P.O. Sox: Will external hires cure White Sox’s ills? Will WBC cause others?
Unlock with Patreon
Jim, for the last 5 months or so I haven’t been getting email notices from Patreon about new content such as an ad-free podcast or notices about your seeking mailbag questions. I’ve tried turning off the email notifications for everything from Sox Machine and then turning them on again. Doesn’t help. The stuff doesn’t go to my junk folder. I check it every day. Is this something you can help with? Thanks.
Can you shoot me an email from the account you use so I can cross-check the info I can see on my side? jim@soxmachine.com
Alternatively, if your follow Josh and Jim at Twitter, they generally invite fans via Twitter to send their questions thru SM’s Patreon site.
The only external hire that would cure the Sox ills is Steve Cohen.
At first glance I thought the headline said “Eternal Hires….” Of course, the sentence does not quite make sense, but Rick Hahn and Kenny Williams do feel like “Eternal Hires” so I thought it was a non-sarcastic way of referring to them as a general group. So I tried to make sense of what Eternally Hiring RH and KW could do to cure Sox ills. So glad when I looked again to see the word was “External.” My brain almost broke trying to think of it the other way.
I think they’re closer to “terminal” than “eternal.”
