  1. People get comfie, including old rich owners. Maybe 20 years ago JR had a sense of pride around his franchises. Now I don't really think he cares. The JR that created disco demo night, the pinwheel and so on doesn't exist anymore. Institutional rot is a thing, and it reflects itself in things like this renovation, where a strong CEO would have prevented how it was changed for the worse.
  2. I wonder how much he even know what's going on. He's 86.
  3. If they had some propane heaters or fireplaces or something I could see the utility to come in, warm up, get a drink before heading back to your seats. This looks half assed, as with everything they do.
  4. He’s almost certainly going to get paid his contract one way or another. This franchise will have a black cloud over them and he will be a huge distraction until he’s off the roster.
  5. Listening to him talk about Tatis makes me sick. f*** rooting for this guy. Just cut his ass and eat the contract.
  6. Bro, you don't fire the mail room guy if the CEO runs the company into the ground. The buck stops at the top.
  7. Hey man Kenny Williams beat Hahn five in a row at ping pong during the winter meetings and JR just sprung for new paddles.
  8. There's not a fan here, well maybe one or two, on their own hardcore fan message board, willing to give this team the benefit of the doubt. That speaks volumes. You know what, I wonder if they knew about this before the cancelled Sox Fest. When did Hahn know and what did he do? It appears he knew before today, and it appears he did nothing. A few years ago the Internet blew up with this term "fan murdering". I think it describes pretty much exactly what this team has done to their fans over the last two decades. There has been a series of fan murdering moves and it never ends.
  9. I'm really sick of cancer. Kick its ass Liam.
  10. who has more career WAR going forward: Kimbrel or Big Dick Nick?
  11. I'm absolutely fine trading Liam. It's the sort of sell high Hahn actually excels at and if we could actually score some fucking runs this year elite closer won't be as important. f*** I'm actually getting some hope up again.
  12. Looking at his batted ball profile, there's some worrying signs. Whatever. He's probably a 2 WAR player. That's better than what we were working with previously.
  13. Better late than never. He's a solid regular. We could use more of those.
  14. The CBA worked, and is working. The deals signed this offseason are being done quickly and without much resistance from the clubs. They know the money train is stopping for nothing, not even "bad contracts" or "luxury tax". Meanwhile the Sox' biggest contract ever handed out in FA remains Grandal. Hard out here for Sox fans.
  15. Tigers fans I know don't like him. He's like a homeless mans Avi.
  16. They will pull me back in eventually but for now I'm done and it's reflected in my post count here since the trade deadline. Think I've made maybe half a dozen. I really just don't care about this club. I didn't bother to post on it until now but Hahn's comment about how they were projected to runaway with the division so they didn't sign anybody big last year really, and I mean really, pissed me the f*** off. PROJECTIONS LIKE THAT ARE WHEN YOU GO ALL IN YOU ARROGANT f***. STOP TREATING YOUR FANS LIKE IDIOTS.
  17. I think I'm done as an active fan. God speed to those still hanging on. I'm too old for this s%*#.
  18. That's about what you would expect. On paper this is another 84 or so win team.
