  1. No where did I say I hate everything about the organization, so I suggest you brush up on reading comprehension skills. It will be valuable for you in the future, I promise. And you have every right to feel as optimistic as you do. Some of us also have the right to be excited about the upcoming season but question some of the decisions made. I’m sorry you’re so offended by a different opinion. You really should try and be a more understanding person.
  2. I don't need to be told how to be a fan, but thanks. As others have mentioned, it's possible for multiple things to be true. We can be excited for this season while also frustrated with how the last 5 months have been handled. Additionally, when I hear the Front Office talk about trying to become the 90's Braves with young players continuing to emerge and always being the playoff mix.......I'm sorry that a roll my eyes given the success rate of this current regime.
  3. Yeah, shame on the fans. I mean, the team was established in 1901 and heading into the 2021 season, the franchise has never made the playoffs in back-to-back years. What a bunch of assholes we are.
  4. If the Hawks sign this Damir Zhafyarov, sounds like he goes right into the lineup. If Dach and Toews come back late in the season...they may have something...
  5. I don’t know what to make of this team. They are a lot of fun but it’s sort of hard to figure out what they look like moving forward. Is this for real, or has this just been a hot stretch against bad teams? Is JC actually the right guy behind the bench? What happens if/when Toews comes back? I really didn’t think I’d be watching a lot of Blackhawks hockey this season but here we are lol.
  6. Signing Adam Eaton sort of blows this theory out of the water (among many other things) but OK.
  7. My guess is you’ve already taken a ban hammer here once or twice....
  8. And in the most predictable way possible, #CancelDisneyPlus was trending last night in response to their decision. Because logically, if you are so against cancel culture, the only appropriate action to take is to cancel something else
  9. I’m making this somewhat political so I apologize but I just can’t stand this argument I’m seeing by one side of “Why does Disney get to be the moral arbiter or what is right and what is wrong?” Because they write the checks and she takes their money. You represent the company and they have every right to say “We don’t agree with these views and have decided to part ways in our relationship.” It just bothers me to no end this idea of having zero consequences for our actions. It’s fantasy land to believe otherwise
  10. They’ve really been playing scrappy, glad to see them having some success. And if Lankinen is the real deal, they could be in better shape than previously thought.
  11. I’m a pretty large Bears hater and they most likely would have found a way to make Brady look awful hahah, but I still think it would have been interesting
  12. I think Gronk comes with him wherever he goes. I know he wasn’t even a huge weapon for him. Robinson and Evans may be a wash and Godwin actually put up semi disappointing numbers this year. The Bears made the playoffs with Mitch....I don’t think it’s crazy to think Brady could have won them a few playoff games..
  13. How big of a hot take is it to say it Brady had picked the Bears over the Bucs....it’s Chicago in the Super Bowl right now?
  14. Two things. 1. Zack Wheeler signed for 5/118 with the Phillies. But let’s say that offer never came in from the Phillies. So the Sox offered 125, and the next best offer is from the Yankees at 100 million. Where do you think he ends up? 2. Again, Wheeler signed for 5/118. We don’t know how much the Sox offered, but let’s say it was 125. What if the offer was 140? 150? Does he still tell the Sox no, or does the extra 20-30 million get him to Chicago? What we are saying basically comes down to semantics....but my point is I think in both cases, money DOES become the deciding factor and is the No. 1 decision...but when the difference between the two final offers were so small, the secondary stuff starts to weigh-in more. I don’t believe playing on the East Coast becomes that big of a talking point if the difference in offers was 20+ Million, and the Sox could have made that happen if they wanted.
  15. So help me out guys. I followed everything, but not a huge XMen guy. Does the Quicksilver character have a totally different backstory than the Quicksilver in Ultron? I assume so, I just didn’t know how they handled that...
  16. I don’t think this word means what you think it means.
  17. I mean, it would have been an insult to fans. Trevor Bauer is getting 45 million in 2022. I’m fairly confident we’ll never see a player make that much in a season for the White Sox...ever.
  18. Really awesome write up by Fegan and sounds like a really nice addition. Fan of the staff Tony has put together thus far.
  19. Without being in the room, it felt like Cooper had a business card with 6-7 of his core pitching philosophies printed on them, and would just hand them out to the staff and say “Good luck.”
