Maybe @Tony-OH can create a forum just for them.

Typo and brain fart (and maybe blame the wine). I meant the mid 90s when they were signing FAs (until they got burned by the Belle contract)

Yes we do. We may agree, but you're firing howitzers without showing any awareness for how things really work in a front office.

I understand your disdain for the Angelos ownership. I'm hesitant to paint Rubenstein with the same brush. He's doing and saying things that are as diametrically opposed to the old regime as I can possible imagine

Can't you see what you're doing? You're blaming the current ownership for the cheap ass Angelos ownership.

Just to be clear for my own take. The Angelos family was awesome in the mid 80s. They spent significant dollars to bring in top free agents. Then they were suddenly un-awesome. And then they were a drag for almost 3 decades. They were the worst owners in the league for sure. But Rubenstein seems to be the anti-Angelos. I'm going to give him a chance to prove just that, and would suggest you do the same.

So what Soto deal is possible right now, in May 2024, for the prospects we have in our system?

I think you're grousing about a DFA/waiver move made in May, when the real moves to improve a team aren't executed until July. And for cripes sake, give the new owner a chance. He's owned the team for weeks. How quickly can one reasonably expect a seismic change to take place in extending key player contracts?

Change your MO. Turn from confrontational to conversational. Much better plan

Oh I have no authority whatsover to ban you. But I've been around long enough to know that posters like you don't last long. I could be wrong (and other HO members would need to chime in) I'm probably the least likely contributor to quarrel with anyone. But I can surmise from your posts that your only MO is to ruffle feathers with no regard for reason or logic. It's not going to go well for you if you continue to be sensational and combative.

You have enthusiasm. You have passion. You have a clear desire to be heard. Kudos. But you don't think or post with logic or reason. You're contentious and combative. You're more likely to be banned than respected.

You're just the complainer of the day

He was the heart of Chelsea's lineup the last few years. He actually looks like he could play until he is 70

I suppose you could have said the same thing about the 2023 Orioles with Gibson, Kremer, Bradish, Wells and GRod

So who can we poach from this White Sox roster to strengthen our team?

Mateo now pushing up against an .800 OPS. Have to say I would have been happy with a .700 OPS with elite defense.

That would be more like a reverse-Pip

Jorge Freaking Mateo And I don't mean "Freaking"

Don't be post anything positive on Mullins. You'll only confuse @Roy Firestone (I kid)

How funny would it be that the players are actually viewing the Hangout on the tablets in the dugout?

Agreed, but he is making pitches when he hast to.

I only MOSTLY cheered me up.

Seems to me like Cowser is just missing, still encouraging to see the contact he is making to the opposite field.

Here's the thing... and please understand that I only have HO posts to go on. You talk about yourself... a lot. You talk yourself up... a lot. Why not keep all of that to yourself?

Like it has NEVER happened in the history of MLB
