Fire Rick Hahn
Which was one of the most exciting seasons for Sox fans in nearly a decade...the 1990 team in the final season of Old Comiskey. That Himes firing had absolutely zero to do with performance and all to do with personality clashes.

What did Sheets do that time?

Wade 11 for his last 28...Remillard of their team. Bringing in Bummer now?

Beckham...nice jinx on praising Robert's at-bat. Complete momentum shift in this one.

Two more runs there...and game would gave been over for all intents and purposes.

This is insane. Hahn showing he once again has no clue. Hopefully Sox compensate Shaw's UBER driver after the cross country Charlotte to SFO flight.

Poor Bryan Shaw about to come into this one...not exactly how Doubleday and Cartwright imagined it.

Blow it the F Up
The White Sox love to bring untalented cronies on board who won't threaten their positions or rock the boat. It's hard to believe canning him would be a sufficient scapegoat to pacify anyone, unless there was an implicit guarantee they were going outside the organization finally for new leadership.

Benintendi, Suzuki, Yoshida
https://www.mlb.com/player/masataka-yoshida-807799 Yoshida has been an 850-925 OPS hitter for the majority of the first half. It doesn't do much good for Benintendi to even be on the Sox roster in future years if they start executing a tear down. Low 700s OPS corner outfielders with marginal power and below average throwing arms don't exactly shout out "biggest contract in franchise history level worth."

Both. The problem is Sheets Grandal Anderson and Andrus also need to go, too. Season wise, Burger and Benintendi are both pretty close statistically, but Andrew one of the best hitters over the last month and Burger one of the worst.

You mean trade aging productive players that are about to get more expensive and hit their decline phase for cheaper/better. Unfortunately...not a Hahn strength. And you can totally remove from the realm of imagination Lucas Giolito getting the Jose Berrios Toronto deal from the Sox.

Even for the Village of Bedford Park.

Upcoming Week - Chance to get within 2-3 GB of the Twins
That's going to take away 25-30% of Benetti's material second half. Now down to concessions item promotions.

Can we buy Hahn a trip on one of those Virgin Galactic space journeys before he can screw up things any more in July?

Fathom should be happy the White Sox finally got the wrong Wong to add insult to injury...three years too late. Those two have to be brothers, right? Might as well now go after Keston Hiura for the rebuild team...speaking of MIL.

Only choices at third are Romy and Popeye and Remillard. Andrus has to be bounced soon...unless they're kneecapping Tim Anderson.

Kotsay >>> Thome According to Ozzie. That and Matt Thornton the big difference in 2010.

Double bump for multiple examples of stupidity/baseball idiocy in "must win" games against a AAAA lineup.

Well...that's the season almost. Put a fork or at least spork in it.

Usually younger Sox hitters start off failing from the get go ... his extended hot streak one of the few aberrations.

Hopefully they removed this game from Fox options due to national embarrassment factor.

So Luis Robert attempting to take third with one out...Burger still sucking...and bullpen struggles once again the story of the game?

Blow it the F Up
The problem is Benintendi in 2025 26 27...he's not going to kill the Sox now. But those teams like TB Balt and Cincy wouldn't think about that kind of a Tier B/C deal going forward with such limited upside. That said, what the Rays do with Lowe and Arozarena will be a real test for their accountants to continue to fit onto the payroll.
