To include all of the other stuff that tweaks the media is just petty bulls*** from an organization that sucks right now. Its just a twitter account though. Its not like its the FO official public statement about the Cubs winning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, some of the tweets last week about not remembering 2005 were funny. In this case, when the Sox are congratulating the Cubs, they should have left it as a simple congratulations.

footlongcomiskeydog Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 My real concern is will we ever see another World Series Championship on the South Side of Chicago? It's been 11 years since 05. 11 years can snowball into 30 or 40 very quickly. I have no confidence in the clown college that is currently running the show at 35th and Shields and its tough to see any light at the end of tunnel. Rick Hahn should be forced to wear a dunce hat to the Winter meetings. Dude has been in over his head since day 1. Other thing is that this Cub team isn't going away anytime soon. They have an elite core and will be playing baseball every October for the next 4-5 years. The Sox couldn't even make the playoffs in 06 and were a last place team in 07. Theo and company will not allow that to happen on the North Side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things can change in baseball. The Sox were never poised for a dynasty run. How quickly things collapsed after 06 is proof of that. I just see the Sox going the route of San Diego or Milwaukee unfortuntely. An irrelevant franchise who is forever stuck in the middle.

He resigned after 2005 for some reason and then came back as VP of baseball operations after 2006, where he was until 2011 when he left to take over the Cubs. He was only GM for 1 of their titles but he was there for 2 of them and had his fingerprints on the team that won the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 The fact of the matter is that the Cubs will be good next year again, and maybe for quite a few years. But the real concern should be that an AL Central team has been in the World Series 4 of the past 5 years...and none of those teams have been the White Sox. You would think that would be a wake-up call to the organization. Truly compete or burn it down and rebuild. No more half-assing this s***.

Great pitching staff entering their primes, shut down closer and a "get it done" offense became elite the following year. They were the favorites for half the year in 2006. Then they fell apart. The Cubs pitching staff can fall apart just as easily. It's baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
