That line for the team stores is ridiculous. I ordered all my stuff online, forget waiting in those lines. Good luck to you guys if you do.

Basically how I'm feeling this month with Lakers winning their 17th title, then Dodgers winning 2020 WS this week.

The White Sox rehiring Tony La Russa isn't shocking because their owner is an absolute a#$ who chose to be nostalgic.

Jerry Reinsdorf has always been an incompetent owner. He proved it when he had Michael Jordan with the Bulls by underpaying him during the apex of his storied career. He's lucky Rod Thorn drafted Jordan in 1984. Bulls were always a perpetual show before and after MJ. Reinsdorf is the luckiest stupid owner ever by having MJ and getting 6 titles out of it.

Cleveland is a pathetic organization. Get Lindor out of there so he can prosper.

I thought all the National writers were jumping the gun saying this off-season was going to be bad - they’ll probably be right. Cheap *** owners

White Sux keep finding new ways to embarrass the city

Also it wasn't just being around teammates but my guy was hugging folks and shaking hands, along with removal of mask at times. For the team photo I get it, he was likely around those guys long enough where the ship has sailed in regards to contact tracing. However, it's the families, media staff, and other folks that weren't in the dugout and clubhouse with him.

I love JT but he was wylin.

Respect for this post. One of the few Dodgers fans I've seen on any platform with some type of awareness. The reaction to his move is just a poor reflection of how society has tackled covid issues.

LaRussa to the White Sox is about to be a thorn in what could be a budding dynasty with all those young guns. That racist dweeb is about to run off TA and what good will the White Sox had building this past year if he stays stuck in his ways.

Funny thing is, when they released the news, they accidentally left AJ Hinch's signature on the press release instead of LaRussa's. Hinch was a far better and ideal move for them IMO.

 

[cedric ceballos]

I don’t get that Tony La Russa move. AJ Hinch would’ve been a much better option for an up and coming team like that White Sox squad.

 

[Fozz]

Does LaRussa hinder Luis Robert's growth?

I'm really surprised he was even open to returning to managing a team.

 

[kingjay718]

**** racist *** Tony LaRussa. And this is coming from a Cards fan. Get my boi Timmy out of there

?????

Had to rub my eyes this morning when I saw..."LaRussa?!"

Nah.
That Regime is dead.
Don’t let the LaRussa hir, man I don’t even care to finish my statement.
I feel so bad for Whitesox players.
They deserve better.
FREE TIM ANDERSON

 

[Retroballer]

Hinch looks to be heading to Detroit. Longer term rebound but their arms in the system are silly right now. Won’t be long.

starting pitchers better start prepping their arms and get ready for 120 pitch counts

 

[651akathepaul]

I miss beisbol.

 

[therealest1]

I'm posting this wool Dodgers Jackie Robinson jersey in the aftermath of Dodgers winning 2020 WS. I got this size 52 back in January after finally exchanging a size 48 I was sitting on since 2017 for it.

I'm also glad I had this Brooklyn Dodgers hat with the green under brim since 2008 for accuracy purposes since Cooperstown Collection hats like these are really hard to find now.

 

[Hahahaha]

Rays declining Charlie Morton. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Yankees are idiot for not signing him last year. Bozos, need to see if he’s interested.

With so many teams being cheap this year, now is the time for the Yankees to get mad players for a reasonable price.

Springer wants out of Houston?

Springer wants out of Houston?

Believe so. Put his Houston home on the market earlier this season.

Maybe the Mets will be competitive again. Now it’s time for new Knicks ownership

Don’t bring us up in here smh

 

[therealest1]

It looks like this offseason should favor the Dodgers logically regarding free agency because a lot of decent names are on the market and should come cheap which somewhat plays into the way Andrew Friedman operates by being cheap.

There's a good market with pitchers particularly which Dodgers still need to really fortify their championship repeat bid. Their weakness has been backend starting and relief pitching for years now. Yes I'm happy they finally won, but that bullpen has been problematic.

If Dodgers can get Brad Hand cheap, they need to take him and make him the primary closer because Kenley Jansen hasn't been viable after 2017 season. I think there's also decent middle relief help that can be acquired cheap too.

Masahiro Tanaka would be a good no. 4 starter Dodgers could add to go along with projected starters Walker Buehler, Clayton Kershaw, and David Price if he comes cheap. Tanaka with Dodgers in 2021 would be an awesome full circle because they failed to get him from Japan in 2014 when Yankees outbid them.

No lies told. Mize (#1 pick), Tarik (cutter) and Soto (DR) got some valuable big-league experience in the shortened season. Burrows got some limited innings in too. Then there's Wentz, Manning and Faedo in AA Erie.
