Thomas Wolfe said it best "you can't go home again"

While that argument makes sense for an out of town fan who has never lived in the city, it's odd to hear this from a Brother Rice grad who should understand the roots of the team. Unless, you're trying to spark conversation.

I believe you mean you*couldn't* care less. As you wrote it, you care, perhaps a lot, about SS2k5 (as we all do). Is this really about where someone walks on their lunch break?

Agreed. There is so much past data than can be analyzed and simulations run that it takes multiple people. They also need to be familiar with each other and their individual talents. I'll assume (without any information) that our people aren't as good at that as most other teams because I'm a Sox fan.

And one in San Antonio. With pizza the local places can't get the sausage seasoning the same. I assume with beef or will be the same issues.

It's the Sox penalty. Why come here when you have other offers at the same price? Start at the top. How many hundreds of millions more would they have had to pay Ohtani? Then it travels all the way down to the barely deserve minimum to sign guys.

They would have gotten me at that price.

Damn. f*** cancer.

I don't want to have any positive thoughts about this season. Anything positive will be crushed by the first warm days of spring.

Thank you hip hop.

I love the AI summary of what's wrong with Joey Gallo. It sums up the entire Sox system. Gallo's offensive production has been poor, even by his own low standards.

Better than the owners getting all the profits. That should be the league minimum

Listed first. Eat it MIA and COL. Winner

Thank you.

Haruki I'm guessing. I'm usually not a fantasy, sci fi reader. What do you suggest?

All of these experts are wrong again. They were wrong when they had us winning the central a couple seasons ago and they are wrong now. These prospects will not pan out. And even if they do sniff a MLB roster they will riddled with injuries and have such flawed approaches they won't win much. It's what we do and we're the best at it in all of sports. Until the organization starts over with a new owner and all new employees that s%*# just permeates everything.

I was listening to some vintage Aerosmith. If they are correct, "you have to lose to know how to win" we can Dream On for this season. And I'm not even drinking yet

It wasn't like the Sox were the only ones fooled. He received a number of favorable reviews. Momma's didn't conceive MLB talented kid that year.

TA signing a minor league deal. What a fall.

So this is the ground we're building up from? Perhaps we're building from a huge fing hole.

I was wondering how much delegation he was going to give to the OC. I think this signals it will be not much. Which I like. I wonder what, if any, thought they gave to down the road responsibility. Hiring someone who could take over more in the coming years.

Agreed. I'm not arguing that he should have the job. I'm not arguing he's highly qualified. I'm not arguing he's done a good job. I'm not arguing he's should stay. f*** the guy. He's a pathetic loser and I think we all know he won't turn this around. One area I'm qualified to speak about are word definitions and linguistics. I've spent a lot of time studying those areas. I have a Masters in Literature and teach English. Is being an assistant a reasonable qualification to be a GM? Would you disagree with a team why would be interviewing anyone that doesn't have front office experience? In any organization being an assistant is a qualification to be the manager. I would have set the bar much hire than being an assistant GM in a failing organization. I've been doing a lot of technical writing the past couple of months and word choice has been dominating my thoughts. My apologies for starting a semantic discussion on the nuances between poorly qualified and unqualified on a baseball message board.

How are you defining qualified?
