Sox fans! Welcome back to a brand new episode. Our Chicago White Sox had a rough week on the road. They went (2-4) against Minnesota and Philadelphia. Sox offense continues to produce even without Murakami. Antonacci and Peters are a joy to watch and even Benintendi has stepped it up. The rest of the month is very tough and without reliable pitching, it will be a disaster. The Sox need to get more consistent outings from their starters and far better performances from their relievers. Should Getz buy at the deadline? What are you willing to mortgage? Live like there's no tomorrow or be patient and build for the future? Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

Slavoj Žižek je v Cankarjevem domu v Ljubljani predstavil svoje najnovejše delo Kdo si ti? – tema in šest variacij, v katerem obravnava eno osrednjih filozofskih dilem, povezano z vprašanjem subjekta, zavesti in nezavednega. Ob tem je založba Analecta ponatisnila še njegovo vedno bolj aktualno delo Nasilje iz leta 2007, v katerem analizira vidne in nevidne oblike nasilja. Novi roman slovitega japonskega pisatelja Harukija Murakamija Mesto in njegovo negotovo obzidje pa nas pelje v miselni labirint, s katerim se želi protagonist zaščititi pred bolečino ob nepojasnjeni izgubi mladostne ljubezni, a ga to poriva vedno globlje v spomin in stran od resničnosti. Mu bo uspelo premagati svoje obzidje? In še o ciklu koncertov Plečnik in a capella, na katerih se bodo različne vokalne zasedbe predstavile na edinstvenih prizoriščih arhitekta Jožeta Plečnika.

The great Murakami tweaks his hamstring. Ben howls in pain. Miles and Gave assess the Sox and Cubs two months into the season. Sox fans will be delighted. Cubs fans not so much. Bottom line—if the Cubs were as tough on the Brewers as they are with a woman Sox fan, they'd still be in first place. Hey, don't blame the messengers. Ben defends Jerry Reinsdorf. Gave and Miles try not to laugh. Much talk about a salary cap. Miles co-hosts Blue Line radio. And Gave co-hosts The New Twenty-Four.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Chicago White Sox end the month of May on a high note, despite the injury to Munetaka Murakami, and are now one game behind first place in their division. Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs are happy that the month is over after an awful slump.
Sox fans! Welcome back to having fun as a Chicago White Sox fan. The Sox swept the Tigers and took three of four from the Twins. Our South Siders are 11-3 against the AL Central and are trailing the Guardians by one game. The injury to Murakami is a big deal and the Sox will miss him greatly but guys will step up to fill the void. This White Sox club is not a one trick pony. Jacob Gonzalez and David Sandlin have joined the party and more are still to come. June will be a very tough month but it will be a good challenge. One battle at a time. Here's to having fun again! Go Sox. #WhiteSox
MLB salary cap or spending floor — and which one actually fixes baseball? On Episode 518 of the Sports Chasers Baseball Dugout Report, Kevin L. Warren, Dorian "The D.A." Albritton, and Resident MLB Insider Alvin Clawson deliver an objective, no-narrative breakdown of the MLB standings and the CBA labor showdown shaping the road to 2027.We rank the contenders — the league-best Atlanta Braves, a deep NL led by the Dodgers, Padres, and Brewers, and a wide-open AL with the Rays, Yankees, and Guardians. We get into walk-offs and wild finishes, how rule changes (bigger bases, shift limits, pickoff caps) are reviving speed and small-ball, Chandler Simpson's pressure game, and Shohei Ohtani's "alien" two-way season. Plus: Cristopher Sánchez's scoreless streak, Astros trade chatter, and White Sox rookie Munetaka Murakami's hamstring injury after tying for the AL home-run lead.Then the main event: the MLBPA's CBA proposal vs. the owners' salary-cap push — and why we believe organizational competence and scouting beat raw spending every time.⭐ HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER
This year, for the first time, Chicago will fully elect the 21-person school board. Candidates had to get their petitions in this week with signatures from their district in order to get on the Nov. 3 ballot. Chalkbeat Chicago's Reema Amin and Injustice Watch's Kelly Garcia are here to talk about 51 candidates who submitted their names. Plus, traffic court confusion is hurting immigrants, CPS has critical budget concerns heading into the summer, and Murakami's homers are fueling the white sox.

Tony and NWI Steve recap the White Sox's strong 3-1 series win over the Minnesota Twins, including a dominant 15-2 blowout and a frustrating extra-innings loss. The guys break down Munetaka Murakami's continued power surge, Chase Meidroth's grand slam, and David Sandlin's impressive MLB debut after being recalled from Triple-A.They also discuss Rikuu Nishida's early impact since his call-up, Sam Antonacci's base-running adventures, and whether the current batting order is getting the most out of the lineup. The conversation touches on the growing energy at Rate Field, the “tarps off” section, and what Murakami's hot start could mean for the franchise long-term.It's a fun, honest, and at times fiery episode as the Sox continue to show signs of life in 2026.

Finish Your Breakfast (5.28.2026): I see you Juan Soto, and even you can't make me hate Jalen Brunson (hahaha), even Pope Leo is a Knicks fan. Shohei did what Shohei does last night. Murakami did what Murakami does last night. Byron Buxton did what Byron Buxton does last night. Yordan Alvarez has hit four homers in two games. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was dominate against the Royals. The O's got a meaning sweep against the Rays, and the Nats won their series against the Guardians 2-1. The Rangers DFA'ed Andrew McCutchen. I hope he gets on with another team for the remainder of the season.
Episode 169 of Tablesetters is LIVE! We open with Cristopher Sánchez breaking Grover Alexander's 115-year-old Phillies franchise record with a 44 2/3 inning scoreless streak and discuss where his dominant run now stands among baseball's best pitching stretches in recent years. From there, we break down the Cubs becoming only the second AL/NL team ever to record two 10-game winning streaks and a 10-game losing streak in the same season despite their win today, Houston's combined no-hitter led by Tatsuya Imai and MLB debutant Alimber Santa, and Nick Kurtz's 48-game on-base streak finally coming to an end. We also discuss whether Carlos Mendoza is becoming the face of the Mets' collapse, Munetaka Murakami's legitimate AL MVP case after surpassing the rookie pre-June home run record, and baseball's growing “let the kids play” culture clash after the Brewers and Giants' viral celebration controversies. Plus, Sub-2 ERA crew talk, red-hot and ice-cold players of the week, polls, debates, and everything else happening across Major League Baseball.
Happy Monday! Caddy returns to Camden Yards. The Astros throw a combined no-hitter. James Wood and C.J. Abrams leave the yard. So do Murakami and Schwarber.All of that and a salute to the Knicks and Gael Monfils.
In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Filippo Rijli from the Friedrich Miescher Institute about his work on transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of craniofacial and neuronal development. Dr. Rijli recalls pivotal moments in his career, including his postdoctoral work where he explored the functions of HoxA2 in craniofacial development. We discuss key findings from his landmark papers, highlighting how individual transcription factors like HoxA2 can dictate the topographic organization of neuronal circuits. His exploration of the whisker-to-barrel cortex circuit in mice unveils how sensory inputs are mapped and processed through precise neuronal connections. This intricate mapping reveals how singular genes can impact the wiring of entire neurological systems. We also reflect on the evolution of scientific communication throughout Filippo's career, from the reliance on faxes and handwritten requests for paper reprints to today's instant access to research through digital platforms. His early experiences have instilled in him a resourcefulness that continues to inform his approach to research, particularly in environments with limited resources where collaboration becomes essential. Our discussion shifts to his recent research endeavors that delve into transcriptional and epigenetic regulation during neuronal and craniofacial development. Dr. Rijli elaborates on a 2015 study which demonstrated how the ectopic expression of HoxA2 could lead to the creation of artificial whisker maps in the brain, providing insights into how transcription factors guide neuronal behavior and circuit formation. His work on the histone methyltransferase EZH2 reveals its crucial role in the tangential migration of cerebellar neurons and the mechanisms that ensure these neurons reach their accurate destinations during development. Dr. Rijli's research further investigates the chromatin landscape of cranial neural crest cells, uncovering how polycomb group proteins maintain a poised state that enables these cells to respond flexibly to environmental signals. This concept of plasticity is particularly relevant in his latest research on nasal chondrocytes, suggesting that these cells retain developmental potential that may be harnessed in regenerative medicine. The discussions hint at a future where understanding these intricate mechanisms could lead to groundbreaking advancements in treating injuries or diseases. Throughout the episode, Dr. Rijli's enthusiasm for discovery is palpable as he shares how each research finding leads to more questions, showcasing the iterative nature of scientific research. This dialogue provides not only a deep dive into his specific studies but also a broader view of how developmental biology continues to evolve, emphasizing the importance of understanding the molecular underpinnings of cellular identity and connectivity.

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox are just one game out of the AL Central and despite being a couple of games under .500, there is no need to apologize. This is where the division is at and right now, it's there for the Sox to grab. Mune, Vargas, Martin, Hudson and Colson made this past week very fun. Do you want to see Murakami in the HR Derby? What about the Sox as deadline buyers? What should the Sox mortgage to win an underwhelming division? Soxtober does not come around very often. Big week with the Royals and Cubs heading to the South Side. Cinch it up and strap it down. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

This is a preview of a premium episode. To the listen to the full thing, head over to our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/mason-currey At several points in his life, Eli imagined what it would take to become a full-time artist — a photographer or illustrator free from client work. What he didn't realize was that he already had an example of a different path right in front of him: his father, a practicing physician whose published poetry earned recognition from luminaries like John Ashbery. Mason Currey's most recent book explores these alternate paths. He's the author of Daily Rituals, the beloved book that catalogued the working habits of nearly 200 artists, writers, and composers. His new book, Making Art and Making a Living, goes deeper — into the financial realities, the schemes, the compromises, and the surprising strategies that creatives have used to keep their work alive across centuries. What he found is both humbling and strangely reassuring. Virginia Woolf had inherited investments. Kafka had insurance. Chantal Akerman had a cash register she skimmed from. John Cage had Italian game show winnings. And yet, running through all of it is the same question that Mason has been asking about his own life since the day he sat down to write a novel and couldn't: How am I going to pay for this? In this conversation, Mason walks us through the four funding models his book explores — family money, day jobs, patronage, and schemes — and what the lives of creatives from Kafka to Murakami can teach us about building a practice that actually lasts. Bio Mason Currey is the author of the Daily Rituals books, featuring brief profiles of the day-to-day working lives of more than 300 brilliant minds. His latest book, Making Art and Making a Living, was published by Celadon Books on March 31, 2026. Currey lives in Los Angeles and writes Subtle Maneuvers, a twice-monthly newsletter on the creative process. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This is a premium episode on Design Better.

Chuck Garfien sits down with Munetaka Murakami's interpreter, Kenzo Yagi, for a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most unique roles in baseball. Kenzo shares how he landed the job, initially thinking the call was a prank, and how he's built a strong connection with Murakami both on and off the field. He also walks through Murakami's detailed game-day routine, his own background, and the confidence it took to step into such a high-profile position. The conversation offers a deeper look at Murakami's personality, from the types of questions he enjoys to his thoughts on teammates and the organization, along with his awareness of the growing “Murakami Mania.” Kenzo also reflects on Murakami's experience adjusting to Chicago, learning English, and memorable moments like spring training interactions and Ozzie Guillen's introduction to the duo. They close by sharing one story that's stood out the most so far and what it's been like for Kenzo to be part of Murakami's journey.

Munetaka Murakami is the biggest sell high of the fantasy baseball season so far, and Joe Bond and Corey Pieper both agree you should be moving him right now for legitimate top-tier talent before the league figures out how to pitch to him. On the waiver wire add side, AJ Applegarth and Joe run through Nolan Arenado, Cole Young, Moises Ballesteros, JR Ritchie, Chase Dollander, Foster Griffin, and Spencer Arrighetti. AJ was skeptical on Arenado while Joe and Corey are riding the hot bat, and Dollander gets the strongest endorsement of the group despite sitting at just 46% rostership. Jarren Duran is the rage drop of the week, with Joe keeping him for now but benching him in every league — Corey and Joe went deep on why he simply cannot be started right now despite the massive upside. Also on the drop list: Luis Castillo, Giancarlo Stanton, and Eugenio Suarez. Rankings risers this week include Mike Trout, Randy Arozarena, Josh Jung, Jose Soriano, Nolan McLean, Bryan Baker, and Louie Varland. Falling down the board: Jarren Duran, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Rafael Devers, Devin Williams, Aaron Nola, Salvador Perez, and Logan Gilbert. Corey leads the buy low and sell high segment. Buy low targets are Ketel Marte, Freddie Freeman, and Matthew Boyd — all three have strong underlying numbers that do not match their surface stats. The sell highs are JJ Wetherholt, Mickey Moniak, and Murakami, with Joe and Corey both making the case that Murakami hype is at its peak and you can flip him for serious value right now.

Chuck Garfien sits down with Japan-based reporter Yuri Karasawa of JapanBall and WorldBaseball.com to get a firsthand look at “Murakami Mania” from overseas. They dive into the reaction across Japan, whether White Sox gear is popping up more, and if even seasoned observers are surprised by Murakami leading the league in home runs. Yuri also weighs in on his current pace; early expectations, including Shingo Takatsu's bold 55-HR prediction; and how Murakami has exceeded them so far. The conversation shifts to what's next, from Home Run Derby buzz to concerns in Japan about a potential midseason trade and what that means for fans hoping to see him in Chicago. Chuck and Yuri also revisit offseason skepticism about Murakami handling MLB velocity, break down his unique stat line with no doubles and all home runs, and touch on his speed, defense, and overall profile from his NPB days. They wrap with insight into how Japanese fans follow MLB despite the time difference and a quick check-in on Anthony Kay's start to the season.

Chuck Garfien sits down with Josh to take a big-picture look at where the Chicago White Sox are in their “learning to win” phase and how clubhouse chemistry is starting to take shape, on and off the field, including a recent team outing to a Chicago Blackhawks game. They also dig into the team's offseason approach, discussing how prospect development influenced free agent decisions and what that says about the organization's timeline. The conversation includes a candid moment as Josh reacts to how much of last year's roster is still in place and what that continuity could mean moving forward. The episode also gets into the next wave of talent, from Noah Schultz and his early MLB impressions to where top arms like Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal stand in their development. Chuck and Josh break down roster decisions, rotation vs. bullpen, and what factors go into those calls, while also highlighting rising names like Colson Montgomery and Braden Montgomery. Plus, insight into Munetaka Murakami's adjustment to life in the majors, updates on Shane Smith and Kyle Teel, and how the organization is balancing development with the push to compete.
The Philadelphia Phillies currently sit in fourth place in the NL East, only one win better than the New York Mets, and concern is starting to grow for a team that was a favorite to make some noise in the postseason this year. While things don't look sunny in Philadelphia at the moment, there is slight hope this can turn around. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman are joined by a Phillies beat writer for The Athletic as they get into the major pitching struggles the team has been having and why a returning Zack Wheeler could be a major factor in turning their recent struggles around. With Philadelphia sports fans being slightly distracted by other teams in their area competing in the playoffs, now might be the best time for the Fightin' Phils to get their worst play out of the way. Later, Jake talks about his experience at Citi Field in the midst of the Mets' 12-game losing streak, the Houston Astros being decimated by injuries and Chicago White Sox slugging Japanese free agent signee Munetaka Murakami hitting a home run in four straight games. They also bust out “Why Haven't You Homered Yet?” to figure out why some notable players have yet to fill the home run column this season. 1:32 - The Opener: Phillies are in a mess 25:47 - Field Report: Mets losing streak hits 13 40:34 - Why Haven't You Homered Yet? 51:18 - Around The League: Astros decimated by injuries 55:57 - Murakami smashes four in a row Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
