@podoffame @baseball_ref Make a case? Sale is a no doubt HOF

Yesterday was a big day. Chris Sale made his 314th career start, matching Sandy Koufax’s career total. Now I would personally never pick Sale over Koufax, but if I was going to make a case for Sale to end up in Cooperstown, I would start here.

does anyone have any really terrible car takes? i'm talking like, indefensible. absolute dogwater.

@therealmcnair As an aesthetics guy you need a pro flare in the mix

I consider this my Mount Rushmore of gloves. Won’t be taking questions at this time.

@Mike_M_Klotz Previous gen is so much better

Looks like the cheapest used GX nationwide is still pulling north of $68,000 That’s crazy.

@DeAngelisCorey Can someone with a chunk of money buy 2 of these schools and run them properly just to prove a point?

Chicago has a public school with space for 912 kids, yet only 28 students are enrolled. The school is 97% empty. It spends $93,787 per student. It's staff to student ratio is 1:1. ZERO of the kids are proficient in reading.

@Adyksterhouse Obviously yes. What a stupid rage bait question

Do people think Illinois could exists without the GDP of Chicago?

@AngryVorosM @barstoolWSD I am in awe of this tweet

@barstoolWSD Sale was under control until 2019. From 17-19 he posted 14.4 WAR (and did his UCL early 2020). Moncada posted 14.5 with the White Sox, Kopech (who also did his UCL with the White Sox) was 4.8. So at least by WAR, it wasn't a bad trade. YMMV

Only one dude who was traded for Sale is still in MLB and he's on a paltry 1 year, $4MM deal Baseball needs to stop the whole losing intentionally bullshit because it's disgusting and has ruined the best game in the world

@jc_bradbury Did you even read the tweet?

I'm pretty sure there aren't any economics faculty members at the Kelley School of Business who think subsidizing an NFL stadium is a sound public investment, because all research evidence suggests otherwise.

@kylehillman You act like taxpayers in illinois get to choose what their hard earned money is wasted on

These folks are unserious. Taxpayers in Illinois are being buried in property tax and they only care about how quickly they can offer tax freezes to billionaires.

@DanButtersChi This is a rounding error in the model

I don’t think people realize Illinois collects state income tax from every player, from every game played in Illinois - no matter what team they’re on. Thats the tweet.

@MrDelicious13 Regress from what?

I was tryna make some #WhiteSox lineups today and not only did I not really enjoy it, but I fear an injury here and a regression there and this offense might stink. 😂

@FutureSox Spot on- Murakami no matter how good is not in a white sox uniform in 2028 which is clearly when this front office is eyeing as the start of any window. Jerry tapping into japan fans + developing trade piece for 27 trade deadline. Dont let him fool you, hes thriftier than ever

ESPN’s David Schoenfield gives the #WhiteSox a C in his final 2026 MLB offseason grades

@realroseceline Youre combining two trades into one which complicates things. The first trade was fantastic- he can redeploy the gains wherever he wants. Just bc hes back into the same thing does not really matter.

On paper, selling something at $200 after buying it at $7 looks like a brilliant masterpiece. It feels like you nailed it, the screenshots look legendary and the percentage gain sounds absurd. But almost nobody does or often times even considers the real math. I see this mistake made over and over again. If you bought at $7 and sold at $200, your gain is $193. After 30% long term capital gains taxes, that’s about $58 gone immediately. Now you don’t have $200 per share to redeploy, you have about $142. If the stock drops to $131 and you buy it back, you’re not capturing a 35% decline. You’re turning $142 into $131. That gives you roughly 8% more shares than before. After all these brilliant looking trades on paper and trying to time the markets you’re getting ONLY 8% MORE! That’s the real edge after a “perfect” sell and a 35% pullback. This is what most investors miss. They calculate price returns, not capital returns. Once you sell, Uncle Sam immediately becomes your largest partner and gets his cut. To overcome him, you need a very big reset, not just a 30% dip because such a pullback doesn’t justify the big tax bill you paid. The uncomfortable truth is that trading around great winners is much harder than it looks. Every time you sell, you shrink the base that compounds for you. Unless the valuation was insane or the fundamentals broke, you’re often just interrupting your own long term math. My point is not to ridicule this person. I do not know him, and for all I know he lives in a low tax jurisdiction where the math is different. The point is simply that most people do not know how to calculate their real returns, and the gap between paper profits and actual wealth creation is often much larger than you think. 🌹

@ChuckGarfien This is some premium Reinsdorf propoganda Chuck

So basically the Luis Robert Jr. trade is: White Sox trade Luis Robert Jr. and Gage Ziehl for Luisangel Acuna, Truman Pauley, Seranthony Dominguez, Austin Hays(not official yet), Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin and cash considerations.

@causeiexist @amazonmilkfrog For good reason. Generally speaking they pay all the taxes that are then frivolously spent by our awful govt. and they take more every year.

@amazonmilkfrog white suburban chicagolanders are some of the most cynical, whiny, and tiring people you can talk when the anything remotely relating to the state of Illinois, the city of Chicago, politics, taxes, money, etc is brought up

i do not believe 20% of illinoisans think illinois is the worst state to live in. yeah downstate sucks but every chicagoan i know is like "yeah chicago owns. probably the greatest city in the country".
