... should be the next white sox manager! that is if the sox have any brains at all.
May we assume you said this in jest?... should be the next white sox manager! that is if the sox have any brains at all.
you know what happens when you assume?May we assume you said this in jest?
No, I assume you were jesting because of the distinct possibility that Cora will likely be banned for more than a year. There's already a groundswell calling for him to be banned for life. The other reason I assume you were jesting is because of the relentless media & fan storm that would definitely follow ANY team who would be stupid enough to hire this cheater. There's a reason Pete Rose, Sammy Sosa and the other major PED cheaters are not employed by MLB in any capacity years after being caught in their transgressions. Think Biggles, think!you know what happens when you assume?
i'm dead serious. in 2021 (assuming he's only suspended for 1 year) cora should become the sox manager. he's talented.
you, thinking i might be jesting, apparently see evil where none exists.
it's you who needs to think! thruout the history of baseball teams have stolen signs. every team is guilty. most just aren't as clever at it as others. comparing doping to stealing signs is ludicrous.No, I assume you were jesting because of the distinct possibility that Cora will likely be banned for more than a year.

LOL, you really do seem to enjoy always being in a group of one, id. I'll give you that much.it's you who needs to think! thruout the history of baseball teams have stolen signs. every team is guilty. most just aren't as clever at it as others. comparing doping to stealing signs is ludicrous.
in a year no one will care that cora or hinch were let go because of it and i assure you they will both be in baseball once their suspensions are lifted.
it's clear to me that sign stealing isn't going to stop. remember the teams that were chastised in the 70's for sitting guys in the bleachers with a pair of binoculars stealing signs? remember when the white sox themselves used their scoreboard to steal signs from the opposition in the 80's? how is what hinch or cora did any different?LOL, you really do seem to enjoy always being in a group of one, id.

I've never said stealing signs hasn't been around since kingdom come. I'm taking issue with your insistence that the Sox will or should hire Cora. This is NEVER going to happen and I don't care how many ways you try to spin it otherwise. But I will make you a deal. Assuming we're both still around till the year 2025 - I'll give you 5 whole years before you must finally concede that the Sox will NEVER hire Cora. If in those 5 years they do, I'll be more than happy to concede your sheer genius. 5 years, I think that's fair.it's clear to me that sign stealing isn't going to stop. remember the teams that were chastised in the 70's for sitting guys in the bleachers with a pair of binoculars stealing signs? remember when the white sox themselves used their scoreboard to steal signs from the opposition in the 80's? how is what hinch or cora did any different?
imo .... teams should be clever enough to convey to their players what they want them to do without just waving their hands and arms around. this IS the 21st century isn't it?
Our next manager hire will probably a player that was on the 2005 team. That's how we roll.
why do you talk so much and say so little? quote me exactly where i said the sox were going to sign cora? i stand behind 'should'; i never suggested "will".I've never said stealing signs hasn't been around since kingdom come.

Fair enough, I'll remove the "will" part of my of my original statement and just stick with the "should". So the Sox should NOT even contemplate whatsoever the thought of hiring Cora. Better?why do you talk so much and say so little? quote me exactly where i said the sox were going to sign cora? i stand behind 'should'; i never suggested "will".
at least it's truthful. still kinda stupid. after all, you say nothing with this post.Fair enough, I'll remove the "will" part of my of my original statement and just stick with the "should". So the Sox should NOT even contemplate whatsoever the thought of hiring Cora. Better?
that's my point! different means but the exact same goal. why punish anyone? figure out a new way to transmit signs.It wasn't just the sign stealing - it was the systematic, organized, digitized sign stealing that went all the way into upper management. IMO - that's not the same as the runner on 2nd base flashing signals to the batter.
Carl doesn’t believe dinosaurs existed and wanted to blow up Wrigley Field. Manager material if you ask me.Yeah, based on our history. That would seem about right.
I say go and get Carl Everett.
Kidding... kidding... lol

Carl is great. Sox legend.I'm just saying... it would be really colorful and fun. lol
Has a manager ever been thrown at? I bet he could make it happen.
