I HOPE THEY GET HOTTER THAN s***!

JB SHuck 5th just cracks me up. I bet La Roche, if he's watching, is laughing as well.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) Don't let the salesman know that. When I bought my Focus back in 2001, I made my best offer and when they wouldn't meet it I walked away. About a week later they called me up on the phone and asked if I was still interested. I said yes, but only for the price I offered. They told me to come in, and met my price. Good luck! I'm often on the other side of the equation and my motto is "you never lose money making a sale". If nothing else you clear inventory for a more profitable one. I don't deal in huge investments like cars just computers but the principle is certainly the same. If you have a hard figure in mind there's no harm in being patient and seeing if the dealer can work with you.

it's a contagion!

hopefully the first of over 300 for his career as a Sox. God speed young man. We need you.

christ how desperate is Frank for money? Sounds like a book...I won't be buying.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) It's truly amazing how awful Hahn's free agent signings were it's more amazing how poor the farm system is.

holy f*** he missed that fastball but a good foot.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 07:27 PM) That first inning reminded me why I quit watching. I'll watch til Anderson hits. f*** this s*** team. yea exactly, see my post above yours.

glad I tuned into for this one!

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 04:16 PM) I think they are truly interested in seeing how the funky delivery translates to the MLB. It wouldn't be Fulmer as they don't want to take a chance of decreasing his chances of success if he's not ready. lol. I also think they are desperate and have nobody better. Where are all the Don Cooper projects? Where are all the new Matt Thornton's or Sergio Santos? Not as easy to put together a staff when your pitching coach is no longer finding any gems and instead is whiffing on guys like Albers, Latos, etc.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) I think the evidence would be that do you truly believe that a person so coveted by so many organizations would turn down all of those other positions to take one where he has no say or power? If they answer is yes, I don't want him as GM. If it's no, then they work TOGETHER. The decisions are mutual and they rise or fall TOGETHEr. no other sports team does that. This isn't a corporation there's no "shares" there's no board of directors. It's a clear chain of command industry. There's a reason nobody else does it and that is because it never ever works. Funnily enough the Bulls are SETUP THE SAME WAY. Gee, could it be that JR is just old and either doesn't care or doesn't have all his faculties in order anymore? Nobody ever gets fired in the Sox org other than the guys a rung below the top -- some scouts, maybe a bench coach or hitting coach -- never the VP, the GM, the Manager.

it's so obvious that KW is still running things, all these moves scream "KW dumpster dives". Very disheartening.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) From the opening day roster, John Danks, Jerry Sands, and now Mat Latos are off of the 25 man roster. JB Shuck was already sent down once. My guess from playing patterns is that Jimmy Rollins is next, unless there is a trade that changes the roster differently. If they DFA a guy the manager was batting 6th against a RHP just the other day then I will just laugh, because it's too depressing to think about otherwise. There is a disconnect the size of the grand canyon on this management team.

Lemme guess, the guy behind the scenes making all these recs on guys he can fix -- Don Cooper -- isn't even being considered for replacement. This is also the guy telling RV to keep running about Matt Albers. NEW f***ING BLOOD.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) Honestly if would like to see what Hahn can do with some good organization. Reinsdorf has his hand in too much and Kenny is always right there yep.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) I've supported Hahn because he seems like a smart, good person. But the results speak for themselves. if they fire hahn and leave KW and RV in place I'm taking a long break from Sox baseball.

move the team to Montreal.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) Rollins hitting 6th vs a righty I cannot wait until the Sox come to Seattle I'm going to get a seat right behind the dugout and heckle the s*** out of RV.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:51 PM) Blame the mental misget SS who booted two plays in one inning. it happens to tyler it's a problem with tyler, happens over and over and over again? it's a problem with the front office and specifically the manager. No leadership on this team because RV has no leadership ability. Team wallows in its self pity, we've seen this time and time again.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:36 PM) This is, absolutely, 100%, my least favorite White Sox team I've watched since I became a fan. It's one thing to downright suck like they have the past few years because they simply didn't have the talent, but this team is totally different. They showed they had to the potential to win and be successful early in the year, but they still managed to choke away a SIX, SEVEN, AND EIGHT game lead over the 3 other divisional teams. It's ridiculously sad, pathetic, and embarrassing. I'm at my wits end watching this garbage. the constant denominator is RV. I won't bother with this team until he's gone. There's no leadership, the players change, good players are brought in even, and yet in clutch moments or even mundane day to day moments they don't come through often. In addition the poor tactical decisions by RV hinder their odds in any given game.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 05:46 PM) And I swear it was like Hahn was trying to put together as horrible of a bottom of the roster as he possibly could. Way too many completely useless players. everything about Shuck and Sands screams "KW". I'm more convinced then ever he's the man behind the curtain pulling the strings.

pitching is the least of this team's problems but apparently management doesn't agree.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 05:11 PM) Sale had a good game again. Problem is a trash pitcher Pelfry shut down our putrid miserable, worthless, laughable offense. JR needs to have an outburst like the Padres owner did. If not him then somebody!!!!!!!!!!! sure did the padres a lot of good!

why can't baseball ever be fun as a Sox fan?
