  1. Knowing Reinsdorf, I would be surprised if all those people aren’t FOF getting Xmas cards and home visits once a week. All the kids play together, and uncle Jerry knows them all by their names and has knowledge of their report cards.
  2. That would mean the Sox are seeking to fire people. Q theory fails. White Sox FO people have lifelong jobs like SCOTUS.
  3. FWIW, the Ozzie report came from a radio guy that didn’t cite any source other than, thats the fact jack.
  4. His agent woulddirectly inform the other teams, and this would be filtered into mainstream media. Happens all the time.
  5. Espada would likely take his name out of the running for other jobs publicly.
  6. Reinsdorf is worse at this than we thought. Jerking people around like that bringing people in for job interviews that have no shot would make him a MLB sociopath.
  7. Unless Espada went into the corner of Hahns office and took a dump, or commented on his wife’s ass, doubt he actually did anything that literally disqualified him. Sorry to say for NorthBob.
  8. Social media will be the alpha and omega of the human race’s destruction.
  9. As I mentioned, they may as well give the fans something here, all things being equal. They owe the fans one, and lets be honest, other than LaRussa being an obvious mistake, nobody can predict how well a manger will perform when it counts.
  10. He can’t know who will NOT be hired any more that another can know who WILL be hired. Neither of them can say either statement.
  11. I don’t know, sometimes I think it’s better to pull the trigger on guys that are in demand and just get a guy you like instead of 6 thousand interviews with 6 thousand guys, and risk losing the guy you liked (most). It is never going to be an exact science, and I don’t think teams increase their odds for success by trying to over-science the process. Don’t make obvious mistakes like hiring elderly drunks though.
  12. Unfortunately the fanbase suffered immensely for this owner’s mistake. I give TLR credit for drinking the hemlock, and taking blame. That speaks to his recovering integrity. Yes, allusions in this statement. ?
  13. ? Honestly, even if all the Cubans weren’t any good, you don’t want to burn that bridge either. I like Ozzie, but he likely can’t overcome the Castro thing in this organization.
  14. I’m guessing that Thome has an understanding that at some point, he has a shot at it. Of course it being off schedule and the absolute worst timing is when Jerry would make good on it.
  15. They would not pick up on Reinsdorf’s meddling potential
  16. Thome would be another Jerry Reinsdorf intervention on the process. I gotta believe that in order to retain a minimum amount of faith in WillHahn.
  17. I think the Bulls had a 3 headed monster too. Both franchises have a similar funk over the last couple decades for sure. But it’s a distinct funk. If you have funk, be distinct with it I always say. However, managers/coaches seem to he held in higher esteem on the Sox side with the old man. Setting aside Phil Jackson.
