  1. The first sign that something really was off was the interview with Hawk. That guy used to think the Sox had a shot down 7 with 2 outs in the 9th. Even he has seen enough.
  2. The funny thing about Rick blaming a tweet for a trade falling through is the person who tweeted it either got the info from Rick or one of his lackeys.
  3. JR actually used to show up at Soxfest. I don't think he did any seminars, but he would be walking around.
  4. It's hard to believe they couldn't find a more appropriate partner. I wonder if Manfred wonders what the hell is going on. Wouldn't MLB be better as a whole if the American League franchise in the country's 3rd largest city was run like a big market, and actually spurred interest from its residents?
  5. Im sure JR is glad he no longer has the Berto Center.
  6. I think you have the start time what they gave the players. It actually starts at 6:10.
  7. I bet it still is. One thing he mentioned about JR that rarely gets mentioned, is JR lucked into Michael Jordan. The bulls were lucky at 3 he was available, and the next year JR bought the team. Without that stroke of luck, JR is no better than a McCaskey.
  8. The lack of depth has always been a problem for this organization, but it wasn't as big of one when they were tops in the league in health. Now that half their roster, including most of their key players will spend weeks on the IL, the lack of depth is exposed like no other time . KW's comments were just empty. Hahn will probalby do his first game of the homestand with some more BS. How about doing something else.?
  9. Not only did he not land Machado, he blew 8 figures on his worthless friends. He spend $15 million on Leury Garcia. I know one thing, if Rick was ever homeless, Leury's family would take care of him.
  10. I agree with about 99% of this. Especially at the end. If your job is making you physically ill, and not pleasant to be around, every career counselor would tell you to find another position. We need a rogue beat writer today to ask Hahn how much of this failure he pins on himself, and don't let him get away with a non answer.
  11. It’s not game over is a lie. No team has ever started 7-18 and made the playoffs. They have always said you can’t win a title in April, but you can lose one. They lost one.
  12. He will say they are not off to the start they imagined. Mention injuries. Say they should get a couple of guys back soon. They still believe in the team and the coaching staffs ability to get the most out of them. Mention that they have dug themselves a hole, but the good news is there is still time to get themselves out of it. Will say they are always looking for ways to improve. You know, the same s%*# he says every year..
  13. I thought this team would at least have a 4 or 5 year run of being really good and perhaps longer. It ended with the LaRussa hire, and is only getting worse. It’s almost hard to believe how bad they are. But there is no secret as to why they aren’t scoring. Robert leading off then hitting 3rd the way he’s going. Andrus leading off? That incompetence making out the line up card. They still would have lost most likely. But a team struggling, watching them go down so easily in the first inning can deflate the team. I have no idea what Pedro is thinking here other than please fire me, I want to go home.
  14. That truly is if not the best , certainly in the top 2 or 3 Chicago Sports Radio call ins of all time, and all he did was tell the truth. Passionately. Hahn, KW and JR have done this to thousands of Sox fans. Go away. Let someone who may be competent give it a go. You clearly are not.
  15. The only way Theo came to the White Sox is if he was part of some ownership group that bought the team.
  16. The 7-18 start ties the worst record through the first 25 games under JRs ownership with the 1886 team which featured the Hawkeroo at GM and Tony LaRussa getting fired. 3 other White Sox teams started 8-17. 1997, 2001, and 2018. The last time the Sox had fewer than 7 win in their first 25 games was in 1950. They will try, but there is no way to spin this. It’s complete and utter failure.
  17. They lost a lot of tickets last winter, and this start that makes the entire season irrelevant will take its toll on in season sales. They will salary dump to save JR some losses. They will just take whatever they can get for some guys. Wouldn’t surprise me if they take less for someome like Gio or TA if they take a Lynn and/or Diekman. 188-199 since Hahn basically blew off the 2021-22 offseason despite obvious holes.
  18. The thing that sucks is we all knew this team had flaws. But they are in a division where you can have several flaws but still play lots of meaningful games. During what should be one of the peak seasons of their window, they will go the entire 2023 season without playing a meaningful game.
  19. When will the Sox announce the cancellation of Soxfest? they not only think very little of their fans, they are afraid of them. They might say mean things like you are not good at your job that pays you millions.
  20. I would think they will do better than that, but the draft guys should be happy. There is no way this team isn't picking in the top 10, and probably top 5.
  21. There is no way JR gives anyone the authority or cash money Theo would require.
  22. Rick can't really believe he's a good GM can he?
  23. It's almost like he's thinking one of tow things. Either you should have hired me, or thank God you didn't hire me.
  24. If the entire organization isn't embarrassed by the effort in Toronto, they don't deserve to be an MLB franchise. If Robert could be sent down without being exposed, send his ass down. Same with anyone else. It's total BS what's going on.
  25. Since KW popped off, the Sox have pounded out 8 hits. All singles in 2 games.
