  1. 76-86 in 2015. 78-84 in 2016 before they gave up on that idea. How bad does someone have to be before it dawns on their employer or themself, that they cannot do this job?
  2. As bad as Hahn is, collecting failed high draft picks isn't a bad strategy. There was a reason they were picked high. The problem is the White Sox don't seem to be able to bring out the best in most players.
  3. That's true. If he thought she was 18, he's a little less of a scumbag than if not, although still in a world of trouble. One where his contract might be voided and his MLB career over.
  4. I read a little of that thread. They seem to be clinging to the she told him she was 18 hope. If this is going on in the US, she can tell him she's 18, Look like she is 30, but if she is 14, he's in a lot of trouble. Since he isn't traveling with the team , I think it's fair to say he's in a lot of trouble. Yet another guy that had it all, but was too either greedy or stupid or both to keep it.
  5. According to Kim No, the Burger trade was KW. Jake Eders ERA is only slightly above 16.00 in Birmingham. And he’s barely averaging a walk an inning.
  6. Bob today, had a list of 10 guys who may get fired. Pedro didn’t make it. Bob Melvin did. If Bob Melvin is available and the Sox stay with Pedro, it would be amazingly stupid.
  7. Pedro has to be in the top 5 percent of worst managers that ever made it 100 games. This guy is bad, and everyone knows it except the White Sox.
  8. I listened to this. Near the end Ozzie said he loved JR, said he respected KW, then , and I couldn’t totally understand him, but thought he said he didn’t respect Hahn but thought he’s made a couple of nice moves during his tenure. Did I get that right.?
  9. I’m some ways, very true. But Hahn hired this failure. Google Pedro’s introductory press conference, and watch Hahn gush over this failure. I don’t personally know Rick Hahn and I am embarrassed for him. This miss is probably even more of a miss than bringing back LaRussa. The next time Pedro delivers on anything he said in his press conference will be the first. I have a bad feeling the Sox don’t see this and will let him destroy even more next year.
  10. They probably would have lost anyway, but Pedros bullpen management delivered the exact result everyone was watching would have predicted. I try to think of one thing he is good at as a manager, and come up.empty.
  11. Ozzie knows someone who knows him well. He'd like to play for the Cubs, but Chicago is too cold. Probably rules out the Giants too.
  12. It's official. The Sox have no organist. The Nancy Faust organ booth is now a first aid station.
  13. If winning is more important than development right now, why is TA leading off?
  14. Ozzie mentioned it on the pre game show. Said since Middleton was in town Rick should have gone to him if there was a problem. Said, as much as Ozzie himself had some issues with the media, Jesse was doing his job. Then went over the long list of White Sox players who recently left that mentioned clubhouse issues. Said the front office should be thanking them for speaking up, and learn something.
  15. While there’s always that possibility, the White Sox are currently irrelevant. So does it really matter fandom wise if they lose 95 games or 105? I guarantee the next GM of the White Sox will not be around as long as Hahn if he fails at the same clip. He’s made Bob Pulford look like he got a raw deal.
  16. Apparently Hahn went after Jesse Rogers for writing this article. The funny thing was Middleton was in the stadium and he avoided him.
  17. Ozzie called out Pedro for talking out of both sides of his mouth. The day after he said winning trumped development right now, he held out Robert, but said he could play if it was a must win type game. Ozzie did think holding Robert out was the right thing to do.
  18. Wouldn’t today be a great day for the White Sox to announce Rick Hahn is no longer with the organization?
  19. Get a Verizon phone plan and get Sunday Ticket for free.
  20. I agree. TA's kind of like your little brother for everyone that has one. He's popping off all the time, deserving to be beat up. He drives you crazy, you'd like to pop him from time to time. But once someone else tries to pop him, it should be on. On the other hand though, it's easy from afar to say someone should have ben swinging, but reality is probably a bit different. I also don't know how you are defending TA by punching some other random player. And as you said, getting his knocked out ass off the field was a great service to him. His mouth was still going.
  21. Either that, or you are secretly Rick Hahn. I'm not sure I like you anymore.
  22. I guess it's just hard to imagine the people that once thought Ricky Renteria was a problem after winning games, don't want to hold anyone accountable after losing games.
  23. Roberts steal of 3rd where he got injured, was to pad his stats.. He's after 30 SB. Had a slow start in that department this year. Whatever it was, something finally woke him up earlier this season. He was Claudell Washingtoning it the first month or so.
