Yet another example of what a terrible owner he is. He needed to bring LaRussa back but not Leyland. Leyland was a much better manager than LaRussa. f*** Jerry Reinsdorf. Another hall of famer let go yet Kenny Williams had to destroy the franchise to ge fired.

Shoudl have never have extended him. There were no signs to show he was worth that money. Although in his defense playing his whole career on teams that had a one point guard for a couple of months probably didn't help.

Key for the remainder of this season is Fields and Braxton Jones to determine their fate and are the rookie D linemen for real.

He'll still go number 1. Teams will look past that as they have no choice but to dream big. See Carolina, last spring. If the Bears get 1 and 5, I'd trade out of both if Fields is the answer. If you get a 6 and 12 and then another two firsts next year, you have a process in place. Clean out every coach and go get an experienced offensive mind at HC and an older DC that isn't going to leave.

This whole thing goes to prove there was some sort of pissing contest in that front office. Why fire them when he did and then put Getz in there and go on some idiotic rant about competing next year and not wanting to give the next guy time learn the system. I'd have given him more credit if he just said, "I like Chris, I know he is inexperieinced but this thing is a mess and I trust he can build the organization we need." I handed the keys to Kenny and Rick and they drove it off a cliff. I really wonder if there was ever a conversation about spending on things Tampa does to keep the payroll low and win or if Rick and KW took the funding and wasted it on the Leury Garcia's of the world.

Poles can play the I didn't hire this clown car coaching staff then he gets his hire. The Fields card ends after this year whichever way it goes. Hire an offensive head caoch that can work with FIelds and an experienced DC.

This is churnign the 40 man which is what is needed. I like that Getz realizes they need organizational depth and this adds it. Will any of these guys pan out, who knows. We all know Bummer will be pitching next fall and dominate. This trade was Bummer for Soroka. The upside on Soroka is his major injury was not to his arm and Burger came back from it BUT its an ankle and pitching plays differently on that then 3B/DH. The Braves don't have the time for him to regain his ability.

Everything blows for the White Sox as they are a major market team run like a small market team. Sometimes I wish the White Sox didn't win the world series so the owner would have nothing to hang his pathetic hat or legacy on. All the bullshit he pulled with former owners and presidents in his pocket is coming home to roost. Most notably cancelling the world series and getting Harold BAines into the Hall of Fame. Baines is a top three favorite player of mine.

If it's cheap and there is booze and decent food I'll go.

I liked Monaco when I heard him. If he's the hire, I like it actually.

White Sox had an option and didn't pick it up so he was forced out.

I said I felt he was 100% the problem now maybe just 90%. The offense running smootly in that the presnap activity does not seem as hectic and guys are moved about more simply to get a read. I also feel that the timing is better, less unnecessary timeouts and DOG calls on them. Bagent isn't the answer but if you are looking at production from an undrafted D2 rookie playing for a coach that you say is abysmal, I'd say he may actaully be succeeding to a degree. He looks to be a nice back up.

Benetti was a White Sox fan......continue to see just how poorly run that organization is. This does nothing in reality but it's another opportunity for the White Sox to show they are not serious. The optics of this are terrible as it was always a feel good story.

That's the stuff that is evident with Bagent v Fields but the Chicago media refuse to address. It has to be the coaching that can't game plan for his skill set. The offense seems to run smoother with Bagent. He's not the answer but it does make me rethink Getsy a little and I thought Getsy was 100% the problem.

I thought they still had a decent amount of cash avaialbe this year. Get a good chunck of the deal on this year's balance sheet.

Young is hurt too much.

People seem to forget that Jimmy Butler was what they needed to get over the hump and converted that into Zach Levine. Then doubled down on him.

Not sure I used the term open war zone but there have been several incidents. I have been taking that way daily for over 30 years.

That stretch from the Ryan to route 30 has a few issues if not cars going 100+ there is some gunfire often.

greg, a travel app will get you there better then I. 294 now hooks up with 57 in Midlo. That is an interchange I never thought i needed but man is it nice. I'm thinking Dielh to 88 to 294 to 57 is the route. BR's two QB system is what it is is.....if you have two QB's you don't have a QB. The southside draw benefitted BR over SR as SR gets to visit your friends on 64th and Dante but Batavia is probably the only team in 7A that can beat MC. BR's frosh/soph went 16-1 combined so things are looking bright for the new guy it appears.

Bagent did the little things that Fields does not. The things that we see every other game that Bears QB's don't normally show, field awareness. There were a lot of easy thows that he took that Fields doesn't seem to find. These are the types of short nothing type things that move the chains that others seem to find easily. The offense ran smoothly in regad to getting plays run, guys in place, changing things up, etc. They seemd to always be on the same page. With Fields....hell anyone the last few years, that is not the case. I'm talking about the things like coming out of a time out and getting a delay of game.

Kim Ng is the ideal person for JR to hire...and oddly enough was an analytical mind before they were cool in the MLB She was with the White Sox in their heyday. The 90s White Sox with her were as good as any era and actually one of the best in baseball over that time. She would always be second fiddle to Kenny Williams. She was Asst GM with the Yankees and won 3 titles She has been around a lot of ball clubs and at a high level at MLB and is all of 54 years old. This is easily sold as being the only option JR would make but was inconceivable in August when the Getz debacle happens. She is someone that can become what KW was not, a leader of the organization. Of course none of this would happen because JR is bitter she left and he's a fool. This move would not be questioned by any media source and would be covered for months. She could no worse then the s%*# show he ran out of town and she buffers Getz. If there is a sale of the team on the table, the next regime can rely on her as proven commodity not only in the day to day baseball operations but has connection in the MLB front office. Alas this has no chance of happening.

This sentiment is idiotic. Baseball is a random generator sport. Unlike the other major sports...maybe hockey is similar, the playoffs are an absolute crapshoot. The goal of any organization should be to make it there. Once there, all bets are off.

JR claims to be a baseball fan. If so he is watching these playoffs and saying, yes Harper, Wheeler and Verlander are doing well but what about Machado, DeGrom, Betts.....see I am right. Jon Jay was the right play for RF. What a clown.

Toronto's window is still open the White Sox is not was more my point. I didn't think they would aspire to be that but I think that would have been how the White Sox window would have gone had they not made horifically bad moves. They are not structed to do what I think they want to.
