I think they kind of gave this away with those Star Wars memes the other day. The hamburger account was liking them too, which is part of why I think they're all the same guy

Offseason Targets
My 2 cents on this Portillo's guy: I definitely think it's notable that he got the Bummer deal a week before we knew about it. But think back to the Not Cishek account- people didn't start sharing his tweets for no reason. If memory serves, he got the Cishek deal (lol), he tweeted that Robert was close to signing an extension the day before he signed an extension, and he was first (even before James) on the Moncada extension talks. Could they have all been guesses? Sure. But I don't think the Portillo's guy deserves that much more benefit of the doubt. And I definitely don't think his word should be taken as gospel while people throw temper tantrums when a Cishek tweet is posted just because he was wrong at the trade deadline. All that being said, I believe Cishek, Portillo's, and Al's are all run by the same guy in an effort to save his credibility, and it's working, as everyone is loving the Portillo's account now. But, if he's ever wrong about anything, don't be surprised if there's a fourth account that also happens to like, retweet, and reply to the first three.

Anyone have any luck getting a PS5 this week? Apparently my Target has a few that they're selling in-store tomorrow so I'm going for that

Jose Abreu wins 2020 AL MVP and Hank Aaron Award
I was wondering what that was about. He obviously was very emotional the whole time, understandably so, and was thinking about his grandmother and his journey. But I was confused about that apparent burst of anger

I don't see it happening either but I think the idea is that Arenado is traded (Dodgers/Mets) and/or (likely "and") Story walks in FA after the season

La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
The end of that is kind of damning. What other info about the incident could come out? Maybe he called the cop a racial slur or something?

I don't think he was fully healthy. I've read that his bread and butter was the 97 MPH high fastball and he was pumping 92. It was weird

Didn't Merkin suggest they would be in an article last week?

Same with Not Cishek, who this entire board hates. They’re all the same person IMO

They’ve been tweeting with Not Cishek, liking his tweets, etc so I think they may be connected somehow- La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
There also has been a lot of "It's not a big deal that he drives drunk, YOU do it all the time too, hypocrite!" which is an unbelievably stupid way of admitting that they drive drunk themselves- New Manager. Who could sox target at this point?
Bochy, Espada, or Sam Fuld are the main three I could see taking that spot- La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
Bauer says towards the end of the video that the fact that any FA (such as Stroman) flat out won't sign with your team because of your new manager means it might not be the most effective hire. At 18:06, he says "I'm not part of the White Sox... perhaps I will be, at some point later this offseason, perhaps I won't" so I need a body language expert to tell me if he's interested haha- La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
I’m still waiting for the three headed monster of Levine, Nightengale, and Sullivan to tell us how we’re all overreacting and that this isn’t a big deal, he’s a respected guy, just misunderstood.- La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
I wish they actually were working on an audible- 2020 Election Thoughts

So it seems like people are getting the same general response "I understand your frustration - We have great players - Thanks for reaching out"- La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
Right, I'm not sure what people are waiting for. We've already heard everything the organization has to say. They're just hoping this won't be a topic of discussion when the season rolls around- La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
Just curious, have any of you who emailed or called the Sox gotten a response?- La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
The organization said they can’t comment further on an ongoing case, so I wouldn’t expect anything from them regardless - Offseason Targets
