Absolute master class in clock management there.

Stopped up the middle but you still have all the time in the world to run it in a half circle to the right. Ridiculous.

Caleb Fields. Hey, a Loveland sighting! Loveland over Tyler Warren. Awful.

It didn’t. 😢

Great throw, Caleb.

Sure, because expectations always increase, but he did a whole lot better than the Tribune did for decades in a few years.

It worked for the Cubs.

To be fair, I doubt WBWFS could do any worse than Hahn and Getz have done over the years. Afterall, Getz actually set the futility record.

RDS — Reinsdorf Derangement Syndrome. There are owners that actually want to win and make money.

He would have been like adding whip cream to a s%*# sundae.

Yep, it got slow in the middle but pretty cool Pelphrey is a good actor in everything he does.

Indeed.

BR going for an 8-1 record at all three levels (frosh, soph, and varsity) today. So far, their only loss at all three levels — Mount Carmel. 😡 Coach Q has turned around the program for now and the future.

St. Ignatius @ Brother Rice on Marquee Network right now. Mount Carmel @ Loyola on WCIU (26.1 OTA in Chicago area) right now.

Serious question — who is the last coach in the organization that has come back to haunt the Sox? Francona? And I think he left the Sox organization in 1995.

You never know… Perhaps Getz will give Clevinger his fourth shot at it next season with a ST invite? Who knows what goes on during Clevinger’s drug-fueled parties with his best bro Ben Pogofsky?

Yep, the only proof you need to know that Jerry is a businessman first and a fan second. He neutered a very good shot at a World Series over money.

How about wasting numerous years of Frank, Ventura, Magglio, Lee, Konerko, Durham, and Valentin? Wasting two superstars is brutal but so is wasting almost an entire starting lineup of stars or above average power hitters over the years.

It’s pretty easy to have very few failed big signings when you barely make any big signings to begin with and are the owner of one of only two teams left in the MLB that hasn’t given out a $100 million dollar contract. By cheapskate Jerry’s spending scale, the Sox have done horribly on most of their biggest signings anyways — see Danks, Dunn, Grandal, Keuchel, Benintendi.

Or be six feet under before any signs of improvement.

Yep, they both suck. Congrats to us.

Did I miss this story?

I can agree with most of this and that Jerry has spent in the past when the team was in competition. However, he is now on the precipice of selling the team. I don’t see him allowing Getz to spend any significant money within the next 3 seasons until he sells to Ishbia. So while I am no fan of Getz, I will admit he is pretty screwed over by Jerry when it comes to free agency.
