Rick Hahn is shouldering the blame for the Chicago White Sox's slow start to the season.

The White Sox are 7-19 and in the midst of an eight-game losing streak.

"Put it on me," Hahn said. "It's the job. It's the absolute gig. ... It sure as heck isn't on Pedro [Grifol] and this coaching staff."

The general manager was asked what his message is to upset fans after such a terrible start to the season. The team ranks 25th in scoring and 29th in ERA.

"They're not alone," Hahn answered. "We're upset. We're feeling every emotion in the book from rage to disappointment. We've done the exact opposite of what we set out to do, in terms of regaining our fans' confidence and trust."
