  1. I am old enough to remember when eyeball emojis meant something
  2. Lots of teams built ballparks back in the days when the public was supportive. But now, the new era of a non support oriented public would need to support building not just the ballpark around a legacy of failure and bad feelings. For a hated owner. This city will need a new owner with deep pockets, and public admiration willing to meet some of the cost in order to sign off. The stank is too big of an obstacle for Jerry to overcome. Some years ago when the south loop had development momentum he stood a chance to be involved, but missed the window. He's done for this, and we are done with this. I have been a vocal opponent of this owner for 30 years, and it burns more red hot every year that passes. Now it seems like the entire fanbase is on the same page. I wish I knew why he had so much benefit of the doubt, and for so long.
  3. It was assumed. Jerry tries to boil us frogs raising it 1 degree (errr) billion at a time
  4. I think you mean Jerry Reinsdorf. As long as he runs the team, nothing changes. Same crappy minor leagues. Same crappy attitude about paying superstars. It would be a great thing with a new owner. I hope the governor doesn't give Jerry a single cent. It's time for the fans and state government to choke this fucker out.
  5. Am I understanding this correctly. Eloy and company never tried to play a majority of a season before? Now, the plan is to not only do that, but to do what nobody else is doing, like an iron man. Eloy is a troll guys.
  6. All the things you could’ve got done. But you didn’t. Because you got high, and had to write that post.
  7. that's propaganda meaning, they don't think Getz has the leverage to get what he wants. It doesn't necessarily mean it was out of line. They perceive the Sox and Getz to be too weak to be able to get their asking price. Again, people need to slow it down, and wait for the leverage. What's the hurry? Can't wait to get to our 95 loss marathon?
  8. Circling back. Meaning Getz sticking to his guns on trade compensation was perfectly reasonable. People are just impatient
  9. From my sources, Getz is building a team in his own image
  10. He's figuratively Adam LaRoche, Kevin Youkilis,.... this list goes on on on Sox lore
  11. If people accepted that they aren't trying to win, all the stress goes away
  12. Those guys will craft any narrative which goes against the grain of popular opinion, because everyone else is stupid. They're so much smarter, and they endeavor to belittle.
  13. Sox fans hate buses and trains. That’s a shame. Place will be empty You’re right. We haven’t seen renderings yet, so obviously it’s going to be a fan-unfriendly dump.
  14. Why was Jerry able to do this, and not Kevin Warren? This question is not being asked, but for Bears fans, inquiring minds want to know. This has the potential to upend the new Bears Chief
  15. So I haven’t kept up how this is able to be financed at least in part with public assistance that is ostensibly not available to the Bears?
  16. It makes sense for Jerry to do the wrong thing. I believe you.
