I'm bitter as hell. I've been a fan since I was 6 in 1977. Little did I know what that would entail at the time. Regardless, this isn't a PR disaster. The franchise is already a laughing stock, I'm not sure what could possibly be a disaster at this point. If the boat is already sunk, what worse can happen?

I'm just hoping JR had a revelation in the night and is going to fire KW & crew and let the new person handle the rebuild.

It will be interesting to see who Don Cooper picks as manager.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) Draft position well, seems like they might try to sign a FA in the offseason, so I hope they get a protected pick!

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 07:52 PM) No one will be fooled that the team is a josh reddick away from competing. oh, the pollyannas will be optimistic and the malcontents will be complaining just like always. same story every year.

Jim Bowden calls the White Sox "flat out losers." http://sportsmockery.com/2016/08/espn-anal...ox-flat-losers/ the video is toward the bottom.

JR doesn't want the team to suck too badly since the TV contract will be negotiated in a year or two.

the people that are still watching Sox games will always be watching them....hopeless cases.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) I'd like to just know this simple question. I'm not even expecting any examples of trades or FA signings, just an overall idea. How does this team improve for 2017? Enough not to be mired in mediocrity and making a run worthwhile They can find a couple broken down vets and a new manager and make a run at 87 wins. And then blame the fans for not coming out to see a "playoff contender." BAD FANS!

you have 5-6 decent ballplayers and 10 or so teams clamoring for the playoffs and you can't find a match? that means you're not trying to find a match.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 06:24 PM) I read somewhere he and Abreu don't like each other. Make it happen, Kenny This.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 04:21 PM) Based on what evidence? Best I can tell, the new scouting director blows smoke up a few strategic behinds and now they are considered much better.

Per Hahn, we are no longer "mired in mediocrity," we are now "middle of the pack." must have hired a PR firm.

I don't think I've ever been so dumbfounded as to what this team is doing.

QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) We have zero idea how much time and effort has been put into the movement of Sale from the front office. we have zero idea of anything at all, so might as well shut down Soxtalk until we do.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 10:45 AM) Meanwhile, I hope we're working on trades for Shields/Gonzalez/Robertson/Frazier/Melky No s***!! I'm not gonna complain if Sale/Q are traded or not, but if nothing else is done, I will be irritated to say the least.

If $30mil were "really" the holdup, White Sox couldn't throw in $15mil?

why does Sanchez keep getting chances but not Leury Garcia? I know Garcia has been horrible in his MLB opportunities, but he's killing it in AAA unlike Sanchez.

It's OK FT35. I trust you.

The Front Office Defending Crew likes to take various opinions from different people and then claim they have discovered inconsistencies.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 09:28 AM) Lol, how many times you gonna say the same thing over again? probably until he's proven wrong.

I can't judge the guy since we are not privy to all that goes on behind closed doors, but my hunch is that Hahn hasn't a clue how to scout/evaluate talent. Minor problem.

again. sorry. fake heyman got me.

yeah I fell for a fake account. sorry.

sorry guys
