Hence it being "irrational"

People want to see history. I remember being at a game in the mid 1980s where Dave Steib of the Blue Jays was pitching a no hitter against the Sox at Comiskey. As we got through the 7th and 8th innings, the fans slowly switched over and were cheering each strike and out against the Sox. We got to the 9th, no hitter in tact trailing 6-0, and Rudy Law hit a homer leading off. The fans first booed, and then finally got quiet. Bryan Little came up next and homered as well. There were a few boos, but mostly applause. Then Harold went deep, and the place was all back to Sox fans.

This is what a team that has quit looks like.

And just a genuinely good guy too. It's a damned shame.

I was at a state wide convention earlier this week for other like board members. I ended up randomly sat next to someone at a social-business event who was previously a basketball coach in the town where I got my start in broadcasting. We spent hours talking about friends in common, games in common, and different memories and experiences. Sports is a way that even if you have never met a person you both own a set of shared experiences that can make you instant old friends.

Or that these guys have been hurt literally every single season so acting like this was a surprise is intellectually dishonest.

I wonder how much the Sox ratings have gone up the last two days?

Much like we saw with Hawk, Stone has been on a steady decline for a number of years now.

And yet, here you are.

Considering the current state of the team and international operations? Signs point to no.

Normally that would excite me, but we will probably end up with the corpse of Robinson Cano or Lamarr Hoyt.

Maybe at AAA.

Any real behavioral economist would tell you most of your decision making is irrational anyways.

They had TA traded, but Kenny killed it so it doesn't fit.

Seriously that was an absolutely absurd statement. Thanks.

There will be more dodges than a Chrysler lot.

Eh, it's a 120 loss team. That's the worst part for us. I am just glad it hit him too.

Also

That's actually 200,000

At the very least it hit him in the pocketbook, and will continue the impact into next year.

But what if I won the powerball while getting elected President?

You act like there is a difference between that and those guys. Oh right, they aren't 35 yet.

That's not fair. He also got some 27 year old OF future utility players.

As close to simultaneously as it takes him to answer his Jitterbug.
