What Frankie Flim Flam's idea of "logic" happens to look like.

Given everything the Sox have done over the last ~8 months, Hahn deserves kudos. If the Sox continue to suck for the next 4-5 years, he will deserve and likely get a lot of negative press.

There is clearly a different philosophy in the way of doing things now with the Sox front office. Its basically the complete opposite of what Kenny Williams did for the better part of 11 years. Given that and what Kenny himself has publically said, it leads me to believe that Hahn was NOT 100% in charge of the roster regardless of what his title was.

With what you have said in this thread, its pretty clear that you either do not understand that, or you are willfully ignoring things which would make BRick's comments about creating your own agenda correct.

Nah he's just in "disagreement" with me isn't he? Just Asking A Question

However if it were a contest of "intelligence" between Flim Flam Frank and a monkey, my bread is on the monkey. No Bullshit!

Would "Da Monkey" have ever "conceived" that Grifol was anything but a terrible hire? Just Asking A Question

This in no way fulfills what Hahn said he was looking for, experience in a winning organization

Grifol has been with the Royals for ten years, so he was there when they played in back to back World Series not that long ago.

If the Sox win the pennant in 2023, win the World Series in 2024, then miss the playoffs 7 years in a row, I'd be OK with that.

I'm optimistic that they went with an outsider. The White Sox way sucks. Not saying the Royals are great, but hopefully Pedro can come in and do things his way. I would like to see Darryl Boston and Joe McEwing gone. I wouldn't care if Katz gets the heave ho as well.

Its a cheap, Jerry hire most likely.

But this guy does embrace analytics and has baseball ops experience. I think both of those are pluses. Would you have rather had Skip Schumaker?

Firing him during an unprecedented win streak is objectively hilarious.

There has to be some relief for poor Pedro. He can finally go home and not think about that awful team. They have finally freed him.

Word on the street is that the Sox are bringing in Terry Bevington to right the ship.

This is not dissimilar to John Elway retiring after Super Bowl 33.

They didn't want his career record to get better than 100 games below .500.

Im sure the next manager will squeeze more than the 48 hits for the year that MVP candidate Luis Robert currently has .

Don't think I've ever had a more 'meh' response to the coach of a team I'm a fan of being fired. It doesn't matter. This team is rotten from the top. Jerry will hire some stooge from within, or give a "come out of retirement package" to an old friend that's just happy to cash a few checks. 80 year old Jim Leyland is available....

Fuck Reinsdorf.

He's fucked the state, the city, and so many fans that there's only a subdivision left.
There's barely anybody left to fuck.

If I could sum up his hubris in one sentence, its:

Two decks of suites from foul pole to foul pole.

At first blush, most would say it's a terrible summation. It's not. Think about who he says he's loyal to, what he's loyal to, and his level of respect for his fan base. It's all there in the building of two levels of suites from foul pole to foul pole. His seething about their 30 year emptiness isn't on him, no no no, it's on his trash of a base.

Anyways, long live ONTV.

I think that he just needed a couple of more weeks to really turn this thing around!
