  1. I like the Billy Hamilton idea. It might even sell a couple tickets. Leury deserved a better send off also but that would never happen.
  2. They will need to reinstate him to the 40 man roster at the start of the off season. You are right, he's probably worth a spot for another chance.
  3. Sorry. How have threads do we have to start showing how bad this organization is? Did you read the first post? How can you read that and not be upset? 15 Mil that isn't being used to actually win games. Find one positive thread here. As soon as I log on it's all s%*# news with this team. I post something slightly positive, that they are signing some former high draft picks and the next post immediately points out they are failed draft picks. Crushed that right away.
  4. That explains a little bit why he was off to such a slow start. Hopefully he has a chance with a different team.
  5. Let's extend him while we can.
  6. He's bringing in a lot of former top draft picks.
  7. Loading up at little cost. Now let's learn about the international options.
  8. I really liked the idea of BA leading a college team. I hope another program picks him up. Now they will be in the position of begging someone. How they aren't just cleaning house and starting new is beyond me. The only thing more embarrassing would be to join the PAC4?
  9. He was my hangover remedy back in the 80s. I thought Hugh Grant and the hooker was funnier. If those two guys can't get laid, what chance did the rest of us have?
  10. Which is one thing that is a positive, at least it keep a few million out of the shareholder's pockets.
  11. How happy are you with this team? Find one positive thread in the past year. 100 pages of fire Hahn. Add LF to the hell holes of positions we've overpaid for. Yep, I moved from the city. Gave up my tickets on the way out of town. Posted a lot here. Planned vacations around seeing the team. Up until 2019 even out of town I went to more home games than most fans.
  12. I need to censor myself a bit. Thinking about it, it's not fair for an out of towner to say move. But geez, he knows how unhappy everybody is. What else can fans do but tell him to move? We know he won't sell. The past couple seasons just aren't fun.
  13. It's not just the front office, have there ever been a worse group of players to cheer for? The coaching staff? I'm cheering for guys to make plays without getting hurt. Fans were all in and they delivered crap. Now the franchise either has to step up and win back fan support or step out and allow the type of franchise that Chicago deserves. This is a franchise that deserves a small market far away.
  14. Of the incredibly small likelihood of either happening I think moving and allowing another team to fill the spot is more likely than them ever selling. He threatened to move to Florida and the state literally turned back the clock to keep them here. Next time let them go. Move another franchise in. It's obviously hyperbole to say move, but man, day after day, we find more reasons this team is horrible.
  15. I'm so fed with this crap franchise. Every day we figure out something else that sucks about it. When was the last bit of good news? Find one positive thread in the past six months. It's brutal. Owner? Worse in all sports GM? Couldn't get a job running a Dollar Store Manager? The Royals rejected him Today look at LF, tomorrow it will be something else. But it will be bad.
  16. Who would care? JR leaves with his team and someone else will move in. Anyone else would be better.
  17. Thank you for another reason to hate this franchise. What few positive thoughts I've had for this team have finally been extinguished. I wish he'd just move the damn team, it's an embarrassment to the city. Fucking loser franchise.
  18. Burger is also a great example of acquiring the best athletes possible at the time and trading them for the necessary pieces in the future. It's nice to have a surplus to trade from instead of always digging a hole to fill a hole.
  19. Divisions and leagues are arbitrary and based on the days of bus rides and business interests. Now TV and time zones. Head to head playoff wins is more meaningful than we beat these other teams more than you did so we are better.
  20. It would be amazing if we actually were successful with 25% of our prospects. I'd be shocked if three in the entire system eventually earned veteran status. So that's about 1%.
  21. One league. Balanced Schedule. Winner takes all. No playoffs. Playoffs make the regular season meaningless. Once we say that's not ideal, it's just a matter of how fast do you want to eliminate teams versus keeping them around playing. Baseball would be better right now if the teams below .500 went away and allowed the quality teams to play. Call it an expanded regular season if you don't want to call them playoffs.
  22. 1. Yes, but it is dropping quickly the past two seasons. I'm guessing there is more bias away from TA. Right not he is "all hat and no cattle" on and off the field. 2. Of course there are racist people in the world. So that's an easy statement to make. But that doesn't make everyone who sees someone instigate a fight and not like it a racist. I believe I can criticize his two family lifestyle as well without bringing racist. 3. There are so many factors why Americans aren't playing baseball. Some are as simple as real estate space to play. Others are more subtle. I doubt any come into the discussion here. 4. Interesting what you're seeing in the fight also.
  23. 2023 If Cleveland in - not sham If Yankees in - total sham and absolutely ludicrous?
