Kyyle23 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I’m positive that my elation of that moment was quickly extinguished when it became apparent what was happening next. Pretty sure boob let us know Getz was coming to rescue Harold and torment the rest of us 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) Was a great day. I was at the game and found out about the news after I grabbed a beer and met up with some co-workers on the concourse shortly after walking into the stadium. It was one of those Tuesday value games with $5 concessions and beers and I celebrated lol the excitement was very short lived.

Lip Man 1 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Ironically this also happened on August 22nd and could have drastically changed White Sox history: August 22, 1980 - Sox owner Bill Veeck agreed to sell the team to Edward DeBartolo Sr., a multi-millionaire who invented the modern-day shopping mall in Ohio. DeBartolo though was voted down by the other league owners due to speculation about his possible association with mobsters and his acknowledged horse racing interests. The way was then opened for Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn to purchase the team. Einhorn was part of a group originally trying to buy the San Diego Padres and Reinsdorf was part of a group attempting to own the New York Mets. DeBartolo meanwhile eventually bought the San Francisco 49’ers, let his son run the franchise and promptly won multiple Super Bowls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was needed but did nothing to improve the organization and actually, remarkably enough made it worse. Getz is as bad at his job as Pedro was, if not worse. Outside of Bannister any average fantasy baseball player could have made the moves he made. Not sure it's possible he could redo his work any more poorly than he already has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
