QUOTE (turnin' two @ Oct 29, 2017 -> 11:54 PM) Hmm. How about the fact that only 30 MLB manager positions exist in the world. Girardi currently does not hold one of them. The Sox have one. Seems like a reason to me. There's the concept of opportunity cost. For a top manager like Girardi it would be significant. For bottom of the barrel guys like Ventura or Renteria there is no opportunity cost.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 01:04 PM) Why not? He's a baseball guy and knows Chicago is a great city for baseball and sports in general and we have one of the up and coming teams on paper. What would he have against Chicago except the front office dynamic of Kenny sort of in charge and Hahn sort of in charge? Why not? That would like Phil Jackson going to coach the Sacramento Kings or Bill Belichick going to coach the Buffalo Bills. Why would a serious manager come to an organization that can't even be remembered by ESPN? Joe Girardi is never coming to the White Sox.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) Lots of irrational Cubbie hate here! Go Chicago! These guys aren't assholes, the real asshole is the National's Daniel Murphy anti-gay bible thumping loon. Glad to see he doesn't advance. Go cubs! Good to see the 70 IQ Beta Male crowd has a voice on these boards.

QUOTE (JPR @ Oct 10, 2017 -> 01:36 AM) Sale left a lot to be desired. I've never seen a guy get a standing ovation with such an uninspiring performance. We won that trade. Admittedly I'm new here but I didn't think posts got more insane than greg775's. I now see how wrong I was.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 07:21 AM) Clayton Kershaw has sucked in the postseason too, I guess nobody would want him on their team either. Randy Johnson is 2-8 with an ERA around 5 in the DS. David Price is one of the worst all time post season pitchers.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 1, 2017 -> 09:21 AM) Hahn is on the Score at 11. He'll say the draft is deep and he's happy about the winning, but there's no way they don't wish they lost a few more, or aren't pissed the Tigers tanked that bad over the last couple months. Forgive me for being confused but isn't that what nearly everyone on these boards wanted the Sox to do this year? I remember half the board even wanting the Cubs to sweep them. How is what the Tigers did any different?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 10:19 PM) The Cubs last 3 seasons have been about as good as the entire Reinsdorf tenure. I really hope Hahn is as smart as we think he is. Einstein isn't as smart as people on these boards think Hahn is.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) The fanbases that show up even when things are bad versus the ones that completely dessert a franchise makes a huge difference in the resources a franchise has. It is the reason that places like Cleveland stay bad so much longer than others. Awaiting Lipman's reply that attendance doesn't matter ...

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 09:29 AM) Harper is White and his team wears red, no thanks. He'll come here and bat .202 with 30 homers. I've been following the boards for a while and I must say this is about the most stupid, ignorant statement I've ever seen on these boards. When did Sox fans turn into Cubs fans?
