Chicago White Sox... The thread.

You mistakenly clicked your italics button.

Touche.

Fixed. And thank you.

Getz would be far and away the worst potential replacement.

The guy who has been in charge of player development during a time where several key pieces of the rebuild FAILED to develop. THAT is who you want in charge?

It astonishes me how Jerry continues to justify allowing execs to fail upward.

I would say that if Getz is the guy, I'm done, but to be real, I'm already done until this franchise gives me something, ANYTHING, to indicate they actually give a crap about changing their CLEARLY flawed processes.

I’ll never be done. I’m an ND fan. Colts fan. Sox fan. On some level I must just be a masochist.

None of it ends until Jerry is out of the picture.

The team is worth $2B and is in the third largest market in America. Have to hope for a good buyer that comes in, gives a crap and hires good people that are competent to run the team.

Just an arrogant prick. So many have known it for years and all the last few days has done was confirm it.

Cuban would be the best, but Jerry hates him

He's attempted to get in multiple times. It isn't going to happen.

There is no rock bottom with Jerry.

Sucks for them. Quite a ride the Angels have had.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Most of those guys will get snapped up pretty quick by the WC teams. I doubt any of them are still available by the time a division leader‘s spot comes up in the waiver wire rotation.

 

[Plankton]

No shock to many, but the Sox named Chris Getz as SVP and GM.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

BREAKING: terrible owner hires unqualified person to run baseball team.

The ratio on this Tweet is already what it should be.

 

[Southside Sully]

Jerry of course won't face the media I am sure of it.. He thinks he owes no one anything, especially the fans. Fans hopefully boycott completely now.

 

[irishnd31]

And did they happen to get a phone number for this young lady? Id be willing to bet that a few on IE would have an accidental discharge with this classy little philly. She sounds like a great time. Imagine what else you could hide in her belly fat...

I may start taking my kids to Cubs games.

He's done everything possible to completely alienate everyone. Notre Dame Football and the White Sox are the two teams my grandfather supported when he came to America from Italy. For as much as they mean to our family, I could really care less about the White Sox now. It's sad but it's what the owner wants, so I'm giving it the satisfaction it warrants. Not going to games, watching games, spending any money on gear, nothing.

Season ticket holders had better dare not bitch and moan. They're part of the problem. There is absolutely zero reason for anyone to commit time and money to this baseball team as long as Jerry is in charge. I could really give a shit where he moves....Nashville, the suburbs, downtown. As long as he has control of the team nothing is going to be better. So move.

This is not a serious franchise and hasn't been for a long time.

This is as bad as they are going to be for a while, and they're pretty good at the moment. They have some studs coming up in their farm system and smart people running the show. The braintrust left behind when Theo stepped down was there to make sure the guardrails stayed in place for them not to totally fall off.

 

[NDFAN420]

They really dodged a bullet there by giving that guy a shot, am I right?

 

[Crazy Balki]

He doesn't owe anyone anything.

But so do the fans.

And yes, I am in full on boycott mode. No watching, no purchasing gear, no attending games.

 

[MacIrish75]

I’ll just stay local and get my baseball fix through FW TinCaps games. I was planning to hold out and give it a shot until word leaked that Getz would be the replacement.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

They didn't do any kind of search. No interviews. They just hired another person from their failed front office of their failed franchise that already calls Lord Jerry "sir."

Promotion from within. Again. Within about a week of the other two bozos being fired.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

The Cleveland Guardian Angel Sox

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Was the former GM not to be named Kenny Williams or Rick Hahn maybe?

LOL.

 

[luckofirish8]

Jerry is trying to kill attendance. It's the preparing to move play. Even if he has no real intention to move, he has to keep up the facade for leverage.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I don't hate the Barfield hire.

Bannister and Watson seems like a typical Sox move. Former KC Royals people.
