Chick Mercedes

No, It really was a great day. It was a great day for a couple of weeks. Everyone was sprawled out on the floor like clients in an opium den.

-His trades have looked short -He has a good eye for scrap heap pitching. other than that, I got nothing.

Absolutely. The reason you hire a Chris Getz is because he’s desperate for the position, and is completely malleable. Would Jerry ever in his life hire someone good that is used to being independent?

Oh yeah. Reinsdorf is a proven bad decision-maker. You go from proven bad, to… you’re telling me there’s a chance.

The problem for me, and I will stop saying this, are the implications. We wanted outside hires because the organization itself is so rotten. So, I lament that nothing has changed apparently. And Chris sadly acknowledges the state of the organization. I don’t mind hiring outsiders. You probably have to if you’re being thorough. Chances are the best talent is outside the organization just by the sheer odds. But Getz threw the organization and its people under the bus. Which it probably deserves to be. And this is his bus. That’s the problem. This is his bus. One day, this team will have arrived when it does not say we need outside people.

I would rather he do things holistically, and say he’s hiring the best people anywhere. If he cannot find good talent from within, then what are we doing here? It’s hopeless. Granted, maybe the best talent isn’t from within. But that means Getz doesn’t know how to hire at any level. He’s gonna bring in outsiders, great. Why does he need to? He just told you the people he assembled are garbage.

It’s ironic, not hypocritical. I don’t know if it’s correct at all. It seems rather an indictment of the organization itself. And how much success is bound to happen in that case by having some kind of rigid, at same time arbitrary approach? Getz is flailing here.

If you’re not moaning and groaning, pessimistic and jaded, there is something seriously wrong with you.

I would much rather Getz know how to hire and develop good talent from within. And that goes for prospects too. I don’t even understand the point. If they don’t know talent, none of this matters.

Anyone can say they want to win, but only the ones that bleed for winning truly want to win. That isn’t wanting to win. Not really. That’s just a small step higher than, “Doesn’t care at all”.

But then, they always do tear

Finding outfielders though…

If Jerry sells the team, that might matter

Remember that day when we all thought, finally the old man has relented. The Sox will finally start being run like the other teams. It was all bullshit.

The White Sox didn’t mismanage their way to being the worst team anyone alive has ever seen. But he didn’t help. It’s hard to be angry about any one particular thing as the scapegoat

I think we do, but I can’t be sure.

We had a set forward at some point?

What kind of experience does this guy have scouting. Sheesh

Wolkow not getting cheated at the plate

Last I heard Wolkow was striking out like Dave Kingman in between home runs

It’s going to work this time

Now that we are finally all on the same page on Moncada, I am filled with pride that Sox fans have been united at last. On everything. God bless America. Proud to be an American. Keep our troops safe.

The White Sox are good at losing. Playing into that Sox formula because they aren’t good at anything else is of little comfort if you asked me

That plan has worked so well for us

Crochet is definitely a player that never got hurt due to “overuse”. Now, I don’t mind shutting him down because the Sox aren’t playing for anything. But pitchers these days have less of a workload than they ever did. And get hurt more often.
