He might have tried to do so but ownership would have said no without this. This closes the loop to make that firing “classic white Sox”. Everyone was surprised at RR because the white Sox never remove managers for cause. Turns out it wasn’t for cause, it was to get another of JRs buddies around. So White Sox.

bmags Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 1 minute ago, ChiHawks10 said: Now... I'm not gonna lose my shit yet. I think he's better than either of Ricky or Ventura. I think he has still be involved in baseball, though not on the field, so he isn't completely unaware of the evolution of the game. It's not like he was sitting around gardening and riding his lawnmower the past 10 years. I don't like it. I'm not a fan of the hire. I'll still reserve judgement, and wait to see what happens with the team. All this b****ing will be moot if he wins a couple WS here. That said... lots of people angry about TLR, because the Sox didn't hire a cheater in Hinch? So bizarre. I'm not sure he's allowed to ride a lawnmower anymore.

Which would 100% confirm that Jerry trumped the interview process and basically make Hahn look like a total asshole 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 You're executive of the year and you're not allowed to even pick your manager lol what a disgrace. If it wasn't for the lifetime security, Hahn would be gone by now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SexiAlexei Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Us fans put up with all of the garbage of rebuilding, only to get this far and then have this be the hire? I feel like this team was building strong momentum and then they kick us in the nuts with this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about everyone in baseball was cheating back in the 90's with steroids... I don't care if he's an asshole, as long as the Sox play for him, and win under him, and they win a couple WS. Quenneville was a giant asshole, also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
