Jerry or Tom Ricketts? Yes totally light yrs ahead

True, I cant blame anyone for being a cub fan these days.

Id love to say "who cares?" but truth is while I dont care what the cubs do in offseason, I only care during the regular season and that is to lose 100 games

In defense of athletes, to those who constantly case on them calling them a**holes who do nothing but get arrested and do bad things, I dont have the numbers of all the active players on NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS and NBA but its easily at least 1500. ANd how many do you actually hear that get arrested etc? 1%? Its like plane crashes, you only hear about them when they happen, you never hear about all the successful landings That being said, I dont discount the bad athletes (kind of like Clevinger) who give the industry a bad name

What no Albert Belle?

I gotta think the other GM's are looking to fleece Getzie due to his inexperience

Knowing JR, my moneys on some unkown communication major 23 yr old right out of college who will work for 50K Its the White Sox way

The only new fans we will get will be the misfits, the losers and of course the masochists :)

I'm surprised they don't make the 7th inning stretch 30 min for an afternoon nappy

My guess at some point Atlanta will be bummed about this

So whats on yr Winter to do list to pass the time until the 2024 season starts? Ive got some books to read, a bathroom to remodel and to clean up some areas of my house & business that really needs it

IIRC John Olerud wore one too but not as cool as Dick
