MLB The Show announced a new game mode in Road to the Show called Women Pave Their Way.
For the first time ever, players can create and play as a female player 👏

This legit pissed me off. This was formerly named Loretta’s Lounge after Loretta Micele. She worked concessions for the Sox for 60 years. They dedicated it to her during the 2005 World Series. She gave so much to the organization and replacing her name to that of TLR is shameful.
If you're not gonna count Barry Bonds' home runs, I definitely don't have to count the Yankees championships that came before Black people were allowed to play.
Then suspend the entire league.
All of them.
Every. Single. Player... or do we only care about this because he was caught by a poorly placed boom mic? MLB suspending a player for a self-inflicted wound is peak MLB, constantly passing the buck.
Gracias a Dios que la mayoria de
If the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence dressing up as nuns is offensive to Catholics, I can only imagine how offensive it is to baseball players when Trevor Williams dresses up as a pitcher.
Trevor Bauer has been hated in every single locker room he’s ever been in. He’s been an ass for his entire social media life. He’s so unlikable and yet still so many dudes felt the need to cape for him. “We just thought he hated women in the normal way, not in the criminal way.”
The Dodgers generate an insane amount of revenue. It’s a good thing their owner is spending it on players.
The real issue is that the Dodgers share a ton of their revenue with teams like the A’s, Reds, and Pirates whose owners choose to pocket the money instead of spending it.
Chicago is nice and all, but I do wonder what is in the water there that makes Chiagoans act like this on the internet, just a next level commitment to boosterism
I just wish people like Lightfoot had an ounce of empathy. Like even if you disagree with CTU, it doesn’t mean you have to take every opportunity to insult our character. 20,000+ educators are telling you that they don’t feel safe, both for themselves and for their students.
Letting this anti-LGBTQ organization promote themselves inside your ballpark is shameful. It’s also why rainbow capitalism is bullshit. Don’t even have a pride night if you’re also gonna do this.
The Trevor Bauer thing didn’t come out of nowhere. He had a pattern of targeted harassment. And still dudes didn’t see it. What scares me most is that every guy has someone in their personal life who fits into the same category and not seeing it has horrific consequences.
Imagine if someone said they drink and drive because it's a complicated issue and they have never had any issues doing it.
People need to stop treating anti vaxxers as if this is an issue that has two equal sides. Rizzo and those like him are wrong and we need to say it.
There’s a lot of baseball fans who don’t understand how isolating being the only African American person in a room can be. Tim has said how awful it felt his rookie year. And this entire weekend has shed light on basically no one in the org having his back.
Getting abandoned by your closest ally has to be a sign that it’s truly over. Age comes for everyone and it’s clear he just can’t do the job anymore. His decline has been visible for years. Still, I’m surprised Pedro Grifol was so quick to move on from Martín Maldonado.
“No new taxes” is code for “instead of using these tax dollars on schools and transportation, we are using them to build the Bears a new stadium despite their current one being perfectly fine.”
Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson says the building of a new Bears stadium will "result in NO new taxes on the residents of Chicago." He repeats himself to make sure that part is clear - the building of a new stadium does not call implementing new taxes or raising current taxes on
Also, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence help the poor, sick, and the marginalized. If you're saying they're mocking Christianity, you are making a great point but it's not the one you think you're making.
Illinois is the first state in the nation to eliminate cash bail today.
A standard used to punish poverty instead of upholding justice, it kept those without means in jail for months as they awaited trial.
We're reforming our criminal justice system to right this wrong.
So often public safety comments from politicians feel like “we need to protect us from *them*” and it’s so refreshing that Brandon Johnson didn’t do that. The youth who were downtown last night are Chicagoans too, so caring about them is important.
Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson on last night’s chaos in the Loop: “In no way do I condone the destructive activity we saw in the Loop and lakefront this weekend. It is unacceptable and has no place in our city. However, it is not constructive to demonize youth…”
If you are a White Sox fan, there has only been one year in your life where you got to see them win a playoff series. This idea that the fanbase is overly negative is ridiculous.
The Sox might be the worst run baseball organization of the last 50 years. And yet, they're the 15th most valuable MLB org per Forbes. That's entirely due to the fact that they play in one of the greatest cities in the world. They need Chicago way more than Chicago needs them.
