So THAT’S why everyone is talking about needing a pitch clock!!!!!

After four days: “weeeeeeee have just agreeeed, that we won’t win the 2023 World Series …..”

For those of you betting the over/under on when Sox fans would turn to drugs, the answer is apparently August 12th

And the rest of us got … what? He ain’t “one of us”

Alternate take (not saying I’m right): Right now Pedro is like “I can’t believe how F’d up this organization is. What did I get myself into?!?! You don’t like it, talk to the Morons above me!!!” I don’t know about all of you, but I’ve been there in a job. Maybe someday we’ll know.

Next meh up!

I think people should be using more “Golly gee whiz” in common parlance. Highly underrated. Right up there with “punkin’ head”.

Jeopardy translation: “what you hear when you play Tim Anderson backwards”

There’s rock bottom. Then there’s the stuff stuck to the underside of those rocks. And then there’s whatever this organization is.

If you want to see what A grand vision looks like What a professional presentation looks like look to our division rivals:

As a professional designer, my opinion: TOTAL lack of vision REALLY weak execution absolutely AWFUL presentation If I showed my clients something like this I’d be fired. I shared this with my daughter who is an interior designer that works on major architectural projects and she agreed. I’m still contending that someone in the org had their 16 year old kid do this because they knew how to use some free rendering software. Completely unprofessional work.

By June people are going to be fighting to get that seat!

See Rick. See Rick try to run a baseball team. Rick likes to sit at the kiddie table. Rick sucks at his job. The end.

Somehow, this is all the fault of the Village of Bedford Park. I’m certain of it.

Any chance there are “Sell the team, Jerry!” banners at ST?

Can you imagine if a car company said “we’ll make good cars once people start buying them”?

There is no spoon

Three out of the last five years, the largest contract they dished out was for a guy that plays less than half of the games in any given season. That is f’d up on so many levels …… still trying to process this.

More than zero = “bigger role” Thanks for clarifying that Rick.

All this talk about getting the Royals scraps - are we sure KC didn’t try to hire him and HE chose the Sox? I know most us here would say “sucker…” but, objectively, Sox are probably more attractive than the Royals.

Near as I can tell, it has something to do with Mike Ditka and dorks

But repeatedly criticizing a bunch of strangers on a baseball forum is … what?

I think the number is something like a sales cap of 200,000 vehicles sold. Vehicles (individual models, not brands) over that do not qualify (which include teslas and some GMs I believe). I’m not sure if there’s a hard cutoff or a typical convoluted phase out. Also, the $7500 is not for every EV - I think the actual number is tied to battery capacity and other things. But, like I said, your point in general still stands.

For the record, Teslas don’t qualify because they exceed the production volume quota. That said, I get your point 100%

Same here. I didn’t watch this year (got my updates here) because after supporting the rebuild I was so fed up with their incompetence last winter, but it looks like they may double down and take it to a new level. Sheesh. Actually, with as secretive as they try to be, I’ve become convinced JR deliberately changes course if news gets out because he always wants to be the smartest person in the room. I think it’s entirely possible that, at least in principle, they had decided Espada was their guy and even JR was on board. News leaked and JR says “they think they’re smarter than me? I’ll show them! Rick we’re going a different way.” That would fit being such an arrogant ass.
