I was like everyone else, stunned when they dumped Coop. But it was time. You look at Lopez, he's not getting better. I think they were afraid of the same thing happening to Cease, and perhaps Kopech. Of course there were injuries, but Rodon didn't really develop. Giolito got better, but went to outside help, ironically, Coop's replacement. They all said the right things, but it was pretty obivous, a change was needed.

Even if the Sox matched it, why would McCann stay when he can be the man? I have a feeling, if the Sox really want him back at some point, they will be able to get the Mets to trade him and send along some money in a couple of years when Grandal is done.

But Trump mentioned their containment. Of course the question could be what could they possibly have done to keep it from going worldwide. The other issue is Trump now blames China for his lack of action. He was soft because he was afraid his trade deal would fall apart for one thing, and who knows what else. He is Mr. Projection and has mentioned many times how Biden is in China's pocket. So I suspect Trump must be.

That's one issue. These people are nuts. This is a cult. Millions need to be de-programmed. They have lost all sense of reality;

FL Republican lawyer telling a group of republicans to move to Georgia for a couple of months and register to vote. He was pressed on this by the enemy of the people, the press. He then said he was joking. The fake news reporter checked. The day after he gave this talk. He registered to vote in Georgia.

I think the new regime can only help. Krause was Krause, although the Bulls always got players to play with MJ to get rings. Gar was a known liar. There is no reason to spend winters in Chicago if you aren't treated like a king or your path to the finals has obstructions. You look at the NBA, if you are in a cold weather city, unless you drafted a no brainer, you're pretty screwed. Especially now when the great ones have no problem moving on. Thibs had a decent rep, but Fred wasn't going to wow players and Boylen was a joke. I think they are on the right path. Hopefully someday soon, guys like AD will want to play for the Bulls while he's in his prime, not just to grab money like D Wade.

The Roger Stone is saying some ships from North Korea docked in Maine and unloaded shipfulls of ballots for Biden. I really think these people want to test the tipping point. They want to see how far out they go until the lightbulb finally goes on in their cult members' heads that they are being fed a load of shit. Telling them their money is going into Trumps pocket doesn't matter. They think democrats run child sex rings from pizza joints and eat abortions. There may be no outer limit.

The US death toll yesterday was higher than Japan's total for the entire pandemic. I give Trump an A.

This is classic.

China and President Xi have also been doing a great job. Very transparent. Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · Jan 24 China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!

If you remember when the task force meetings first started, the number of deaths was going to be 60,000. I remember Trump saying it probably would be less maybe 50,000. He's doing such a great job, he's getting calls from all over the world. The enemy of the people, truth tellers,, be damned.

Breaking records. No one thought it could be done. People are dying at rates no one ever thought possible. Trump should be proud. I thought Don Jr. told everyone to go to his instagram page, (it's probably another grift, he probably gets paid for the hits) where he has information no one is dying anymore. Probably just fake news.

What about Hector Noesi? Coop had big plans for him.

No surprise. It was time for Rodon. They don't have time to mess around anymore.

Engel should be used vs LHP and as a defensive replacement. If they pick his spots, he has a better chance to succeed.

He can throw. You could put him in RF and give Luis Robert some track shoes.

I think there used to be a rule where if you didn't offer arb and didn't sign the player before the arb deadline, you couldn't negotiate with him until May.

In a lawsuit challenging election results in WI, the brilliant ⁦@SidneyPowell1⁩ demands “48 hours of security camera recording of all rooms used in the voting process at the TCF Center for Nov 3, 2020 and Nov 4, 2020.” The TCF Center is in Detroit. Oops, wrong state. She really should be sanctioned at least, and perhaps have her law license revoked.

Why is this even a question? Vaughn may be the best hitter in the organization.

How about when the Sox went for it in 2016 and up the middle they were Dioner Navarro, Brett Lawrie, Jimmy Rollins and Austin Jackson.

He probably went to rehab for a couple of weeks.

Donald Trump Jr. is sending texts looking for donors, saying it's desperation time they need to meet their fundraising goals or the recounts are going to go against them. And virtual none of that money, unless the donation is over $8k actually goes to that effort, it goes to the Trump slush fund. First off, it's amazing to me that this grift is legal. Secondly, what scum. So far this grift has put $170 million into his pocket.

I think it was because what happened to them wasn't considered an outbreak. The league just gave them an L.

Mitch lit up Detroit's 3rd string in the 4th quarter at the beginning of the year, and a NY Football Giant dropped a TD pass right in his hands or the Bears would have lost that one. They really are no better than the Lions, and the Lions thought they were so bad, they had to clean house. Why are the Bears not cleaning house? They not only chose Trubisky over Watson and Mahomes, they had to get Mitch so badly, they gave up assets to move up 1 spot to get him. That and the ignoring of the offensive line should be fireable. They also gave up an asset and paid dearly in salary for Foles. WTF? These guys don't have a clue. It's time to move on.

If the guy can't play the OF, i don't understand why the Sox wouldn't spend the money on someone who can, or who can keep balls from going over outfielders heads. Vaughn and Abreu will be a fine 1B/DH team.
