South Side Hit Men

The women who brought the gun, shot the gun, and sustained burns on her stomach brought the gun, fired the gun, and shot this 42 year old season ticket holder in the leg. Initial Questions: Did the woman who fired the gun attend the game using one of the 42 year old woman's season tickets? If so, do the Chicago White Sox intend on revoking her season ticket privileges for violations of code of conduct? Will the White Sox revoke and or ban the shooter from attending future games, and if so for what duration? Is this 42 year old woman attempting to sue the White Sox and or others for what happened? Is the woman who fired the gun also a CPS, CTU, Off Duty Police, City of Chicago or employee of another government entity?, Does she have any political ties or clout? Will the Cook County DA office prosecute the woman who illegally discharged her firearm, violating law per White Sox Code of Contact * ? Does the shooter have a valid FOID card and/or CC Permit? Where casings or other evidence found at the scene, and was all evidence turned over the the CPD? What were the statements of the perp, victim(s) and other witnesses in terms of the gun firing? Did White Sox Security alter in any way the crime scene once it was determined at least one shot was fired? Will the public get a full public accounting as to what occurred? Will the Chicago White Sox be fined and/or sanctioned for their failure to uphold security standards required in their lease? Will consequences escalate, up to and including evicting the Chicago White Sox, should one or more shootings occur inside the current stadium? Which organization, when and who made and or communicated the decision to continue playing after the CPD requested the game be suspended? White Sox Code of Conduct: "It is illegal for anyone to enter or attempt to enter the ballpark with a firearm, regardless of permit."

It is day nine since Chris & Tony's palace coup took place. Chris Getz not only remains employed by the Chicago White Sox, but is actually the front runner at a promotion in this dystopian backwater scum laden cesspool. Fire Chris Getz immediately, if not sooner.

Chris Getz' two most significant hires with the White Sox were Omar Vizquel to manage "Project Birmingham" and Wes Helms to manage Charlotte. Not only should he not be promoted, he should have been fired before Rick Hahn or Kenny Williams. Cased Closed

Howard Pizer is the most senior White Sox Employee/Officer under Jerry but rarely speaks and few fans even know he exists. Among Jerry's current Crony Wack Pack, Scott Reifert probably makes most sense introducing Chris. I would love to see Hawk introduce Chris as Chris' tenure will most likely mirror Hawk's though much longer. I don't see Jerry going through this hiring process again in his late 90s - 100s.

I foolishly spent seven hours, between the time before I went to bed and until I woke up and found out about Boob's text. It was the best night sleep as a Sox fan since September 29-30, 2020 after Lucas and the Sox won Game 1, a few weeks before firing Ricky and hiring Tony which led to Boycott 2.0.

Unless this person is a crony or relative of Jerry, they might be fired for accurately reporting on the team.

Yes Chris Getz has to kiss Jerry's as each Monday. And Tuesday, And Wednesday. And so forth and so on. And Pedro has to kiss Getz' ass and Jerry's ass each and everyday.

Yes, he works for MLB.com, previously the Nationals. Remember when Jerry was so cheap, he continued to use the bullshit COVID as an excuse for Jason and Steve to not travel with the team despite the fact a majority of the teams were sending their broadcast teams to cover the games? Len and DJ covered the team during the same period (for months), because Jerry doesn't own WMVP or pay for their travel costs. That said, in this instance it may be a case of Merkin being on vacation, having planned time off not to travel this road trip.

Isn't Daryl Boston both under the first base coach (baserunning Sosa) and also coaches OFers defensively (Colas)? He has never been held accountable for anything. Video of the play here: https://www.mlb.com/gameday/white-sox-vs-orioles/2023/08/29/716800/final/summary/all That may be the case now, but they were talking about before last week, KW Jr. was transferred earlier this year to be an assistant to his dad, a change from his prior role in player development.

Jerry and Al have football acumen. Jerry wants to interfere but brings nothing positive to the table.

I'm giving Grifol the finger if I'm Bryan Shaw. The guy is used too much as it is. I don't like that Grifol stopped using position players to pitch since April/May.

I misread Getz for Grifol. He probably can identify talent better than Hahn, in terms of draft / FAs, but I have no idea if he has any competence beyond that. They need to accumulate solid prospects, make a lot of claims and churn the ML roster to try to flip guys and get more. What I can see happening is Jerry and therefore Getz will try to half ass contend like 2009-2016 and 2022-2023, waste time, possibly prospects and international slot money, to try to sell tickets and win 81 games.

But can he develop anyone? I rather have Ricky or someone like him that can motivate players, relay fundamentals, bring young players along and give them confidence. There is little to no evidence Pedro can do that.

I'm just listening to music, web surfing, and glancing periodically at SoxTalk and Gameday. And that's the ballgame.

Firing Hahn and Kenny after the deadline was stupid. Either let the clowns finish the season and do a real search for a real GM after the season, or fire their asses in April/May and hire a real GM among the more limited out of a current job pool. The Sox regularly make the worst decision possible, many times unfathomable, such as the TLR hire, and Thursday the Getz hire.

The primary rule change was a team could pull their revokable player waiver after the trade deadline and negotiate a trade, whereas now a player can be pulled back, but a trade cannot be negotiated (either the team allows the team to claim the player, or revokes the waiver and retains). With the new rules, it's unlikely a team would revoke the waiver since they are trying to get another team to claim the player and contract. https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/trade-waivers-aug-31-deadline

Yes, this was more like deferred compensation than a typical "mutual option", the way it reads on Cot's Contracts made me believe the Sox owed nothing if they accepted the $12M option and he declined. I posted what I found from Forbes an hour ago confirming the $4M is guaranteed even if the team wants the option and he declines. I don't believe this is how a typical mutual option works.

Cease is a better hitter than Lee.

Pretty sure a few random dudes on Lower Wacker Drive would be an upgrade over Getz and Grifol. How do you bunt for the second out, let alone with one of your hottest hitters of late, to get to Lee? Unexplainable stupidity.

Yes, between the pitch count up and third time through, and what's left of the bullpen, thought the lead would end after the second hit allowed this inning.

Jake has slowed down recently (.549 OPS last 7 games), but hope he settles in and has a good September.

Stuff isn't sticky no more is the likely scenario.

I know @CaliSoxFanViaSWside was interested prior to the Williams Hahn firing of Kenny Williams Jr. role with the team. On the James Fox podcast, they stated Kenny Williams Jr. was reassigned this season to the role of special assistant to the EVP, i.e. Kenny Williams, and is or will be out now that Kenny is gone. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/futuresox-podcast-kenny-williams-and-rick-hahn-are/id850054474?i=1000626041218

Bill Veeck was the owner of Cleveland when Larry Doby was signed. He may have been thinking of when the Sox hired him as manager in 1978, but Frank Robinson was hired in Cleveland in 1974.
