It really bummed me out reading this news. So, so tragic. I honestly assumed he was an older guy based on how mature he came across and because he was one of the OGs that helped run the show here. I lurked here for a while before this account (let's be real, probably had an account or two that got banned, but I really don't remember). He was always such a quality poster as long as I can remember. He was only 2-3 years older than me, but damn was he wise and mature beyond his years. He was always kind to me despite whatever shenanigans of mine the mods had to deal with. Interesting the type of relationship/bond you can develop with people just by reading their posts and seeing their avatar frequently on an Internet forum, whether you conversed with them often or not. I was never particularly close with him, but it still hits home after sharing a message board with him for years and years. It's especially awful when somebody dies this young and in such a senseless manner. I wish everybody would take seriously the responsibility of driving a motor vehicle. RIP to one of the good ones. Heads clearly played a major part in making this place one of the best sports forums on the internet.

Has Spiegel ever had any sources? Not sure whether to believe him or not.

WHO?!

6 months? That's ridiculous. How are we going to keep our GDP up when people get that much leave?

How do you rank Chris Getz' GM tenure so far?

Isn't this part of Mike North's downfall? He was the biggest draw on the score. He broke up North and Jiggetts so he could have his own solo show. From what I heard, he often had non-sports segment on his show.

This is what killed the Bernstein and Goff show. I really enjoyed Bernstein back then, as that was right after the end of B&B. But Bernstein and Goff was terrible. It would always devolve into them ripping into a caller for being racist. The Score sucks now. Still living off the reputation of the glory days. Sports gambling is the only thing keeping it alive.

Bernstein had offers to be go national just like Greenberg did. He chose to stay as a local Chicago guy though. However, that was 20 years ago. Local radio guys were making big bucks back then.

This. He was the only reason I still listened on occasion. Don't get me wrong, it was still a far cry from his B&B glory days. But the current hosts suck absolute ass. Afternoon show is garbage without Parkins. Harris is a complete mess. The Midday show will now be completely unlistenable. Harris and Leila? Puke.

Guys that throw as hard as Thorpe are always at risk for the dreaded TJS. It is what it is.

Shane Smith's legs look like tree trunks. Dude has some muscle.

So even if Ishbia has more shares than Reinsdorf, Reinsdorf is still calling the shots? Is that what Im hearing? Does Ishbia need 50%+ to get full control?

Solid signing imo

Jerry is going to hold a special celebration for White Sox scout, Jerry Krause. Accepting the award will be his widow Thelma Krause. Above her head will be a "Boo" audience cue card and Jerry will be providing tomatoes to any fans who want to lob them at her.

Only 3.5m next year, 1.5m buyout. Honestly, this is a slam dunk move by Getz. 2nd half of the season with the Padres he had a 3.4 ERA with a 1.2 WHIP. He pitched his ass off. Given the salary restrictions by the owner, this is an A move by Getz.

There's the kiss of death. Colson is going to completely bust now.

I'm going to reserve judgement until I get WestEddy's take on this

Lmao Oscar Robinson. That's hilarious.

LOL, nevermind.

Do the Padres get a better package than the Sox did?

Seems like most people are happy with the haul the Sox got. It's almost too optimistic for me. Where's Jack Parkwoman at to throw some water on these flames?

Getz just pulled off the trade of the century, and this is what we have to look at? This have looks more like Cubstalk than Soxtalk.

You jagoff. Got my hopes up.
