I don't see the next manager lasting more than two years. I think the sticking point in negotiations will be length of contract. I can't believe anyone worth having would come for anything less than a four year contract, possibly five. I don't see Uncle Jerry agreeing to that.

And we value bad luck as a franchise. It's the cornerstone of our strategy.

The big money managers aren't coming into this train wreck so financial limitation isn't nearly as limiting than the crap players and a meddling owner and his "special friends". Really pick almost anyone and hope you get lucky.

There are a couple inside the organization choices that could top it.

If a stuffed doll was posting that would be a valid argument. But a human is posting and the human's reaction is either "I'd rather be dead" or "I'd rather see a stuffed doll jump off a building". One of those choices is hopefully hyperbole the other is kind of weird.

More than one.

I'm curious what the coaching staffs look like in Illinois. Here the head coach is an administrator for the school's athletics and teaches no classes. The offensive and defensive coordinators generally teach two classes and the rest of the staff teaches four classes. It's a seven day a week job from the end of July until the season is over.

TL:DR We're against the moves and it's just a waste of time and really doesn't do anything.

I agree totally. I've come to believe that the happiest people I know have the most choices. Eliminating choices and creating obstacles isn't a path I would recommend for anyone. People find inspiration everywhere, I found mine in an improv class. "Yes . . . and" is the building block of all improv. I try to say yes to all new opportunities (that my wife approves of) and explore it. I'm happiest when I'm learning new things and my wife shares that passion. I don't think it would matter where she was from.

I dropped cable years ago.

Free with T Mobile and worth it to watch the Sox

I thought you can't stream in market games.

I'm blocked for the Rangers and Astros.

It's MLB.tv without blackouts. Make MLB the primary and any local stuff secondary. Obviously anyone with a little tech skills can get around blackouts, but it shouldn't be necessary.

If you pay to stream your favorite team it shouldn't matter where you live or where the game is being played. I remember as a kid driving to Indiana to watch a Bears game because it didn't sell out. Times have changed and sports has to keep up.

At least he understands that a sizable number of fans have cut the cable and stream. It seems more like he wants to have the MLB national contract supercede any local deals. Which makes sense in a modern world.

As anyone would. The only potential is if MLB owners would block that owner.

Or Stewert's group leaked it to build public demand for JR selling.

The Oilers changed names. The North Stars altered their name. Nightmare scenario A group buys the team and moves it to Nashville. Immediately MLB announces an expansion team for Chicago with an ownership group led by JR. Who do you cheer for and death isn't an option?

The As have gone coast to coast with the name. Cardinals, Raiders, even the Utah Jazz have all kept their names.

Take what they say as seriously as any other advertising. We thought it was New Sox but it was Sox Classic.

Can people be fired from their jobs and not have broken any laws?

So Getz put together a much better group and it was mismanaged by Pedro resulting in 50% less wins? That's a lot of screwing up by one man that other men couldn't overcome. I hope you are correct. Then the organization is in much better shape than I'm thinking.
