Nope. The process is, was, and always will be completely fucked up. Our concerns are not irrelevant, despite knowing we are stuck with him. The Sox might win with TLR, but I will never be ok with the hire. The ramifications of which are still yet to play out completely.

The Cubs can either tread water and keep trying with what's left of their core or they can sell off and rebuild. I don't see a full on rebuild w/o a new front office. They would be wise to try to get something for a few of their soon to be free agents but it probably won't be enough to get them past LA, SD, or ATL. I have to imagine the lack of fans in seats is hurting their bottom line hard and wouldn't be surprised to see a few salary dumps ever way. Their window is probably closed. Also, fuck the Cubs ??

Who the fuck cares?

Yeah, poster of the obvious as if it's in depth or inside info.

Twitter shit poster of fake rumors. No need to pay him any attention.

I am not enamored with anyone at 4. Ball's size, length, and passing are intriguing, but he like everyone has flaws and holes in his game. Bulls need playmaking and if Ball falls to 4 I probably take him. The other PGs in the Bulls range don't excite me at all and feel like reaches. Going to be a very interesting few weeks though.

Good call. What is accurate info now can and does change. Doesn't mean it wasn't accurate at one point.

This is encouraging to read. I hope he is fast at work on his Cease plan.

Is it crazy that this makes me want to explore trading Vaughn ++ for a cost controlled starter and DH Eloy (w/ practice reps as future 1B)?

The collateral damage argument seemed to suggest that the fans do nothing. That’s what I am pushing back against. Big picture, I actually agree with your points and the actions you suggest, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also be voicing our displeasure to the organization itself.

I'm sorry your boss sucks and is putting his personal agenda before the well being of the team and those in its employ? What should I say? That I'll blindly support an owner that is tacitly endorsing his buddy's dangerous and negligent behavior with my own ordinary middle class dollars? I acknowledge your argument and recognize the points you are making, but I'll ask you again, what should we fans do? Do we Just take it? Just keep on keeping on? Just blindly and silently drudge on ashamed of the team we all love?

So we fans do nothing? Just take it? Just throw up our hands and live with the embarrassment? What you are saying about collateral damage might be true on some level. But public pressure with our dollars is all we have at this point. I intend to continue using what little leverage I have to express my displeasure with this hiring and the mess JR is forcing on the org, employees, and fans.

It did read a bit like the email responses I and others have received, which annoyed me. WSD did just get to put out the Katz hiring, so I think you are onto something.
