@ChicagoSportsIQ @MaxMannis @C1McKnight @Plesac19 Huge thanks to @C1McKnight for always making time for fans in Boston!

Keep crushing Down in the Farm and News & Notes.

Still can’t believe you remembered when @ami_strick and I distracted Cade Smith. 😂

One of the best! Legend! #WhiteSox

@MaxMannis @GeneHonda_FC Fenway started a “Yankees Suck!” chant.

I did my civic duty and yelled, “GREEN BAY SUCKS!”

Wrong sport? Maybe.
Wrong city? Definitely.
Worth it? Absolutely.

@MaxMannis Big thanks to @MaxMannis! Be sure to check out @MaxMannisPod if you haven’t already, definitely worth a listen! 🎙️

@MaxMannis Mike Vasil is a wizard! 🧙‍♂️ Unfortunately, we couldn’t cast the spell we needed to win this one. 😔 Sorry, Yankees fans! Hopefully we bounce back in Game 2. Drove all the way from Chicago for a blowout, but we’re still believing! 🤍🖤 #WhiteSox #Yankees

"The whole lineup came ready to attack."

For one series at least, the Mets were an offensive juggernaut:

San Francisco Giants OF Jung Hoo Lee becomes the first Giants' player in franchise history to hit an inside-the-park home run at Dodger Stadium.
Giants 2, Dodgers 2 (5th inning).

Four walks for Junior Caminero today; he got 41 for the 2025 season. The Cardinals basically refused to throw him fastballs.

JUST IN: Two victims were killed and several were injured from an apparently targeted shooting at an ice skating rink in Rhode Island, authorities said. https://t.co/dxi1Gvnluq

RUMORS: It's possible that the #Steelers show interest in Packers' Luke Getsy and Jason Vrabel for their vacant OC job or other high roles on staff, per me (@tannerphifer, and @NFLRums)

LA Rams @ Chicago Bears Playoff Breakdown 🏈

🔍 Matchup Overview
• The Rams are top 3 in almost every passing category and also have the #1 most successful rushing attack.
• For Chicago, they thrive off of explosive plays and forcing turnovers on defense. 4th quarter comebacks too of course!

📈 Trends That Matter
• Caleb Williams200+ Passing Yards (5/L5)
• Matthew Stafford 250+ Passing Yards (5/L5)
• D'Andre Swift 40+ Rushing Yards (5/L5)

⚖️ Matchup Differences
• Both teams can make plays and run the ball well on offense. The difference will be in team defense. The Rams have the better defense on paper as they are 14th and 13th in pass/rush yards while Chicago is 28th and 29th.
• The Rams defense does a good job limiting explosive plays and generating pressure on defense.

🧠 Big Picture
Controlling the game for either team will come in the rush attack. Both teams are great at it, but which defense folds first? Explosive plays will be crucial in this game but that can only happen if both offensive lines hold up. Chicago's dominant line vs the Rams pass rush will be fun to watch!

Houser’s got a 1.60 ERA and has carried the Sox. Smith? 4.20 ERA, 3-7 record. Yet Smith’s the All-Star pick? 🤦‍♂️

@ventingacc21 @BR_OpenIce If the Oilers had the Mensch on the Ice, Oilers would’ve won the series in 4!

[Judah Ripstein @JudahRipstein]

You nailed it @ventingacc21. Skinner’s tracking the puck like a boomer trying to close pop-up ads—slow, confused, and one click away from disaster. Meanwhile Picard’s looking like Prime Lundqvist.

@ventingacc21 I think I saw Aron Isaacs warming up in the parking lot. Give him the call, Knoblauch
