by comparison. With the help of Thompson and of a stopped clock in Springfield, Reinsdorf was able to use the "threat" of moving to a mausoleum located miles from the TB population center to get a new stadium once. I don't know if he's trying for some sort of a repeat or if he just doesn't care anymore, but his toxicity knows no bounds.

Sox are currently on their way to their first consecutive 100 loss seasons EVER in their 124 year history. This could be their 3d 100 loss season since 2018--they had 3 such seasons from 1901-2017. They're well on their way to having 2 winning, 9 losing, and 1 .500 season in last 12 years. Their 1968-80 run (2 winning, 10 losing, 1 .500 season--only one 100 loss season) was a franchise low point. They're creating another low point now.

Why would Nashville WANT to pony up hundreds of millions to build a stadium for a team w/ such a record? Outside on the Nashville SMSA, who would care about such a team? There's a franchise 250 mi away that has had a geographically broad fan base since 1966 and that has been a perennial contender since 1991.

I hated him for years for many reasons, but he's beyond the pale now.
