Sox looking at building in South Loop
At a minimum the Sox would have to retire all GRF obligations before retooling the ISFA pipeline for 78 funds. Anything else is simply not acceptable or tolerable to the public. In any event there is not enough funding to also fund Soldier Field and a new Bears project.

Cuz Jerry knows It Takes A Village (Idiot) to pay for all of this and it darn sure ain't going to be Jerry. I don't know the answer to all of this but it's going to take a lot more smoke and mirrors to git er done.

My Uncle Clevis from Battle Creek could build a better team.

He knows nothing about the Dodgers so why not the Royals.

Mlb.com Sox projected lineup and rotation is out
OK Gertz is going fundamentals and we have Sheets to match up with the visiting sluggers who will bash our brains in. ? It takes years after havin' Gavin to find a couple of decent sluggers.

Grifol's pre-season opening thoughts...
If I was a coach waiting 10-12 years for a managing gig I would have drawn up a master plan and strategy for winning baseball.

After three years of Gavin Sheets as your LH power bat you have Gavin Sheets again. At least Vaughn is one of their top RBI guys.

Grifol, Sox out to prove doubters wrong in 2024 (Merkin Optimism Series)
Scott Merlin is a sycophantic orifice. Gertz can't figure out what he is doing. Just acquiring 4A guys and see if they stick around. Maybe next year he will have a plan.

I've been going to Sox Park since 1963, often on the El and have never been mistreated. You have to breathe in the local vibe and run with it. South Loop is fine and the new downtown will be reinvented as the Sox join in.

Naivete would be finding out that the new 'Park Jerry' is AI only. It's still sort of almost kinda real.

Adding to the historical charm, the only source of artificial light will be the fans' cell phone flashlight settings, sponsored by Duracell on Google Play.

I would hate to hear the word Wrigley south of Madison St. Bridgeport is a big yawn where teams go to die. The new location changes everything.

To me the parking is a red-herring because I am not paying $50 for the privilege it will surely cost. Wondering what the useful life of the new park will be projected as. Also I was waiting on any comments about what the field dimensions should be or what they are considering. Finally, will there be any gender-neutral plumbing accommodations for either the players or the fan(s). If they extend the river walk it would allow a wonderful safe hike from the Loop offices with a group of walkers.

If you have a shitty org run by your drinking buddies a new park isn't going to fix anything. GRF is fine but the new plan sounds exciting. Let's see where it goes.

Our grandchildren are going to enjoy it.

If the Sox are using the ISFA as funding authority I would suggest JR needs to step up and pay off the GRF loan. Otherwise we don't want to hear about it and he should be embarrassed.

ST Thread
I think I will enjoy ST more than the season while learning about the new guys. I might not follow the season as much this year. This org is fairly dysfunctional. Getz is ho hum and likely has little financial authority. JR has become Cornelius Mack.

The only downside is the site might literally be a cesspool but it's OUR cesspool.

As long as there is room for Reinsdorf Tower beyond LF.

Sox don't have enough fans to fill those seats but they might draw some tourists. Half of us will never see first pitch.

Chiefs 24-21. I am rarely wrong. The bookies have banned me.

Tim Anderson Free Agency Discussion
There might have been a few hit songs that were only heard live. Stay and Runnin Back To Saskatoon come to mind. Conquistador live release was much better and a pretty big hit. The Who Shakin All Over was live only. American Woman Live At The Paramount is amazing. Maybe I'm Amazed?

Tim Anderson Free Agency Discussion
By the time Tim saw his career flame out it was too late. His demos don't always inspire second chances like a guaranteed deal. Hope he is working out somewhere.
