Spending money to bring in premium players would have gotten it done this year, 110 or 135 million dollar payroll be damn. Sometimes 92 wins turns into 82 (or less) because that's baseball. Sign the guys to put u in contention for a s%*# division even when you're projected 80% to win it. This ownership has a "oh everything will go ok" mindset and doesn't understand how baseball works. You talk about rebuilding then Hahn, to his credit, does a decent job, but then you can't sign that extra 2-5 WAR every offseason that every fucking other top 10 payroll contener manages and you don't make the playoffs and you fucking blow it with the fans. Great job, penny smart pound (topical) foolish. Maybe Liz Truss can run the team better, low fucking bar.

They’re going to charge all fans earning less than $100k 25% more for tickets while giving tickets away to anyone worth more than $10 million? Kwasi Karteng or whatever that trickle down-named guy, come on down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been saying this for six month, and it is great that the dogwalked Chicago media finally caught up and all, but it's trite at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can spend $ on whatever they choose but many will pay $10 for a beer but not a few $ a month for articles they want to read. It’s strange how easily people spend on one thing and hold the line on others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - in my case I haven’t bought a beer in over a decade and haven’t been able to find a job since March… so $10 for this type of thing isn’t in the cards. Yay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are somewhat limited in what they can do. The bullpen is a joke. I would bring back Elvis and Cueto. I don't know why you want old guys back. This was supposed to be a rebuild filled with youth. Instead Hahn did what they did when the team was mired in mediocrity, filled it with a bunch of old guys and expected them to make a difference. They haven't and even worse the young guys get injured like much older guys except for our 1st basemen who they play in the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
