There's a old saying in baseball. Good teams win games, bad teams have meetings.

I WOULD DEFINITELY MAKE THE WHITE SOX GREAT AGAIN.!!!!

If I was the GM of this White Sox team we wouldn't be in the bottom in the standings, attendance and TV ratings. I would have been the talk of MLB and believe me we would be having some fun.

I agree with you 100%. The front office could have easily added some players during this rebuild.

Its not only UnAmerican to lose, its depressing. Last nights loss to the Tigers is just another loss in another lost season.

I read where it is expected that Machado will receive a contract of at least 10 year/$320 million dollars. If that is true does anybody think the White Sox would pay that amount?

I just finished the book by Ken Harrelson. Even tho it was 370 pages, it was a quick easy read. The only thing I didn't like about the book was Hawk making a bad comment about former sports Writer Bill Gleason. Older people remember Gleason as a life long South Sider and the only sportswriter in Chicago being a life long White Sox fan. Hawk claimed that Gleason hated JR and that Gleason was Anti-Semitic which was why he hated JR. I was acquainted with Gleason for years and believe me he wasn't Anti-Semitic. Yes Gleason did hate JR and Eddie Einhorn but it wasn't because they were Jewish. Gleason thought the two of them were goofs. For years there were reports that Hawk and former Sun Times writer Jay " Woman Beater" Mariotti were involved in a physical fight in the press box. Turns out it was just a verbal altercation between the two. I was disappointed to read that. I wish Hawk would have given Mariotti a few cracks. All in all, a fairly enjoyable book if you like Hawk.

Cano recently tested hot for drugs. He's not the first player and won't be the last player testing positive for drugs. I've always wondered why the owners don't cover themselves when it comes to players using dope. I would think that owners wouldn't want to be responsible for the remainder of the players contract after his suspension was up. The Mariners will still owe Cano some serious money when his suspension is over. I'm surprised that the owners don't have some type of clause in their contracts that they're not responsible for the rest of the contract if the player gets suspended for drugs.

If Hahn had been working as a GM for another team he would have been gone by now. This will be his 6th year as GM and the team hasn't had one winning season. I will say this much for him, he has evidently won the heart of JR.

There is a very interesting column in todays Sun Times by Rick Morrissey about this White Sox season.

Interesting post. Keep in mind that last month Forbes said the White Sox franchise is valued at 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS.(14th in MLB) They also said the White Sox bring in $260 million dollars a year. The team payroll this year is $60 million dollars. In other words this team is making some serious money.

1) Look at the bright side. You will see Moncada in one of baseballs most beautiful parks. 2) The owner/management team threw up the white flag on this season before it even started. The team has holes but the biggest holes are on the pitching staff. The starters and bullpen simply can't get anybody out. The 1927 Yankees lineup couldn't win with this White Sox pitching staff

The team would have won at least 90 wins, maybe 95 wins. From there the team would have gone on to glory in the playoffs and World Series.

I think the 2018 White Sox would have been better with Arrieta, Chatwood, Jennings Robertson, and Moustakas. Alot better.

Sox Win!, Sox Win!, Holy Cow, Sox Win!!!!!!!

This has already started. Opening Day wasn't close to being soldout. (Yeah it was cold and miserable that day, but still Opening day tickets are usally soldout way in advance of the game.) Most of the games I've been to since Opening Day have had sparse crowds. Even tho they're announcing tickets sold the actual in house attendance has been less than 2,000 fans at these games. One of the games I was at there were more vendors and ushers than actual fans. I realize that attendance isn't as important as it use to be but still the small crowds have to be hurting the organization money wise to some degree.

1) Robertson and Jennings would still be on the team. 2) Shields would have never been on this team. 3) Arrieta accepted a 3 year contract with the Phillies with a 2 year TEAM OPTION. If he would have accepted the same deal here, he would be wearing a White Sox uniform. 4) Mike Moustakas signed a contract for $5 million dollars with a option for a second year. I would have signed him for 3 years. 5) Soria would not be on this team. 6) I would have tried to acquire another starting pitcher, maybe Chatwood. Due to the fact the first place team in our division (the Indians) has a losing record, I think the changes I would have made this team would be in contention. My objective would be to try and get the team in the Playoffs. Once you're in the Playoffs anything can happen. It appears to me as if this organization and Hahn held up the white flag before the season even started. I don't believe in tear downs and holding up a white flag. I want to win.

If I had been the GM this pitching staff would not have been this bad.

I read today where the 2018 White Sox have a pitching ERA of 5.25 which is the second highest ERA in franchise history. The 1934 White Sox had a ERA of 5.41. I don't doubt for a minute that this pitching staff could easily become the worst staff by the end of the season. They simply can't get anybody out. I can't help but wonder what is the team going to do about the pitching staff in 2019?. I will assume that Kopech will be on the team in 2019. There doesn't appear to be anybody at Charlotte who can help the team besides Kopech. What are they going to do this off season? Are they going to sign some free agents who can pitch? Or are they going to keep these same pitchers who are here now?

My interview with JR. I would of answered any question he asked me. And believe me if he wanted a honest answer about anything, I'm the guy. I've always thought my strong point when it comes to MLB is I'm able to evaluate talent. I think I'm good at it. Frankly I think Hahn is bad at it. This present White Sox team would be a lot different today if I was running the show, even with this so called rebuild. You would have more talent on this team now and believe me I wouldn't break the bank doing it . You could of easily had a competitive team this year even with the rebuild. I actually had the chance to work for the White Sox years ago and I couldn't do it . I had other concerns at the time. I've always regretted not working for them. I would like to do it now but it looks like that's not going to happen.

I was never more serious in my life. All I wanted was a interview. I would have taken my chances. If JR didn't think I was qualified, fine. I would have given him the most memorable interview of his life. Amongst other things I would have told him just give me 2 years as GM. If I couldn't turn this mess around I would simply leave. He wouldn't even have to pay me that much. I'm semi wealthy and I don't need alot of money. I didn't get a response from JR and unfortunately Hahn was rehired.

Last year I thought Hahn was not going to be rehired. I wrote JR a letter asking him if I can be interviewed for the White Sox GM job. Turns out Hahn was rehired and I didn't get a response from JR to my letter. Looks like Hahn is going to be the GM as long as JR owns the team. In 2001 JR hired Roland Hemond to assist Ken Williams. I'm going to write JR another letter and ask him if he would bring back Hemond again to assist Hahn. Roland Hemond is 88 years old and has forgotten more about baseball than Hahn will ever know. Perhaps Hemond will help him right this ship. What harm would it do to bring Hemond back? Then again Hahn might be offended by Hemond being hired and he'll resign.

I must correct myself. This is the worse WHITE SOX pitching staff I have seen in my lifetime.

I can always hope JR sells the team. As of this morning the White Sox now have the worse record in MLB. They have the worse pitching staff I have ever seen in my lifetime. They probably have ONE good pitcher on the team who anybody would want (Lopez). This is going to be a historically bad team with no end in sight. I wish I felt differently about this situation but I don't. I regret renewing my season ticket package this year. But you have to have hope in everything you do, I hope JR sells the team.

Being historically bad is just plain bad as far as I'm concerned. We need new ownership/management. I have a slogan they can use. We Will Make The White Sox Great Again!.
