It's Time

[mreye]

It's time to jump out of the window.

It's time to slit your wrists.

It's time to move the team to Iraq.

It's time to cut somebody.

It's time to fire Kenny Williams.

It's time to fire Jerry Manuel.

It's time to sell the team, JR.

 

White Sox Baseball...It's Time!

It's time to sell the team, JR.

I got a hell of an idea for Jerry Reinsdorf.

 

Instead of having majority ownership of 2 teams in Chicago, why not sell one of them so you can concentrate all of the money that is being pumped into two teams and make the superteam of its sport by putting all the cash into one.....then, you can put a good product on the field, a real manager as manager of the team, you can hire a real GM, and you can hire someone to replace Rob Gallas, who is a f***ing idiot.

 

Seriously though....if JR sells one team, the one team he still owns could have a payroll of like $80-100 mill....so why does he not sell one of the teams, if he wants that 1 World Championship so damn bad? I'll make a hypothetical here...

 

JR sells the Bulls. Then, after this season is over, Manuel is fired. He then resigns Bart, and goes out an pursues Kevin Millwood, and we'll say we sign him. That is about $28-30 mill in our front 3....and we then use Garland/Wright/Rauch/Stewart/some cheap piece of s*** that our GM at the time signs because the guy wants one last chance at becoming a star and he wants that ring more then anything in the world....like for instance, Todd Ritchie(though he is not a FA). Our rotation then is earning approximately $32 mill. We then keep Koch and Marte, we bring up Ginter, Diaz, Almonte, and someone from the group of 4 or 5 of the starting pitchers that didn't make it. Our bullpen is then making around $10 mill....and we are $42 mill.

 

We get Konerko the f*** out of here, and we try to get rid of Thomas, but because he wants more money then what he'd get on the FA market, he uses his option and stays with us, for $6 mill. We resign Lee for $6 mill, and those two flip flop between 1B and DH on a regular basis....with Lee being able to play LF as well, if, for instance, a guy like Maggs(who by the way is earning a small amount of money next year....$14 mill) wants a day off from the field, but does want to hit. Our offense is then making $26 mill....and we make Borchard the key to the lineup, putting him in the heart of it, to break up the righties. We resign Daubach at $1 mill a year, and use him in LF or at 1B, whichever is open on that particular day. We sign Luis Castillo to be our 2Bman, and we(gulp) use D'Angelo Jimenez as our SS. I then suggest we sign Barry Larkin to be a util IF and we do not resign Graffy. In Larkin, we get a former GG SS who has diminished skills and is injury prone....which is why I think as a utility player, he is perfect, at this point in his career. Our lineup is then Castillo, Jimenez, Maggs, Borchard, Lee, Daubach, Thomas, Crede, Olivo....and, as a collective whole, it earns, about $35-36 mill....and our bench will earn approximately $3 mill.

 

On the expensive end, this team would earn $81 mill. If JR sold the Bulls....what would be so damn hard about having a team make $81 mill?
