QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 07:57 PM) Losing 7 of 10 coming real soon. QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 07:57 PM) That's exactly how I feel. I cant stand it anymore. You watch so many losing seasons with the playoffs not in sight. Then here comes 2015 looks good. We stink again. With not many bright spots except "Sale and Q are here for a while". Well f***ing great. You want to make the playoffs before their contracts are up?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 07:54 PM) He tried so hard everyone knew this was going to happen. Yep we certainly did. It's a disgrace. I am so god damn tired of losing.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 07:51 PM) And that was the sound of bandwagon fans exiting stage left. Back to the normal White Sox. But yay, we still have Shark's dirtbag grittiness/competitiveness to enjoy for 10-11 more starts. But Rick Hahn played the game and he tried...but...

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:28 PM) If you were an opposing GM, would you rather call KW or Hahn to get a deal done? Well here's the thing. With the results from basically 3 years of play I would rather have Kenny as the General Manager. All the "right" moves Rick has made and such little results. He doesnt deserve the benefit of the doubt. We act like he's built a clear contender before. He has a year or two to get this right. Hopefully the damage isnt too bad if/when he leaves.

The package for Kazmir was not blah at all. I'm just wondering how much more time Rick Hahn is going to waist. I mean it may actually be a good thing he didnt go through with this trade. Looking at his lack of success so far. Hey maybe they'll decide to go all for a playoff spot before Chris Sale's contract ends. If they want to keep dicking around then trade Sale and Q. Stop wasting everyone's time.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 04:49 PM) AA is under pretty much a make the playoffs or your fired line, so what good to him is his farm system and a longer term plan if he can't get in the playoffs. I think the Sox doing what the Jays did would have been bad given our current roster (not to mention we wouldn't have had the horses to do it). That said, at least a few of the guys they got will be under team control. That's not the point I was making. I'm not asking to sacrifice the farm. Just show that your interested in making a run. Make a go at it. Those teams are ahead of you and clearly want that spot. You play this game to get into the post season. If that's not your goal you need to leave the front office. They were talking about playoffs in Spring Training. Well here we are. Right in the thick of it and you dont to make it look like your engaged in that discussion. I am not going to criticize them for trying and it not working. Some of these prospects people like to hold onto tightly are not going to make the team. Hate to break the news there. I have zero problem sacrificing them to make the post season.

All I know is Kenny must be pretty pissed right now. Forget Hahn and his apparent "frustration". We know Mr President is probably fuming right now.

Great you can sit there and play the stand pat card. Your not going to receive sympathy for trying. Toronto and Baltimore are going for it and trying to make a playoffs. They know they can make any more excuses. It's do or die.

Maybe they thought Baltimore and Toronto were behind us in the standings. Then they looked today and finally realized they weren't. Next year we probably should go into the deadline expecting nothing. Unless Kenny decides to fire hahn

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:24 PM) Exactly. They said f*** the fans, especially those idiots on Soxtalk. Let's piss them off and do nothing and hopefully start a nice losing streak. Because that's what I said?

If you want to sum it up. The front office just said f*** the playoff spot. That's really what happened here.

Welp get ready for the Rick Hahn we tried speech. Cant wait for another one of those.

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 18s18 seconds ago Zack Wheeler isn't goo to #Tigers in Cespedes deal,sources say https://twitter.com/jaysonst

Glad they waited until after the deadline to concede to Toronto. Well played.

Dont worry guys we we're close to acquiring someone. So that earns them a few gold stars.

Yep figures. Well done.

I'd deal Johnson no problem. Tim Anderson no. Montas probably. I think Montas is going to end up as a reliever anyway.

Come on Hahn. Do something positive.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) For that price, I think I am ok with it. Fake account

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) Tigers got Zach Wheeler. Fake Ken Rosenthal account

He's going to the Mets. There we go. We'll hear Hahn talk about how he just missed on Cespedes.

Rick Hahn's going to feed us some bulls*** on how they were really close to a deal but it didnt end up happening. They like the club and got some good things going on.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) Give a name right now... What is the best offer you would make as Rick Hahn for Cespedes. GO I would give him Danish or Adams

I'm not all the way to very angry/frustrated. But I'm getting more pissed off as the time goes by.

Yeah Scott Merkin in his article said that Garcia is still viewed fairly well with executives.
