Why be happy when we can b****, right?
Honestly, if anyone under 1000 posts brings up Tatis off topic, they should instantly be banned.
The Astros passed on Kris Bryant and they're fine. Everyone needs to move the hell on.
I can only assume you don't follow basketball at all based on this post.
Chicago is not a sought after market in the NBA. Chicago is a crappy place to live during the NBA season.
"the despite lack of success" bullshit doesn't fly either. The Bulls were very, very good for a long time before Paxson decided (rightly) to blow it up.
It's difficult to draw any comparisons between two different sports which play in opposite seasons with completely different spending models.
The Bulls face difficulties outside of their own organization - NBA FAs signing with Chicago have to live in Chicago during the winter and the team does not currently have any superstars yet.
The White Sox play in a league where spending big is king but it's also a chance to really screw up your franchise. There isn't a "cap" per se but their is a limited amount of money most teams are willing to spend.
I know this thread is a total fish for us to continue complaining about Reinsdorf, but it's not really a fair comparison. The NBA is a really tough business and the White Sox simply were called on their bluff for Manny Machado.
Maybe, but remember the leadoff guy and second guy should be OBP guys first. Their job in a configuration like the one I was bringing up was not to drive in runs. They exist almost entirely to get on base.
So theoretically you want your three worst guys to bat before the top of the order because the top of the order gets on base.
