QUOTE (fathom @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) If they do rebuild, do you trust this front office to find and develop players? No way. And that's the biggest problem.

LOL!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2015 -> 07:26 PM) It will be interesting to see what moves are made by the time this road trip ends There will be no significant moves.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 25, 2015 -> 07:25 PM) Despite the game's results thus far, Steve Stone has been particularly good tonight. Everyone is better without Hawk.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 25, 2015 -> 07:22 PM) And who granted that contract extension? Jerry Reinsdorf. The manager and coaches are just the symptoms, gents. The problem lies at the top. Yep.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ May 25, 2015 -> 07:01 PM) Another pop out. I'm all for steverson getting s***canned too The whole organization should be canned.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 25, 2015 -> 07:01 PM) Then JR deserves 5000 fans a night! He doesn't deserve that much at the prices he charges for tickets, unless they're all in the $7.00 seats.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 25, 2015 -> 06:58 PM) If this road trip is a disaster I cannot see any reason for Ventura to survive. Jerry Reinsdorf is the reason.

Hahn and Ventura should be fired tonight. But they will be here for years to come.

Now Avi is out.

Sometimes you just have to laugh.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2015 -> 02:48 PM) It's a strange situation, as almost all of Hahn's moves have made sense on paper. For one reason or another, a lot of them haven't worked out so far. The most logical explanation is the players just have underachieved significantly to their ability. At some point people have to be held accountable for the results of their decisions and efforts. But not in this organization.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2015 -> 02:41 PM) The same AAA level where Leury Garcia was close to hitting .300 a couple of days ago? Goes to show you just how awful Davidson has become. Ah yes, Davidson, whom Hahn evaluated as being the Sox starting 3B for many years to come. This organizations sucks at identifying, evaluating and developing talent. It starts with ownership and goes down to all levels. Cronyism and favoritism is no way to run an organization.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 24, 2015 -> 02:33 PM) Everyone was happy with the deals. People wanted Melky, LaRoche, Jeff, and Emilio By "people" I assume you mean fans. Fans don't have the responsibility nor do they get paid to evaluate talent. The GM and scouts need to be accountable for that.

QUOTE (harkness @ May 24, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) Trading the manager would be the start... I'm sorry but I could tell after the year where we had to win one game to win the playoffs and we couldn't that Ventura didn't have "It" Now we go out and spend money and his nice guy lethargy still clings to this bunch of losers. It's obvious. I don't trust JR or Hahn hiring the next manager either.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 24, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) Thing is, every one of those guys will be movable for some good pieces. Young pieces. Hire Bill James or a clone of his as a consultant and make some deals for hitters who will take a walk and can catch the ball. I sure as hell don't trust Hahn's judgement making any more deals.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 24, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) I'm sure the marketing team is livid over Hawk and Stone telling it like it is The marketing team sucks too.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 24, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) Now Hawk should go around the Sox diamond after saying that. Gillaspie can't catch; Lexi is OK, our former 2B couldn't catch; Abreu can't catch; Flowers can't catch; melky is average at best; Eaton is a bust this year; Avi is average. We can't catch. I agree on all except Avi being average - he can't catch either.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 24, 2015 -> 02:21 PM) Could he buy the team? Any rumors? No rumors - just my wishful thinking. Sox need baseball people running the organization.

Hey, look! A home run!!

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 24, 2015 -> 02:09 PM) Catching has been a problem for this team and you wonder who is making personnel decisions. I always throught Flowers was a great back up catcher and we should have kept AJ Perz. The management obviously saw something else and I just wonder if it was a team budget decision that clouded their judgment. We need some fiery types on this team to put a charge in folks Robin felt threatened by AJ.

I wonder if Nolan Ryan can get enough money together to buy the White Sox. The only way this team turns it's future around is to have good baseball people in ownership. The organization is putrid from the ownership to the front office to the manager, coaches players and minor league system.

Sox clown show continues...

Ugh

Great play by Sanchez. Sox need more of that.
