I knew you could pull a negative out of the Fisk signing. Good boy!! But Reinsdorf wasn't "following the rules" and "creating his own" along the way? I really need for you to explain to me why the Belle signing was bad, bad, bad. You listed it as such. Like, we should all bow our heads in shame. And lick more boots.

What would kneeling down and licking boots be, to you? A healthy dynamic relationship? Some mods, here, accuse any positive people of that.

Now, pretend JR is the owner of the As and did the same thing. You would be crowing about how JR had to spend that money, or he'd lose the league profit-sharing, thus, making that spending bad. I couldn't give a s%*# about how much people b**** about Reinsdorf and this team. You keep trying to argue both sides of the argument. You can't say that JR never spends, except that one time when he was doing it out of spite. Oh, and that one time he did it to prove another point. Oh, and that other time he did because it was a no brainer.

No, he won't. The wheels have already been installed on the goalposts for the eruption of whining when JR inks that first $100M free agent. You just did it, there.

JR signed Albert Belle. But that was bad. He signed Adam Dunn. But that was bad. He signed Benintendi for more money and years than he was worth just to prove he wanted to win. But that was bad. He signed Grandal, the catcher the data-nerds crushed on. But that was bad. They traded for a top closer in Kimbrel. But that was bad. I'm sure you can explain why the Fisk signing was bad, too. C'mon, I know you have it in you. Can you explain to me why a big F U to other owners is bad? Aren't the Dodgers jamming it up and breaking it off in the rest of the owners with their payroll manipulations?

I don't care who goes to games, watches on TeeVee, or buys the next theme hat. I just went to my first game in 5 years this September. People vote with their feet. If the team's good, people will show up. I never understand the notion that if somebody chooses to wish-cast on the future of some minor leaguers, that automatically makes us Jerry Reinsdorf's personal sex slaves. I mean, maybe the people who bought season tickets for 30 years speak from their own personal experience.

It's funny when people root for JR to spend more money, throw more years at players just to prove he "wants to win", then when it goes bad, it becomes the example of how JR is too cheap to sign free agents.

Is calling somebody a "boot-licker" an explanation of something?

I post my drunken, bizarre comments in the wee hours. Is this the Mimosas talking?

I think part of the "lightness" can be accounted for by Wilson's disappointing season. He was supposed to provide some solid innings and be tradeable.

The last game against the Angels was September 26, 2024. Records show that the attendance was 15,678. Why are you asking where I sat?

No, National writers aren't sarcastic in their rankings. Do you have anything of value to say, here? Brown note - Wikipedia

Hahahahahaha. It's funny that the only guy who ranked the Sox' farm system the lowest, Keith Law, is the guy who has said that Chris Getz is doing a good job with the organization. We're pretending that IF ONLY REINSDORF SENT UNLIMITED MONEY TO MINNESOTA.... KEASAHULL WOULD BE OURS!!!!! AND THEN ALL THE HOME RUNZZZZ WOULD HAPPENNNNN!!!!!!111 Seriously, we're talking about rumors of partial rumors. It's the latest insider meme: "WOW, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TAKE ON MONEY, AND WE GET THEIR TOP 5 PROSPECTS!!!!!!" I guess I'm at a loss. I don't have any children. And everybody seems to be letting their 5-year-olds post about trade possibilities, when a grown adult would understand that 99% of what's being discussed is nonsense.

I have no idea what you're responding to, and I don't think you do, either. FutureSox guys have said that the Sox are constructing a new facility in the DR, and that will probably result in in another DSL team. Li Minghui - Wikipedia

I like lobster.

The industry's changing as MLB tries to condense minor league levels. They're proposing eliminating a minor league level in the next 5-10 years. Keith Law is saying that minor league depth is much worse than in the recent past. Prospects aren't given the leeway to suck for a couple of years while they learn the professional game. Somehow, that becomes a victory for the people who hate baseball, and criticize their teams relentlessly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_mill

But he didn't choose Vargas over Keaschall. You've already admitted that maybe Hayes didn't have all the information with the Tweet you're proclaiming was Bible. Fletcher vs. McCarthy was a coin flip at the time of the trade. Fangraphs has Fletcher as a much better defensive OF than McCarthy. Fletcher's offense just regressed. So, you're saying that we have a GM who won some trades and lost some others. WOW! How prescient. Do you have a fantasy blog? Is it called FantasySportsBabble.com?

He should have been one of those guys the pundits crowed about a team grabbing with the 25th pick. "OMG!! This guy was mocked in the top 5!!! What a steal for the Astros!!" I think Hahn and Hostetler spent too much time on the internet. addendum: It always disappointed me how dudes would become so impressed when they realized Beer and Burger were both food words, and it would be "the funniest thing in human history if Beer and Burger both played on the same team !!! woah!! High five me, dude!!" When, Sousa, Madrigal, Bilous and Troutwine were all taken by the Sox in the same draft, and one could have a roster announcing a Sousa Madrigal, Bil(i)ous on Troutwine. Oh, and Fry was an option, too. I hope nobody ever literally "died" laughing.

It was weird the Royals claimed him in the first place.

Because they don't have rotation anchor Erick Fedde on their team. Siberian peashrub (Caragana arborescens) | Minnesota DNR

They are rebuilding. They got enough attention last year to last a decade.

But you're talking about the Cubs/Dodgers Japan series. I'm not sure how the White Sox become relevant during a series that baseball clears the decks to highlight. And what does that quote have to do with anything in this conversation? Dodgers wreck pitchers. That's why they literally need to employ 3 times the amount of pitchers as any other team.

Are you saying that the White Sox should rebel and schedule it's own regulation games in Japan, at the same time, right across the street to distract from the opening series?
