Keeping costs low as JR prepares to sell the team. That’s what I think is going on. JR isn’t dumb so he has to see that there’s no way this team can compete next year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's going to stay with Gordon whether you like it or not...especially when he starts working "under" Getz as a broadcaster. 2011? That's the kind of thing kids would joke about in the 1980s or early 90s. Hence his being forced to quickly apologize. Balta definitely will have an opinion here, lol. At any rate, it sounds like a likely defense from a drunken yuppie stockbroker situated in the Wrigley bleachers...who was undoubtedly in a frat as well.

Quin Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 14 hours ago, caulfield12 said: I lived in Kansas City from 1997 through 2007 (minus one year in Colombia), so I can fairly confidently say the one I always went to west of State Line one in Mission and it was definitely called Oklahoma Joe's by everyone. At that point, KC Masterpiece was still a thing (they closed their Country Club Plaza restaurant during this period, founder Dr. Rich Davis was on our non-profit BoD) and so were Gates and Arthur Bryant's. Touche. I will say, any time someone argues against KC bbq (especially St. Louisans), my counterpoint is that whenever I'm in KC, I can just plug "bbq" into a GPS, go to the nearest place, be it famou or not, and be satisfied.

The best answer he has to anything is some version of "We'll figure it out in time" because he genuinely hasn't had time to work through these things, and in many ways he's not expected to, he's supposed to give appropriate deference to Reinsdorf making the decisions that he wants to make.
