Quin Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 This is normal for the Rockies scoreboard operator. Every now and then it goes viral and everyone goes 😮. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in the Denver metro trying to play amateur sleuth and figure out who Becky actually is.

South Side Hit Men Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Will never forget the night we chipped in to rent a suite, and laughed out asses off when the soon to be fired Joe Stephen taunted Chuck Finley with Whitesnake’s Here I Go Again after Tawny Kitaen RIP was arrested for kicking his ass earlier in the week.  https://www.espn.com/page2/s/caple/020424.html   3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Chuck is my stepson's second or third cousin, he's a distant relative. Covered him when he pitched at Northeast Louisiana (now Louisiana-Monroe). He had a very solid career.

Iwritecode Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 IDK guys... Is this really more embarrassing than having a GM that has a sub-500 record in 10 years with only 2 playoff appearances and 0 playoff series wins and yet still somehow keeps his job? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both definitely not top tier organizations. Hell, not even top half, or even top 2/3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget how much they're spending AND they had to fire two front office execs in a row for various Improprieties. And they lost to the Padres in the playoffs last year.  And they have pretty much diametrically opposed media markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the Mets and Sox are fortunate the Racist / Rapist Chicago NHL OrganIzation and Dan Snyder Washington NFL Teams took more arrows over recent years, though Chicago escaped national scrutiny because nobody south of Canada gives a s%*#. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I would consider two front office guys at or near the GM level to be slightly more important...but the White Sox also had issues with Wally Backman as well. A lot of people around the game thought he was going to be an excellent manager. Then there's Daryl Boston and the Brian Ball allegations, which I'm pretty sure that lawsuit didn't go anywhere. Â Think of Wes Helms as more of a Braves' guy...that's where his roots lie, at least, like McEwing and the Cardinals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/fan-beat-atlanta-braves-freeze-170457750.html GIF for last two years of White Sox baseball/Hahn. No parade. Except to the eyeglass store. Lost because he got too concerned with looking back instead of moving forward to finish line.

No GM in baseball is more embarrassing than the extensive losing track record and results of Rick Hahn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
