January 25, 20215 yr 1 hour ago, Quin said: I have nightmares about Thome's walk-off against Thornton. I turned it off when the pitch was thrown before Thome swung. My Dad said, “why’d you do that?!?” I told him the game was over and that Thome was hitting it way back. Dad didn’t believe me but then turned it on to see I was right.
January 25, 20215 yr If Orlando has a million fans I am one of them. If Orlando has ten fans I am one of them. If Orlando has no fans, that means I am no longer on Earth. If the world is against Orlando, I am against the world. I love Orlando till my last breath.
January 25, 20215 yr I have no clue how the last few pages relate to Cruz. Do we know where this stands?

I really hope Cruz joins the Sox. We have real smoke from credible guys and smoke from accounts that may not be credible that suggests he may be an option.

Imagine how Astros fans felt about the Pujols blast. The second the ball the thrown the pitcher knew he messed up.

January 25, 20215 yr 8 minutes ago, 35thstreetswarm said: Last 13 or 14 years probably works. But I will say that the willingness to spend top-of-market in the 2000s when Jerry really believed we were contenders has kept me holding out hope that we might get back there again during this window. Part of me wonders whether Jerry just doesn't quite buy that we're there yet. JR has been very willing to spend money when we are competitive. Many of those spend money moves have blown up like Dunn, EE, LaRoche, Danks, etc. He put big money on the table for some of our success stories like Abreu, Robert, and all the early extensions. He has stayed away from the stupid 10 years at 30 million per year stuff. I don't blame him for not wanting to have all his eggs in one basket. It is just not prudent IMO. Only pitchers with long term deals scare him off and we probably have Danks to thank for that. I am hopeful that RH can find a creative way to attract Bauer in a manner acceptable to JR making an exception. He sure would fit this team to a tee.

January 25, 20215 yr Don’t forget Bobby Jenks vs. a certain Twins CF who shall not be named from 2008, hint, a Hawk favorite not named Torii Hunter. Or one of the forgettable 2012 rookie relievers against Boston down the stretch...Cody Ross. Zobrist in the Dome against Koch. David Robertson vs. the Royals. Any no name Twin like Denny Hocking, Lew Ford, Nick Punto or Blanco vs. White Sox. Edited January 25, 20215 yr by caulfield12

Nothing that's occurred in the last 20 years supports the idea that this team will spend beyond the 50th percentile at best, no matter what the roster needs. How many of those 20 years have the Sox had a legitimate pennant contender?

IMO, this is a pump job for a friend to stir interest and scare the Twins. Why, in Blomberg's name, would Cruz commit to a Sox offer, probably a low ball one at that, before the NL DH is decided? And there's no credible indication from anywhere else that Sox have made any offer or even shown interest.
January 26, 20215 yr 56 minutes ago, Eminor3rd said: Ok, last 15 years? They ran top-5 payrolls for a few years after the 2005 WS win. Which is why trading Vaughn++ for Burnes and signing Cruz (or Ozuna) needs to happen. The only way to convince Reinsdorf to spend like he should is if there is guaranteed revenue coming in and that means a deep postseason run.

It's wild. I don't give a shit who has sources or who tweets what. I just come for the entertainment value of the tweets and the board collapsing like a star becoming a black hole. I pray for all the souls that get sucked into this blackhole of melodrama. #event horizon
