Good lord the Nationals are bad

Schriff, dude, this team has not shown a great ability to reset lol

You have said this a lot and I wish you would stop. It’s incredibly insulting to the fanbase and it’s one of your worst, least thought out theories. And that is saying a lot

If Harper signed with the Sox it would have coincided with Andersons run as one of the better hitting shortstops in the league for the first 3 seasons of that contract. Who knows what happens with any of them, maybe Harper gets the injury bug that got all of them, maybe guys like Eloy avoid those stupid injuries, maybe everything stays static and the Sox have their run Peter out as fast as it came about. The point is, they didn’t invest in one of the best players in the league who is also a clubhouse leader, and wanted to come to the White Sox. They pretended to make an effort to sign him, and that’s worse because that is a stain on the organization around the league. Not that Jerry cares about any of that

Buddy, Smith and Schultz are no lock to make this team after last season.

I think for my part of the other discussion, the farm system success was relevant because it was translating to major league success. Luhnow was winning minor league titles and those players were moving up to an extremely good Cardinals team. and the Cardinals replacement for Luhnow went to jail for hacking his computer because he knew Luhnow had a great system!

As of today the Mets are in the playoffs. They might not be meeting expectations but they have a gamblers chance. This board would be THRILLED with that.

We are operating on “well, because another guy turned it around that means Getz is going to”. I can’t argue when you say “pedigree AND record doesn’t matter” because we all know it does. the Sox are likely to trade Robert, and the word is that is to free his salary up for whatever free agents they are gonna sign. So we are looking at filling gaps with around 20 million dollars. We could literally be staring at 4 straight years of 100 losses next season, and then a labor impasse in 27 which our fearless leader loves to participate in so he doesn’t have to pay bills. But it doesn’t matter good times a comin!

Ah I see. Nothing matters. Carry on

Luhnow had an incredible run in the Cardinals organization running their minors and was brought in to fix the Astros scouting and development. quite the opposite of Getz run in our minors. They couldn’t have more different resumes leading up to their GM jobs. And, you know; Luhnow actually interviewed for his job as opposed to having the league grant some weird ass exception to Reinsdorf if you want to compare them, then start at the beginning.

I prefer the GWB rendering of this song, for the accurate comparison to the Sox

I don’t know why he felt that way. None of his predecessors walked that path. It actually seems like a dead end as opposed to an opportunity.

The problem is that “better than a year ago” is “better than the worst team in history” which is just the bar laying on the ground for you to trip over. there is a long long way to go for this team to get competitive. Hell, there is a long long way to go for this team to be merely mediocre

Put a good squad in there and you get those seats filled immediately

Yea, the hawks don’t have the Cubs fandom, there is a drop off when the team is bad

3 rain checks, actually

Hundo baby. Can’t waste a season

Oh wow

Man what. I’m not defensive at all, it’s just a ridiculous assertion

lol wat? He has been a highlight machine all season

Cannon looked like he believed that he gave up another bomb to Judge lol

I mean, let him finish the inning at this point. He got those two outs might as well let him try and finish it instead of cannon coming in and possibly blowing it

Ellard just havin a time out there

And when Benetti did it, it was to work elsewhere, not to go home and chill
