I don't believe Chicago was as unpopular as Florida with the local fans.

Stadiums aren't built anymore for the average fan. Lux suites and television are far more important.

So you'll be happy with another no money owner? It's a long history of owners, managers, coaches, scouts, secretaries, janitors, and players not winning anything.

So where does JR rank? I'll give you Charles in first. Although I imagine in today's world he might have been forced to sell after the scandal. Sadly Charles was one hundred years ago.

No doubt about it. Even JR JR has to see it.

If you ignore the Black Sox scandal. JR got the team into a great stadium deal. Where are you going to put JR? He's got to at least be second.

It is interesting that Tony's fault was not holding players accountable and not getting in their faces enough. That was the opposite from what many people predicted would be his demise. He let the players determine their own fate. Now we're hoping for in your face motivation. I never would have predicted that.

And will leave as the most successful owner in franchise history. From championships to return on his partners investment.

Huh? Katz never played in the MLB.

Using the same argument and logic. What do you think @Look at Ray Ray Run

He was another friends and family connected hire. No MLB experience as a player. Yet, I'm fine with him staying.

702 in his final regular season game. Made Cardinal fans love the DH. See you in the HoF.

The average MLB salary should be around $9 million per player. Five million for a ten year veteran should be the norm.

The girl was chastised by the boys mom for not showing enough enthusiasm. She had no clue he would ask. It's their first date. Now homecoming mums. It's a Texas thing. It's crazy. They start out almost like a corsage. Then https://totallythebomb.com/in-texas-mums-the-word

I disagree. Five million should be a utility player salary. Remember the lock out and the negotiations? We don't want owners to make any money. Unless the minimum player salary is in the multi millions owners will get richer.

And people are disappointed they didn't win the division. They should have known this team couldn't win.

Among other Sox items accumulated through the years is my hitch cover. I took it off for my summer trip, expecting to put it back on when I returned in a couple months. Yeah, it's still sitting in my under seat storage. So far no student has remembered me wearing a Sox jersey to school for opening day (cool school tradition). This weekend the only large tumbler that wasn't in the dishwasher was a Sox Tervis model. I washed a yeti by hand instead of seeing the logo. I'm very stealthy now. I've hid any reminders. I'm going to sneak in the Astros and Cardinals bandwagons because of friends I see every day.

When Tony was hired many people thought his hard ass style wouldn't work with today's players who expected to be treated as adults in a more collaborative environment. The predictions were he wouldn't put up with the antics of modern players. Seems he allowed them to "do their thing" a little too much. So this was a surprise.

f*** JR and his partners. Every player deserves more money. Has everyone forgot the battle the past off season?

Prom-posals have spread to homecoming. Sigh. One of my freshman on the golf team appeared at another teammate's house with an enterage while holding a sign . . . " Birdies are fun but homecoming with you would be a hole in one". I'm hoping they continue to date throughout high school. I love the soap opera dramas involved.

Nope. April 5th in the prediction thread I said fans would be debating which was a bigger disappointment the '69 Cubs or '22 Sox. I predicted third place. I was driving the fire Hahn train before it was cool.

I have a young varsity team, half are freshman. Tonight my top three boys shot 36, 38, and 39. I'm still trying to figure out whose going to be in the next two spots. I temporarily put in the hardest working two out of about six that had a chance. They happened to be freshman. The girls varsity starts next week with a 54 hole event. I have two of the best in the city. A sophomore and a freshman. I'll be busy until May.

And we dislike team profits. Every player should get raises or else JR and the rest of the owners get richer.

Just once I'd like to have a front office put together a roster that most everyone believes could win the division. I have no faith in Hahn and Kenny pulling that off.

Tanking ain't pretty.
