Fwiw, he was worth "only" around $2 billion at the time of his death in 1993, so that's around $22 billion if it was growing at roughly 10% interest per year. LOL, poor guy, "ONLY" 2 billion.

kwolf68 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Just now, Jack Parkman said: Unfortunately, the White Sox are one of those teams that has deserved their fate. The Bulls were still a cash cow in the early 2000s when they were bad and the Sox were good, JR had zero reason to spend on the Bulls at that time and he could have taken some of that money and poured it into the Sox and he didn't. I know they have two different ownership groups, but he could have at least put his share into the Sox. You don't get trophies, banners or parades for winning the "fiscal responsibility championship." No argument on this. THIS mentality is the paramount reason people here are talking about trading Rodon, who may be this generations Steve Carlton. Yes, high praise, but his slider is the nastiest slider SINCE Lefty. I'd like to think we could keep that kid in Chicago for 10 years, but we're scared to pay to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think we could keep that kid in Chicago for 10 years, but we're scared to pay to play. I'd love for the Sox to somehow start to do business with Scott Boras' FA clients. I absolutely love Carlos Rodon's arm. I am a proponent of trading him more because I don't believe the organization will pony up than anything else. I'd love to see them act like a large market team for once. Maybe if the Cubs fail to capitalize more than once on their window, and the Sox get new ownership, we'll see the Sox try to take a larger share of the Chicago market.

Imagine he and Kopech anchoring the top of the rotation for the next decade? Dylan Cease as a middle rotation guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Helloooo Ryan LaMarre. Might be good to shut Leury down for the season. Unfortunately, Leury has so much potential, but like Avi, and Derrek 🌹, his body is failing him. Edited August 21, 2018 by Scoots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 My god that might be the worst pitch Giolito has thrown this year. Can't be making simple mistakes like that with 2 outs and 2 strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Giolito has the throwing strikes part down, now he has to learn to finish innings. He seems to give up way too many runs with 2 outs right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Bad Giolito is back again...let's see if he can manage to at least record a quality start. Unfortunately, he's already thrown too many pitches to get through 6 unless it's a REALLY quick 5th. Edited August 21, 2018 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
