mind him getting more time to hopefully continue mashing against AAA pitching. It REALLY seems to have helped Happ. Almora shoulda had the same thing.

There is a good argument that the Yankees should've traded Gleyber Torres last season. It's as big of an open question as to what exactly he is as a player, as it's been in his career. It's getting more and more clear that the Yankees have stuck with this core for too long and the longer they wait to make really big changes, the more their assets are depreciating.

between this and Eloy's funeral, it's clear that Theo did nothing wrong

Wow Bao is bad

Much like the Cubs

Oddly even knowing that we've only faced lovely batting teams so far, I'm pretty happy about the rotation. Unfortunately all the bats are trash and Krimbel is the only good reliever.

Bauer can simultaneously be the reigning cy young winner, a horrible chud, and a dude who choked in the world series five years ago. Nothing there is contradictory in a single poster's opinion
