Here is a dose of reality that might be hard to accept: the Sox were NEVER seriously in on either of them. We've been played folks.

They got really lucky in 2005. They also put themselves into a position where luck mattered. You do that often enough you win a title.

You can venmo him.

I hope Lozano sent a screenshot of the money the Sox spent on bringing in Manny's buds with a laughing crying emoji.

Sox had a chance to outbid the Padres and couldn't. FFS man. That's some of the most depressing shit you'll ever read. And if he averages a conservative 3 WAR over the course of the contract he'll still produce some surplus value for the Padres. FUCK FUCK FUCK.

I feel like 99% of the tweets I read during this were complete and utter BS. It was hilarious to see people reacting. Twitter is now the easiest way to get grift accomplished. You have to take pretty much every account -- even the blue checked (lol, what a racket that is) ones -- with a massive grain of salt.

I've dealt with Brady Hoke and Rich Rodriguez and now Jim Harbaugh apparently having his balls put into a vice grip at UM while playing a stone age offense. I've seen a lot of shit lately. Thankfully I had a great childhood of fandom but the flags are faded.

Last Bulls title was when most of us were 7-14, including myself. Been a minute. As a hardcore Bulls fan, there's no indication the FO on the West side has any clue what they are doing either. Another JR run circus.

Laugh.

Tony and I hugged it out we're all good I actually smashed a keyboard earlier today office space style and I feel 100% better.

Fuck that TA is one of the few reasons to watch this club and he's 100% right. People are dumb man. They don't get how pro athletes are wired. If TA was worried about Manny he isn't TA. He isn't some broke ass AA kid that didn't even pick up a bat until 14 or so and then made it through CC to a 1st round pick and now to a 25 million dollar guaranteed deal. He's TA man! He ain't scurred. None of these pro guys are. Sure there are moments, but they are made of sterner stuff than you and I for the most part.

I feel bad for James. He's gotta cover this shit. He won't spin it tho I love that about him.

Not to mention bringing in his friends and family, at a massive opportunity cost, in order to "talk him down" from the hard money. When has that ever worked in sports? Like once out of hundreds of thousands of contracts? Did they seriously think they were going to make up 50 million guaranteed on the strength of "hey your buddies are here!"? FFS.

ha, I like @Tony and all the mods here so imma take a break for a minute. It's just a shit time to be a Sox fan we don't need to eat each other our wrath should be directed at the club.
