An equal combination of A, B, and C.

What does this team look like in an alternate timeline?
FloydBannister1983 replied to Tony's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Not much different happens with Hinch. Go back a few years earlier to an alternate timeline when the White Sox act like a professional organization and are wise enough to sign Bryce Harper when the biggest spenders could not. Imagine this organization with a player who sells jerseys and basically pays for his own contract with jersey sales. -
“Likely” is an overstatement.
-
It certainly seems that way. If I were a betting man that’s what I’d bet. They will probably win enough games to pick seventh or eighth in the 2025 season. Then, when they can’t pick in the top ten, they’ll lose 110.
-
That’s what this year should have been.
-
Getz has demonstrated no ability to pick up good prospects in trades. Hes been fleeced in every trade.
-
What’s the point? Getz couldn’t get anybody with a future.

Lou Brown from Major League.

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record

They did it!!!! First team to win fewer than four games in a month! https://x.com/jeff_grzybowski/status/1818287724153225301 -
Imagine if they wasted a year with a legit GM.

Schriffen’s “La Pantera RAWR!” Call

This. Just call the game. You don’t have to be Dick Vitale or even a homer like Hawk. Just call the game like you enjoy the game of baseball. -
Schriffen’s “La Pantera RAWR!” Call

Just can’t refrain from commenting though, huh? Couldn’t just read the thread title and say “It is a non issue, I shall not comment or even read it.” -
False. Ozzie Guillen was cheered at the end when he was diminished. Carlton Fisk. Paul Konerko. Jose Abreu. Harold Baines. You make these blanket statements that have no basis in reality. One difference. The aforementioned never antagonized managers.

Why don’t you write Jerry Manuel and ask him to hu he chased Thomas out of town? Or ask Kenny Williams why he called Thomas an ass? You act like fans are the only people doing this for no reason and here you have people close to him who don’t like him. Doesn’t that provide you any clues at all?
-
At least Thomas had the decency to become a full time DH. The sight of him diving for balls is like Jimenez climbing walls. Something neither of them had any business attempting.
-
I remember it as a foot injury as well.
-
And he got it from his dad because he was too young to know anything but thinks he knows more than you who was an adult during the era and went to 80% of the games.
-
Don’t get in the way of his misinformation.
-
Grandal may be a POS but he is a guy who is not a fan and dealt with Anderson daily who didn’t like Anderson either.
-
I’m not taking sides I’m just saying it’s not just fans who didn’t get along with the guy. Both Manuel and Williams had public feuds with him and the fans see this in the paper. The OP acts like fans boo in a vacuum. Sometimes true, not in Frank’s case.
-
Kenny Williams and Jerry Manuel had it out with Frank Thomas in their primes. Tim Anderson was isolated from teammates when it was announced he was an all star. Grandal slapped Anderson in his prime. Sox fans didn’t boo these guys in a vacuum.
