QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 03:21 PM) Kenny is rick's boss. He sure an answer questions related to the makeup of the team. I love how everyone is so anti Kenny, but think nothing of theo epstien having Jed hoyer as GM in name only. What does Theo Epstein have to do with the White Sox repeatedly missing the playoffs under Kenny?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 02:00 PM) This is Hahn's 3rd season as the GM. He took over a team whose shelf life expired and was pretty bad. He's done a lot the last 3 years to make things bearable. I still think they will be entertaining this summer. KW is still a major part of the decision process and he was directly responsible for the team whose shelf life expired and was pretty bad.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 01:46 PM) The fact is, one team wins every year. It generally takes more than a year or two to build a champion, and there rarely are champions that remain champions for several consectutive years. Hahn said they weren't where they wanted to be at the beginning of this. They knew they are still short in certain areas, but to say, well you tried to win so either the guy that put your roster together or the guy that manages your team or both are idiots who need to be fired is beyond meatheaded. That would mean there would be a huge turnover every year with almost every team. The fact is, 10 teams make the playoffs every year. (formerly 8) The White Sox haven't been one of those teams in seven years with the same people in the front office.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) In that case, the people who chose these players are at the top of the list of White Sox problems. It's not their fault, it's the players' fault, we have been over this. They always choose the right players, it just doesn't usually work out.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 12:01 PM) I wonder if Hamilton knows the Pabst brothers? Ha, you'd have to imagine they partied somewhere together at some point.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 09:12 AM) No front office will ever say, "yeah, this team sucks" on April 1, or even June 1. If you are looking for that, you will never see it. Even last year the Cubs had Theo in front of camera's talking about competing. Sure, I understand that. Just frustration that year after year it's the players' fault while KW is now in year 15 with a whopping two division titles to show for it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 09:39 AM) Hey guys, who can we talk to about the Stanley Cup Finals? I know! Comcast SportsNet ‏@CSNChicago 53m53 minutes ago Hulk Hogan: #Blackhawks are "in a whole bunch of trouble, brother" - http://bit.ly/1RGjZh6 He can watch with Emilio Estevez

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 25, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) Love Labatt. We just call Blue Lights "Canadian Water." I realized that the 3 games the Hawks lost vs. Anaheim, I had been drinking Labatt. Switched to Molson for Game 7.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 10:37 PM) Two things to come out of this story. 1.) I'm glad he said the team has at times been "embarrassing." I like that. 2.) Sometimes we debate on here expectations for this team. He once again says the team is good enough to win the division. Case closed on that argument. A lot of Soxtalk posters write that we are in some building process and the team still isn't good enough to win. The Sox said it in spring training and said again this roster is good enough to win the division. Now I would disagree obviously as I stand by my comment that 3B (Gillaspie) 2B (Sanchez), catcher (both of em), DH (LaRoche) and CF (Eaton) and LF for the most part (powerless Melky) all stink as well as our baserunning and defense. That's about the 15th straight year he he has said that. So far he has been right twice, so I don't think the odds are ever in his favor.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 04:53 PM) The Robin haters will be unhappy. KW said if these players can't get it done, they need to change the mix of players not staff. So he's basically admitting that him and Rick did a s***ty job of putting a good roster together , but don't worry, they will try to get it right next time?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) I think they put his name on there, or at least give him first hoist after Toews. I'd assume it would go Captain-Kimmo-Richie I imagine he would be the first healthy scratch to hoist the cup immediately after the captain

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 04:54 PM) can we say MVP I think you mean Conn Smythe my friend

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) That's pretty ****ing lucky for the white sox. Cue the unbearable old man: "It's not who you play, it's when you play them"

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 12:08 PM) Hawks can petition names for the cup, he'll be on it. I remember in 2013 Toews was going to remove the word "captain" off the Cup so someone else could get their name on. That was for Jamal Mayers, who had been on the team for 2 years. Given how short Timonen was here and little he contributed, I'm not convinced his name will be on there if he doesn't play a Finals game. Since the Hawks made the Finals, the Timonen trade will now cost them two second round draft picks.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 11:42 AM) Pretty sure Kimo is on the bench unless we are ahead 3 games to zero. The D play was so much better once he was gone. Agreed. If the Hawks win, poor guy won't even get his name on the Cup after all.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 11:31 AM) I'll never understand not wanting to sell your product, regardless of who's buying it. For a regular season game, I'd get your point. But it's the Stanley Cup Final, there is zero chance it doesn't sell out. Might as well try to help your team have a better crowd (Although it just may encourage more Floridians looking to make a quick buck)

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) LOL. Tampa Bay is dumb: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/06/01/ber...cy-is-pathetic/ I don't have any issues with the credit card restrictions. Fact is, between the amount of Chicagoans living in Florida and the modern day secondary ticket market, any Blackhawks fan who wants to attend the game, will be able to anyway. The restricting of Hawks jerseys in the club sections? Now that's ridiculous.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 10:27 AM) Fun with numbers John Danks ERA 4.81 Danny Duffy ERA 5.87 Jerrod Dyson .219/.254/.297 awesome And of course in his 8 full seasons as a GM his teams have finished ahead of the White Sox , a team led by buffoons, twice. Terrence Gore .242/.349/.276 - in the minor leagues

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 09:47 AM) Any word on whether TVR will be available? It sounded like he should be available by the middle of the series, but who knows if they will just throw him in the fire after not having played in so long and being so young. Then again, I'd be scared of the Lightning's speed vs. Timonen, so maybe TVR would be the next man up. QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 10:10 AM) good i really was hoping for the main core players healthy. btw, in chicago any word on Bickell and playing 4+ mins last game. After the game, Q's quote was "He will be fine". That's about the most detailed injury update you will get in the playoffs unless someone is 100% out for the playoffs

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 06:47 AM) There aren't any simple answers, but I think it has to be fixed/addressed for this team to ever be a serious pennant contender again. It worked in 2005 because Iguchi, Pods, Uribe, Crede, Rowand and Everett were all were leaders and brought out the best in their teammates. Going back to the "unselfish" idea, those were guys who weren't into their stats but mostly just wanted to win, above everything else. Buehrle, too. We were told in the offseason that LaRoche and Robertson had those same qualities, but it seems like there's just too many players who are struggling with their individual situations for it to make much of a difference from a team perspective. No.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 31, 2015 -> 09:30 AM) Was at a wedding. During the fathers speech downloaded nbc sports app and turned on game and a geico ad auto plays at full volume. Not a good look. One of the guys in my season ticket group is getting married Saturday night, all the other guys are in the wedding too. Lucky for him it's not a home game, but it should be interesting. The good thing is he leaves for his honeymoon Sunday, so one less person in on the Finals tickets

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 31, 2015 -> 05:54 PM) I have no idea who is going to win this division. The Indians, duh.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 31, 2015 -> 02:17 PM) I bet money Micah doesn't turn that. I bet money Abreu doesn't pick that

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 31, 2015 -> 07:14 AM) http://smellslikemascot.blogspot.com/2015/...g-down.html?m=0 Haha, exactly

Stop answering to KW
