South Side Hit Men Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Funny segment at the end of Laurence Holmes covering Jeff Passan’s interview about breaking the DUI story, including speculation regarding Twitter posters @wetbut23 and @Mr.Sugar(male anatomy) as Passan’s DUI source, and whether it was in house or not. Coupled with all the Twitter banter here with random Chicago chain fast food IDs, very amusing day and much needed after the debacle. That Twitter World be cray cray, but keep’em coming.

Obviously a great player but is that a good use of $ on a team like the Sox? Bauer & Springer are the two top FA available. Given my druthers...I would take Bauer but either improve the team hugely IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) I’m not going to be able to make It through this off season.

I’m a little skeptical about Al’s Cheesy Beef because it seems like he’s just throwing stuff at the wall, hoping it sticks but he is connected through PortillosHamburger so who knows.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I don't know if this is where we are dumping our Off-season plans, but here is mine... https://www.southsidesox.com/2020/11/12/21563416/joey-doughnuts-2020-2021-off-season-plan The long-story short is this.... In summary: - Fire La Russa, hire Fuld - Re-sign Colome (1yr/$6M) - Sign Springer (5yr/$115M) - Sign Quintana (2yr/$20M) - Sign Yates (1yr/$6M) - Acquire Woodruff for Cease, Mendick, Stiever, Adolfo - $141M payroll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) I would absolutely love that offseason. Honestly probably the dream one for me. Brewers would want more than that though. Edited November 13, 2020 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the guy who’s bio was “A Journalist with integrity” Or the Cubs cat that kept saying Harper was going to the Cubs.

It is going to be so painfully so like no other offseason, for numerous reasons... mainly: 1.) We’re all in the middle of a pandemic lock down and have nothing to do with no where to go. 2.) Free agents aren’t going to sign for ages due to market uncertainty. We are all going to be bonkers by December... if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
