Their biggest whiff was actually on an outfielder — choosing Little Person Fletcher over Jake McCarthy. But yeah, Getz taking Vargas back over Twins prospect Luke Keaschall should just be yet another nail in his career coffin as an MLB GM.

Can we build a Time Machine and force Getz to accept the Twins offer of Luke Keaschall, even after knowing he needed TJ surgery? https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-declined-top-twins-prospect-for-erick-fedde/ https://www.milb.com/player/luke-keaschall-807712 The wait for Keaschall to heal from TJ surgery would have aligned well with how long it will take for the Sox to improve the rest of the team. But no, Getz couldn’t give the Twins Fedde for next year because he thinks his team will compete for the division next season! Getz passed on a goddamn 22 year old career .900+ OPS 2B/CF minor league prospect for Vargas. This is almost as bad as the Mena for Fletcher instead of Jake McCarthy trade. What a fucking ass clown. Getz is the shitstain on your kid’s black underwear that you still throw away even after countless washes, just cuz you know it’s still there.

Seems like any and all Getz defenders have officially left the building (site). It’s to the point where it’s almost impossible to defend him at this point.

Yeah, probably cuz Jordan won his sorry ass all of those titles and a Sox championship was much more unlikely and tougher to achieve than finding a needle in a haystack.

You spelled it wrong. It’s “quit”!!!

$5.5 million guaranteed, @Lip Man 1. Solely intended to be a flip candidate but Getz epically failed as usual.

He’s excused. Vargas doesn’t deserve to have his name spelled correctly. Still good and worth a read. 🤣

Who traded for him? Getz. Guaranteed bust.

You are quite the risk-taker, my man… Don’t you know that Grady’s boys don’t quit?!?

I said the same in the past. An average GM, hell, even a terrible GM, would have to try to do this bad of a job… and they still wouldn’t be as successful at failing as Getz was since he took over last year. @Lip Man 1 will like this reference… The Sox may as well form a College of GM’s with fans running the team, like the Cubs did with their College of Coaches in 1961 and 1962.

Tapped out already? 🤣

Yep, another stellar trade by our amazing GM.

Julks leading off, Sosa batting third, along with Sheets, Fletcher, AND Vargas all in the lineup? They are going to kill Skubal.

Sorry, you are definitely right — ethically. But when it comes up from the chain of command, it’s very easy to see why people follow suit. I also don’t think an accidental / negligent discharge of a firearm would be considered a violent crime. Possibly involuntary manslaughter had the discharge killed someone (see Alec Baldwin). But she is definitely lucky she didn’t accidentally kill anyone. I think the story is way different then, and would match what you said should have happened.

Even the Sox aren’t this stupid, I think…

They were likely going to option him to the minors, but they wouldn’t have cut him.

It’s not frivolous when all involved want the story to go away for good. The woman knows this and will get paid to be forgotten. This is how corrupt Chicago still is. Drain the swamp, please.

They will never be the Dodgers, unless a billionaire owner buys the team. With Jerry as the owner, they have to pick a lane and stick with it. In this scenario, it would be spending on their farm system to eventually churn out players like both the Rays and the Guardians, rather than futilely trying to dumpster dive each and every offseason and hoping that multiple old bum players can all have magical seasons before putting in their retirement papers. Would you rather be the White Sox or the Rays / Guardians?

To what end? Would you want to do that and be the “tattle tale” on the police force for such a stupid incident? The police have bigger fish to fry, like actual murders, and were laughing about this stupid obese woman and her fat rolls causing an accidental discharge to be honest.

She isn’t arguing the source of the bullet, and since its origin hasn’t been proven, she is basically suing that she wasn’t “protected from bodily harm” (e.g., gunfire) while in the stadium. She knows she has the ISFA by the balls and that she will get her settlement money. She will sign an NDA as a part of the settlement. It will be small potatoes for the ISFA.

My buddy has friends in the CPD and told me the inside story almost immediately after the incident happened.

So you have never made such a shot with a .25 ACP pocket pistol almost straight up into the air. Got it… No, and that’s not what happened at all. She accidentally shot herself through the leg adjusting the pocket pistol in her fat rolls as she was seated. The only conspiracy is the cover-up by the CPD under the order of the woman’s friend, the mayor. The mayor covered up the truth to protect her friend, the “victim”, as it would be bad press for a Chicago Public School teacher to have a gun, albeit legally. However, she is a CPS teacher living in the suburbs, not in Chicago, which is against the rules. The “victim’s” friend that was attending the game with her smuggled her pocket pistol out of the park immediately after the accidental discharge. What can come into the park can easily be carried out of the park, especially when she was allowed to leave without being detained or questioned.

I have both the big disc set you are describing, as well as the single disc recap. Awesome stuff.

So here’s my feedback on the upgrade… It has definitely sped up the site. I noticed this immediately. I have a Pi-Hole ad blocker on my home network, so my home network was already blocking all of the site’s ads, prior to the upgrade. I then switched over to my iPhone’s data so it would be outside of my Pi-Hole ad blocker and it seems like the ads between posts are now gone. However, there is only one annoyance now… The new ad is on the bottom edge of the screen. My Pi-Hole blocks the ad but still shows a white blank block over the main website in that area. When I switch to my phone data, I can see the ads in this blocked frame at the bottom of my screen. The only reason this is a negative is because it blocks out your pop-up notifications from other posters that are either responding to your posts and/or placing an emoji on your posts. Keep in mind, this is just how it looks on my iPhone, as I have not yet tested it on a PC/laptop or iPad/tablet. I hope I explained this well enough. Otherwise, I would be happy to show @Chisoxfn what is going on. But if the ad is required for the upkeep of the site, so be it. The speed uptick and far less overall ads is already a huge improvement. But it may be better if the single ad was at the top of the screen rather than the bottom, just so you can see notifications from other users. @Chisoxfn, amazing job overall. I’m in the IT field and am well versed in testing stuff so please don’t take offense and let me know if there is anything I can help with on this great site. ❤️

You are correct. The lawsuit is against the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, not against Jerry and the Sox. This is just bad publicity for Jerry and the Sox. Jerry released a statement that the Sox will not comment on the shooting again. So yeah, it was a coverup by the mayor, the CPD on his orders, and the mayor’s friend, the obese woman, along with her friend who smuggled the pocket pistol out of the stadium. Jerry is aware and will obviously keep his mouth shut. The obese woman who shot herself will get her payout settlement to never discuss the situation again (NDA), which will definitely be more than $50,000. And everyone is happy, except for the public wanting to know what the hell actually happened, and the actual truth being released.
