QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) How do you punish a team? Are they supposed to spend a certain amount of money? What if a team has a strategy of trying to play their own young home grown talent thinning they can win with it? You give them a window of a few years like I mentioned above. Then you start fining and moving them out of their presumed top draft position. That's really the problem with the lottery. The 76ers still are able to get good picks. Let's not act like these teams plans are secretive either. GMs have been very open about these type of strategies because they want to prepare everyone else for the long term sucking.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) It's not like players on teams in those situations are intentionally throwing games. They are playing for their career. Who cares? The Front Office's are throwing the games and it makes the league(whichever one) look like a joke. When you can start writing off teams in the offseason and who obviously have zero desire to win there's a problem.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 09:19 PM) The lottery system for picks is somewhat a decent way to do it. It's a good start. Really there should be a window of time set up league wide or something to that effect. You have "X" amount of time to get your team together.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) I'd take my chances at this point. The owner wont though. Honestly I hate tanking in any sport. I think there should be punishments/countermeasures for what some of these teams try to do.

A rebuild doesnt guarantee you anything either. Prospects can implode and then your left with nothing. You have to wait even longer then.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 07:50 PM) SD GM may die laughing tonight. He shouldnt be. He's going to be fired at the end of the year too.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) Lol does it really matter at this point? He was injured apparently yesterday. So now they are going to make sure that he is apparently.

Oh good...let's kill Putnam's arm

Bullpen? Why?

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) I would LOVE to be in the box with Hahn and Williams right now. Screw that...you want to be where JR is watching the game

Coop going out there to tell him to stop sucking

He's getting the s*** booed out of him

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) I mean at the end of the day it's a business. His loyalty is ruining his business. Well for the Bulls too. That team is in line for a house cleaning. Hoiberg and the front office are in the firing line.

Just keep weathering the storm

JR cares obviously...he just has a loyalty problem

Good he deserved to get booed after that s*** start.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 07:27 PM) How he keeps a job after this mess is a mystery I dunno. I thought the Bulls front office were going to be fired. But they are still sitting there. Who the f*** knows at this point. Say what you want about the Bears ownership in past years. But they got their act together recently.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 07:26 PM) Am I allowed to mention fire sale to you yet? Not while Rick Hahn is around. He'll be canned the second that happens.

They just have to weather the storm like Robin's repeated for the last month...all is well

Just saw the brawl in Baltimore. Ventura is lucky Machado didnt bring his bat with him.

You trade Sale after this year if you fire the front office. Then you start making those moves once they start getting their guys in here. I dont want Hahn to do any of that.

Nobody got duped by the fake Rosenthal...nice!

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) Who would you want/expect to give up? I have no problem giving up Johnson. Pretty clear that he's a gas can right now.

I guess maybe I'm the only one who isnt worried about what we give up and wants Shields

Winning is just so much more fun
