    He was such an obvious choice it was almost comical.  Til I die I'll never understand how he was not the hire.  (I mean I understand, of course, but I can't believe it.)

     

    As painful as it is watching that guy walk to the mound, it hurts even more knowing the Sox continue to screw up managerial hires.

    I am convinced a bye is not an advantage in baseball like it would be in football.  You can’t be off for a week and pick up where you left off in baseball.

    It definitely feels this way, but I have no idea how this can be changed. Maybe starting the divisional round on Friday instead of Saturday? Maybe making it a best of 7 series instead of best of 5? They'll never drop to 4 teams in each league like they used to, so maybe go up to 8 teams (which I hate) but for the 7 and 8 seeds, they need to win 2 games before the 1 or 2 seeds win 1 game. I don't know, all these ideas seems stupid, but I can see making a case to move the round up 1 day, but the top seeds would still have 4 days in a row off.

    In my perfect world there'd be no divisions and 6 make the postseason. Season ends on a Sunday and on Tuesday there'd a 1 game playoff between 3/6 and 4/5. Divisional round starts on Wednesday. Obviously know this isn't happening lol.

    Awful deal the moment it was announced. Hahn bid against himself, similar to Ryan Pace when he did that draft day deal. No one was going to give Benintendi that. The team had so many glaring holes too and he blew it all in one spot for someone you could've paid league minimum to do the same job for. If you liked the deal, it's only because you liked the name. 

    Don't get me wrong, Andrew could be a serviceable player, but you don't give the richest contract in your team's history to a serviceable player when they already count enough pennies as it is.

     

    I like Andrew, but he's a complimentary player. If 2B and RF were resolved, he'd be a fine LF option batting 7th in our lineup or something. But being the premiere off season acquisition is beyond ridiculous. He's not the reason this team is a disaster, just a product of how terrible the team is constructed.

    I never want Cleveland to win the division.  I don’t like them.  I know others on this board feel that way about Minny, fair enough. If Detroit is ever good again in my lifetime, I can see their fans getting super obnoxious, but my number 1 Sox rival is the Guards.

    I hate Minnesota with a passion and it's not even close to other division rivals. In late September 2008, I went to the Metrodome and saw the White Sox blow a 6-0 lead only to lose in extra innings. Myself decked out in White Sox gear, I had fans spitting on me, knocking my hat off, shoving me, etc. They thought they won the division with just 1 series to go against Kansas City. Obviously that didn't happen because the White Sox won Game 163. But long story short, the Minnesota Twins are my most hated franchise in all of sports.
