A-Train to 35th Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 4 hours ago, DFAthewave69420 said: Chris Getz needs to do something notable to gain the respect of the locker room and fans. On the short list, Fire Grifol, Trade Moncada this offseason, Pick up TAs option and Trade him... and bring back the Goose. I agree with all, except the Goose might not want to return with bullets being discharged in the park, but it would definitely be an improvement.

It’s not like KW filled an important role or anything. He has a “sole decision maker” that won’t rock the boat and saves cash, it’s win win for him. It's always gotta be a win win for JR, at least what he believes is a win. Instead of caring about the fans and drawing more in like Rocky Wirtz did, we hold concerts after the game to attract the best baseball rapper crowds in MLB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I know people wanna be positive, but I said this yesterday: “Na, he’ll say the right stuff just like Grifol, and it’ll even win over some posters here. You’ll see a decent amount of posts telling you to give him some time and opportunity to prove he’s incapable.” And it’s so disheartening to see if happening.

He looks like that “yeahhhhh” guy from csi miami that was a meme a long time ago. Fire Getz and then fire the graphic designer Sox Marketing department is the worst. I think it's showing how Getz can be Kenny Williams with shades in the upper left, and tight lipped Rick in the lower right, with a BIG Getz in the middle showing everyone he's a combination of Kenny and Rick. If that doesn't excite Sox fans!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would he sell to someone like Cuban. If he sells while he's still alive, I think he wouldn't have many offers but he'd take the best one regardless of vision. He doesn't have time to f*** around . If they are sold after he passes I'd expect the same from his kids. Sell and be done with it and pocket as much as you can.

Buehrle>Wood Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I realize they have 0 voting powers but how does Jerry face the other 80% shareholders when making moves like this? I guess George Lucas doesn't care that much. But someone there has to. Even his own son moved the Bulls in a different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Anyone who renews their season tickets for next year needs to be publicly humiliated, maybe even tarred and feathered. Edited August 31, 2023 by reiks12 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several died, Jerry scooped up shares from the dead and people wanting their cash for pennies on the dollar like Old Man Potter. The rest are either pleased with their share appreciation. If not, need Jerry to die to redeem their shares at full value. Annual distributions cover taxes and a little sumpin’ sumpin’.

He is a vanilla bean-brain unworthy of a bus ticket to Camelback Ranch. If I hear Jason schmoozing this guy on-air I will puke. They had a chance to find a quality exec and they find a guy who wears t-shirts to work. At least make an effort to interview some up and comers and help them on their way.
