  1. They need the money from the state. They also are going to have a tough time with friends of the parks. Tomorrow’s deal is the same thing the Sox did when they rendered drawings, exciting a lot of people.
  2. So do I, that's why they will ultimately wind up in Arlington Heights. They will show some drawings, just like the Sox did a while back, and that will excite a lot of people, but when it gets time to pay, they are going to be SOL with the state.
  3. The reason Getz got the job is because he would take it and kiss the ring. Payroll is down huge. The first question any candidate from another team would have asked him would have been about payroll and budget. If JR was straight wtih them, they would have ended their candidacy right after they got done eating the meal JR bought them.
  4. I agree with the replacement, that's why I think it has to happen ASAP. Get someone who can make mistakes and it won't cost you the playoffs now, and when the team is ready, they will be ready as well.
  5. In his introductory press conference he talked about being prepared, and accountable. Being fundamentally sound. Ready to kick the opponent's ass every night. He used controlling both sides of the ball, which meant getting ahead in counts pitching, and taking pitches hitting. I thought he was great. I was wrong. Everything he talked about has been a failure of epic proportions. I realized now he was saying what he thought the guys above him wanted to hear. He's a brown noser. Can't kiss Rick and Kenny's ass anymore, so he kisses Getz' and JR, even Tony's HoF baseball persons asses/
  6. Someone is trying to argue missing Moncada, Robert and ILoy for 20 games is all the difference when this team has been outscored 123-45. If all 3 of them were that good, they would make Ohtani look like he's making minimum. And they played about as much as they ever play last season and the team lost 101 games.
  7. I have already told you I also think this team would be bad with anyone managing, but it's obvious Pedro is not the guy. Why continue with his BS? Bring in someone new, see what they can do. if they are just as bad as Pedro, fire them. They need to eventually have someone in place who will be good when they are capable of being good. I'm not blaming it all on Pedro, but he has got to get some of the blame. He's awful. I thought he would be great. All talk, now he can't even speak without saying something stupid.
  8. 45 runs scored 123 allowed. I think it's time to stop blaming Robert, Moncada and Eloy all going down as the reason they are bad. If those 3 were that great, JR wouldn't be paying them.
  9. Just wait until Tommy Pham is ready. Then they really will be playing FAST.
  10. I thought he called a few more strikes off the plate against the Twins last night anyway.
  11. If the players aren't listening to this guy, it's time for a new guy. They are major leaguers, they are capable of throwing to the right base, holding runners on, doing rundowns correctly. 64-120 is all you need to know. i though 61-101 was the bottom, but 3-19 is an all time franchise worst start.
  12. They can make them throw to the correct base, or do a run down correctly, and if they can't do that, not play them. "When they hired him, I was excited. His introductory press conference was music to my ears. He has failed in every aspect. I understand a new manager isn't going to make this a playoff team, but it's pretty clear if this was a playoff caliber team, Pedro would mess it up. Get him out of here.
  13. 64-120. That's a lot of reflecting and learning, yet they are still doing everything wrong.
  14. Yes I do, but if they do it multiple times, why isn’t a message getting across? Accountability.
