OT: Other Sports 83

[No Fun Shogun]

I can't help but think that the Cubs pulled their classic "make enough noise and make a decent enough of an offer to appear like they're trying, but not really" move.

I was expecting an even bigger drop, unless they mean that their viewership declined from 100 houses to 37 and viewership was always miserable.

I was yesterday years old when I learned he was 40.

As a fellow ginger beard I can't help but love Justin Turner.

 

[Crow]

I was yesterday years old when I learned he was 40.

I guess I didn’t know who he was until he was 29. Weird

I guess I didn’t know who he was until he was 29. Weird

I'd imagine that is the case for most. He just kind of came out of nowhere and was a late bloomer who turned into having a great career.

Neat, missed that Ireland and New Zealand are playing at Soldier Field in November.

Ireland vs. New Zealand rugby rematch coming to Soldier Field this fall

“This is more than just a game. This is an historic moment in the making, bringing the best of global rugby to our great city,” Mayor Brandon Johnson told a news conference at Soldier Field Tuesday.

Caught a match ages ago in the city, always thought that international friendlies should be a more common thing at Soldier Field.

(SPRING TRAINING) OPENING DAY!

Just got a glorious popup on my phone during my lunch break.

Cubs were cooking today in the desert.

And forgot to mention, but went to an Illinois Wesleyan game over the weekend. Hot damn, the pace of basketball without commercials is amazing. D3 is the best. Can't beat $5 seats.

Plus man, their court was a lot better than my alma mater's court, albeit my school was a football school and IWU is pretty clearly a basketball school.

If you live near a D3 program, take advantage.

 

[GIADF]

You’d have to pay me to go to a D3 sporting event event.

This is wonderful news.

One of those Ed Short finds who thrived for Sox in 60's only to be traded for crap

Fisher won WS with O's after trade so worked out for him

Cubs are a wagon. 162-0 incoming

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Best February team of all time, baby.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I honestly give no shits about White Sox at this point

Infact MLB as a whole I dont really care about at this point with not only the absurd have vs have nots growing divide but the game today is pretty terrible and Manfred seems set on bastardizing it even more

Feels very much like how I stopped giving f*** about Bulls and NBA much years ago

 

[hawksfan50]

And you thought tge Blackhawks were awful (which they are) BUT dem White Sox ...0-4 start in spring Training ..12 Runs For 36 agaibst in 4GP ..-24 differential= -6 rubs a game!

How you gonna Winans doing that?

If anyone is watching the Mich/OSU hockey game, you just heard the most bizarre way a ref called a penalty ever.

Insane.

Ok..
1. Ayo is a tough f***ing kid.
2. Bulls medical staff at it again.
3. Reinsdorf with these cheap ass staffs on both sides of town are the reason why the players are always getting injured.

Chicago might have the worst medical staffs in the entire country when it comes to sports. What gross negligence. FIVE shoulder dislocations and they never f***ing X-ray'd it????
