Because Jerry, there's a guy who really cares about sports fans, and didn't literally make billions on the back of tax subsidies and free stadiums. Good lord.

Assuming all goes right, yeah something like May/June seems on the if things go well side.

2030*

No.

And this is the team our attendance is on par with. Look, this is EXACTLY why Jerry wants to leave Bridgeport for the 78.

And because this news is out there, it is begging MLB to get involved. It has happened before.

Well, the biggest danger is that MLB invalidates the deal because it was reached illegally.

I gotta say I do like that Sox staff is getting promotional looks, but I also can't help but remember the great Satan himself Rick Hahn also turning down GM interviews before he was handed the Sox job. I will also say that I know what we all think of Jerry, but the Orioles might be one of a couple of franchises run more poorly than the Sox right now. They had an obviously small window and just absolutely pissed it away.

I could tell you, but then I would have to run you through a democratically elected board of Trustees who decides what is allowable and what must be escalated to another board who then decides what to elevate to the status of needing further review. Just kidding. We'd kill you.

It was, and it has been moved to record keeping for posterity.

And this is why Soxtalk quit allowing politics. This is over now. Thanks guys.

Right groin strain

Walks first batter, then throws 1 pitch to the 2nd one and exits without another throw. Waiting to hear why.

New ownership might also want a more integrated neighborhood.

The 2030 class? As in the international market? If that is accurate this kid would be 11 or 12 years old right now. Seems kind of crazy.

He is 33 years old, but still isn't eligible for free agency for basically another full season.

Hopefully Vargas is actually healthy

They have had almost 40 years to do that, and they still have not. Pretty clear it isn't going to happen.

They had a farm team that was already better than the White Sox and they spent the season doing nothing but adding to it. They may be down, but they won't be nearly as out. Meanwhile the Sox managed to cash in on only two guys and kept a bunch of others who should have been cashed in on.

Um, why Altavilla? He's had a great year.

Williams has a lot of flaws, but he also has a ton of upside. I really get the impression that this is the first real coaching that he has gotten as a professional, so I am definitely willing to give him this as if it was his rookie year. He obviously needs to get tightened up on his reads and his throws, but at the same time you can't deny the toolbox. Keep working with him and see what happens because we are a ways away from even knowing what Caleb is.

Yeah, I mean probabilities do exist for a reason, but nothing is absolute. It's a futile exercise in counting your chickens before they hatch.

It's almost like when I said there was a 100% chance that some of these guys would fail, I was right. Anyway, just like this season, guys are going to break out, while others flop. I know I would have laughed at the idea that McDougal might have had the best season for a SP at a higher level going into the season. You can make educated guesses, but baseball is baseball for a reason.

Especially bad when the Vikings return game kicked our asses all night. Their big returns shortened fields, and allowed their offense great starting field position, especially in the 2nd half.
