If Getz isn’t doing it on purpose … who made the trades this season? Who made the free agent signings last off season? Who signed Clevinger. Did these things happen all by themselves or did Getz have something to do with it?

This was what I was screaming in 2016, especially on WSI, to the “Give Hahn a chance” people.

This was the guy who, just last night, was telling us it is impossible to enjoy baseball unless your team wins the World Series. Seems to be a completely different take today. Maybe he sobered up.

I’m between B and C. Like Dracula they have sucked whatever blood was in me. I continue to love the camaraderie here on Soxtalk , though.

Wrong. He is that tone deaf.

Yes I did. If you only get enjoyment when they win and they’ve won once since 1918 might I suggest a new hobby. You must be a miserable old sack with your current hobby.

Throw 1985 in there too. Tom Seaver 300 wins, Carlton Fisk 37 Home Runs at his age (free of steroids). Bob James and his burly beard.

So it’s impossible for people to get enjoyment out of a baseball season if their team doesn’t reach the post season? What a ridiculous take.

The Tigers had a serious owner, serious front office, serious manager, and Justin Verlander. The White Sox would have sawed off Verlander’s arm and beat him with it if he were in their organization. Not a close comparison.

I just wish Grifol was here to be a part of it. He deserves it as much as anyone.

I know I’m in the minority but I’ve hated listening to him since long before he came to the Sox and nothing I’ve heard since he came to the Sox changed my mind. His nasally voice combined with his pompous attitude always made me hit the mute button.

I do.

I never thought this team would have won 36 games. They played above my expectations.

This is the most probable outcome.

At least Reinsdorf never did anything like threatening to move the team in order to force the state legislature to build him a stadium. He’s a much better human than Fischer.

“What do you bring to the table Chris?” ”Well, we won’t waste a year learning the organization and Louis Roberts might remember my name. Also I can only trade with second and third tier GMs.” ”Hired!!”

So it will be a long term position for Grady.

Does winning the Cy Young get him in the Hall of Fame?

It’s entertainment. People should always enjoy it or find some other form of entertainment.

How has the Mets scouting been since 2009?

100% I knew this would happen with Sizemore (not that I’m alone of course). You can see the fans shifting from “That will never happen” to “Here’s why it is good if it happens”.

I would feel bad for him if he didn’t talk so much s%*# when he came in last year.

I tend to believe being above or below your Pythagorean percent is generally (not completely) random. Just like the W/L% in extra inning games is pretty random.

Yeah I think 40 would be the floor even if brought in the AAA team.
