They NEVER had an oriole park design. And especially not for the nebulous “south loop”. There WAS, however, a design for the lake/Clinton area for a dual use stadium with the bears. And mike mcsucky flat out refused it because the bears are “connected to the cubs” jerry wanted Addison, and even bought the land in advance. Chicago was never a serious thought until Addison died in the ballot box and Jim Thompson pledged state money.

Hockey moves too fast to have noisemakers. Those fans are literally trying to watch the game. Baseball? It could use a lil more excitement.

Notice what the Sox call them. INVESTORS. not owners. The sox are a hobby of a (now) very rich businessman. Yes, he wants them to win, but not at all costs. And always HIS way. Rick hopeless got the approval to rebuild because there’s a way to make money off cost certainty, even when fan revenue drops.

Anything rick Hahn says now I read as “I’m an idiot”. so many things the last 2 seasons he just talks out of his ass instead of saying “Sox gonna Sox”

Why would it? They get checks in the mail every year from the profit.

AAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD..........cole hamels to the DL....yeah, the cubs are totally going to trade q now.........

While this trade sucked, it began the rebuild. I was past past this three years ago. Maybe you be past it too.

THANK CHRIST.

That was as a “rookie”. NPB isn’t the same as signing Keuchel.

Jerry already has morons operating his baseball team.

Unless it was in the baseball operations staff, your chances to be gm were between fuck and no.

Not the Sox.

Lesser (and older) pitchers are getting paid more than him. The cubs WILL take the option. There is no guarantee Hamels will come back, especially at a discount. They NEED a q type pitcher. Why get rid of the actual q?

Sox don’t offer four year deals to outside free agent pitchers.

The Sox ticket prices have been this low since 2013. And all but one year attendance has decreased.

But manny wanted a record breaker as well as the opt out. Things the Sox don’t do.

And?

There’s a ton of qualifiers on that. Yankee and Red Sox series ON THE WEEKEND with the added benefit of good(for Chicago) weather, and a lot of giveaways. The “free shit” crowd has been out in full force this year. The second game the second game of the year sold more tickets than opening day because everyone just had to have the hoodie.

That’s your problem.

Neil young wrote a song about birds. Music tastes are subjective.

It’s a theme night. Nothing more nothing less. Get off off your high horse. I don’t care about disco or house music. When it plays at the park I do the same thing I do when I hear country music. Ignore it. And if there is a house music night at the park? I go oh well and go back to watching the game.

What a chode, that Harry is.

3/5 refers to the constitution, where African slaves were counted as 3/5 of a white man in the census. This allowed southern states, where the slave population was much larger than in the north, to gain more seats in the house. As it pertains to Lincoln, he never set out to be an abolitionist, he was a preservationist. The restoration of the union was his goal, even if it meant Slavery didn’t end.

Oh Jesus Christ! Get over yourself. Last night was a small commemoration of an Ill fated Sox event that gets mentioned In the baseball and rock and roll hall of fame. The 28th is a fireworks night set to music the grandkids of the disco demotion crowd like now. The only signal is that that the Sox want you to buy tickets and watch a a ballgame. No different than game of thrones night or halfway to st Patrick’s day.

People seem to forget that even if Harry stayed with the sox, and if the Sox were on free tv, they weren’t going to be on wgn. Bill veeck negotiated a terrible deal on uhf stations. 1984 would have happened up north and they would still be the darlings of town. Harry or not. Remember the “Sandberg game” wasn’t even on wgn. It was game of the week on nbc.
