Lol not true at all. Has a lot more success than Hahn ever will.

By 2009 I despised Kenny but I begrudgingly think that he did far better with what Jerry gave him than Hahn ever has. This is from a guy that doesn't want to give him one iota of credit. Speaks to how terrible Hahn is. 

Bottom of the league payroll, yet is in 1st place mid-August and absolutely owns the Chicago White Sox who have a top 5 league payroll. You have to ask, what the fuck happened to this team? You can look at all the stats you want, ultimately the W/L speaks for itself. Incompetency has plagued this organization for decades now and it continues. It will continue until ownership and management changes. Such a sad, sad state of affairs.

Yeah I feel like even if they add Colas on opening day next year they should still look for another LHH actual OF.

Empty that farm for Jazz

I blame JR for not firing RH.   I doubt KW could fire Hahn if he wanted.

And the Bears would have been much better off keeping Ditka around than what replaced him.

Why would JR protect RH?  I understand his love for KW, but Hahn?

Interesting that Francona tries to wins today’s game, today.  

Franconia does not punt.  TLR is MLB leading punter.

The trade was still good, I know say we got Cease. That ended up being enough to win the trade. Eloy was a throw in. We originally thought holy shit we got Eloy!! Now we say Holy Shit we got Cease!!

Probably MLB leading napper as well

Andrus reminds me of...Leury. At this point in their careers, they are the same player.

Absolutely, Diekman was horrible, BUT he still should have been ready and in their to face Kwan.

Absolutely right.  JR, the FO and TLR and his coaches keep doubling down on the mistakes they keep making with no adjustments and they expect better results.  That ain’t going to happen.

Tonight I would of rather hand Garcia, but that’s Monday morning quarterbacking 

The march to .500 continues!

You are right.  If we would have retired Kwan somehow we may have won this game.

We are following the Guaranteed Rate down arrow.

As I’ve said many times Cease and Cueto is the only reason that we are a .500 team and not 10 games under 

It seems that the 2019 breakouts were all sticky stuff/bouncy ball related. Once those things were no longer allowed, certain players are no longer good at baseball. 

It also seems while Eloy does have a lot of raw power, his game power was also inflated by the bouncy ball in 2019.

One homer in five games this week

Nah.  Team is pretty good if they do a few things 

1. Fire TLR

2. Fire Menechino and hire someone that will preach hitting the ball in the air

3. Fire the entire training staff, top to bottom

4. Call up Colas to play RF or LF

What are you smoking ? While I applaud your bashing the low hanging rotten fruit like a pinata ,you say Hahn is pretty blameless because they , meaning who exactly, overspent on the bullpen ? Plus the world knew from last year they couldn't hit RHP and they still can't. They (Hahn) could've addressed that situation 3 times since the middle of 2021 and did nothing.

While at some point they maxed out payroll the priorities were way out of wack. Let's let Rodon walk without a QO, Let's pick up Kimbrel's option and trade him and SURPRISE he was pretty untradeable but hey we got a 34yr old RIGHT HANDED HITTER!  You're just as delusional about the cast of position players as Hahn is.

There are press people who said that the driving force in the Kelly acquisition was LaRussa. So while I don’t have any urge to let Hahn off the hook, I don’t want to let LaRussa off the hook for the bullpen signings either.

Because Hahn is the ultimate company yes man b****

Stoney comments at the end of the game “we saw some unusual things in the game tonight, very frustrating, one of the most frustrating games of the year”.  Got to believe he was referring to TLR inexplicable moves.  After tonight TLRis only supported by Himself and JR..

Yea, well that's why they signed him.  This FO likes Leury and players like Leury.  Rick Hahn's looking for the next Keppinger.
