When will Tony come out of hiding.

I think it was Repubs voting for Biden that turned the tide.

Judge Tony LaRussa by results, not process
One Tony is too old. Two Tony is in seclusion. Bad situation.

Theo Epstein Resigns; Hoyer Stays
Weren't we all snickering last year at comparing Jose to KB as hitters?

Theo Epstein Resigns; Hoyer Stays
This is my beef only because the game is slowing down. Seven innings works for me.

You might have glossed over his best point. Did Mark ever miss a start? Cannot recall.

La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
La Russa potentially a great idea but twenty years too late. If Jer had a Woodrow for the guy he should have spoken out sooner. Now it just seems like a rest home folly.

Defund was a cry of desperation from the BLM movement to get everyone's attention. It is the view of outsiders.

Trump has already caught a number of breaks because you are required to have a good-faith basis for filing any suit.

Minor League Upheaval
It might make sense to put the Sox in Indy and Pirates to Roch. Indiana has some Sox connections.

Minor League Upheaval
I think Pittsburgh could be more likely sent there but they might have to wait a year. MLB can order people around but how quickly. Sox have a nice set-up in NC. The next couple weeks a lot of moves could be announced. The Yankees just ditched nearby AA Trenton for a more affluent community. I also question if there will be fans Opening Day, which seems too tentative.

i think butt hurt is a bad look on you. Anytime you have to announce there is no racism it's time to circle back.

La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
A repeat DUI is plenty serious but one factor for the law is he has not killed anyone yet. I would give him some time doing service in a BLM neighborhood and revoke his license. There is a difference and that is how the law works.

I would surmise that maybe the Sox did not know about the charges being filed right away. They might have been glossing things over a bit.

Thanks for giving Greg the attention and exposure he craves.

He is not going away and has 72 million supporters who don't object to his personality and character.

How bad are the Cubs going to be in 2021?
The Cub are right where I've always had them. Of mild interest as Chicago's NL franchise and occasionally entertaining and competent. I have nothing in common with their socially obsessed fan base and pay no attention to them. Right now the team is treading water and Theo plans to leave.

The onus is on Tony to change his ways. He is not beyond redemption. Chicago is not St. Louis and that won't fly here. Jerry grew up watching the other JR. This is what we are left with assuming he is not removed.

Minor League Upheaval
Is in progress. Twins are pulling out of Rochester hoping for St. Paul. Nationals are leaving Fresno maybe for Richmond. The upshot is that teams are being asked to localize their affiliates which could one day uproot the Sox base in NC with three teams. Possibly 40 teams are facing contraction, many involving the short season leagues who may turn into collegiate summer leagues. Some of the larger cities could end up like Fresno which will now have an A ball team. I foresee Rochester angling for an AA Eastern League entry. Throw in the heartbreak of a cancelled season and you have a confusingly fluid situation. Other cities are waiting for the hammer to fall from the secret list. MLB now calls the shots under a new agreement controlling the minors. In sum you have contraction, localizing, short season moving to spring camps and Covid leaving a murky mess.

I don't foresee a lot of group hugs. He will expect respect without necessarily earning it. It could affect team performance. Right now he seems to be in hiding.

Turns out the judges are not required to believe what campaign officials say on TV. Sounds pretty corrupt.
