Look at Ray Ray Run

Well said; I was speaking with my father about this today - he is 64. He is the smartest man I've ever met - I'm sure most kids say this - and I have great respect for my father. When I have a question or a concern, he is the first call I make. When I'm unsure if I'm right or wrong, same thing. His response, "you're not the same person at 75, 70 or even my age as you were in your 50's and 40's. We're stupid enough as a country to keep electing people that are of an age that as they decline we don't even allow the press to speak of it. It's science; I hate it, I feel it everyday. It doesn't get better, but as a business owner you have a choice... of course this is Jerry we're talking about though."

Respect is earned, not given. Arguing otherwise is complete nonsense. Universal respect for people older than you was merely a power mechanism. Don't give people things they are not worthy of, and they did not earn.

Gotta say, Sox sure know how to make a guy feel alive! Whether it's anger or happiness, they cover all the bases. Didn't get much done with work today, but enjoyed every minute of the day because the White Sox were doing White Sox things.

Oh man, I didn't see this earlier: So tony is a part of the "stop trying even though the game isn't over" crowd. As for Tony's last sentence, yes Tony that is what you're trying to do. Score more runs. The pitcher could try to throw strikes and not fall behind 3-0. Good chat, see ya out there. Tim, who said the only thing Tatis did wrong was apologize I'm sure will really love playing for the dinosaur. When Carl Everett comes back for the '05 anniversary, we'll be able to show him a dinosaur in person and shut his conspiracy nonsense down!

I hear ya, it was frustrating for sure. Maybe he loses focus sometimes, I would have no idea. I get how he rubs some more serious people the wrong way, but him playing the game the way he does is great for drawing kids and etc into the game and the team. He has fun in a different way than Tim for example. I enjoy them both.

Eloy gets up at 4am to work out and grind for 14 hours during the off-season. I don't think he has a lack of urgency or work ethic. He was embarrassed falling into the net; he wasn't having a blast, at least I didn't see it that way. I don't think Eloy needs to change a thing about how he plays the game, I just think he needs to improve defensively which is probably a pipe dream because he's just not gifted in that way.

Seems like a pretty terrible hire if you have to put a gag order on your players. Not a great start to the relationship if this is the case.

We have the oldest POTUS, VP, and SOH in the history of this country. Good news is things are going great, so clearly this is a good strategy. Hopefully the White Sox can be as successful in 2021 as 2020 has been for all of us with these great experienced elderly leaders in charge.

What's wrong with Eloy's personality? By all accounts he works hard AF, and he plays hard too. He has fun while he does it, and you want that taken out?

I gotta say, it seems real bad that not a single player has tweeted a thing.

Man, Bruce was in a rough place at that time. Good on Tony. That said, Tony said something this year - 10 months ago. As I was corrected earlier.

I'm actually not sure where this Hahn theory comes from; Hahn is a lawyer, his strength was contracts and the likes. I think Hahn is pro-data and metrics and saw it as imperative to win. I don't think Hahn has any sort of background in analytics or data though. Agree with your sentiment in general, just don't agree with "Hahn the data and analytics" guy. He's a sharp guy no doubt, and part of great management is giving jobs and roles to really smart people that know shit you do not, but Hahn isn't leading any data departments, or building and utilizing any data warehouses anytime soon.

These guys are douchebags so I don't care about their stupid policies; these are the same morons who put LaRussa and Selig in the HOF but told Barry he's not allowed. So the guys who knew about, profited from, and made their name off those players are reaping the rewards while the players are ostracized from the game. It's such a joke. That said, I knew they were going to be pissed about this.

He actually said the exact opposite in his presser.

Heard Bobby Knight may be the bench coach. Big news.

I looked it up because of that tweet too; I didn't realize it was 4+ years! My goodness.

Another guy who has been here longer than me, I feel like I'm gonna be sitting in row 8 by the time this roll call is finished. I remember many laughing at me when I said Tim Anderson had the best hands I'd ever seen at the plate; there have been people who were equal, but no one had ever been better. Even a dumass like myself gets a few right now and then.

You've been posting here longer than me so it looks like I'm moving back a row in the bus behind you. Lead the way.

If you walk in, and these are your doctors and you leave you're practicing ageism and it makes me sick!

You lost your license because I stated that brains decline as you age? You might want to take that up with other doctors; I'm not the one that came to those conclusions. How many 18 year olds you know with medical licenses? Is that ageism?

By the way, I love that everyone loves Tim now - MY GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, although I hope he doesn't comment to this post and say "I'm not your guy, buddy" - but I won't forget many here wanted him traded or moved off positions. No one cared about Timmy then, but for me and CWS and maybe a few others! I welcome you all onto the "what does tim want, that's what I want" wagon, but just know you're arriving late and youre not calling the shots.

Enough of the damn ageism; jesus christ, it's science. As you age into your 70's and 80's you have cognitive decline. Take it up with neurologists; it's not ageism to cite that age degrades cognition.

Marcus can't really be upset; he invited this on. Marcus' agent likely gave him a little jingle and let him know that Tony might be coaching for the team with the checkbook out and Marcus quickly said... people evolve, people change LOL

I'm just glad I believe/know managers are worthless, and I know hating your manager might get you to spite-produce haha, so the only real negative effect this moron could have on the team is PR related for the most part. I hate Jerry for doing this because it looked like Rick wanted to cry, but in the grade scheme of things it doesn't matter. Tony can sleep in his office all season for all I care, these guys are gonna go out and light the world on fire regardless.

I'm going to break some news for some here; the majority of white MLB players are conservatives. I'd guess many will vote for Trump. Aubrey Huff was not out of place in his locker room. Some viewed him negatively but in general he was not shunned. Take that for what you will. These are athletes entertaining us; many are not role models.
