  1. I understood what you were doing. My remark wasn't aimed at you...just my two cents.
  2. I don't believe the Ishbias bought 35% of a club so that JR could 100% control their investment. My guess is Ishbias will be taking over sooner rather than later.
  3. Yep...shortstops, center fielders, and left-handed stud pitchers.
  4. The back story of the black Sox scandal was that Eddie Cicotte was cheated out of a $10,000 bonus by then-owner Charles Comiskey.
  5. It is hard to claim that JR is operating "in the best interest of baseball." He is doing more damage to the game than Pete Rose did.
  6. Yep...Jerry brings in TLR, and the rest is history. Can't wait for a new owner!
  7. In both cases...the owners were responsible.
  8. Jerry has no pride. What a terrible way to end his "managing partner" era.
  9. I agree...when you are losing, try something new. When you are winning...leave well enough alone.
  10. Ishbia isn't nuts...this has already been worked out IMO. I seriously doubt Ishbia is going to allow JR to handle his investment for the next 10 years.
  11. I think Venable is changing the culture.
  12. Benintendi is on pace to break Hack Wilson's RBI single-season record. It would be better if he did it for us.
  13. Reminiscent of the 4 games you are referring to.
  14. That clubhouse celebration after the game tells me you are correct.
  15. Ishbia better hurry up and close the deal before JR raises the price.
  16. Today, they look like a team that will win more than 50 games.
  17. Jerry didn't like him. That's how it works in most companies. I loved the job Himes did, but I get that if I owned the club, I would want my guys running things. As the saying goes, rank has its privileges.

    Quite an improvement.
  19. Will Venable is the only interesting addition to this club. In about 2 years we will be glad to have him IMO.
  20. Gee...I wonder if a new managing partner would help.
