We probably should have gotten one of the top 3 tbh. Happy, but maybe you hold out until you do

I think we should stop being disappointed. They are not trying right now. They are years away from putting together an actual real team. If ever.

No, It’s the family.

Jerry laughed at significant acquisitions. The combined stillness and turmoil shall continue

I don’t question any of that. I only question what good is Robert in Chicago in whatever form he takes. We’re not looking at competing any year soon. I’d be jumping at any chance to get younger right now.

Question is… but why?

We need something that forces Jerry to have a robust and intelligent investment in creating young and talented minor league rosters. Then, we can join the big show’s bottom tier

Don’t we even have Japanese ‘Madrigal’ now in the system? Of course. We want all the Madrigals.

When he’s hitting .195 after a few months, should be fairly academic. But more time on the farm wouldn’t change much

Getz dumpster diving career goes on

You’re soft. You are easy. And a victim. You are a mark. You’ve got Jerry Reinsdorf dancing with his $800 leather shoes on top of your head, and that’s somehow what you enjoy. Being taken advantage of is not my bag baby. I’ll let you do that.

You take pride in that pop up champion? Explain that to me. I have pride, they can’t buy me off that easy. I demand more as a Chicagoan that loves the city and all its institutions other than the Cubs, which I respect adversarially. Hell I defend Chicago against haters from Chicago, and elsewhere. Because it is objectively a world class city. The White Sox, yeah. No. If they can please you and gain your devotion with 2005, and a lifetime of failure, that’s your choice.

Indeed

The Sox prove it was luck, not design every baseball season.

It’s more important for me to support a system of team building that sustainable. A freak occurrence 2005 has no value to a fan like myself. It’s fine. But you pair it with a thousand years of ineptitude, f*** that. Who cares about 2005 it just highlights the gross incompetence of this franchise that it’s never going to be repeated because it was an accident, a bug, not a feature. You can have it.

Getz is what he is. But Reinsdorf set him up as the quick turnaround guy, and stood him up as the alternative to a more talented outside man. Therefore Getz is gonna take all the heat possible for Reinsdorf for repeatedly inflicting mediocrity into Chicago, and if you’re not getting it, you’re part of the problem.

Do people get credit for doing a job under duress while they are responsible for their duress?

Yes. That’s fate. And also this can be the signing that Jerry allows because he’s in trouble with the fans. And then, that’ll be all.

Do these interests, limitations whatever we call it convert to wins is the question.

A new name only matters if JR decides to finance an expansion of the department

Has there been a comparative trainer study?

And that goes for Roger Bossard as well. No effing idea. The Mozart of Turfbuilder according to Hawk. One thing about the Sox, they can hire the GOAT ancillary staff. Or Hawk is the GOAT suck up. You want to work next to Hawk, because he’ll make you famous

I don’t know how good it was in reality. I was led to believe it Herm was good because Hawk and Co would always be hyping him up on TV

Wow. He ruled out his quick (Getz) turnaround already.

Glad the Sox Cuban pipeline dried up. They’ve been so lazy with that s%*#. Maybe now they’ll scout the DR and sign 19 cheap prospects like all the other teams
