Look at Ray Ray Run

I've got a little one on the way this summer, and I'd love to bring 'em to a WS game while my wife panics about the crowd size and noise! Hoping the little bastard brings some good luck!

I get that, but the reason someone like hawk is blaming brooks is because brooks probably did some market research and determined Hawk had lost his way AND he was a risk to the organization because of his gramps tendencies (meaning he was a risk on air to say something damaging.) Obviously brooks has nothing to do with the product on the field as you noted, and it's not as if hawk not having an opinion on org operations would be a bad thing anyway.

It's a great two days to take off work and enjoy America's greatest game. Here's to a clean slate, a fresh start, and hopefully a season as great and unexpected as much so as last season was poor and disappointing. In grifol I trust.

Lol at the idea that the reason the org sucks is because of the CMO.

I loved how much hawk loved the sox, he was like me. That said, at the end the innings of silence when the team was going bad made the bad feel so much worse. That's where hawk lost me.

Money to be made out there! Got 40-1 on WS for $500. Got 3-1 on division for $1000. Me and Vafan gonna be $23000 rich come October. Let's go!!

I see you Jerry manual!

If you can't fill with anyone else by eow, dm me and I'll join. Not a big fan of daily lineups, but will fill it out if needed.

Beef and food in general is crazy cheap

This guy out here dropping colombia locals. Colombia has some solid players. No quintana this time, bum. Rooting for colombia after the US. Medellin is an amazing place! Big time recommend. Guatape is great too.

This whole thing to me comes down to what you're trying to get out of Fanhood. I'm a pessimist during the off season and an optimist during the season. Online and in media, hysteria sells. I get it. At the same time, I don't like the overly negative attitudes and agree with Tim. Harder on them than anyone. No point in beating a dead horse.

Who cares? My goodness. Nothing he said in that garfein interview was meaningful.

Of course he takes a shot at the history of things. The org is a flat out embarrassment. Never signing 100 million dollar player as one of 4 organizations in baseball.

This seems like a terrible misrepresentation. Tim is complaining about the org. Then says he's not looking in the LF dollars market and it's a shame because the org doesn't go bigger than that. He literally says "dudes a great player" after he brings it up. Don't feel like there was any shot at andrew.

Padres signed Darvish to 6 (4) year extension for 108 million. Starts next year. Wild.

Again. It's never happened. Problem is you're thinking like a die hard white sox fan and not like a CEO trying to elevate brand awareness. Also, why would Reinsdorf care if they called it at Comiskey Park. It was comiskey the first 10 years of his ownership. He sold the rights to the name to make more money. Other teams were doing it. If someone wanted to pay him more, why would he say no?

But oriole Park and Camden yards are not brands who bought naming rights. Camden is the street and the name the governor wanted and oriole Park is self explained and the name the team wanted.

That wintrust wanted to spend a ton of money to rename a stadium an old name that has nothing to do with them? That just makes no sense. Given the point of naming rights is advertising and getting eyeballs, there's a reason no one has won naming rights to a stadium and called it something unrelated to them. Businesses just don't operate that way.

Thought we traded for Domingo German and we were cornering the market on domestic abusers. * *I should add alleged. My pal rabbit gets mad when you don't assume the woman is lying.

Enjoyed the read, not saying anything is not true or made up by you, but this part is clearly bullshit: “Wintrust offered a much better deal than Guaranteed Rate but part of what Wintrust wanted is the name had to be changed back to Comiskey Park and Jerry Reinsdorf didn’t like that at all. He also wasn’t told some of the details in the agreement that may have made a difference had he knew.”

Balance scheduled going to be interesting for the ALC.

They'd be crazy to start Maeda over Ober imo. Maeda about to be 35, out all last year and already had an injury history. Maybe you can get some meaningful 6th starter outings out of him and some decent relief work. If he threw over 100 innings this year I'd be very surprised.

It's actually Jasrado Prince Hermis Arrington Chisholm Junior

You think they put Ober in the pen? I was thinking it would be Ryan, Gray, Lopez, Ober and Mahle. Paddack out. Ober better than the rest when he pitched and being that big out of the pen can be challenging.

Lopez is awesome. He's had some weirdness happen to him in his career, but he was one of the best arms in baseball first half last year before breaking down a bit in the 2nd half. He had never thrown more than 120 innings in a pro season until last year, but he's got a great build and think he can be a horse. Wouldn't at all shock me to see Lopez in the top 5 of AL Cy voting in one of the next two years.
