If Rick Hahn wants to work in baseball, someone will hire him soon enough. Baseball is too incestual in it's hiring practices for someone not to take a chance on him at some point.

And if he didn't like things, he could have left. He waited around to take a promotion when he was a huge star candidate around baseball. He turned down interviews with St Louis and The Mets IIRC at that point in time. He also could have quit at any time after and looked elsewhere. This isn't a Scientologist 1 billion year contract we are talking about here.

It's the ultimate payback to the Orioles for going cheap.

Nah. At some point you know what you sign up for and you co-sign to it.

Yes, because you listen to instruction so well.

This can't be liked enough.

"But it's ok because Chris is different in some unspecified way."

Also a great point.

And again, we have gotten a ton of empty platitudes of how things are changing, and things are going to change, but no one ever seems to ask the follow question as to how. These guys all know the Sox historic weaknesses and never ask the next question about exactly how are they going to do something different or better here in this specific situation.

So the players are too dumb to realize this? Because they sure seem to think so.

That he is going to do what Jerry wants first, and then try to do what he can with the rest of it. You can almost see the Jerry philosophy in who he is trading for.

Done. Let's go. Burn this s%*# to the ground.

I really hope the idea that the Sox already have essentially been sold to the Hodson group is true. I sure don't want to see Michael take over as the Bulls really haven't shown much better.

With the timing of the LaRussa hire, I wonder if Kenny felt he had to "save" things?

No one has ever said, and I have yet to see anyone say they asked.

This should be quoted too

It is long and full of gory detail.

This article is the one I have been waiting for, for years. It goes section by section of the franchise and just destroys what has happened and what continues to happen. It even overlays the empty and undetailed platitudes that local writers continue to print about how they are going to get better with how Jerry has historically stopped them from doing these very things in the past. Glad to see someone finally write this.

Baltimore has to hate the Sox rn. All of those ALC teams got fat kicking their ass.
