That inning was pretty fun. The catcher and ump b****ing at each other was pretty funny. You could visbily hear the 1b ump telling him he cannot go to the mound.

Anyone get a good look at that on tv? Crowd is letting TA have it today.. lol. Joyous game to be at.

Yeah. Im going to this game. Put me out of my misery already. Cant even get Eloy and Yoan on a prime time game?

Ill be at this one. Jimenez in, Robert in. Otherwise a pretty meh lineup. Adolfo on the bench, will be cool to see him.

Time has passed, and I am still pissed at the White Sox. How on earth did they supposedly have a framework in place for signing both? It would have had to be "get manny for 250" then throw enough at Harper to get him to sign. But they straight up gave up on Harper like a bunch of little b****es. If they thought they'd get both of these players for 500 million, they are delusional and have been fooling themselves for the 2 years leading up to this offseason. At the end of the day one sentiment still rings true for me. Fuck this franchise, mainly the ownership and front office.

I went from being super stoked about the rebuild, the money savings looking to this offseason... The rebuild is still pretty good, but it is a big deal to not acquire either of these guys. I root for my guys. Anyone wearing that Sox uniform. They play for the same incompetent front office that we are forced to deal with. Personally I am not interested in going to any games. I was all about going to more games than usual if they got one of these guys. I was all in. Now I'm just limping in, and will fold at the first sign of trouble (ie, rebuild failing). The only motivation I have to go to any games is to tailgate with some friends in nice weather and play bags. I will do my best to not buy any food or drink inside the park. Normally, I'm plenty full and drunk before I get in anyway. Certainly no merchandise. I don't give a shit. Fuck White Sox ownership and White Sox front office. It will take a WS victory for me to even remotely consider supporting these assholes anymore. The end result of this is I turn into a deplorable fair weather fan. I really don't care, though. These fucking losers talk a big game, so now go win a fucking World Series or fuck right off.

Being out on Bryce after getting your ass handed to you in the Machado sweepstakes just adds further embarrassment to an already pathetic situation. Fuck the White Sox. Go Eloy, go Yoan, go all of you young guys. The only way the FO can win me back is if they win a World Series. Until then, fuck all of them.

This organization is still pathetic.

James, NIce job on the Score last night. I caught it after work. I was a little surprised there was no Harper talk on the program, but I guess it speaks a lot to the under the radar approach. I want to believe. I want to believe that Boras isn't bandying the Sox around because they intend to top any offer or something of that nature. Just do it Jerry, Kenny, Rick... just do it.

I think it would be spun as "that was as high as they wanted to go on Manny because their main target was Bryce", and the your guy narrative would be dispelled.

That's an interesting overnight leak from Philly. I see two situations being plausible based off of it. 1) Philly is really being that rigid (like the Sox with Machado) about the opt-out. If this is the case, they're delusional. Boras usually gets what he wants. 2) Harper is all set to sign with another team, and Philly is getting in front of the damage control by leaking some demands that Boras is asking of Philly in order for them to look better when the contract details leak.

Y'all ain't ready.

4D tic tac toe though

They're not gonna have a chance with Trout... so yeah... this is the one. Get it done. Let daddy Boras take you to the cleaners.

I think you gotta spend the stupid money on Harper now just to save yourself from spending stupid money on awful free agents down the road. Earmark that money to Bryce so that you don't have that money to buy more Keppingers and Jays.
