And he said something to the effect last year that no one could talk to these guys and hold them accountable.

Who said eat the money owed to Moncada? Put him at second base. That’s all I said.

I don’t think anybody said Burger was the answer, just better than Moncada. Also Burger has 21 home runs this year. Moncada has 29 for the last three years combined. Burger > Moncada.

Burger’s OPS during his awful slump slump since his peak in May is still what Moncada has been for the entire season. Use Burger. Stick Moncada at second if he has to play.

Doesn’t matter. You don’t leapfrog three other teams at this time of the year. Especially when you’ll be selling in two weeks.

Reinsdorf always lucked into things, and it was dumb luck, not creating your own. Jordan, Jackson, Skiles was a good coach, Thibs. They did not find these guys on purpose.

I think Rick Hahn used those lists in his acquisition research.

I think I just s%*# my pants.

It’s laughable that they thought Radinsky could be a closer. Good setup man for about two seasons but he was also pretty wild.

Still think he is their best manager since LaRussa I.

I think AJ saw what happened to Ventura and wants no part of this mess.

Wasn’t Torborg a catcher too?

It is funny how far we’ve come from people assuring me credible managers like Girardi (before he became a disaster) would want to manage the Sox? Now it’s universally accepted and we’re like “Ozzie is the only one besides Grifol who would take the job.”

Who exactly is looking at a baseball shortstop for moral guidance? Who is insinuating that his/her opinions are stronger than said shortstop's wife? People choose who to root for. They make a choice to spend their time and/or money rooting for a player or a team. When a player has obvious behavioral problems (i.e. cheater, shouting racial epithets at opposing players, comparing himself to the beloved Jackie Robinson, telling the fans to f- themselves) people make sound judgements not to root for said player. I know you're trying to associate criticism of a players behavior with with his race but you're the only one obsessed with this and you're the only one pretending not to know that people's opinions about him have not been formed in a vacuum. No where has anybody but you insinuated anything about Anderson other than calling out his poor behavior. By the way, I saw Pat Fitzgerald on the cover of the paper today for being fired for his poor behavior. I've never seen Anderson's behavior on the cover of the paper. Maybe I just missed that edition, it is not impossible. I agree with @joejoesox.

Yeah, It’s not like there were multiple threads about Clevinger in spring training.

Nah

It’s been a long time since I laughed this hard

I think he must mean one of Ohtani’s children or another relative of Ohtani.

I don’t think anyone wants a cancer that can’t hit or field.

As long as there are at bats like the viral one from the other day I don’t think it matters. He’s already quit.

I don’t think Anderson gets moved. I think the Sox are stuck with him.

These guys are the masters at Chicago sports insults. https://www.chicagofanatics.com/viewforum.php?f=33&sid=c6b10b9b8488860ae3c47a4dad085cdc

Really reaching there.

I don't generally disagree but I hate the holier-than-thou inconsistency. Either keep everything private or don't run down others when they post private bad news. (Not accusing you of doing so.)

3) Citation needed 4) Then it’s not our business when any of these guys do charitable work around the city. Either it’s private or it’s not. They don’t get to accept the praise and have the bad swept under the rug. 5) This is not in a vacuum. There is something broken with this organization. Edit: For the record I don’t give a rats rear end what happens in Giolito’s life or how many chicks Anderson knocks up or any of that nonsense. But consistency is a thing and if they are going to accept the praise then they can’t avoid the criticism. Also I can’t stand when holier than thou people say “it’s none of our business!!!” In one breath and in another talk about what great guys we have because of their work in the charitable communities. It’s nauseating.
