Sun Times says it’s time for the Schrif to move on
Harry Chappas replied to Dick Allen's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Hopefully Conor McKnight gets the gig. Not sure if he is any good but in the short samples I've heard he's been fine. -
2025 MLB season...catch-all for non-Sox, non AL-Central
Harry Chappas replied to caulfield12's topic in The Diamond Club
This weekend will be a deciding factor for Brewers, Reds, cubs and Padres. I think the Mets situation will drag into next week. I really do not care about any team in the AL and would love a Brewers v Mariners world series. -
He should be the decision maker on Poles. Warren is about as useless as Ted Phillips. In actuality due to his time in the Big 10 he most likely cost the Bears Harbaugh which makes him worse than Phillips. My take on the stadium is that the Bears are slow playing it to pay as little on any early buyout on Soldier Field as possible but maybe that is not the case and Warren is just a tad inept. It's the Bears, they will fire Poles and promote Ian Cunningham. Firing Poles after 2027 wastes all of Williams rookie deal and then the Bears are screwed as Williams will make them pay and pay dearly for the miserable situation they have put him in.

They have made a lot of worse moves than this one. He was worth the risk if he could have been flipped like Feddee last year and he seemed like a decent enough guy. Much better approach than the idiotic signing of Clevenger.
-
On the radio this morning there was talk that he makes $2M a year and will easily be fired at any time. In theory this is true but this is not how the Bears operate.
-
100% reasonable thought process but this is the Bears. He is epically bad at his job and was given an extension two months ago. He is here through at least the 2027 season.
-
They just extended one of if not the worst GMs in football for 5 years The new narrative will be that he drafted guys Johnson wanted. His history of drafting is an absolute joke.
-
Poles and Warren are the epitome of the systematic failing of that organization. His massive draft failures now greatly outweigh the successes of the Carolina trade and we are seeing it weekly.
-
Caleb and Johnson are the least of their worries. Poles is a fucking moron as Loveland was not drafted as a scheme decision and WTF was the Ozzie pick
-
so Ben Johnsin gave up opportunities elsewhere to work with Poles.....bad decision but he can pocket the money and in 2028 become a great OC some where
-
Special teams were awful I am not sold on Poles as a GM. The #4 receiver seemed to be targeted as much as any player and the fact Moore needs to play running back is asinine. Hope is all we got as Williams seemed to not progress over summer.

Getting tired of the "give the ball to a child" meme
Harry Chappas replied to WestEddy's topic in The Diamond Club
The woman was 100% wrong. Her doxing is based on her appearance and actions and is not going away any time soon. In the end, the family won the day with the follow events from the Phillies. -
9/7/2025 - Sox @ Tigers - 12:40 - Martin v. Morton
Harry Chappas replied to WestEddy's topic in 2025 Season in Review
Taylor needs to be ruled out as a starter. His relief role hasn't given the rock solid indication I thought it would as to his bullpen results. -
I feel like Getz has been preaching this and is actually following through on implementation.
-
When can SSS be excluded and the reality that he is a dude?

Illinois High School Basketball Thread

Basketball may be down which is why the guy left. Football who knows. -
Sox trade Andrew Vaughn to acquire Aaron Civale
Harry Chappas replied to WestEddy's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Funny thing. I'm pulling for him to make their lives miserable the next few weeks. Brewers and Twins never win come playoff time but its impacting the cub greatly. I never cared one way or another about Vaughn but Brewers have always been second fiddle to Sox since Harvey's Wall Bangers to me and currently get my baseball time over the White Sox. -
Sosa is out of position but Rojas is beyond useless

Sox at Angels 8:38 CDT 8/1
Harry Chappas replied to chitownsportsfan's topic in 2025 Season in Review
Last year was so bad because of Grifol. -
If there is in fact an ownership change in fiscal direction this division is no great shakes. Picking up Robert's option shows a potential positive change in strategy. There seems to be some positivity to the franchise and direction on what they are looking at.

Luis Robert trade thread: La Pantera stays.
Harry Chappas replied to ChiSoxFanMike's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Spot on. I think with Vaughn and then Robert they will be a cog in the machine. In Chicago they were spinning wheels. -
Sox at Rays, 7/21 6:35 CDT
Harry Chappas replied to chitownsportsfan's topic in 2025 Season in Review
How bad was Pedro Grifol. This team is showing that even bad baseball teams will win 60 games by default as Hawk taught us. -
You see B9 yesterday v LA, dropped the third out and tying run should have scored but they got out of it.

Got some Kelly Leak in him

I am thinking of Brady Aiken becoming Bregman not a bad result.
