Joe’s Notes: Jerry Reinsdorf Doesn’t Solve the White Sox’ Problem
Plus: the David Ross complaints, the core John Fisher problem, the Royals’ ballpark plans, the Nick Lodolo what-if, Chris Jones’s holdout, Rashan Gary’s return, Reggie Bush’s lawsuit, Ohio State’s new president, Jaden Rashada, and Marcus Ericsson.
Stu’s Notes: JJ Watt Celebrated National Milk Day
And! #NotAllMinnesotans, Bears fans stay silly, and the Verlander–Alex Cora spat somehow comes back to Joe Kelly.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, August 23rd
Going for six straight.
Stu’s Notes: The Air Raid? At Wisconsin?!
This feels inappropriate. Also: the Knicks had a mole, Joe Mixon had a quote, Bears fans had an idea, Javy Báez had a double, NASCAR has a docuseries, and a little more info on the Cuban Little League coach.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, August 22nd
Look West.
Joe’s Notes: Does the NFL Make Other Sports Hate Each Other?
The NFL’s dominance of sports appetite creates an illusion of starvation elsewhere. Also: Wander Franco’s latest, Luis Castillo’s fastballs, the White Sox might move, college baseball’s rising, Drew Smyly’s starting, Jirehl Brock’s leaving, Rutgers gambled on Jeremiah Williams, and some NASCAR game theory.
Today’s Best Bet: Monday, August 21st
The Mariners and Brewers weren’t the only ones who swept the weekend.
Stu’s Notes: Jim Harbaugh Is Suspending Himself
Also: A new hawk at Saint Joe’s, a new court at Alden-Hebron, a new haircut for our dog, and plenty to talk about with Gunnar Henderson, Joe Kelly, Javy Báez, and Little League Baseball.
Joe’s Notes: The Astros Are in Two Places at Once
Contending is hard to do while rebuilding. Also: The Cubs, the Packers, Djokovic v. Alcaraz, Spain’s soccer coach, and a little Little League.
