This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Reinsdorf's final act is making Swarbrick look tolerable... by Scoop80

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.
