To be fair, I will see in the M's case, a guy just popping off at the mouth is a factor less than either the Mets or the White Sox situations.

I have about 50,000 pics on my PC at anytime. I don't want to lose those or a lot of my docs.

Oh good lord. Do you run around saying OJ was innocent too? Doesn't carrying the water for Jerry get tiring?

I put all of my old computer ones on an external hard drive.

Wow, what a mess.

I had almost forgotten about Hansen. Still really hoping to get some explosions out of the low dollar Latin bunch. Man would it be nice to see guys like Tatis, Sosa and Torres start to blow up.

I just spend the 35 for HR Black tax cut every year. That way I have it on the computer, and I don't have to worry about anything.

This. Start a new return and run with different settings.

Now this is how you lose service time lawsuits. All plausible deniability just got flushed down the toilet. On a personal note, watch how quickly this guy leaves his job, and realize that we are about the only organization who would look the other way at employees like this.

Because posts like this just settle everything down... instead you turn threads into more back and forths on the topic. If you want it to go away, quit responding to it! Take your own advice, quit acting like a pretentious preacher and relax. These posts make it 10 times worse and piss people off all over again.

This is exactly the crap I am talking about.

I mean the biggest problem besides hiring a two time felon and trusting him not to be a felon again, is the Sox have totally gamed the fans on this topic. At the beginning they hid behind the legal process and kept saying they wouldn't talk about it until the legal process happened. Then the legal process happened and nothing was really said. Now that we are to spring training with nothing said, Rick Hahn is out there saying this was all 4 or 5 months ago and isn't worth talking about. The topic hasn't gone away because the Sox still are avoiding the topic. So instead of having one bloody press conference, or god forbid, doing the right thing here, we are getting death by a thousand cuts and we get a piece of a rumor here, and a bit of story there, and it just keeps going because the team refuses to be in front of the entire story. It is obvious they view it as the fans can go f*** themselves, and just need to deal with it, otherwise they wouldn't keep insulting our intelligence by pretending to take this whole thing seriously. Their strategy is quite literally to pretend it doesn't exist and just to wait until people quit talking about it. So instead we are now months down the road, and it isn't going away. The same people are pissed and insulted, and the team is publicly saying that it doesn't matter, and they don't care. This is the Chicago White Sox fault, and it will keep going until they acknowledge the drunken elephant in the dugout.

So do it. Hopefully you aren't so worried about what everyone else is thinking that is affects your enjoyment of the game.

And attitudes like this are exactly why fans are pissed and not getting over it. I promise you the worst way for a person to start to deal with something, is for judgey people to tell them to get over what is bothering them and accept it as is.

I can't imagine working this hard to carry water for Jerry Reinsdorf. Pass.

The whole Tatis contract futures thing got me looking around the internet, and I came across this. Thinking seriously about it. https://evoinvest.com/

We had ammo all winter long, but the bullets stay firmly in the box.

Here is how I envision this conversation going.

The top guy who didn't make it is Ben Bailey. I also don't see the younger Tatis, jose Rodriguez or Bush. For all of the love Ramos got this off season, he also wasn't on there.

An interesting list for no other reason than to see who the Sox seem to favor enough to bring to camp early for the extra work and exposure, and also who they don't.
