Nicoletta Penguin @nicoguin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Chicago sports media feels like it has wider/more entertaining lanes. I've heard more salty/zany language from players-analysts-broadcasters since hopping on the bandwagon in May than in decades of NYC. David Cone can politely be as brutal, but it's more fun when everyone shoots from the hip. 010

Nicoletta Penguin @nicoguin.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As of yesterday afternoon in NYC, White Sox gear is no longer an invisibility cloak.
