February 21, 20197 yr I am geoblocked so I can't listen. A quick summary would be great when he's done. Thanks.
February 21, 20197 yr It sounds like Rick knew exactly what the Padres offer was with Jerry by his side.

A close 1A would be to stop spending your time, effort, and money on the team if you still feel like you need to make a point. As noted, I called them earlier today at the 312 number. I was surprised there was no automated system a rep actually picked up, I b****ed for a minute, heard her say "sorry to hear that" and I hungup. Felt kinda cathartic. Hopefully people call and b**** in addition to not spending money. I doubt either will do much but it can't hurt. Edited February 21, 20197 yr by chitownsportsfan
February 21, 20197 yr Author Just now, South Sider said: I think he danced around the "did you have a chance to counter" question. He absolutely did.
February 21, 20197 yr Don't try to convince me you're angrier than I am, Rick, you fuck -- tell me how you're going to make it better.
February 21, 20197 yr Break down the big myth then, Rick. Will you do what it takes to bring in a premium talent?
February 21, 20197 yr He actually did it. He is saying we should feel good that they made a losing offer. Edited February 21, 20197 yr by Eminor3rd
February 21, 20197 yr Rick, stop justifying your failure and just man up and say you screwed up. Stop deflecting.
February 21, 20197 yr 5 minutes ago, GenericUserName said: Said the 8/250 was basically accurate. Kind of called out Bruce about the out clause thing when asked about it. Said its not true. Edit: My posts are very much going to be paraphrase and cutting through the talk. Definitely not direct quotes. His comments also suggested they are very critical of player opt outs. Manny's opt out from San Diego was after the 5th year, why would the White Sox be against that? Who cares if Manny rakes and then opts out after the 5th year. We would have had him in his prime during our "window".
February 21, 20197 yr Rick: they said we wouldn't do X, we did X. they said we wouldn't do Y, we did Y. they said we wouldn't do Z, we TRIED to do Z. No, you FAILED.
February 21, 20197 yr "That money is going to be spent" is going to be one of his new lines he repeats every time he talks.
February 21, 20197 yr I was one of the most optimistic people here - you are literally just lying to yourself if you think the Sox have even a 1% chance of signing Harper. Hahn said they didn't get a chance to match. Also saying each player can decide what's lead them to sign... it's always guaranteed money Rick. How have they not figured this out!? Now he's citing they are still a changed organization... it's nonsense. "Pretty aggressive move." Why does he keep patting himself on the back. He says he doesn't give himself credit, but he keeps bringing it up. YOU GOT OUT BID BY THE FUCKING SAN DIEGO PADRES!!!
February 21, 20197 yr Author "We will spend the money." You are not going to be able to outbid the goddamn Yankees and Cubs and Dodgers. THIS offseason was the goddamn offseaon to do it you asshole.
