You can get reasonable tickets for wrigley (like I think starting around 20-30) but you have to actually check the view because wriggley is old enough to have actually terrible section views. I think there’s even obstructed view seats still?
I could get literally $6 tickets to see the Sox when the guardians were in town last week. Wild.
Ultimately neither stadium is great and wriggles is coasting on historical to avoid improving anything, but at least the cubs are watchable. The Sox are for seeing your hometown team come to visit and beat them up
Soto is in a bit of a cold streak right now but Stanton has played well all season (A rarity, even in his good years he's always started slow and got going in June) and Judge is on an absolutely monstrous tear over the last few weeks.
Also Clay Holmes currently has 13 saves and has given up zero runs so far this year, which has been nice.

They’re supposedly in long term talks with Soto and that makes me so happy. He’s such a perfect fit

Soto didn’t like hearing he’s cooling off so he slapped 2 dongs today
And he's bucking the trends and doing it by painting corners and relying on a psychotic late break on his fastball so that guys that can catch up to 100+ are whiffing both under and late on 92 to 94
I'm a fan.

Kathryn Xu writing about the AL Cemtral remains my favorite part of Defector
The return of the sausage was a success. Byron Buxton, who per The Athletic's Dan Hayes had previously refused to touch the magical meat, smashed a solo home run to open the second inning in Tuesday's game against the Nats. The Twins threw the sausage directly at Buxton from the dugout, and Buxton begrudgingly caught it, welcoming its blessing. He would follow up with a two-run homer in the fifth to put the Twins up 6-0. Starting pitcher Joe Ryan threw seven scoreless innings as the Twins won 10-0, snapping their losing streak.
As a life-long fan of the franchise the way the Phillies are crushing everything in sight is extremely uncomfortable for me and I don't know how to feel about it.

i'm just waiting for everyone's arm to fall off mid-pitch or somehow all 4 infielders and jt get into a huge pileup and all get hurt on the same pop fly.
Right now my money is on Bryce somehow chasing a foul ball and hurling himself into the dugout and crushing half of the pitchers to death, that could happen.

This both delights and sickens me- the last 500 days are the worst 500 days for the Cardinals in the last 116 years
been to wrigley a couple times and enjoyed it. take a cab.

there's no question its old, ive been to grapefruit league stadiums that are 10x nicer, but its all about the vibe and wrigley has that times twenty
The White Sox have an absolute shit stadium situation but that is very much their own doing
like im sure its happened before because baseball is the sports equivalent of infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters but it sure is weird.
Final combined score of the games
14-1
The Twins one run came in the first game, from a lead off home run in the first inning.
The Yankees are 120-44 against the Twins over the last 22 years, which is bordering on abusive.

And struck out the seventh batter, then 8 and 9 got hits into the infield and were thrown out

The Yankees now have 3 players in double digit dongers: Stanton (11), Soto (11), Judge (12)
Gunnar is now the HR leader (14).

The pirates were winning, now it's 9-5 giants in the 10th
And the giants won 9-5 in 10 innings
