Jerry knows and laughs every time he checks his bank statements.

This thread is about Jerry and his awful ownership of the team. I would say that looking at his 44 years of ownership would make sense as an appropriate sample, and 44 years is definitely not too small of a sample, nor would it contain recency bias. 7 postseason appearances in 44 years of Jerry’s ownership. That’s embarrassing.

I never said the 2020 season and postseason appearance didn’t count, but come on, it took a worldwide pandemic to shorten the season to 60 games. How often has an MLB season been shortened, other than the 1994 season in which Jerry screwed over his own WS contender over money. Anyways, do you think the Sox still win the division in 2020 if it went a full 162 games? They had half a rotation by the end of 60 games.

He is using recency bias of those two playoff years to apparently excuse the Sox for only making the playoffs five times in 30+ years, as if that makes anything look better for Jerry’s pathetic tenure.

Anyone who doesn’t acknowledge this is lying to themselves. They only played 37% of a normal season and by the playoffs, they had half a rotation left.

Regardless of the shortened season, getting spanked and not even looking competitive is a pretty trash outcome. Just stop.

Considering the White Sox have only made the playoffs five times in the last 30 years, it’s ridiculous for you to call out Lip on his comment.

Thanks. No idea how St. Ignatius played so well. They finished 2-7 on the season. That was BR’s closest game outside of the Mount Carmel loss. https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/illinois-high-school-football-ihsa-playoff-first-round-matchups-all-classes-statewide.amp (6) Chicago Brother Rice vs. (27) Rockford Jefferson BR should crush these guys. It was Jefferson’s first winning season and playoff berth since 1993. That’s 32 years. They went 5-4 this season.

And the fact that Varsho was never even moved after this thread was created. Regardless, Cease should have always been moved for prospects, not a 27 year old corner outfielder. The problem is that Getz chose the wrong prospects.

But you just named the other problem. Poles doesn’t deserve to be around and yet we have to hope he can fix things. I really don’t want to watch him botch another draft.

Fields actually had a good game and just eked out a win against the Bengals.

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.
