September 3, 201015 yr Or you could pull the Loria/Dolan/Pirates' trick and run the franchise into the ground, pilfer all the (revenue sharing) profits out of the team, pocket a HUGE capital gain by selling the team and then retire to the island of Milena. Or just buy Milena. Actually, I wouldn't retire. I would buy a minor league franchise (probably in the Midwest League), those are much more fun to operate. And that way you'd still be close enough to make it to quite a few Sox games in person. FYI, did anyone see where Frank McCourt didn't know where he "misplaced" the $2.5 million he got when the Dodgers' sale went through, and also professed unwareness of "dodgers.com"? Incredible. Arte Moreno must be laughing up a storm (just not at this season's results).
September 3, 201015 yr Brooks Boyer currently holds my dream job given the field I'm in... so realistically HIM. Fantasy-wise, Kenny Williams.
September 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 07:50 AM) And then you'd go all tribune company and file for bankruptcy. Umm... no. I said Steinbrenner. He didn't file for bankruptcy, did he?
September 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 09:13 AM) Umm... no. I said Steinbrenner. He didn't file for bankruptcy, did he? Where you're going to get that kind of revenue outside of the NYC media market then becomes your question. If you try to spend like him without having the revenue stream, you wind up doomed.
September 3, 201015 yr I have always said, if I ever win the powerball, I am buying a minority share of the Sox so that I can sit on the board of directors. I want Jerry's job more than anything, but to even sit on the board would be it.
September 3, 201015 yr Being Mark Buehrle wouldn't suck. No-hitter, perfect game, World Series ring, Gold Glove, a segment of Baseball Tonight dedicated to one of your plays, oh, and a ton of cash. I think that would work for me.
September 3, 201015 yr Southpaw for sure. I'd be flirting with all the girls, maybe slipping them my number. Some girls have to like the mascot, right? Edited September 3, 201015 yr by WilliamTell

September 4, 201015 yr QUOTE (TitoMB @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) I'd wanna be the "HOT dogs!" man. Who doesn't know him?! he got nothing on the "beer is your buddy, buy a friend" guy...
September 4, 201015 yr I would like to be whoever is the majority owner so I could stage a coup to remove the Chairman. Edited September 4, 201015 yr by mcgrad70
September 5, 201015 yr The chairman brought us a WS title. Not bad considering the ineptitude in this town concerning baseball championships.
September 5, 201015 yr TV Broadcasting: The guy in charge of the control room (Jim Angio?) Radio Broadcasting: Producer of Rongey's show. White Sox behind-the-scenes job: Scott Reifert White Sox front office: Kenny Williams White Sox player: None of them. If I had the balls to go out and play, I'd be Buehrle. White Sox coach: Joey Cora

September 6, 201015 yr PK, has anyone seen his wife? ... talent. I know everyone will say that Kotsay's wife is hotter, BUT, then you'd have to be Mark Kotsay and be a crap baseball player.
