Thanks to Hahn and TLR for making me dislike a good story in Leury by holding onto him way too long after a good trade to get him.

too much golf.

you need to stop scoreboard watching. Unless the Sox can get to 88 wins it doesn't matter. We're on pace for 80.

could you combine the cubs' and sox' lineups to make a cromulent team?

this feels like the stretch that will break the camel's back as far as contending goes.

this place is dead. jeeze.

That draft class is looking great so far.

That's insane. Reverse ageism.

it all adds up. it's the sort of thing dumb teams do. for all we fucking know the dude really is a 270/330/430 MLB hitter right now, especially before "the book" gets out on him. And yet we'll never know because in a season that is 50/50 at best of being a success we'd rather trot out our below replacement vet.

Starting the service clock on the highest upside guy in the system above A ball just to not use him (when you had a much lower ceiling guy already in AAA via Yolbert) is one of the dumbest fucking roster moves of the season, and that's saying quite a bit.

You gotta fucking play him first. He's burning service time, get him in the god damn lineup.

Yep, was thinking of that scene as well. What a stupid ass org when the fucking GM is cucked to the owner and his drinking buddy.

I'm too old for this shit man. They've been shitting on me for going on 30 years now. It's enough. It's realizing the same fucked up leadership is still in place no matter how many promising young players were brought into the rebuild.

FUCK THIS. FUCK THIS FRANCHISE. YOU FUCKING ASSHATS THAT HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOUR FANS! Rick Hahn is a cucked ass b**** just cashing checks. Have some self respect and resign.

I found this, sounds like they will have to cut him (any team would honestly) but will be on the hook for his medical expenses: The second type of injured list is the 60-day injured list. A player on this list can be replaced both on the active roster and the Major League roster during the regular season and post-season. However, he must return to the Major League roster during the off-season if his team wants to retain his services for the future. This is used for more serious injuries that require many weeks of healing. Some players who are in fact retired are put on the 60-day injured list for insurance purposes; this was the case of Albert Belle, who spent two full seasons on the Baltimore Orioles injured list after announcing his retirement in spring training 2001 because of a degenerative hip injury. This move allowed the Orioles to claim reimbursement for a portion of Belle's guaranteed salary from an insurance company, but it also meant that they had to put Belle's name back on the Major League roster after the 2001 and 2002 seasons, thus losing a spot for an actual player. Just a terrible break for Danny. He was on the verge of securing a future as a MLB utility man either in Chicago or somewhere else and now I'd say the over under on future career PA is probably something like 200 instead of 500-800. He's losing the prime 18-24 month window he had to accrue time and get some chances.

maybe if they spend 30% of the payroll on relievers things will turn around.

I kinda feel this season is a wash. It's past the point of getting healthy and nobody other than Vaughn is really having a better than projected season position player wise. Hahn will stand pat or do some dumb shit i feel at the deadline.

dad gumit.

prefer to trade the pick honestly.

i'm watching the draft and I see in the box we have 6 hits with no runs, including two doubles. impressive.

Hold up Jerry Krause was assigned brazil???

of manure?

too bad our "ace" shit the bed.

You have to fire the entire training staff in the offseason. What an utter embarrassment.
