This team sure is fun to watch right now. Suck it Cleveland!

I dislike him as a person, but Clevinger is dealing right now.

Goodness, if Crochet's arm doesn't blow up, we've got something special boys.

Crochet is FILTHY.

Sold high as in the amount of whining over trading Burger was NEVER justified (and that we sold at his peak value). The return would be even worse if we waited to trade him this year.

The Sox sold high on Burger.

Winning is fun.

Or the Ump who wasn't calling the strike zone evenly for both starting pitchers.

You must not follow basketball, because the rest of the world caught up to the USA years ago. Not only that, the US doesn't send their absolute best players anymore (for various reasons), so it's not even close to the NBA Dream team era.

About time someone puts a major league swing on a damn ball!

As an eternal optimist (I still think Justin Fields is much better than he showed in Chicago), even I can't agree with that latter statement.

You have to consider the source my friend. But no, it wasn't really needed.

That's exactly how I use it myself ?

We don't want the team to move.

Never as in past tense? Agreed. Now? I'm not so sure.

I meant more in the way of we suffered through this year to ONLY get 5th. And Cleveland hopped over us to get the 1st overall. Bit of a gut punch for me personally ?

I don't think he cares. I'm pretty sure when and if it was brought it up to him, he likely hand wove it away to talk about profit margins on the concessions.

Wow... I'm speechless. We suffered through this year to end up picking...5th? What a kick in the dick.

This is a very strange take.

Counterpoint-, see Caray, Chip.

I kept hearing how great he was and it never really clicked for me. He was pretty "meh" for me so this changes nothing. I was a MAJOR Hawk and Wimpy fan so maybe I'm a little biased though.

We aren't even sure if that's why they were fired though? We ASSUME it was incompetence, but that's never triggered Jerry with EITHER of his teams in the past? We know they were incompetent, but let's not obfuscate that with the ACTUAL reason Jerry fired them (and that we can only speculate on).

If the original Sox would have moved? Yes we would have. Chicago would be first on ANY expansion list should either team ever move.

Not really. It was one of those trades that didn't really work out great for either team. Sure the Red Sox won a title, but I would not attribute that to the trade they made with us.

Well, this, is an unfortunate (albeit expected) turn of events. Wow.
