I refer, of course, to Governor Shaefer's quip about the Eastern Shore, when he called it a shithouse. I've driven over the Bay Bridge many times. Beautiful. I'm regularly attacked by large ravens. I believe all y'all call them "mosquitoes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s only allowed for st louis. There won’t be punishments, I’m just going to hide it because I’m sure there is a Reddit for that stuff you can all go to. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to make fun of Baltimore. My wife's family is from the Eastern Shore, and the governor, in 1991, referred to it with that quip. It's pretty famous there, I'm told. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1991/02/11/Irate-residents-deliver-outhouses-to-governor/1448666248400/ Edited January 6 by WestEddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was our prior GM’s top job priority, but he lasted just under eleven seasons. Obsessing over, responding to, and throwing shade at White Sox fans’ social media posts, and making absurd claims with the teams he assembled like “multi-championship competitive window” and “meet me at the parade”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like GMs who do not respond too much on media just because of this. Just getting things done by setting goals and rarely deviate from what they need to do. Krall, Elias and Chernoff have not done what media and fans think they should do so far during this off season. All three built strong foundations for respective teams and do not seem to care for outside influences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kind of funny in the pre rebuild years when our farm system was a laughingstock we had guys like Frankie Montas, Semien, bassit, tatis jr, etc. that have gone on to have better careers for other teams than our big time blue chippers when we were a top system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
