Someone should have covered 2nd, but When he caught it he froze. He should have just run it in. The runner at 1B would have gone back.

Fire Rick Hahn
It’s amazing.it’s his 11th season calling the shots. He’s had 2 good teams. 1 was during Covid only 60 games, no fans. In his 11 years as a GM, Sox fans have only had 1 season they could go watch a good White Sox team. The MCaskeys would have fired him long ago.

The genius of KW and Hahn is to make sure JR is in on everything and everything turns into a 3 man decision. Maynpbe include some other lackeys and some of the coaching staff and every wrong decision can’t be accountable. We all came to the same conclusion, you can’t get rid of all of us. I really wonder how bad it would have to get for them to actually do something.

So putting on the hat and coat gets you thrown at but catching the ball and posing is fine. OK.

The Rays don’t like the Sox new home run thing.

I think Eflin was pissed about the home run coat and hat being put on outside the dugout.

Sosa has been playing stupidly at 2B. At least he can't hit either. One of the White Sox better prospects.

You see stupidity you've never seen on a daily basis. Fire Rick Hahn.

Maybe send Sosa down and teach him how to play baseball.

Columns on Hahn...
He messed up on Kimbrel, needed a RF who could hit RHP and got Pollock, who couldn't play RF, and couldn't hit RHP. He got lucky AJ wanted out, and only had to pay him $5 million this year. The only good moves he makes aren't even his thinking. There is no way they sign Cueto last year if Lynn doesnt hurt his knee. And Andrus was really good, but another no brainer getting released right when TA was pretty much done for the season. Any fantasy league owner could have done those. Of course he ruins his good Andrus move and signs him to stink up the joint this year, ignoring his recent history. I can't fathom what JR sees in him. He's made his franchise unwatchable. He's blown hundreds of millions of dollars on crap. He has no farm system, the most cost effective way to keep your team relevant. Almost everything he has done for over a decade, there are some exceptions, were wrong. How is he still around?

The End of the Big Lie
No, because the Bulls and Hawks own the other parts and nobody wants to watch them either.

Columns on Hahn...
Hahn fired Ricky Renteria. At the time, I thought the move was solid for where the Sox wanted to go. I didn't think Ricky ran the pitching staff too well, and seeing him bent over with his hands on his knees during the playoffs was a bit much. Looking back, the team looked so happy and fun when he was around. It was a bit like that when Tony first started, but eventually that joy died. Would it have stayed had Ricky stayed? We will never know, but I would like Hahn to answer why he deserves a White Sox paycheck and Ricky Renteria does not.

Ticket rep attacks fan for not renewing
If you don't have tickets yet, buy them on the secondarty market. If you buy them from the A;s the Sox will get a small cut of it. At least if you buy them from the secondary market, JR gets none of your money. I had freebies a couple of Sundays ago when they were in a delay for 2 hours only to play in worse weather than during the delay. We bought no concessions. JR has none of my money this year, and he isn't going to get any either, unless he makes some changes.

Columns on Hahn...
I think Pedro getting whacked should be on the table but both Hahn and KW went out of their way to say he's not a problem. IMO, just another case where they don't even want to consider they were wrong going after the cheapest guy available. And if someone can explain to me this hitting "system" that is taking a while to catch on. What kind of system which is aimed at making batters more selective, and swinging at strikes, makes players poor at doing that, initially, for at least 100 AB, probably more, make them even less selective, and chase more than they ever did? It's obviously spin. They have an awful hitting coach.

The Chris Getz Era
What they need is an out of town writer since the beat guys are too reluctant to get controversial, ask Hahn and KW when they bring up accountability, exactly what has been done regarding them being held accountable. What have they done to hold others accountable....

Columns on Hahn...
How does Rick Hahn say on one hand no one is harder on him than himself, and on the other b**** about negative fans who think everything he does, is wrong?

Columns on Hahn...
They know they won't be fired. Its their way of showing fake accountability. If they really felt as much responsibility as they claim, they would have resigned citing incompetence. Telling JR, if you aren't going to fire us, we will fire ourselves. Hahn saying he needs to "continue to earn" when the f*** did he ever earn it? 2 winning seasons in 11 years, and 1 was a 60 game season fans couldn't even attend. Think about it, he has been the GM 11 seasons and only 1 of those seasons could you buy tickets to go see a good team, and really that was only the first half before they became mediocre again. I doubt there is a GM with a tenure that long that has ever been as consistently bad. The excuses are ridiculous. Players are learning a system? This isn't football. If the system is chase less, why are they almost all chasing more? How in the world could that be part of the process, and if it was, why did they not prepare to be historically bad for a while? The team is just bad. They have failed at their jobs. KW and Hahn need to go away. Take Getz with you. There has to be someone they could hire to run the minor leagues who can develop players enough so when they are called up they don't look like they just started playing baseball last week. We look at the product on the field and see total failure. We don't even mention they can't even call anyone up. Their minor league system is so bad and so injured, there is no one to even call up when guys hit .120 and play poor defense. JR used to say the White Sox were a public trust. Basically the fans were the real owners. If that was how he really felt, he would try to do something to fix this moving forward. But crickets. He is nothing but a bullshitter. If I wasn't so invested, and so sad and angry, if this was the Cubs, I'd be laughing my ass off at this organization daily. The organization from top to bottom is a joke. Sell the team Jerry.

Fire Rick Hahn
Rick Hahn has been GM since 2013. This is his 11th year, and his team has been over .500 only one year fans could attend games.

Ticket rep attacks fan for not renewing
I’m shocked they get so mad. White Sox tickets are gold. They recently had a promotion for tax day, $4.15 tickets. I received the email, hit the link to see what it was about, and was put in a waiting room for 50 seconds or so due to high demand. LMAO. How stupid do they think people are?
-
Fire Rick Hahn
They can’t send anyone down. They have no one to call up. Another reason to fire Rick Hahn.

So since KW decided to tell us he’s not pleasant to be around these days, the Sox have been out scored 28-2.

This is All of Us....
I hope someone with some pull with the White Sox has listened to Berto, and realized what he said is really accurate. White Sox fans deserve better. Not maybe in the offseason. Not maybe at the All Star break. But right now. Roll some heads. Show everyone you want to be different than you've been.
-
This is All of Us....
It's only his 44th year. Give him some time. And you see what the Bulls were when they were happily rid of MJ. They actually thought their domination was them. They haven't been to a Finals since. 1 conference final 13 playoff misses and 8 1st round exits. Even though Bulls fans sell out his arena every night with crap , he refuses to ever go over the luxury tax for them, instead just lining his pockets with money he will never spend. He needs to go.

Fire Rick Hahn
It was that thing he did with AJP blasting Brooks Boyer saying jR needs to sell, and not optimistic about the Sox chances.
