NO!!MARY!!!

Ok. MLB is talking expansion, not contraction, but do go on.

They had winning records, but if you’re determined to be angry don’t let me stop you.

Chicago would not have gotten an expansion team. Good lord.

Of course you would.

That isn’t true.

Calm the f*** down.

What? People are free to not renew, but why in the hell would you want them to shame anyone who does? It’s their damn choice how they spend their money and root for the team.

What’s left? Death. Prepare for it. Welcome it. Embrace it.

WHAT!!! How DARE you introduce common sense into this!!

Whatever.

To say nothing of what the weather would be like in April and September, with that wind whipping off the lake.

Not so sure about that. Look at Virginia McCaskey.

NO!!! You don’t understand, peasant!! I am tired of them and want them to leave, so they must go!! You want a new front office?? Well, who the hell cares what you or any other Sox fan wants?? It’s all about ME.

Why would Hahn resigning constitute “growing a pair”?

Well, win or lose I am determined to be miserable.

Embarrassing??? Puh-leeze. They lost to better teams. If you were embarrassed, that’s on you.

Be careful what you wish for.

I’m sorry, but what has Madrigal done since being traded? And funny you should praise Ed Short-because he also made deals that took the Sox down the tubes to a 56-106 record in 1970. Sox fans then were saying the same things fans are saying today about Hahn. But 20/20 hindsight viewed through rose-colored glasses is a great thing.

Best post of the thread.

I just honestly think they thought they would do much better last season and are trying to figure out what to do next.

You think current ownership is cheap? Ever read about Finley?

Yes. By 1979 the A’s were broken up and went 54-108.

OH. Brother. I guess a post like this predictable. There is no telling how history would have played out had the switch happened.

Cool beans

I just don’t understand why he would turn down a better deal financially.
