If this was posed as a hypothetical it was done very poorly. I dont think it was, though.

You could easily do this , and you start dozens of threads in the Sox section every season.

You? Obsessed?

Ha ha ha. Yes.

I don't waste my time with the Cubs.

To have built World Series champions in Boston and the North side of Chicago, for the 2 teams that had/ have gone longest in each league without winning a title....HOF for sure. The fact that he has done his job in very different fashions in the 2 cities, as a result of very different spending constraints in Chicago (initially) makes it even more impressive. I didn't enjoy the losing in the first few seasons, but understood it was a necessary element. To see 40% of the starting rotation traded away 2 years in a row at the trade deadline wasn't fun either. But having guys like Arrieta, Rondon, Ramirez, Grimm and Strop in place as a result of those deals, makes it all worthwhile. Now we can look back on the guys traded away (Dempster, Garza, Feldman and Maholm) knowing none of them would probably be able to earn a spot on the team today if they tried. Theo has not been perfect (Edwin Jackson is a glaring mistake), but he's been damn good.

Sox fan here, or actually ex sox fan. When Theo Epstein was available, Ricketts went out and got him. When Joe Maddon became available, Epstein fired Renteria and got Maddon.
Meanwhile Reinsdorf utilizes cronyism as his chief method of operating sports franchises, and in doing so shits on the fans of the franchises he owns. I'm sick of him and his mo. Loyalty to your country, your family, and friends. But I watch sports for entertainment, and that means winning, and that is not going to happen so long as Reinsdorf uses the Sox to surround himself with ass kissers, and that will never change. Go Cubs, goodbye Sox.

Reinsdorf never wins...except that year he did. Good riddance.
