8/23 Kirby v. Kopech Gamethread
This is why they all need to go. I have been harping on this point for a while. Moving Benentendi out of lineup spot and now going with multiple innings and consecutive days with relievers shows Grifol and Katz really are idiots. The fact they cannot bring any bullpen arm that is serviceable should get Getz fired. Grifol lost this team in April, if he ever had it.

After an exhaustive search, Getz named GM/VP
My stance on the White Sox is that they have a fixed budget and can do with it as they wish but are beholden to JR at he end of the day on major decisions. It is the mindset of KW and Hahn to spend their budget foolishly. I can't see JR being against building up a scouting and development department and losing out on the overpaid free agent. This feels like the JR model he has spoke about recently and would like. The Tampa and Baltimore models are what he wants. Hopefully he finds a baseball mind that sees it this way as well.

KW/Hahn - They Gone
I don't buy the Rick Hahn resigning stuff. Did this start after TLR was hired or was this before when KW was stepping on him for the 9 years prior. If this was over the last two years, I give JR credit, Hahn made this mess and in the end both he and KW were held accountable. If Hahn resigns after last year he can blame it on TLR and moves he was not allowed to make and 2020 and 2021 were just the beginning. After this season he isn't getting a GM job again any time soon and may not get a job in baseball at all. Why didn't either resign or agree to resign at the end of this season when they could leave gracefully. They are both fired rather publicly in the dog days of summer when the baseball news cycle can use a little heat. This doesn't add up. If KW is the man in charge why isn't he just pushed aside then Hahn can take over? If Hahn wanted a another job why not look for one and not hang around answering to KW for 12 years. They were both fired mid season after all of the years together. I would have thought KW would have at least gotten the John Paxson treatment or retired.

Reinsdorf considers moving White Sox out of Guaranteed Rate Field or selling team
I don't think Soldier Field is more of a nightmare then Wrigley Field. Chicago losing the Bears and White Sox in the frame of 2 years is a lot of entertainment dollars. How a sportsbook in Chicago is not tied to one of them is insane. It's too bad there are no big thinkers in Chicago any longer and everyone is just trying to make the CTU happy.

Reinsdorf considers moving White Sox out of Guaranteed Rate Field or selling team
Doesn't Reinsdorf own all of the land that Comiskey Park is located on. What if that was the land that the Bears wanted to take to build their dome and the White Sox moved to the lake front on the land where old McCormick is located. Build a nice 32K seat stadium down there.

Reinsdorf considers moving White Sox out of Guaranteed Rate Field or selling team
He is loyal to the lap dogs. He uses the carrot mentality with everyone especially younger players to lock them in and then let's them walk. Pippen is the prime example. How is Jordan treated the way he is. The amount of money he has made Reinsdorf is insane. He has become a master puppeteer of sheeple like myself.

He will go 0-12 in this series, that's just how things work with your Chicago White Sox.

8/16 Game Thread: White Sox @ Cubs 7:05CT
Grifol could be the dumbest most incompetent mfer I've even seen. For months guys couldn't be used on back to back nights but hey now let's over use guys. I like the thought today but why move to this strategy now?

How does Bummer not catch the DP ball?

8/16 Game Thread: White Sox @ Cubs 7:05CT
I'm on delay and I know the offense ...why the f*** does moncada bat 4th. Madrigal just turned the game around. God Bummer us soft.

8/16 Game Thread: White Sox @ Cubs 7:05CT
I think the injury around that time was the larger issue. His offfield idiocy is localized at this point. He finishes strong I think he opts out.

This offense is so bad he seems competent....he's not but it seems like it.

8/16 Game Thread: White Sox @ Cubs 7:05CT
How can they seriously run this offense out there next year. This is Rick's core we needed to see. Game about to be 4-0

Fire Pedro Grifol
He is a horrible manager. One thing I find interesting is now that they are out of it, but wins still matter to him, guys are going multiple innings out of the pen. When winning mattered that never happened, even if a guy threw 5 pitches to get out of an inning.

8/13 White Sox vs Brewers, 1:10 PM CT
I just turned on for first time in a while. Sounds like Yoan I'd hot. That AB says otherwise. How is he batting 4th. Promoting next season tickets. I'll hold off on that for now.

8/11 White Sox vs. Brewers | 7:10PM NBCSCH
Halsey or the other the switch hitter in AAA should be out there. God the organization sucks. Better lose all 3 to the Brewers

No Official plans to announce for SoxFest
The owner hasn't attended in over 10 years, same with KW. This to me is another indication that Hahn is out he door. This is more about former players, seminars and baseball BS. Nobody would have gone last year or this year to listen to the nonsensical idiocy of Rick Hahn. I'd actually like to hear what KW had to say, he was usually a good listen. Didn't they feed us the same line of BS about honoring the fans somehow last winter? What a clown car of an organization.

Keynan Middleton rips White Sox 'no rules' culture
The team was run correctly under Renteria. Players seemed to play for him. He was a terrible game day manager but that could be worked around. When he was fired he needed to be replaced by somebody that could command the room. That did not happen. This organization failed the team by having a leadership void. The players know the roster is poorly constructed and have no respect for the coaching staff, the front office or themselves. Absolute s%*# show.

Death and taxes.

8/3 Sox @ Rangers, 1PM, NBCSN
I said this in some thread but if KW is in charge the Burger trade to the Marlins leads me to believe she is replacing KW this winter. I don't know why I think that about that trade but it's such an odd trade at that time.
-
8/3 Sox @ Rangers, 1PM, NBCSN
Sadly they really believed that one home run and nice week of BABIP had turned the corner. Although these clowns couldn't get Trayce Thompson into the lineup fast enough. What an absolute s%*# show.

8/3 Sox @ Rangers, 1PM, NBCSN
I need one of those stats that tells us the team's record when the "core" plays together. With Vaughn replacing Abreu and what not. Let's hear about the record when Anderson is playing. The issue with this team is offense. NOTHING was done at the deadline to address this and nothing has been done via trades or free agency in probably close to ten years. They are all coming back next year. I love the media thinking that they are now embarrassed and will light a fire. Losing to Oakland, being embarrassed by Houston, missing the playoffs, losing 100 games. There is no fire to be found in any offensive player on this team. The media is not covering them as there is no story with them just pure s%*#.

Fire Rick Hahn
Stone isn't even trying any more.
