Hopefully JR is having lunch in hell with Bill Wirtz sooner than later. Two assholes who fucked over the city for greed.

Absolutely zero indication any outside interviews were completed, and based on the statement made in the original release, hiring Getz was the plan all along.
My assumption, just based on history and the evidence we have to go off of...Jerry was basically forced to fire Rick and Kenny based on this season, but in conducting the "internal interviews" they had, Rick and Kenny gave a strong endorsement to Getz, and Jerry just wants to continue with a familiar face that will follow mandates set from the top.
Another day in White Sox land.

He is 87. This will correct itself sooner than later. He might not want to sell. But also he isn't immortal. I can wait this out.

This whole situation is really odd. The old Comiskey Park had to be replaced. It was falling apart. There is nothing wrong with the present park. It is not falling down. There is no reason to leave it, none. You would think at 87 years old JR would not concern himself with a new stadium. I do know that if JR wants a new stadium and doesn't get one he definitely has a backup plan. He would move the team out of state if he received an offer from some other city who provided him with a stadium.
The owners of the park would want a long term lease in 6 years. So that would lock them into a property for what 20 years. Do you think that the park is going to be great when the park is 50 years old.

Why bother, though? Just release him and call it a day.
Sir you are talking about my money. We dont give away my money. We have prospects in the minors we could add as a sweetener to move this contract. Our new GM Getz hasnt beent through the training part about bundling our international trading dollars onto it as well.

The timing was because season ticket renewals went out this week. Reinsdorf figured he'd lose money if he didn't make a move. This was strickly a business decision.
Of course it was. Its always about the dollars with this owner.

Are we sure the Sox are making the kid change stuff or might the kid be experimenting with things of his own volition?
The kid is new to pro ball. I highly doubt he is all of a sudden changing things. They did something similar when they drafted Fulmer as well. The sox have a history of trying to jack with a guys mechanics.

Hey, better than the other way around. There is a chance -- no matter how slim -- that Getz may be a decent GM. We already know Dayton Moore suuuuuuuucks.
Zero chance that Getz is decent. This is horrible.

This is a depressing depressing interview with Bob Nightengale. Chris Getz with Dayton Moore reporting to him. Chris Getz is the single decision maker.

On the podcast last night, they said Tony didn’t bother trying to manage the clubhouse and just let them do whatever they wanted
Didnt he trade away Dansby Swanson for one of the Duncan boys. He didnt do a good job at the top of an organization. He scouting our minor leagues is scary. I can see it now. That Colson guy is too tall to be a SS, you should trade him for X pitcher that my guy Dave Duncan said is a sure fired cant miss stud.

Hopefully the new front office won't ask him to change his scouting grades on recent draft picks to avoid embarrassment the way the last front office asked their scouts to do.
I am curious on who was going to be our first pick if Hahn didnt get involved.
-
On the score they are saying that TLR was in Jerrys ear on this and that is why they were fired. That Tony is currently scouting our minor leagues ( probably to see who he wants to keep or trade away ). If Tony is the puppet in the back, we are screwed.

I can't wait for Jerry to just go far, far away from this org
The man is poison plain and simple. The worst sports owner in Chicago history. Now we are just counting out the days when he either sells the team or takes his dirt nap. Get fucked JR.

Ozzie predicts Jim Thome as next Sox GM
Great. Wake me up when the owner of this clown show is gone.

Can we all agree that Dayton Moore as President of Baseball Ops, Chris Getz as GM, and Buddy Bell as manager is the ultimate nightmare scenario?
Why are we as an organization in love with the Royals. They have been the toliet of the division except for what 2 years.

The most White Sox thing will be for us to hire outside the organization only for Chris Getz to go on to become one of MLB's great general managers for some other franchise.
Not worried about that. We have done the internal hires before. It didn't work out.

Yep, couple of notes:
- KW wanted to trade Burger, not Rick
- KW called McGuffey to talk s%*# before that big Guardians series last year, acting like a total jerk
- KW and Hahn didn’t work well together
- Yoan was destroyed during the podcast by Chuck and Guff
What a piece of crap KW was. f*** that guy.

If Hahn is out, Getz probably gets the next shot. They are not going outside the organization to find talent. The only other thing is TLR or Buddy Bell would come in to help the new GM figure things. out. The only change that is going to truly impact the team is when Jerry is no longer the owner. The team is a piggy bank for him and his investors. When he is gone that is when the team will be able to sold.

The most important thing is to get Hahn/Haber out of the building. Literally everything will change when those idiots are gone.
How about the idiot above Hahn and his nepotism hire of a son running around in player development.

Internal Interviews
Kenny "JR, I could of done a better job than this Rick guy. There are plenty of former Indians or players I coveted in the 2010's that are still bouncing around. We can reload with that and make a run. And if we need a player we have this new farm system to trade away from. I can get some major leaguers for these guys. Put me back in charge"
TLR "Jerry, huh. Meh, You need to get more ex-cardinals on the payroll. If we picked up a certain ex-cardinal manager instead of this KC guy we win the division. My analytics guy and vet says we can do better with the players we have. He did the computations on his calculator"
Getz "Lets get more Royals players. We can do this on a cheaper payroll and hopefully we can get it right for once"

This isn't a playground full of second graders out on recess. This is professional sports. It's an absurdly bad look not to retaliate in a situation where reactions are read as indicators of pride, culture, cohesiveness, and brotherhood.
No manager is going to punish his guys for suspensions they may receive while sticking up for their teammates. Outside of, apparently, Pedro Grifol, most managers would applaud such a reaction.
And TA didn't start that s%*#, Ramirez's soft ass started it. TA didn't stand over him long enough for Jose to get in his feels about it. Then he poked his finger right in TA's grill. It's game on at that point.
I'm not a violent person and don't condone violence or fighting, in general. Sports are different...teammates are closer to family. Again, brotherhood. If my real-life brother were involved in a brawl, I'm going to be right there beside him serving pain to whomever I can. I'd do the same for a teammate.
I dont understand this. Great so if your brother in law got into a fight and the fight was 1 on 1 and he lost you would jump in with friends to finish it. That seems about right. Some of us played baseball above the little league level. My college teammates are some of my best friends to this day. My brothers. Some of which played in the minors. I had 3 stand up in my wedding. One of which is my sons godfather. We must of missed the memo on if a one on one fight goes bad to attack in a group to finish it. Or that it was like tag team wrestling and we were allowed to sub in. During any bench clearing fights the entire point of being out there was to prevent exactly what you are talking about. To prevent people from ganging up or to the point taking cheap shots. The players separated the individuals involved and then it settled. Now granted someone was more likely to get a ball in the ribs the day after. But for the most part it cleared up. At no point was it like some sort of 1950s scene where we had a multiplayer brawl on the field, attacking people in groups. The struggle, the long practices, the many years playing together, and the competition that is what breeds the brotherhood. Not because the infield could hold down the offending guy while the first baseman worked him over.
Maybe they can fight like its anchorman.

Kopech had Ramirez wrapped up. Instead of handling business, he tried to gingerly separate he and TA, which led to TA getting knocked out. Kopech had a responsibility there and failed.
So what exactly was handling business.

I love how the Hamburg Athletic Club contingent of Sox fans fall all over themselves to roast TA, regardless of what he does.
I don't care that he got into a fight. Its stupid but whatever. But when you put your hands up and start to take swings sometimes they swing back. The entire point of everyone going out there is to help to make sure that your player is protected and no one is cheap shotting them. I guess the Meathead Couch Potato Tough guy contingent of Sox fans wanted 4 players to hold down Ramirez while TA got to throw flying elbows until he was all tuckered out. This is a baseball game. A fight happened. The fight was between two combatants. who both squared up and had equal ability to strike and to win. Fighting is not a group sport. Thank you for my Ted Talk.

Eat a dick JR. He was a corpse and sucked at his job. Just like you suck as an owner.
