NCsoxfan

Not that anyone cares that a single fan is done with the White Sox but I am. A kid who sat in the upper deck in old comiskey wondering if Ivan Calderon could hit one up there. A kid who got to leave grade school early to see the first game at new comiskey! Who cherished his big hurt autographed card/ball he got at Sox fest. A kid who got to play on the field with other little leaguers! Who was bummed when the blue jays knocked them out of the playoffs. Who sat in the RF bleachers during the all star when Loaiza started. A college student who couldn’t watch the games but frustratingly followed them get beat by Minnesota late in the year in the early 2000s. Young adult who cherished my favorite team of all time, the 05 white Sox win the WS! An adult who emailed Rick Hahn before the “mired in mediocrity” press conference saying they were mired in mediocrity (coincidence?). An adult who has followed along the last decade but has lost interest due to Jerry’s incompetence and apathy. Again nobody cares when a single fan loses interest for good, but sayonara! You all are fun fans who are devoted and knowledgeable. I just can’t do it.

I can’t see any path to us becoming a title contending team in the foreseeable future. We’re off in basically every area (current team, farm system, scouting, analytics, GM, owner resources, etc). We’re looking at a decade of .450-.500 ball

Exactly. That’s why I listed three players from 05 to show you can’t just state a group of three players is “impossible to build around”. The issue is whether you can build something well rounded.

I didn’t think Konerko, Rowand, and Iguchi were enough at the time…

Probably the right decision but this franchise has a history of buying high and selling low. The cycle continue.

Adios guys….I need a long term break from this organization

What a joke

It’s been a shitty family run business the entire time. Michael Jordan and 2005 just provided diversions.

The president should pick the GM. GM shouldn’t be named first.

For whatever reason he came to mind today. Any thoughts on why he didn’t pan out?

Nobody is allowed to use the “shots fired” meme in the game thread

Like I said earlier, only coaches/players/GMs with legendary careers should be giving statements. For everyone else go ride off into the sunset and be glad you made as much money as you did to suck so badly.

Also it’s about time they declared Sox park a crime scene

Fire this team and front office and organization into the sun.

I bet there’s not a ton of players who have hit 34 HR with only 70 something RBIs

Even if Getz is semi competent, would he even have the resources to compete in the year 2023? It sounds like our analytics and other resources are so behind the times.

Law’s piece this morning was beautiful. Just a complete obliteration of the front office.

yeah don’t get me wrong, Hahn stunk and deserved to be fired. But when you try to resign and aren’t allowed, it’s pretty shitty way to do business. Hahn can suck and JR treated him poorly. It’s not right to hold someone hostage when they want to take accountability and resign.

Dang, I feel bad for Hahn after reading some of these articles. He was in a really shitty position. No win working for KW and Jerry. Sheesh.

I think only legends should do farewell messages.

I go to a lot of Durham Bulls games living right here. Wouldn’t be too hard to switch fandom. Although I am still a Blackhawks fan even with the Hurricanes a stones throw away.

Reinsdorf couldn’t be this stupid, could he? It’s almost laughable to suggest Getz let alone hire him after this debacle.

Click bait

The way large language models work is you could put in every single signing, trade, draft pick from successful and non successful franchises and create algorithms based on what’s worked and what hasn’t. Not saying you do it, but I’d bet you it would’ve outperformed Hahn.

What could they possibly point to in Getz? No credible organization would hire him as GM.
