Ozzie’s Cuban Cigar

Anderson getting tossed probably cost us the game. He didnt deserve to get tossed and neither did Keller. Joe West smoked us, because Keller was close to 100 pitches and going to be lifted anyway. Anderson steals second in that sitch otherwise. Later HORRIBLE AB by Abreu. Up in the count 3-0 with runners on 2nd and 3b and no outs. First base openand swings at two sliders way out of the zone. What do you think he’s going to throw you there, a belt high fastball??!! Cmon Jose, have some situational awareness .

Yonkers sucks but he didn’t give up a hit and two walks Those pitches arent even close. Ricky is showing his baseball acumen

Harper would’ve brought National relevance to a team who isn’t even relevant in its own town. Kids love the guy and perhaps even some casual fans become Sox fans instead of Cubs fans. On the positive side, there will be plenty of parking and leg room available at GRF

I like “ if two 26yr old future Hall of Famers don’t fit the rebuild, maybe we can get ONE 52 yr old instead?”

Delusional White Sox Fans “Well guys Kris Bryant will be a free agent after 2021. Let’s wait for him, maybe we will get him? He’s better than Machado anyway”. Hahahahahahaha

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Based on the way this off-season has gone, it’s only fitting it’s the 100yr Anniversary of the infamous BLACK SOX

The fact is, other than an injury which could happen to anyone, there was no downside to signing Machado. First and foremost, it legitimizes the White Sox as somewhat relevant. More ticket sales, more jersey sales, more TV/ad sales. In short more revenue. It also creates more positive “vibes” in town and nationwide( which there is almost none) More optimism among fans and casual observers you are trying to reach. These things create revenue to more than account for the $50 mill they wouldn’t shell out. Penny wise and dollar stupid.

Mediocrity would be a huge step up. They lost 100 games last year

Ozzie and Hawk are like Coach Ditka and Harry Caray. Iconic , but the World we live in requires kinder gentler leadership. Not a judgement, just an observation.

Hall of Fame announcement coming tomorrow, so probably quiet the next couple days from teams/ agents outbof respect.
