MLB considering 154 game and delayed schedule
This is quite a concession. We are maybe six months to vaccine critical mass. Might as well have some hall games. This is not the fan's problem. Just get it done.

I'm coming around to the Sox starting with the team it has now
To play on words I accept this team for starters but not for the season. We have been let down either through perception or reality of legitimate pandemic distress. The window is open and this is not the time to be clipping coupons. I am mostly pro-owner but the Sox should not be tightening belts. Surely their equity and market value can withstand and maintain some short-term spending for long-term gain.

Sox resign Rodon 1 yr /3m official, Vargas DFA
I think Nightengale got his scoop from Tony during Happy Hour.

Sox had to outbid the Cub who may have seen a workout per Bruce.

I think his wife talked him out of an extension lol. If he can stay healthy for two months it would be headline news. He also wants to start maybe in Schaumburg.

Rosario signs with CLE for $8 million
Watching Eddie Haskell play LF is a lolla. Imagine Eloy with no net game.

Jerry Reinsdorf is cheap
Connie Mack preferred fourth place and sold off Jimmie Foxx, Eddie Collins and Shoeless Joe during the 1910's after building baseball's first dynasty.

It used to be if money was needed for a move Kenny had to put his neck on the line in order to get approval. Maybe no one is willing to do that anymore.

Limited partners don't have voting rights. That was the original setup with investors. George used to call Eddie and Jerry the Katzenjammer Kids which is a bit dated.

Eaton is bound to be a productive hitter if you follow the law of averages. Think of all the hitters that died in Chicago. If you want to ruin Cruz just bring him on over.

The Mets sold for $2.475B not including their TV network and Cohen covered their losses of about $200 million. I sort of see the Mets as a larger prototype of the Sox if we were trying to be a legit major market team. If we had a Mark Cuban type owner we could be. Compare the Tigs since Ilitch's son took over.

Forbes will give you a number for operating capital which is different than equity. Team value does not mean they have operating capital. Do they have a line of credit from Bank Of Russia? The guy who pays the bills may not care about team value.

Yes there are plenty of bad owners. Some are worse. Pirates are the worst right now. The Tribe's payroll is a joke. The Reds are tanking.

Madrigal 3000 hits "very reachable"
Will also have the lowest SLG for the Holy Hall.

MLB 2020-21 off season catch all
Interesting take. One of the things might be going on is Rick has to run everything by Tony and Tony may want to sign Wainwright and Molina. We have a three headed management monster right now. Missing out on Q was bad form.

Wonder if Q was passed over because TLDR. Likely.

Or this. Kick an FG and you still need a TD. Lose the ball on downs and you still need a TD.

According to analytics there was a very slight outcome likelihood btw the fg and going for the touch fourth and eight. Most of us though smelled a rat.

This is my worst non-move of the off-season.

First class person and slugger. God Bless Henry Aaron.

J.A. Happ to the Twins
And now they will scheme to have him avoid facing the Sox. Great pickup.
