Jerry is the worst owner in the MLB.  A monkey throwing a dart could make better decisions than him when it comes to running a successful winning team.

Arte Moreno had 2 HOFers on his team and couldn't win. He had players ODing on drugs supplied by personnel in the front office. JR is bad. He's not "the worst".

The writers for the game should be embarrassed for praising any team that is spending less than 100 million dollars. 

They should be embarrassed that it took 2 weeks for anyone to realize the Sox signed Tyson Miller

This guy is our closer. So he should be included as part of the Robert trade. Sox used the money to sign this guy. OK with the Acuna acquisition and adding two pitchers, Sox should be creeping close to .500 this season and mabe contend in this weak division. I wonder if they could land a starting pitcher even though starters only go five innings. ... The Sox have made some moves. The question is is our team a .500 club yet??

Not unless the offense gets a whole lot better to pick up a pretty weak starting staff.

Win totals have not been released anywhere. Their projected WAR is bottom 3. 

Id say remind me in 1 month when win total o/u's are released, but youll just pretend it never happened.

These lines have nothing (or little) to do with where anybody thinks the Sox will wind up, but it's a magical spot that will inspire equal betting on both sides of the line to cancel each other out. The house makes money off the vig.

Im shocked that this is your opinion. Go to Pittsburgh and Colorado and others they'll say the same thing about their owners. How about Oakland where the owner moved the team without having another home. You dont have the exclusive hate for the owner of your team.

That makes the equilibrium at the point where the middle of all bets would be, so literally half of the people think the Sox will win that many games,  or more, and the other half less.  It's the literal crowdsourcing of where people think the Sox will be next year.

Yeah, that's the wisdom of crowds. Betting lines are set, though, and then move based on betting. Last year's ridiculous line of 49.5 wins for the White Sox eventually moved. I wouldn't rely on a prostitute sizing me up on the North Ave. bridge to assess my own value as a man.
