I suddenly want MLB to keep the rule requiring relievers to face at least three hitters.

I feel bad for this country the White Sox, but this is tremendous content.

Hahn quits and he replaces Theo if he walks after 2021? Or am I drunk?

Is this confirmation that Michael Reinsdorf has saved the Bulls from his dad?

we can only hope

 

i'm going to worry that if he's still alive the next time they get good, he swoops in to hire 90 year old phil jackson to yell at everyone to shoot more 2s

So like how do I become a buddy of Reinsdorf's? Seems like it has some great perks.

Maybe...he's always been more hands on with the Sox and has made it clear that they are his preferred team over the Bulls. I believe his pre-2005 quote was that he would trade all 6 Bulls championships for 1 White Sox World Series win. So it makes sense that he delegated the day to day to Michael Reinsdorf several years ago but is still pushing these major decisions for the Sox.

[Outshined_One]

Listening to Rick Hahn during the press conference was just painful. It was abundantly clear he was not happy with the hiring and constantly used the passive voice in describing the decision process while offering half-hearted deflections regarding Reinsdorf's meddling in this process. It was almost like watching a hostage video.

 

I actually like the team he built and the White Sox were a legitimately enjoyable team to follow throughout the season, but this feels like such a step in the wrong direction.

That’s just standard old white man talk regardless of his employer.

I feel bad for young White Sox players.

 

It's like Rinesdorf decided he needed an overseer. This is probably one of the worst managerial decisions since the Cubs hired Dusty.

Whoa, for as much as Dusty deserves flak, this hiring is on a whole other level than any of the teams who hired Dusty, let alone the Cubs.

[jersey cubs fan]

Dusty was the wrong guy at the wrong time, but he was a perfectly legitimate candidate for a lot of teams (that weren't wholly dependent upon the dominance of young arms). Dusty was hot off a run of great success. He was also in his mid-50s, more than 20 years younger than LaRussa is now.
