I mean I’m not gonna complain about dollar beer night. I just think we should temper expectations that he is a complete opposite of JR until we see it happen.

I am not willing to go that far. I think above all these guys definitely want to earn a profit, but I also believe that this is probably more of a winning/entertainment+profit proposition for them than what we have seen with the Reinsdorf current model which seems to be focus on your little income window and don’t do anything else

Dan Gilbert has multiple titles and currently has rebuilt the Cavs into one of the best teams in the East if not the league, look at his ownership record come on man. The Suns are middling around .500 this season but the Ishbias have spent and have dealt with injuries, and haven’t been afraid to do things like acquire KD, previous two seasons have been playoffs. I mean, all owners in the end are uber rich people that kinda suck, not sure why you think these two guys specifically are worse.

We still got Sheets last year and we are about to get colas back lmao

It’s kind of funny that a majority of that thread was like “THANK GOD THIS MEANS NO MORE SHEETS AND COLAS” and it really didn’t mean that at all

Can we not relitigate this fuckin story.

Disregarding everything that everyone thinks about him as a person, this guy has literally stolen 2 season of pay from this organization and gave us 28 games and like a 5 era. WHAT IS THE DRAW HERE

Marlins were 93-02, Cabrera had a cup of coffee there in 01 with Adrian Gonzalez, then looks like he jumped to high A edit: nope I misread he was there entire 01.

Yea it wasn’t a surprise when those kids (plus some pretty awesome FAs) won it all in 97 before the Front Office did the ole rug pull

I lived about five minutes from there back then, I could see the Fermi tower from my house. A friend of mine was a player foster house and Josh Booty, Charles Johnson and a few other names stayed with them during the season I also was a Funway “animal” in 1995, we would roam the park in the character outfits lol

There is no “percentage”. Fans are everywhere, neither team owns any specific area in the suburbs

Counting on Trevor Story doesn’t look too smart. Dude has been bad and unavailable in a Red Sox uniform

You really have no idea what you are talking about

I genuinely think that while this was a poor future financial decision, this was probably a pretty awesome and memorable summer

I’m not sure why you assume nobody can interpret it or it has no practical value? The new generation players seem like they are very in tune with it. I’m not a huge fan of Ian Happ when he calls into the score (because he is just super monotone sleepy), but he talks a lot about the information presented to him and how he uses it both in the box and on the field

Remembering a far off time in which I was told that my grammar would get me kicked out of school. Karma kisses the savviest right on the cheek

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt35669835/ I highly recommend everyone watch the documentary “We beat the Dream Team” on MAX. It’s about the college practice team that was brought in to scrimmage the dream team, it consisted of Chris Weber Bobby Hurley Anfernee Hardaway Grant hill Allen Houston Eric Montross Jamal mashburn Rodney rogers it’s a quick documentary but it’s pretty funny and until Coach K gums it up at the end, it’s really a fun doc.

“Technically provided” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

At some point you need to plant your flag with a staff. Doesn’t mean all five have to stay for their entire career but you gotta have someone be the ace/1/leader, and some guys that stay past their arb days. There aren’t many teams that are able to stay competitive with a constantly changing starting staff, unless they have a really damn good offense to help them out. And even then, those teams tend to run into a buzz saw in the playoffs I just don’t agree with their idea that pitching is something to use up and dispose of as soon as you need to invest more into it

The restaurant I worked at in Carbondale during college would soak the beef for a minute prior to serving and I must insist that it is the best way to serve it

Honestly the Sox are lucky to have him both as a lifelong fan And a writer, and I hope some other offer doesn’t land in his lap to take him away(although I would be happy for him advancing his career)

Just seems like it’s always the beef that’s been sitting in the tub too long so it’s kind of tough and doesn’t have the same zing

I can understand that part, close enough is good enough when all you want is a Chicago style dog or a beef
