He clearly graduated from the Pedro Grifol School of Public Speaking

Agree 100%. But you can be pissed as hell that JR poisoned your lifetime commitment. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

It is. Which is why people will argue tooth and nail for a well-run organization. This thread would be 2 pages if people didn’t care.

Think about what that says about how a lot of people feel about this organization. Think about what is driving those feelings, that they’re that crazy. It’s THAT bad.

We’re going to need a bigger mountain ……..

Since “big, modern thinking”, “private funding”, and “Jerry Reinsdorf” typically aren’t used in the same conversation, I’ve been trying figure the motive behind this. I know zip about estate law, but there’s been a lot of discussion (including from JR himself) about how he does/doesn’t want to pass things on to his kids. Is there any estate benefits to putting his money into this?

It’s just easier to have 5 years to brace myself for disappointment

So, because White Sox, they will sign Ortiz in 2029. Good to know.

He already did

This is what countering another teams’ “major move” looks like in the AL Central

We have been reduced to hoping another team saves the White Sox from themselves ….

They needed that to pay Moncada next year. The money will be spent.

TWTW ……..

So you thought you’d try OURS instead?!? Embrace the horror, Greg!

So THAT’S why everyone is talking about needing a pitch clock!!!!!

After four days: “weeeeeeee have just agreeeed, that we won’t win the 2023 World Series …..”

For those of you betting the over/under on when Sox fans would turn to drugs, the answer is apparently August 12th

And the rest of us got … what? He ain’t “one of us”

Alternate take (not saying I’m right): Right now Pedro is like “I can’t believe how F’d up this organization is. What did I get myself into?!?! You don’t like it, talk to the Morons above me!!!” I don’t know about all of you, but I’ve been there in a job. Maybe someday we’ll know.

Next meh up!

I think people should be using more “Golly gee whiz” in common parlance. Highly underrated. Right up there with “punkin’ head”.

Jeopardy translation: “what you hear when you play Tim Anderson backwards”

There’s rock bottom. Then there’s the stuff stuck to the underside of those rocks. And then there’s whatever this organization is.

If you want to see what A grand vision looks like What a professional presentation looks like look to our division rivals:

As a professional designer, my opinion: TOTAL lack of vision REALLY weak execution absolutely AWFUL presentation If I showed my clients something like this I’d be fired. I shared this with my daughter who is an interior designer that works on major architectural projects and she agreed. I’m still contending that someone in the org had their 16 year old kid do this because they knew how to use some free rendering software. Completely unprofessional work.
