Stinky Stanky

More hustle than the next three guys and a great attitude. Whole lotta other guys I'd rather wave goodbye to. But, it's true the production could have been better.

You're right but I coulda sworn he was bigger. I also didn't remember how awful his passing stats were. Fields has already surpassed that level, but still overthrows some. If these coaches can get him fixed, it's an indictment of the last Bears' staff and his college coaching.

He does evoke memories of Bobby Douglas, as the radio booth kept telling us. But Bobby never took that final step as a passer. It's not for sure that Fields will, but at least he's gotten this far. Running so much increases the chance that he'll get broken in half by some bozo and he's not an oak tree like Bobby was, but keep the faith.

Spring Training will be of really big importance in 2023. Didn't you feel TLR just let them do it on their own in 2022? Gotta instill a new culture in these mopes.

I take it that you manage people somewhere? Look, your approach worked for Cairo, for about a week. Long term, ass kicking gets stale real fast. It's 2022, not 1922.

Might not be 100% right, but far from wrong. Look at the roster. Midgets at PF and not enough three point shooting to play the modern NBA game. Can't complain about tonight's game, though. A lot of it was the "Celts suddenly can't make an open shot for some reason" defense.

Remember when Veeck took over the club the second time and Ron Schuler was under contract as a pitcher but couldn't pitch any more so Veeck made him pitching coach to save a few bucks? Are you ready for Manager Leury Garcia? (don't have kittens, it's a joke)

Dragic still has quickness, hits the three. That's good. Slovenian, in the north of former Yugoslavia, good balance to the two Montenegrins on the roster. That was in the extreme south of the country. Drummond gets you the ball, that's good too. Javonte Green, 6'4" and still clearly better than the #4 draft choice, Williams, useless inside or outside. Three point shooting looks better, essential to keeping defenses off out mid range guys. Sox not in season, Bears boring and I don't do hockey, so keep me entertained, guys.

He lost me when he said he was bringing swag.

This is the definition of a rhetorical question. Didn't W. C. Fields once say "I'd rather be in Philadelphia?"

You're blaming him for Wheeler?

On the Bulls game last night, Jason teamed with Stacey King. He's better at basketball than he is at baseball and while we're at it, he's better than Adam Amin. Ah, Stacey makes everyone better. The humor between him and Jason was genuine and funny, as was the laughter. Adam Amin is good at quoting statistics. Otherwise, the best I can say is that he's no worse than mediocre.

Got a Konerko type right here, right now. Managerial potential? I don't know Jose, other than what I see on the field. Ross was a catcher and a grandpa figure to the players. Advantage them. This board, like all the other fan boards, has the tendency to explode over hangnails.

Cubs had a real nice post-ASG under David Ross and developed some fine young pitching. Good hire and a first timer to boot. Better FO and owners than the Sox? You know the answer.

Shoulda stayed with Ricky but he acted sort of nutty right before the playoffs and Reinsy had an itch you know where for the guy that was eating on his mind since godknowswhen and we just wasted two years. Let me echo what I see here for a younger smarter guy.

Rooney wanted to go to St. Louis really badly. The first time the job was open, the Sox enforced his contract and made him stay against his will. When he finally did go, his contract was up for renewal so he wasn't encumbered. You're spot on about Jason vis a vis baseball and football. Rooney? Couldn't draw a picture with words like the great ones can. I know I'm in the minority around here.

I last heard him with Kasper. He's getting there. I'm not sure he needs drawing out, since his early problem was yapping too much.

Gordon's improving. Don't tell me you don't hear it. Also don't tell me that Stone isn't irritating in a different way. I'm neutral on Kasper, but he belongs on TV. He's too terse for radio, sort of an Ed Farmer type. Benetti too good to be confined to the lil' old White Sox? How did guys like Mel Allen and Vin Scully survive? Jason has got to decide who he wants to be.

He's still a 6'7" PF.

Yeah, Anderson was poor with the bat and Ozzie brought the hammer down right away. Makes me wonder if he might have progressed if he was handled differently. Mike Cameron hit sub .200 for a season and kept the CF job. Most of us thought Anderson was a party animal and didn't like him. Others who did far worse seem to be made of Teflon.

I'm willing to come back.

Look at the bright side of the muffed punt. Fields didn't have to try and take the team 60 yards in 2 minutes without a time out. Could have been embarrassing.

Got a question about the game here. When Harrison scored from first and was lucky to beat the throw as he slid by and tapped the plate with his hand, his feet were already 5 feet past the plate. Shouldn't he have just slid right in and beat the throw easily? Otherwise, they got breaks and Gio got away with atom balls. I'm still glad they won.

You know, I may have unintentionally said something smart there, in spite of myself. The key is roster construction. We had too many power hitters and no leadoff man. Lee for Pods fixed that, even though on paper it was a trade down. Then KW added a good bat handler with a little power to bat behind him (Tadahito). Everyone in the lineup could hurt you with the bat. Ozzie trotted out the same lineup every day and didn't worry about being rested for the playoffs. Right now they have an abundance of DH types and a bunch of holes to fill. Could a smart GM do something with that? Wish we had a smart GM.

Hahn is one lucky duck for that. Quack, quack. Although Hahn is German for rooster.
