12-23 in first games of series seems telling.

How is that possible

What are these reckoning rumors you speak of?

In Hahn’s presser at the deadline he talked about accountability and I think someone heard there could be a reckoning…

But I’m pretty sure that was an Orlando account.

Hahn said there could be one if they missed the postseason.  Another writer then used similar terminology.  I do think Tony is done after this year for sure if they don’t make it.

If you promised me the Sox would fire most of the coaching staff  - definitely including TLR and Menechino - if they missed the playoffs, I might make that trade.  But I definitely don't think anything is for sure with the Sox.

I hope they miss the postseason. The whole coaching staff except for Katz needs to go.

Yet so many posters here think they should win this division. Crazy huh? 

 There is still a good chance 78-80 wins takes the Division at this point.

Coming into the season, I thought the Sox would likely win about 85. Now it looks to be 75-76 wins with Tim out until the Autumn Equinox. His absence alone will cost the team 2-3 + wins with the lack of options.

Didi Gregorious is cooked, but maybe Jerry will give Hahn $200K to cover the minimum after his DFA is final. He is terrible, but still a major upgrade over everyday Leury. And Tony is not playing Sosa regularly unless Leury hits the IL or Sosa goes 14-27 over the next two-three weeks.

4 Fucking 1 and the Sox hit weak grounders

Well thats game. 

Game over. Pack it in

Look at all their left handed batters against our right handed pitcher...

Look at all our right handed (who look dumbfounded) batters against their right handed pitcher...almost isn't fair..

It's almost like lineup balance is important.

Menechino teaches these players that the correct way is to hit groundballs. No extra base hits or homeruns, that’s against his philosophy.

Did he not watch any baseball in Chicago from 2000-2012...especially during the summertime?

The KW philosophy was pounding away with offense so fans could go home happy even with a 9-7 loss after having watched their team score some runs at least.

Otherwise might as well go back to the old Comiskey Park dimensions.

Its over, one team hits home runs, the other hits singles

Hope you guys are enjoying this shit show.

I dislike this team and organization SOOOOOO much.  I've checked out on them.

They are going to double down on what they have.  If they fire Hahn, expect TLR to get that power plus his managerial duties.

One team hits ball over the wall, other team hits on warning track constantly

Pratto and Pasquantino wiping out the last vestiges of the championship window.

Another mediocre cutter. It’s unreal how much this team sucks.

to think i almost drove 3 hours to see this double header today, oof.

It really sucks to watch a team you expected to be a real contender become a .500 ballclub that does nothing very well. 

The whole thing died the day they announced TLR as the manager. I will always believe that.

I hope there is a reckoning in the offseason. This organization is a joke.

this season is over in all but playing out the string.

Acquiring fat pitchers that are plus 30 has always worked well here.  They age like fine wine.

Not even a tram ride at the Little K could get the ball over the fence.

Might as well draft OU softball players like Ato.
