They did stuff we would roast our front office for but they got lucky and it worked out.

I was going to make a joke then I realized Mom's and girlfriends wouldn't have to pay.

Managerial “Search”
That's too small of a sample size. Add in every other hire since Ozzie and then it's not only statistically valid, but a harbinger of doom.

Managerial “Search”
Wasn't Tony the last manager to achieve success at the MLB level after leaving Chicago? That's a long time ago.

CHSN to be available on antenna in Chicago
I've been a very loyal T Mobile customer in part because of free MLB TV.

Managerial “Search”
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.

Managerial “Search”
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.

Managerial “Search”
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.

Illinois High School Football Thread
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.

Baby/Parenting Thread
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.

Blackouts? Manfred is on it
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.

Blackouts? Manfred is on it
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.

Blackouts? Manfred is on it
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.

Blackouts? Manfred is on it
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.

Jerry Reinsdorf open to selling the White Sox per Britt Ghiroli
As anyone would. The only potential is if MLB owners would block that owner.
