Wait, I was told that players didn’t sign because of money …

SUCK IT, JERRY!!!! (sorry, that’s all I’ve got it …)

Bump. Fun to look back at comments from April.

Somewhere in the very near future: "something something Mets something opposite of Dolphins something happy to give up a record it's all yours something something woohoo!"

If this has been discussed I apologize, but have to ask, what’s with the “…” after every thread title???

In typical Sox fashion, they get the math backwards. People would likely pay an additional 10% to go to the park and not listen to Schiffren!! Pay less to NOT listen to the broadcast is like a double win!

Chugga chugga choo choo!

This organization is so clueless …. ?‍♂️

For us or JR???

LONG LIVE SPORTSVISON! (oh, and also, UHF, WPWR, and channel 60 …)

To avoid 120 losses they have to do better than 40-107 the rest of the way. The way they look, that doesn’t seem achievable. 30-117 honestly doesn’t sound ludicrous for this group, and that would leave them with 130 losses.

Embrace the horror.

WS2023 raises an interesting question. What is the list of WS managers or FO personnel that were actually in demand after they left the org? I’m not sure I know. Ozzie, sort of, for about 6 months before he pissed off half the population of Miami? Much younger, I’m-okay-with-roids TLR? Beyond that …..?

No need. For the first time JR finally had a training staff that was doing things the way he thought they should be done, and it would’ve taken someone from outside the org a year to learn the organization! He did think about bringing Branch Rickey in to lead the training staff, but interviewing a dead guy was too much work.

And we think Eloy gets hurts too often on solid ground! I’m picturing him trying to play the field in 5 foot swells!

If it walks like JR and talks like JR ………

It’s like Poles likes the general idea of having cap space but not actually using it. Does anyone know if there’s a real time cap space tracker anywhere? Curious how much they have left because 2 yrs for Hunter, even at $24M per, is not crazy. (specifically the 2 yr part)

Hahn overpaying to fill the roster with replacement level players vs. Getz trying to sign total crap for pennies. I’m honestly not sure which is worse.

You’re like the SoxTalk version of Shawshank. Keep writing and you’ll eventually get your library!

He clearly graduated from the Pedro Grifol School of Public Speaking

Agree 100%. But you can be pissed as hell that JR poisoned your lifetime commitment. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

It is. Which is why people will argue tooth and nail for a well-run organization. This thread would be 2 pages if people didn’t care.

Think about what that says about how a lot of people feel about this organization. Think about what is driving those feelings, that they’re that crazy. It’s THAT bad.

We’re going to need a bigger mountain ……..

Since “big, modern thinking”, “private funding”, and “Jerry Reinsdorf” typically aren’t used in the same conversation, I’ve been trying figure the motive behind this. I know zip about estate law, but there’s been a lot of discussion (including from JR himself) about how he does/doesn’t want to pass things on to his kids. Is there any estate benefits to putting his money into this?
