Jarren Duran, 2024 All-Star MVP breakout Red Sox player, has been suspended for 2 games.

His Crime?

Saying faggot to a heckler.

Dude, he plays for Boston, I imagine Red Sox fans call each other faggots all the time. But hey, thanks for giving the Texas Rangers any advantage you can, lord knows we need it. (We're still going to get shit on)

I would buy his jersey if it wasn’t for the Bosox giving a faggot organization his paycheck.

Haven't posted in this thread for a while, but man am I happy with my Guardians. After a dismal 2023, I wasn't expecting such a strong comeback with a first year manager. The AL Central for the most part has been a fun division this year (except for the White Sox, the poor bastards) and I think there's a good chance Cleveland can make a deep playoff run.
 
I don't know how many of you know or even care but Professional Baseball Spirits 2024 - 2025 (Pro Yakyu series, and the latest iteration in 5 years) is coming out next month and it'll finally be making its debut on PC. For what it's worth I bought a copy of 2019 and it's probably the best baseball game I've ever played if you don't count the management side of things (OOTP). If you can get past the language barrier it's an incredible game.

This dude on OS explains how to get it on PC if you're not in Japan. Might seem like more work than it's worth but it really is that good.

The White Sox have been very entertaining for all the wrong reasons this year. It's very rare to get a chance to see a team this historically awful.

True. Still, despite the historic nature, this is just bad for baseball as a sport. Of course there's always going to be bad teams in any sport, but the Sox were so promising during the winter meetings 4 years ago. The drop off is black hole levels of bad.

I'm just tired of seeing the same shit on every social media post about them. More people want to complain about the name than cheer for the team. And it's usually MAWGISTACS (Middle-Aged White Guys In Sunglasses Taking A Car Selfie) that are the main culprits.

It's amazing how much heat the Ricketts get as shit owners in this town when you compare their record to Reinsdorf over two teams and 40 years.

1. The Ricketts are somewhat conservatives
2. Reinsdorf is a Jew
3. Sox fans are too black/brown to understand their problems come from Ownership.

White Sox fans understand they've never signed a player to a $100 million contract.

Two: Southside Irish ain't exactly black or brown, my guy.
 
Southside Irish are like Tolkiens Elves. A relic from the old ages, destined to fade from this world as they cluster in their remaining domains.. just instead of Elrod its a guy called O'B who will get six old styles deep and tell you Byfuglien might have been a nigger but he could fight

To be fair it's the only name change where they remotely put a fucking ounce of thought into it.

Not naming any teams that went by "FOOT BALL TEAM" ever. God I hope they all choke to death.

Phillies are on a 2 streak, after a ton of losses we are .3xx after all star break... I'm having childhood PTSD. They are playing so badly my mom is losing her crush on Alec Bohm.. What can you say, he's dreamy. No homo.

I learned my lesson with the Phillies in 83. They were in first place most of the year (but fired the start of the season manager, Pat Coralles, because management thought they weren't playing well enough). They made it to the post season and defeated the dreaded Dodgers in the NLCS. They won the first game of the WS against the Orioles, then proceeded to get their shit pushed in losing 4 straight. Since then I never allow myself to get my hopes up for the Phillies.

Even though I support the Dodgers (solely because a few players I like are on the roster), I am rooting for the Phillies to win the World Series.

I understand full well about the pessimism that Philly fans tend to have, but the team is just so balanced with talent across the board. They’ll hit a few snags here and there because of how random Baseball can be, but I believe in these kids.

Come on Philadelphia, make this old man proud.

If Cleveland holds on to win the division, and manages to finish at or near the top of the American League, I think we can officially call them "the best worst team ever".

- Patchwork starting rotation that can't make it past the sixth inning
- A lineup with maybe three hitters that can be considered better than decent
- Three positions (SS, CF, RF) in constant flux
- The offense tends to disappear for weeks at a time
- At least the bullpen is mostly excellent

Without looking, I challenge anyone to name a position player that isn't Kwan, Ramirez, or Naylor.
