Do you understand why JR didn't want him getting in the HOF? Is that claim a myth?

Balta would burn Abe Lincoln at the stake for his sins

It was 2011. Around that time The Hangover came out and "Paging Dr. F*ggot" was a big joke in it. Times change. Bringing this up now is stupid.

How are we doing on the year? Pretty abysmal I hope?

Not only was the Drain Duo a good nickname for the two players, but another fan from realgm asked Doug McDermott what he thought of the nickname during a meet and greet. Doug McDermott said regarding the nickname "I love it" and that it was "clever". His words, not mine. The fan even posted a picture with him and McDermott from the meet and greet/autograph session, so it was legit. I still see people referencing the Drain Duo nickname over there on occasion.

Thank you caulfield

Amen.

Happy birthday to an absolute legend in Chicago sports. We miss you, buddy.

I too wish he would have retained KW as the GM. We'd be losing, but you would feel good about it at least.

Trading a 3 WAR player with 5 years of control for ONE pitching prospect that is a complete question mark is definitely a bad trade.

@bmags you're totally the one butthurt here, not him

Thank you for taking snippets from the article instead of just posting the link with zero context.

Good god I hope not. Honestly, my hope is that Getz saw how these chumps with no baseball playing experience (Hahn and Haber) f***ed this organization into the ground, and is ready to completely disregard his opinion. Not that you have to play baseball to be a good front office GM, but those guys didn't play AND they sucked.

What a freaking embarrassment. Good riddance. I'm assuming Haber has less pull now with Getz in charge.

@Y2Jimmy0 died? That's horrible news.

2nd Booger Presley reference in one week from you Caulfield. It's time to move on. That movie is a product of the 80s and is s%*#.

Typical Bruce defending Jerry for being out on Ohtani and not signing players to over 100m. Saying spending like that doesn't help you win. Said how the past couple years that fingers have been pointed at the coaches and now upper management, when they should have been pointed at the players. Apparently we haven't been blaming the players enough? The poor front office, being blamed for putting together this awful team. What a piece of s%*#.

Yeah, I honestly expect the Sox to pursue him.

100%. He also said he likes the current core, Yoan is turning it around. It was chalk full of absurd things. I also saw that he broke a rule by publicly saying the Sox are out on Ohtani, because it can bring his value down theoretically. Bernstein thinks Tony Clark should file a grievance about those comments. I'd love if he did.

I'm cracking up thinking about how Jerry was glamorizing David Eckstein. His favorite player in recent memory is seriously David Eckstein? That's honestly hilarious.

That would be a gutsy move by him

No

Just root for the Cubs instead. They're looking good this year.

I really hope Colson can stick at SS
