Texsox Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I wonder what the mood is at the office. Pressure to do something? Patience? Thinking and rethinking? Come in scan the newspapers to see if Tony's ok, check for an email from Liam's agent, figure out what's happening for lunch. Discuss if JR liked his Hanukkah gift, thinking about what to get Kenny for Christmas. Take bets on the new name for Cleveland's baseball team. b**** about the cold and when it's going to snow. Scan Soxtalk for advice. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please stop polluting every thread with constant TLR whining? As an admin / mod, you of all people should be held to a higher standard and it’s starting to get ridiculous. Most of us are in agreement the hiring sucks, but at the very minimum let’s keep attacks against La Russa in relevant threads so the actual baseball discussion doesn’t have to suffer.

It is relevant baseball talk. You aren't going to censor it just because you don't like it.

You’re turning this site into your personal b****fest blog and that sucks for the rest of us trying to have actual back and forth baseball-related conversation. If the average poster was acting like you were, they’d probably be warned by now, but apparently you feel you should play by a different set of rules. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know Drake LaRoche situation with Eaton and some of that stuff. I know that before the Drake LaRoche fiasco Eaton was pretty well liked by Sox fans although there was some commentary around his time in Arizona and maybe he had too much of an ego or something for being such a young player. Either way - that was a long time ago and he's been a professional with the Nats ever since and people mature. And yes - I actually am human enough that I don't think someone is a (good or bad) person because of who they voted for. I may not agree with that person - but it DOES NOT make someone a good or bad person because you voted for Biden and/or Trump. I'm going to end with that but enough is enough on the TLR stuff and the Eaton stuff. Its absurd. I've made it clear - people have an issue with TLR - put it in the thread from when he's hired - don't dump it into every thread out there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 And to get this thread back on track, just not optimistic we’ll see much movement between now and year-end. Maybe I’m wrong, but seems like the Sox basically shut things down over the last two weeks of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that is Jerry being cheap or who needs to be fired, cut, or traded, those things have always happened.

South Side Hit Men Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 28 minutes ago, Yearnin' for Yermin said: Chisoxfn has said the exact same thing that CWS said there, multiple times. He doesn't want the TLR talk polluting every damn thread. You would definitely be enforcing that if you weren't so strongly against TLR. The trashing of TLR just aligns with your moral compass, so you'll let it slide. Tony LaRussa's sentencing, prison term, and hopefully mugshot and arrest and jail cell videos are likely the lone news coming out regarding the White Sox next week. Well that and continued silence or some brief statement by the team regarding their recidivist criminal manager on Christmas Day when everyone else is preoccupied.
