Our Lips are Sealed

The House of Reinsdorf does not take kindly to leaks, which could mean White Sox great Frank Thomas is in a heap of trouble.  Possibly thinking he was a journalist instead of  belonging to a cult, aka the HofR, Thomas reported on TV the other day that he had a conversation with Sox GM Rick Hahn, who let slip that the team was leaning in the direction of not calling up top-prospect Luis Robert this September.

According to yesterday’s Sun-Times, the team went into spin mode Thursday and sent out an email “to reiterate” that, “No decisions have been made yet on September call-ups.”  The “brain trust,” and I used that term with a healthy dose of irony, is going to wait until the season ends for Triple-A Charlotte before finalizing call-ups.

Really?  What kind of major-league organization waits so long to decide?  None that I can think of.  But I can think of a major-league team that would rather lie about its intentions rather than let the media report on it first.  Can you?
