What a relief! I thought I was paying way more for almost everything.

Seriously: Hate Digger all you want, but [pauses for flow of hate] movies like Digger are why we need studios. A world in which Digger doesn't get made one in which Sinners and One Battle also don't get made. You miss with Heaven's Gate and you still swung. You miss with Paw Patrol and you >

TV exec: We notice you put Abbvie logos all over the ballpark. MLB suit: Not everywhere, but we tried. TV exec: Want logos on the batter’s eye and the pitcher’s mound? MLB suit: Oh God, yes! Yes! Yes! TV exec: Just watch. MLB suit: Unnnnhhh! Yes!

Television's digital graffiti of superimposing advertising on surfaces where there is in reality no ad is an unwanted distortion of reality during sports coverage. When the technology goes haywire and blocks game action, it's more than merely annoying. It's enraging.

I’m not as upset these MLB playoff games are on subscription streamer Peacock as I am paying for all these junk-shaving ads.

Gorgeous day on the South Side for Game 162 with the playoff-bound White Sox playing host to the Rockies in 70 minutes. Big goals for the Sox: No injuries and don’t overuse the pitching staff.

CHSN announcer John Schriffen is off the payroll after today’s White Sox regular-season finale, right? I mean, unless Sox management has no respect for fans — not to mention analyst Steve Stone — and believes they deserve no better…

I thought turning it into a punchline was unfair. It was uneven, but sometimes great. I often rewatch the jury scene (“He’s Guilty”) and the scene with the addict mom about to sell her baby (“Sandman’s Coming”) from the pilot. Randy Newman used the latter song again in his “Faust” musical.

Beautiful September night for baseball on the South Side, where the White Sox meet the Rockies in their penultimate regular-season game. The playoff-bound Sox are still chasing a division title and the first-round bye that would come with it. First pitch is in 20 minutes.

Big night on the South Side, where a good-sized crowd is here for Hispanic Heritage Night, a poncho giveaway and fireworks, plus you know a division title to chase. White Sox and Rockies open their regular-season finale series in 15 minutes.

Leave it to John Schriffen to speak regardless of whether it adds anything to a White Sox broadcast. Steve Stone, after a reversed call results in a Sox walk: “So he’s aboard, and a good challenge.” Schriffen: “That is how you use the challenges.”

There a hospital group commercial that features fans watching a football game. Although it’s snowing, these people do not have jackets buttoned, snapped or zippered. They’re not as dumb as the dolts who apparently buy Allstate insurance, but they are not people with whom you would identify.
