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.

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.
August 31, 20232 yr 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.

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!!

August 31, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, fathom said: The problem with wanting Jerry to sell the team when he’s alive is you damn well know he will only sell to someone who shares a similar vision. 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.

August 31, 20232 yr 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.
August 31, 20232 yr Anyone who renews their season tickets for next year needs to be publicly humiliated, maybe even tarred and feathered. Edited August 31, 20232 yr by reiks12

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’. Edited August 31, 20232 yr by South Side Hit Men

August 31, 20232 yr Getz could end up being the second coming of god but it wouldn't matter, the process and decision making from Jerry is just wrong
August 31, 20232 yr Embarrassing in every sense of the word, only someone in the JR cocoon of dumbassness can be hired! Edited August 31, 20232 yr by Soxfest

August 31, 20232 yr It’s amazing that they think Salvy is going to solve everything. Jerry confirmed today they’re not rebuilding.

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.

As it stands right now, I will continue on next season as I have since about the end of May this year... not watching any games.

August 31, 20232 yr How freaking dumb does JR think the fans are? The one year gap is just a ridiculous argument
