Hey Davis, how many strikeouts do you have tonight so far? #WhiteSox

From your point of view, what makes watching baseball uniquely better than any other sport? Other than the unique outfield walls, I love watching fielders lock in when a pitch is thrown then immediately relaxing like they're on their front porch with a lemonade. There's many other things too.

It's very cold across most of the country, so to counteract that, quote-post a favorite photo from a summertime baseball game. June 27th Giants at Sox Included the Flo Rida post game concert

I like the move, honestly.

The White Sox weren’t necessarily on anyone’s radar as a front-runner to sign Murakami, but given the direction the team seems to be headed, this makes sense. Where does Murakami fit in with a young Sox roster?

The White Sox are in a position that many contenders are not, namely that they can afford to take a chance on a high-risk, high-reward player like Murakami. If he strikes out twice a game for the first month of the season, there won’t be the pressure to bench him that would come with playing for a contender with great expectations. Chicago can give Murakami time to figure things out, and if he does, the Sox will either have a potential building block or a prime trade candidate.

Tonight's #spookymovieoctober selection was "Jennifer's Body" (2009). I loved it! It was surprisingly funny. Really good production and cinematography. Not overly scary. It was a fun watch. Something I'd watch again next year. 5 out of 5 pumpkins from me 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Started off my #spookymovieoctober with "Late Night with the Devil" (2024). It was unique and weird. Subverted expectations. Not *overly* scary or creepy. Actually a bit fun with some camp. A nice start to the season. It gets 4 out of 5 on the pumpkin scale. 🎃🎃🎃🎃

Definitive proof on an Easter (and baseball) themed school project from 1993 that I was indeed a White Sox fan. #WhiteSox

Picked up this great enamel pin from Chicago based Big League Pins. Looks even better in person. They've got some other awesome pins too on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/BigLeag... Almost got the can of corn pin... I still might.

I kind of like the Fresh Pets commercial with the Sopranos/ gangsters theme because very rarely does a commercial go as far as insinuating murder.

Before and after of a nice little metal cabinet I picked up for my office to hide the mess of wires for our printer, router, and media server. My brain likes this very much 🥹

BEFORE: Little printer table with other electronics and wires going everywhere.

AFTER: Nice, bigger cabinet with doors and printer on top hiding all the previous wires.

My wife found this at the Dollar Tree for $1.25. We now own it. She didn't look too close and couldn't exactly remember who Tim Tebow was. She just thought it was a nice planner. When I did the pray/kneel thing for her she was like "Aw shit, that guy?!"
