Well crap. #statistics

2008 was a great memory. If I had requested PTO a half day sooner, I would have been at the Saturday game in Tampa. My friend had an extra ticket that he said was saved for me (for free) if I could get down there. The only catch was that I was in Nagoya at the time. By the time my PTO was approved, the flights I was hoping for had shot up in price.

We're on pace for a series split after 1 full inning. #statistics

I was hoping that it would be a President of Baseball Ops who would then have the autonomy to hire (or not hire) a GM and construct the front office however they see fit.

AJ hit the nail on the head. we “hit” on the high end guys… and by “hit,” I mean they turned into mostly-at-least-average big leaguers. when’s the last time we took a late round pick and turned him into something?

Sure there are bad ways to apply things like dress codes, but if it's a part of getting the team to buy into a greater culture (not as a way to force submission), it's something that has been used a long time. In the case of the Yankees, in not sure if it is a Steinbrenner- initiated rule or not, but i know for a fact that Steinbrenner was pretty heavily influenced by his military school education, which probably didn't get in the way of instituting or reinforcing the facial hair policy.

It’s one part if you have a wholistic philosophy that any dress code is congruent with. Not saying i agree or that it works - just stating that these are the reasons that people put these types of dress codes and rules into place.

It’s a part of culture. appearance is one manifestation of culture.

Yeah, forgot that for a hot second.

I view it as a “Hahn sucked, but let’s not let that cloud the fact that the rest of the organization sucks just as bad.”

Put the Sox in any other division and they have 90+losses already easily.

Hahn was at least paper-qualified to be hired as a GM.

Those words are the most relatable words that sum up my feelings for this organization in its entirety.

The leadership position JR needs to fill MUST be filled by someone with more credibility than JR in order to be successful. JR will make sure that never happens.

Until a ballpark food item reports it, I won't believe it.

How much do you wanna bet TLR will be involved somehow now?

Really shocked KW went, too... unless he was retiring anyway.

Somehow this didn't age well, thankfully

I'm wondering if this has been in the works for awhile now, but they decided that public opinion can't be any worse... so why the f*** not?

or to have the season ticket owners be doing the interviews.

Can we trick Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny into thinking the Sox are a lower-tier American baseball team?

Dammit, I can’t get the image thing working on iphone…. I fixed it

Live shot of the meeting

To a point. There is value in helping a vet rebuild value for a half a season and flipping him for a prospect, especially if you don't have viable long term solutions already
