87 years old and knows he'll never get to the promised land before he croaks... There's merit in your post. Time for him and the rest of us to face reality. And he did buy land on the west side recently. And Nashville is a great town. Music, barbecue, weather. Great place to live and work. Wouldn't blame him if he did, but then he has to unload the Bulls too.

Saturday Night in Denver Game Thread

I remember some shots to RF in previous seasons. Few and far between now. -
Saturday Night in Denver Game Thread
Stinky Stanky replied to wegner's topic in 2023 Season in Review
Wunderkind in college with the bat until our system got hold of him. -
Almost forgot Stone's usual blather about the run they scored in the 9th off Alzolay being due to using a closer in a non-save situation because the adrenalin doesn't kick in in a one run game with the playoffs on the line. Say this drivel before it happens, Steve, instead of waiting until after and you might have a little more believability. You're getting tiresome.

Jeff Loria goes after Mark Buehrle, Jeter, others
Stinky Stanky replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Wish this was true but unprovoked attacks occur. Nature of the beast. Centuries of breeding. Get a Rottie. All they’ll do is lick you into a happy submission. -

True, until they rip your face off for no reason at all. Or maybe they won’t, good for you. -
$75M = One of the worst White Sox LF Seasons
Stinky Stanky replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Singles hitting LF, big Sox prospect, wound up with the Cubs after staying on Square One here. Wasn't much better there. Like Andrew, thus the comparison. -

Stinky Stanky replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I'm pretty sure there have been cash calls over the years, but I don't know about a payout. Nor do I know if there's a market for the shares. You'd be the one to know an insider. When the Big Moment comes, they'll all have done very well, for certain. But that doesn't buy a hot dog and a root beer at Portillo's for lunch tomorrow.. -

Andrew isn't a complete pile of anything. He's at least as good as Ryan Sweeney, who made $8M in his entire career. Seriously, have the shareholders ever got a payout? I don't know that they have. 😄 -
8/15 Game Thread: White Sox @ Cubs 7:05CT
Stinky Stanky replied to Bob Sacamano's topic in 2023 Season in Review
Overestimated his own talent, did Hahn. It's not adjusted for inflation, of course, but Ryan Sweeney, with virtually the same stats, made $8M in his whole career. We're giving Andrew $17MX5. If JR is as smart and thrifty as we think, how can he not be furious? -
8/13 White Sox vs Brewers, 1:10 PM CT

Gives us a clue as to why he left Scholtens in too long yesterday. -
Great bullpens make great managers. The opposite is also true.

Dodgers have completely overhauled Lynn pitch mix

Graph shows less sliders, not more. -

That's right to the point. A mediocre coach looks good in comparison to everyone else. Good thread too, with a lot of facts to support the posts. "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." -
Sox vs. Greasy Gabagools 8/9 7:10PM
Stinky Stanky replied to DoUEvenShift's topic in 2023 Season in Review
Aggressive is a nice description for stealing third with two outs. It used to be called a dumbass play. Still is as far as I'm concerned. Only purpose it served tonight was to pad stats. And injure Luis, of course. -
Stage 4 is less dire with blood or lymphatic cancers than with other kinds. Still not a good thing, obviously.
-
Good catch. His stuff resembled Graveman’s, maybe a tick slower but with better control. Not gonna win you a pennant but okay for the here and now.

On Opening Day our team was supposed to win the division. So Hahn was OK then and we were all OK with him. When was Jerry supposed to whack him? At the time of the 10 game losing streak? According to the bloodthirsty element around here that would have been fine. How many teams whack a GM midseason? If he isn't gone after game 162, then you guys have a case. My advice to those with an itchy trigger finger: Don't take a management job anywhere near where I work.

I can see their thought process. Long-term condition that seemed stable over time, big contract, what could go wrong? Worth the risk? In hindsight, never should have signed him.

I wouldn't blame the Sox for messing up something which has been an issue for a long time. Liam was getting by walking a tightrope. If he pitches again, and I'm not sure that he will, it won't be for the Sox. Let's revisit in a year or so, more likely start of the 2025 season. Without a stem cell transplant, which he didn't have, the lymphoma is still lurking as well. Even with one, for that matter.
