Once the ball gets rolling on that kind of thing it gains momentum and even guys who think otherwise because of this little thing called making adjustments are afraid to be the lone wolf. You'll be remembered longer if you're wrong going against the grain than you will for being wrong as part of a group wrong. Plus better to limit the young foreigners earning power. Owners could be driving that narrative just like they are trying to limit the HS kids in the draft. It follows suit that if you do that , you're older when you reach Free Agency and thus less super long, super expensive contracts. They hate those and Mune was in line to get one then all of a sudden he wasn't and he'll be 2 years older when he's gets another chance.

Not to mention the new draft rules seem to have been directly aimed at them while they ignored all the advantages given to the Astros who actually knew how to rebuild because they lost a crapload of games while Hahn and Co. actually kept signing free agents and won too much and never got the top pick.

Mike Schmidt didn't exactly come out blazing either as I recall from the back of his baseball card.

It was either by Fallout Boy in the 2019 comedy-horror Banana Splits movie ( I think 5 Nights at Freddy's might have been inspired by that movie) or... the Dickies version in Kick Ass It's also been in Boss Baby. And the Original Show goes back to 1968 .

"Vagisil" her name for Vasil. lol Ray Ray would like her and her potty mouth. Needs to have her mouth flushed by the bidet ! She takes longer with her curse than than Doctor Strange took making everyone in the universe forget Peter Parker was Spider-Man.

I didn't say he wouldn't add. I think he'll allow some additions but Getz isnt going for the throat here . He'll see what he can get at reasonable rates. But I don't think JR changes the way thinks just because he's near the end now. Bottom line is bottom line with him. Leaving his kids as debt free as possible when they sell the Sox so its mostly profit means a lot to him. Maybe if Sonny Gray is a salary dump they take a shot but then anything else is going to have to be prospects for a couple relief arms along the lines of Garrett Whitlock but not like Chapman. I actually hope the Rangers decide to sell but after the series with Cleveland they can start losing. They have a relief pitcher named Jacob Latz (from Lemont) who might make the All Star team and had a 2 inning save tonight vs. Cleveland so has 17 save and 2 blown saves and a great ERA and WHIP. Sox always look for the local guys to come home. He could be their biggest addition for th BP and people might be saying "Who" ?

Very good now u sound like me.

LOL The Banana Splits song. God forbid you're as old as me. I watched that show as a kid. Tra la la, la la la la, tra la la, la la la laaaaaa.

The way you think and the way JR thinks are probably miles apart.

I think I suggested that around a week ago. I also suggested that the Sox would get Kenley Jansen but he's as bad as Seranthony with 9 saves and 4 blown saves . He's got an OK WHIP 1.385 so that means he just gets hit around with a 4.38 ERA. Keep your eye on Jacob Latz of the Rangers. He's 30 years old and not Arb Eligible until next year. FA in 2031. He's also from Lemont so Sox may already have eyes on him. 16 saves 2 BS, 1.85 ERA , .067 WHIP. Rangers are a game below .500 and 3rd in the Wild Card race so they have to start losing for Latz to possibly be available. This is his 1st year as a closer. Our old buddy Yoendrys Gomez has 7 saves and 0 blown saves for MN. 1.263 WHIP, 3.55 ERA Still just 26 . Not Arb Eligible till 2029. Don't know about his options. Whitlock is a FA next year . 0 saves. 26.2 IP , 30 K , 1.050 WHIP. Really has come into his own the last 3 years as a setup guy.

Ryan McGuffey says that increase in attendance means its going straight to payroll so take it for what its worth . He said it on the ReKap podcast after the 22-1 win so unless you want to hear Guff rave about that win , forward the video to 6:20 way near the end to hear him say that. I've seen other sources that say revenue is way up but the question has always been that as a lameduck owner will JR actually spend it on payroll. Sorry I can't provide other links about revenvues being up. So if you have any tweets, podcasts, articles etc. , I think it's relevant to trade talks.

I saw that too pretty much right after his teammate got nailed with Colson still on 3rd waiting to score on the Gonzo hit. That's not good for Colson's back, that quick little lean forward after getting poked. Luckily he isn't as old as me.

Not much he could do except give him space. He wasn't going to rub dirt on it.

Just a comfort level thing. They ought to pump Sox crowd noise into their road dugout and play their walkup music and blast the cheers when they do good things ! Where's the boombox when you need it ?

Winning Ugly but winning is always pretty !

They only won like that in honor of the Winning Ugly team.

Had it all the way . Taco time with the Gonzo walk off !

You're all very lucky I showed up when I did !

SHeesh I leave all you guys to get us some runs and zippo.😉 Let's go boys just another one to come from behind and win !

I'll translate for anyone confused . Solo HR, 2 R HR, 3R HR, & a Grand Slam !

OH let's go Wegner there's a line for a new poem or Sox song since it rhyme. The Daze Before the Bidets !

Oh yay I didn't try to dictate anything. I did not make an edict and give you a ticket or dock your pay. I just thought you sounded like a Cubs fan more than a Sox fan with your constant whining about every little thing . You really can't help yourself.

So glad that Teel hit a HR and seems to be getting untracked. Peters... well damn ! Gonzo on his way to a Robin Ventura like resurgence after his 0-26 slump, now 5 for his last 8.
