seems like it will be Lloyd. Too cheap to get Bob Meyers to bring us out of hell. Gotta find a young guy that can be best friends with the failson.

I am ok with this. If Sosa ends up being incredible, I will be annoyed. He just seemed so baseball-dumb. Seeing a lot of prospects with extreme power profiles, then a lot of 'great fielders, ok hit tool, low power'. You'd hope the latter develop power, the former become well rounded. Please god let it work at some point.

I actually think that makes more sense on the calendar than the “draft with the previous scouts” thing, and probably easier to hire your next group. But obviously most are tied to the coaching search. But the timeframe orgs select GMs is pretty silly

Old enough to remember when we thought Presti was about to leave for the bulls (instead we got AK - the guy who somehow had been with the nuggets 7 years and wasn’t mentioned in the 10k word story that detailed how they built a championship - and literally like that entire fo was mentioned. Then like 2 years later the actual architect leaves. Can’t imagine getting to watch two sports organizations run my whole life, know I can run it, and just be such a dipshit. Michael Reinsdorf.

That said - maybe we’ll get lucky

It’s very attractive to lazy frauds who know they can get a GM job for at least 6 years showing zero acumen. Hell…why again did they let this group trade away all their assets then get mad when they are finally tanking? They got horrible value back.

Man we still play so much better at home. Hope they can improve in the road soon.

Gotta say hate listening to him is one of the few enjoyments of the games for me. It’s like they gave Ned Flanders the job. I want him to fail every moment.

Ngl it felt so good to see a win. I’m dying for some baseball to matter. One game at a time I guess.

I was living in a suspended state where I just handed off my opinions to some national writers saying the sox had a productive offseason, but when that opening day roster came out and I was hit with the atrocious starting rotation, the bullpen without vasil, and that 'outfield' I realized that the sox are just trying to do everything in their power to kill baseball for us. Opening weekend was sickening. Can you imagine if we didn't get murakami?

Woof

Remember when we were up 1-0

except I think we started the year with a better staff in the majors last year than we have this year.

I feel like they pay them free tickets and players just hope it helps with autograph partnerships. Sort of kidding

I have no idea, I thought we had a solid offseason but you could easily see a situation where the pitching help expected to come in June all has slow starts/injuries and we have a completely gassed bullpen and miserable staff for most of the year. If that doesn't happen, I think once May comes around the season will be enjoyable and I hope for 75 wins.

Buddy ncorgbl has seen the contract and it is not in there

let it be the last day under freezing as well!

I feel like south loop condo owners will be big fans of this. Really glad this is being developed. Grateful for my dear billionaire.

Feels like Bears have been pretty dang transparent in their moves in past, and feels like we are headed toward a budget offseason. I'm hoping that Trent Williams could be the splash, but kinda horrified at this defense. It seems like it's possible they roll out something worse.

unbelievable news, drew dalman let bears know he is retiring according to schefty

I'm gonna call up hawk. You think they aren't learning how to win? They are!

We are in spring training threads, no more talk about how it don't matter. This is life and death baby.

Esp with their legit lineup

At first I thought we were a World Series caliber team. Then we lost one, but then we won and now we lost again. i don’t know what to think 😕

It's just the wrapped upper deck, basically. If they bring that back, we'll miss the integrated skyline views of some stadiums. ALways be trading on nostalgia, but you do have to get to the nostalgia age.
