Cup of Coffee: January 19, 2024

Good morning!

That’s from the comic artist Hugleikur Dagsson. He’s very funny, if dark. This one, though, could be The Official Comic of Cup of Coffee, right?

Today I talk about how the world of legitimate sports journalism is about to get even smaller than it is, the White Sox looking to build a new stadium in the South Loop, an old man looking to make a comeback, the wishful thinking of the offseason, Adam Wainwright’s new gig, and someone taking Jim Palmer for a ride.

In Other Stuff, I talk about why I’m still comfortable linking to Substack and subscribing to some Substack newsletters, how borked Google News is becoming, and how a UK weather report is right in the old Cup of Coffee wheelhouse.
