Whether it happened yesterday or 100 years ago is not the point. It has affected this organization's ability to compete. Going to battle with third tier FA's and a management modus operandi of trying to catch lightening in a bottle may work for you but not me. Does Reinsdorf pay you to bot for him?

Tnetennba Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I can't stop laughing at the absurdity that the same owner that cried about keeping the lights on during the lockout just gave Kris Bryant $182M. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 14 years rockies have been to playoffs 4 times. 1 more time than the Sox. They're run by idiots, but crazier things have happened.

Cleveland has too good of a front office, and a nightmarish post-season history. Pitt is irrelevant. Baltimore, ditto. Miami? Has to be in there somewhere. TB and Oakland are both well-run franchises hamstrung by financial/stadium/fan-base issues largely beyond their control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
