    Hahn is not one to admit his mistakes. He kept Shields on the team after he was through. As long as the White Sox are paying him Mazara will keep playing all the way thru the Playoffs. Hopefully he won't be on the team in 2021. I'm also hoping that that Cishek won't be on the team next year.
  2. Its quite obvious that Madrigal looks like a major talent. I wonder if the White Sox will try to give him a long term contract this off season.
  3. Mazara has averaged 20 HRs every year. This year he doesn't have any HRs. I've noticed that some major hitters like Baez and Yelich aren't hitting this year also. Could it be that these guys are no longer on the juice?
  4. Alot of older White Sox fans are comparing Madrigal to Nellie Fox. He is similar to Fox . He makes contact and rarely strikes out. Fox was a great bunter. I wonder if Madrigal can bunt.
  5. I wish Cishek would go back to the Northside of Chicago.

    I've never been in the Rick Renteria should be fired club. I've been in the Rick Hahn should be fired club for years. After last nights game I'm beginning to wonder about Renteria. Last nights game was probably the worse game of the season. Hopefully the team will put the game behind them and start winning again. Still, last night Steve Stone said that McCann had the best White Sox hitting results against Berrios. Yet McCann sat on the bench last night. The White Sox have a DH whos not hitting his weight against anybody and he was in the lineup instead of McCann. When I see things like this I actually wonder how serious the White Sox management team is about actually winning games.
  7. I'll never forget the 1969 Mets. In mid season Ron Santo ran his big fat stupid mouth off and started trash talking about the Mets. Santo said the Mets infield belonged in Tacoma. (At that time Tacoma had a minor league team) A few weeks later the Mets started winning and the Cubs started losing.The Mets wound up beating out the Cubs by 8 games. At the end of the 1969 season Seaver called Santo "Pizza Man". That nickname stuck with Santo the rest of his career.
  8. I never understood why the White Sox kept bringing him up from the minors. He couldn't get anybody out in the minors. He didn't deserve to be brought up to the majors.
  9. I've never understood why Grandal was signed to the biggest contract in White Sox history. McCann made the All Star team in 2019. I thought McCann would have been signed to a long term contract this past off season. Hahn has obviously fallen in love with Grandal and I simply don't see why. He's been having a hard time hitting his weight. McCann has done nothing but good since he's been in a White Sox uniform. I have no doubt in my mind that McCann will be playing for another team next season. I really couldn't blame him for leaving. Funny thing about this is the White Sox are stuck with Grandal. Nobody is going to take him in a trade with his big contract.
  10. I'm under the impression that Hahns contract runs out after this season. I would imagine he would want a big long term contract from JR. I hope JR lets him walk and I finally get interviewed for the GM job.
  11. Alex Colome has been a very good relief pitcher for the White Sox the past 2 years. He's a free agent after this year, I wonder if the White Sox are going to resign him.
  12. Wonder what will happen if the Indians want Cease instead of Kopech in a trade for Clevenger.
  13. Thank you for believing in me. But I will take a pass on Manager, Pitching Coach, Hitting coach, Third and first Base Coaches. I will take the GM job if offered to me. I have a tremendous amount of confidence in my abilities. I would make a tremendous White Sox GM.
  14. JR would have been better off hiring me. I could not have possibly done any worse than Hahn and i would have taken less money to be the GM than what he gave Hahn. The other GMs in MLB have to be envious of Hahn. Hahn has been the GM 7 years and has not had one winning season and he keeps his job. He would of been gone by now with every other MLB team.
  15. Obviously McCann isn't highly thought of by the people running the White Sox. I wouldn't be surprised if he was traded before the season ended.
  16. I wish he would have been a lawyer. He's been a lousy GM.
  17. 1982 was the first year of Einhorns Sportsvision fiasco. His feuds with Harry Caray and sportswriter Bill Gleason didn't endure him to many White Sox fans either.
  18. I always thought Einhorn was deeply wounded by the lack of success of his Sportsvision Tv network. He jumped the gun with Sportsvision. The Chicagoland area was not wired for cable yet. If fans wanted Sportsvision they had to buy a expensive box which Sportsvision was on.. He should of waited until the Chicagoland area was wired for cable. The average fan wasn't going to buy an expensive package to see White Sox games when they could watch the Cubs for nothing. Also Einhorn had a massive ego. He didn't like playing second fiddle to the Cubs. There were no tears shed when he left the scene here in Chicago. When he sold most of his shares of the White Sox to JR he was rarely seen here in Chicago. When Einhorn died a few years ago I thought it was disgraceful that JR put Eddie patches on the players uniforms for that entire season.
  19. 1) Having 7 inning games is nuts. 2) The team looked dead again. If this continues the rest of the season I'm sure that the team will have a new manager next season. 3) Mazara looks like the second coming of Adam Laroche. So far he has really looked bad.
  20. It was one of the ugliest situations in White Sox history. Former co-owner Eddie Einhorn wanted to move the team to Florida.He said Florida was the greatest opportunity for MLB since the Dodgers moved to LA. Einhorn was walking around Chicago with Florida White Sox shirts. He made so many ugly comments about the White Sox fanbase, he was getting death threats. He was so scared he hired body guards to protect him. Former sports writer Jerome Holtzman said JR took a poll of White Sox investors and half of them wanted to move to Florida. They bought into Einhorns bullshit that Florida was the land of opportunity for baseball. If Governor Thompson hadn't saved the day both JR and Einhorn were going to fly to Florida the very next day to sign the papers to move the team to Florida the following season. JR has said a number of times that he would of sold the Bulls if the White Sox had moved to florida. Say what you want about JR but the one positive thing I can say about him is he is very good at making money. Moving the White Sox to Florida would have been the biggest mistake of his life. It would have been the worse move in the history of sports ownerships. If he would have moved the White Sox to Florida he would have been part owner of the Florida/Tampa Bay White Sox. By staying in Chicago he remained part owner of the Chicago White Sox, part owner of the Chicago Bulls and part owner of the United Center. Baseball in Florida/Tampa Bay has been a flop. The Rays have already gone thru a number of ownerships. The only reason why the team hasn't moved is because they are locked into there lease for another 8 years. If things don't change in St. Pete the next few years that team will move out of there. The main thing is that Governor Thompson saved the team for Chicago. Another positive thing was Einhorn sold most of his shares of the White Sox to JR and he left the scene. You rarely saw him or heard from him after that.
  21. Former Illinois Governor Jim Thompson died today. He was responsible for saving the White Sox for Chicago. If it wasn't for him the team would have moved to Florida and don't let anybody tell you differently.
  22. Can't help but wonder if the White Sox are going to offer Colome a long term contract.
  23. No you can't wave Grandal away but you could trade him. I don't see how the White Sox bettered themselves by signing Grandal. McCann was on the all star team last year, Hahn could have signed him to a long term contract this past off season. He probably would have been cheaper than what they gave Grandal. He is also younger than Grandal.
  24. Hahn should have signed McCann this past off season to a long term contract. And No I would not have signed Grandal to along term deal.
  25. James McCann is a free agent after this season. I hope the White Sox resign him. If I was the GM now I would sign him up right now with a long term contract.
