People have mentioned all the real ones, so I'll add one I said in the Getz thread If Getz is hired, our expectations will be so low that we can only be pleasantly surprised.

I can't wait to see him in Charlotte.

Thank you for jogging my memory on Vizquel and another noted scumbag Bartolo Colon disappearing.

Cause who wants to touch him?

I feel bad breaking it to you, but Larry Doby was with Cleveland when he did that.

If Getz claims them, I'll immediately like him 2% more as a GM

They could never face Castellanos.

Disco Demolition was fine on paper, it blew up (literally) into something else. Midseason was the wrong term.

Why do you have to ruin legitimate points by going so far overboard that you can see Atlantis?

But also cause f*** it, they need pitching and lord knows Gio has cost himself a big contract.

That is rough. Sox should just claim Gio and ReyLo for the lols.

I need to know where we rank "woman shoots herself and another fan after discharging a gun stored in her fat rolls, thus leading to the cancellation of a Vanilla Ice concert" ranks in the Absurd / Ridiculous Moments in White Sox history The last decade is stacked, but we've got Black Sox Scandal Chris Sale shredding jerseys Drake LaRoche Disco Demolition Night Sox fans attacking Tom Gamboa Trading our manager mid-season after he negotiated with another team to be their manager The shorts - I feel like they don't hold a candle to these, but are an honorable mention Belly fat gun Illinois legislature turning off clocks to prevent Reinsdorf from leaving the state (both good and bad) Hiring the play-by-play announcer as the GM; ends in disaster Tony LaRussa's DUI right after he's hired after a decade of not managing The Yermin Saga What am I missing?

Eh, f*** it. Now that JR has crushed the last bit of hope, I can't be disappointed.

Man, say what you will about Michael Reinsdorf, AKME, and how it's turned out but at least they tried to change things up.

You're probably thinking of Ted Stepien's nonsense. He traded five consecutive first-round picks, which is why the NBA has banned trading first rounders in consecutive years. The NBA then let new owners purchase draft picks because Stepien's trading had been so harmful. It was $500,000 per pick, which was a lot to a team at the time. The only trade I know of where the league was like "this is s%*#" was the Chris Paul to Lakers deal, where the NBA were acting owners of the (then) Hornets. As far as MLB overturning trades, bad/secret medicals would have to be exchanged. MLB overturned Colin Rea for Luis Castillo for the Marlins after San Diego failed to disclose an injury. They offered the Red Sox the opportunity to overturn Drew Pomeranz for Anderson Espinoza. Painfully, the White Sox were one of the teams that seemed to also be involved but didn't get the chance to undo the moronic trade.

That's wild to me, considering that they use one for Brooklyn Cyclones game.

I think a combination of Kim Ng saying "called up my boy Kenny Williams" + McGuffey's "KW had authority to trade with the Marlins and Yankees" + Garfein's "Hahn didn't want to trade Burger, Kenny did and traded Burger" paints a pretty clear picture, especially when one is a primary source. FWIW, I may be confusing Garfein and McGuffey, but yeah, this was a KW trade.

And if she felt threatened for whatever reason, now she's given fans at 30 baseball stadiums reasons to feel paranoid.

Alright everyone, looks like we know when the GM search is ending, a proposal to play in Lake Michigan is leaked, and a fan brings a katana into the stadium.

I am certain about one thing. Now that the A's have moved to Vegas, so many owners are gonna be pissed once a team moves to Nashville.

Bama please alert us to all vacations you have on your calendar

I can't believe you cut off the bottom half

I wonder what would have happened if they hadn't blocked the White Sox from picking Benintendi (we grabbed Fulmer that draft).

Opens Wikipedia Second Paragraph FWIW, his Dodgers tenure was 2001-2004.
