Harry Chappas

Would you rather be the Indians/Twins or White Sox. Personally I'd rather have a shot going into every season as opposed to once every 10 years. If the cubs don't make the Chapman and Quintana trades they are looking much better right now that what they did. They may not have the World Series but they have talent currently. I may be the exception though of wanting sustained success over a title. Once the title season is completed, it does nothing for me. I take the Dodgers 2010-2019 over the cubs same run even though the cubs won the title. I'd take the Indians and Twins 2000-2020 over the White Sox.

I am not a fan of the hire but to expect a death spiral and implosion because he is the manager is a bit of a reach in my mind.

But this did not happen in his previous years of managing......so now Jose Abreu will no longer appreciate Jerry and the loyalty that he has shown all these years to the organization is out the window? I get no liking the move and feeling that the fit is not right but I really think people are acting like this is Jim Boylan.

Seeing as it was not even a role previously he can do no worse.

He is a televangelist but he has somehow overtaken the GOP

The President of the organization is not even qualified to hire football people yet he is the president of a professional football organization. They need a person with a football mind to run the organization and a person with a business mind to run that side of it. Ted Phillips got he city to build the Bears a stadium and as such who cares what happens. I could give a flying f**k about how pissed Virginia and George are currently. That means about as much as Matt Nagy talking about how everyone NOW needs to realize where they are in the season...sigh

Wonder who the mcaskeys are going to hire to find them a GM and coach this time. Is Ernie still doing it?

I have not attended church since March but give online. Every service should just be online with a manner of giving to local organization. We do not need to go in person at this point.

Podcast with Chuck makes you like him even more. Can no longer question his work ethic.

There is no doubt that Stone has the correct information. Why wouldn't Tampa ask for Robert? I don't think you make that trade but that is certainly where they would start.

One of Crochet, Vaughan or Kopech and Cease and then filler (Dunning/Heuer/Burdi/etc.). That is it.

Sox would have to give the cubs permission to speak with Hahn as it is a lateral move....maybe that is just in football.

Hope they dont use a helicopter to deliver.

If the White Sox win 88+ games the next 6 years it will be a success because every day will be enjoyable over the next 6 years. As far as Theo goes I compare him to Bowman in some regard. Had some powder to start with and got to spend on FA but could not sustain it.

The hope with Burger is he stays healthy and is a golden ticket to move at the deadline. Hes got a top 5 potential in the Sox system if he can stick at 3rd. He must have looked good this summer and fall.

He seems to be a pretty easy guy to root for and if it works out it is good story. To lose him while Seby and Yermin take up spots is my issue. Not a big issue but still an issue.

I could see Oakland taking him and it working out. A team in tank mode would take him as he is cheap and a high draft pick who has been out for a couple of years for injury. Why not take him? He is not a pitcher who had surgery and may not be the same. He has a good hit tool.

Hopefully Cairo can have a training session on the effects of the lip of the grass on a baseball. Seems like a really solid hire. This whole thing continues to point toward Jirschele taking over for 23 season. I wonder if McEwing moves back to 3B. That would be odd that TLR would not keep him around.

Yes until there is death this virus is not a concern. I wish I was joking but that to me is the reality I see in the world today.

Bears President is Ted Phillips and he is going no where.

I do not think that contract is a steal. When was the last time he put a full season together. I thought 2020 and second half of 2019 were good but I think there is still enough risk there of injury and age. I think Madrigal is too much to give up based on Yu's age and injury history.

Darvish and Heyward....if you ae giving them prospects add Bryant and remove Heyward.

Exactly they gambled on the neighborhood being an entertainment destination and then poof that was all gone. They will recover as the family will prop it up for a while but Joe Ricketts is not funding Tom's hobby. The cash cow is on hold and the bills are coming due. My guess is they need to cut payroll down to about $120M just for the team. No telling what is happening with the investments around the park.

The trades that won the world series and then to try and keep them afloat killed them with the bad free agent signings.

The Sox will be the laughing stock if they fail to meet expectations but for now I think they are fine, not on this board but in general this news cycle has passed on a larger scale. Stroman wasn't a free agent so his take was BS Who was the coach that wouldn't come here?
