Lip Man 1 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 The good news is that by Memorial Day we will probably be able to close the book on the season and not have to concern ourselves with the team. Also maybe Grifol will be fired by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's seemingly looking like Cease may NOT be traded...and if Fedde is decent and Soroka can be healthy...sure they can improve off of last years god awful. I am more optimistic than most on this board, so will be fine until the inevitable 5+ game losing streak. Then it's back to complaining. The GameThreads will welcome your enthusiasm and equally embrace your negativity after that 5+ losing streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no desire to fly somewhere, spend a lot of money on what figures to be another season where they lose anywhere from 90-100 games.

Oh, without a doubt I wouldn't spend money on a flight to go. I would just go to local baseball whether it's MLB, MiLB, college or high school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy anything that comes out in the media in general from any team source. They only let out what they want you to know. If it comes from a player, it's usually the same or a disgruntled one. Maybe working too many years in the industry has made me cynical but there is too much going on behind the scene that the fans and media never hear about that really skews anything reported.

Remember how he was going to mold last year’s team into a winner and then after the season when he was a proven loser, he backtracked and said he didn’t like the team? Now he’s saying he loves the team again, that Getz put together. Guy is full of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe anyone in the organization pays heed to Grifol, beyond players forced to listen to him to secure playing time. Pedro is only here in 2024 because Jerry doesn't want to pay the candidate "he was blown away by" for two years of his three year deal to stay at home. Hopefully there is some actual thoughtful consideration Sox fans haven't seen since the Gaston vs. Guillen decision before hiring the next White Sox manager.

I"ve seen this year after year with the Royals except for that 2-3 year window where they were great. The Royals talk a great game in spring training then by mid May are 15 out and done. Or early May. That's the upcoming fate of our Sox. We stink Who is our SS this year, Lopez? LOL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Those good feelings are for fans of other teams, were Sox fans. I want to read how we'll set records for losing. That's how we demand coverage of our team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bob Nightengale claims consensus, it has historically meant that Jerry made the call, though Hahn appeared excited for Grifol. Similar language was used after the Tony La Russa hire and other White Sox debacles over the years. Quote “You’ve heard me say over the last several years on major decisions, that it’s about consensus, that it’s a conversation between the chairman, Kenny and myself and ultimately we come to a conclusion together,” Hahn said. https://theathletic.com/2170002/2020/10/29/rick-hahn-didnt-get-his-man-in-white-sox-search-but-he-got-tony-la-russa/?amp=1 Edited February 2 by South Side Hit Men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after that, I did think that Hahn chose Grifol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn was a loyal employee and a yes man for a long long time. He should have been fired before the Sale trade was ever made, but good on him for getting a nice fat paycheck for another 7 years. Good for him, terrible for Sox fans. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
