I think it's a good guess based on past history with other issues. To me it fits the "I knew this (insert bad thing) was going to happen!" posts.

Isn't it comparable to not wanting the President to do well, but wishing the country does well? And we both know there are some people that can't wait to show that Tony can't relate to players, can't grasp advanced statistics, etc. For that to happen it would seem the team would need to falter. I don't think it's a sizable number, but there are always some that want to be right.

True. I will guess that by April 1st they will be cheering like the rest of us. I'm a big fan of character and setting the example. I also believe Tony deserves the HoF ring. We're just getting a guy before and after he was great. But I already reserved the name southsider2k20 for after the WS.

Or quicker if the team wins a World Series.

I actually believe people will impulsively and always spend the $10 a week. I think if you hand someone $520 they will begin actually thinking about and planning what to buy. They may actually spend the $520 months from now. And for people who aren't impacted financially by COVID they may just move $520 to savings but would spend the $10 a week.

It always seems messy to include pitchers and maybe even designated hitters in this sort of debate. On days he was playing I'd take Buehrle over Konerko. With a little bit of hindsight I will say that Buehrle is my favorite Sox pitcher of all time. Certainly the only pitcher I bought a ticket to a game specifically because he was starting. If I had to name a second most valuable player behind Thomas, I would pick Konerko. But the question is second "best" player. Konerko fell off the HoF ballot, Buehrle is just starting. I think of outside chances of one day telling a cop late at night that you're a hall of fame baseballer, I think Buehrle has the best shot. So, I'm going to offer Buehrle as my choice. And in less time than you took to read this Mark would have faced two batters and probably have a 1-0 count on the third.

But it does include a billion or two for more border wall. I guess they think a wall will keep out the virus.

For public schools that's a great question. Why are public schools still so expensive? The government is already covering some of the cost of those schools. Why aren't they covering more? Are you bothered by the tax dollars that were already spent for those students or just spending tax dollars after the education? Again, just speaking for the public, taxpayer funded schools.

Great marketing move, no one is talking about the Cubs today.

Agreed.

That's really the bottom line. Driving drunk when you have the resources to hire a DD. The I'm a Hall of Famer and lying is just a little extra.

In related news Tony pled guilty to making insensitive remarks ending speculation that he is a racist.

Well we can close this thread. We have actual Sox News finally. TLR pleaded guilty to a lesser charge today.

Do we have to derail every thread with TLR DUI talk? ?

@southsider2k5 what do you think Tony La Russa puts in his egg nog?

Because of YOU!!! IT'S aLWays abOut YoU!!

Which banned poster should we allow back in next? Although thematically we should do this around Easter not Christmas for a religious tie in along with sports and politics. I believe ironically we brought back Birlilo on SS2k5's birthday.

When we started here there were three very active WS boards. We were the smallest. No one has devoted more time and energy building this forum than SS2k5. Now it's the largest WS forum by every metric. The thousands of unpaid hours for almost twenty years working the behind the scenes stuff is truly unbelievable and I for one appreciate all of his efforts to build this.

Lol. Of course you would think that you have a better idea of why you were banned than the people that actually decided to ban you. We've about given up that you would actually stop trolling every thread and attacking mods. You don't care if you're banned then in a week or so it will be week after week of you keep trying to get back in. So eventually we take bets on what you'll write and let you back in "bro" <-- which was a winner for me, although I was worried at first that you had taken bro out of your vocabulary. Now to be completely transparent there is a response I'm trying to have you write.

Ok instead of forgiving student loans cut their taxes the amount of their loans. It's their money then that is paying off the loan.

Isn't that what they did with the $1,200 earlier in the year or any of the tax cuts?

I couldn't agree more.

Lol That wasn't the only reason you were banned. Fortunately there's other White Sox message boards for you to post on. And after this banning we'll find another slow time on the board when we're bored and repeat the process. Having old friends return is good for the soul.

There already are programs tied to community service. A popular one with teachers is $5,000 in forgiveness for teaching in lower income areas for five years.

San Antonio would be an interesting choice. It's the largest city in the US without a MLB team. The financial struggle is the stadium will require a dome or a retractable roof at the minimum.
