Chris Getz likes Ben Hartl because he gets on base.

The Sox were outbid on Konerko in his prime (right after the World Series), and they matched the offer to bring him back home.

I know this is getting "political", but """"rich"""" isn't "rich". Tax billionaires. You'll never be a billionaire. Illinois is a flat tax state. That's why taxes suck so much. Because the rich don't pay their share. They're capped. Pritzker tried to change the state constitution, and Illinois Policy [I think that's the pac] worked on behalf of the ""rich"", and we all voted against letting us taxing billionaires fairly. So conservatives got their way. They have to pay high taxes so that billionaires can skate by and not pay anything. Good job.

1) You'll never get rich to that level. 2) If you do, you'll be using way more of our governmental infrastructure than your tax rate accounts for. 3) see #1. 4) Please, remember that I said that. I can set a timer to remind you every single day, if you'd like.

You're described about 26 owners in the game. They all suck. Tax the rich.

Oh, okay. You not getting a winning ballclub to root for is much worse than Tyler Skaggs dying of a Fentanyl OD supplied by team employees. You are certainly a piece of work, Mr. Liptak.

JFC!! Is he even that? Some of you guys won't even admit that letting staff deal drugs to athletes that kill them is worse, as happened with the Angels. We all seem to keep forgetting that when we're dealing with billionaires, we're dealing with money addicts. Reinsdorf bought the Sox and invested money. Then he embraced his addiction and stopped caring about "winning" which is a much lesser addiction. They think that the fact they found a wrinkle in the money matrix means they are superior thinkers at all levels. They're all addicts. You might get a 3-5 year golden age with Ishbia. Then he'll succumb to the same disease. You should pray to your God that he keeps Getz in place, and gives him a directive to keep it going.

Yes, Jerry Reinsdorf is, far and away, the worst owner in all of sports. No others come clo..... wait a minute!

My wife once asked me how I'd feel about the Cubs winning it all, and I said it would be like the Brewers winning. It would be nice for them, their fans. I wouldn't troll them upon losing, as I hate that being done to me. in 2016, I didn't participate. I don't even think I was in the country. Didn't plan around the eventuality as I would with the Sox. I see no reason to root for the Cubs. They tell us all the time they have so many more fans, so I think they're covered for the rooting.

Okay, enough!! They already have the Clarence Carter records out, go with the nickname that took Clarence from soup bones to t-bones! Patches!!!- 7/1/2026 - Sox @ Orioles, 11:35 am CDT - Schultz v. Kremer
He's a backup catcher. Backup catchers are generally automatic outs. Lee sucks, and while it's fun to dream that Michael Tucker would be another Fisk, he's minor league depth.- 7/1/2026 - Sox @ Orioles, 11:35 am CDT - Schultz v. Kremer

In the case of needing a guy to pitch starter's innings today who hasn't just thrown 4 innings last night, yes. Very much so.- RHP Ben Peoples to TEX for C Ben Hartl (High A)
Rock was on the 40-man. They needed a body.- RHP Ben Peoples to TEX for C Ben Hartl (High A)
They're promoting Boston Smith to AA, so maybe that opens a slot at the lower levels they're trying to fill. - Psycho Sam
