I hate strikeouts. Nice at bat Colas.

Lance Lynn is no Tom Seaver. He gives up a lot of home runs.

Glad to see Sox are playing Colas every day. He should play every day case closed. And not just cause he got a hit there but I do like Remilard. He should play every day at 2B (over Elvis) for sure unless Sox acquire somebody. Remilard at least appears to try to play the game the right way IMO. p.s. i realize he's just another guy but I like him.

Hard to believe anybody would pay to see the Sox play the rest of the season into next season. To be a Sox season ticket holder you just must love the ballpark experience. It's such bad baseball I can't imagine more than a few people in Chicago forking out money to watch Sox baseball. Maybe people have much more money than I do and it's no big deal to throw away $$ on the White Sox.

The Sox really get boatraced when they play good teams. I despised playing the Central that often in the past, but it kept Tony at .500. These Central teams are at a different level than real teams. Braves, Rays, many others just rule the White Sox.

Big Hurt really critical of the Sox on the postgame with Oz. He wants young guys who want to play (like Colas and the Reds young guys). The insinuation was most of these guys don't care. Not sure which Sox are culprits. I'd get rid of Timmy and Moncada for starters. You have to wonder if some of the guys look like they don't care (Tim, Eloy Robert) sometimes cause of our questionable medical staff. Sox are always getting hurt since that longtime trainer retired. Anyhow it was great to see Hurt and Ozzie ripping this gawd-awful team. Pedro and the hitting coach and pitching coach need to be the first to take a hike with Timmy and Moncada and Grandal though. I have no idea of these guys personalities but Burger and Vaughn "might" care they just seem overanxious sometimes. Sheets needs a change of scenery. The pitchers ... I wouldn't keep any of em cept liam and Cease. Need a new pitching coach and clean house. Teach Cease to stop walking people.

Vaughn has 340 at bats this season. More than 50 RBIs. Not too shabby. Grandal with the lol double play. He is so awful. .250 hitter, little production RBi wise.

Remember I predicted a 7-1 loss for Game one of this sure to be a bummer series. 7-0 or 7-1 still sounds about right.

Fathom coulda drilled that pitch that Harris smoked for a 2B. What a hittable pitch.

I sort of like Remi but what the heck was he doing? Why throw the bat when the pitch is close for sure? predictably next pitch they ring him up for being disrespectful to blue. Sad.

As expected this series is gonna be ugly (capn obvious). Surprised it's only 4-0 although that's a decent lead for the Braves. Atlanta has won 5 divisional titles in a row; I always hoped the Sox could do that in the weak Central. i had major hopes of dominance after 05. But we didn't build on success; our team rested on laurels, Oz got cocky and all that and boom. We stink. Nice throw by Colas though. I liked.

If they did it again there'd be the exact same result. Probably worse. I'm thinking it'd be a really really bad night.

i know managers don't matter but Pedro deserves way more than a 3 percent vote. My guess is he is somewhere between Bevington and the old LaRussa. Bring back Renteria and apologize to him for dumping him.

Can this guy get anybody out? He gonna start with the big league club?

The reason I brought up Ozzie now is Sox have a first-year manager and if we all agree Pedro is a disaster you have to replace him. It'd be inappropriate to name one of his Stooge assistants so that leaves Oz or AJP as interim the rest of the season. Or Stone. And I figure Oz is best. If he does well and appears to behave himself, hire him in October for next year; one year deals.

They had to pay the Royals cash for this guy? Wow. KC must really need some cash for the petty cash drawer.

I disagree. Ozzie is kind of Chicago or nothing. Other cities don't get him. He doesn't fit in other cities. Like him or not, Ozzie is Mr .White Sox. He was a joyful player for the Sox for many years. You never hear about him loafing as a player. His players seemed to like him too. Sox used to be a likeable team when he was skipper. I wonder why.

Don't see what making him interim would hurt. Except Pedro is probably making a good dollar and that'd be some money down the drain. And Ozzie would want some good money to manage for a couple months.

Not fair assessment. If what this thread says is true that guys like Moncada and Eloy have quit on the organization (Timmy plays with no 'joy' either IMO, then you need Ozzie to come in and do what Ozzie does. Just cause he quit with 9 days left in the season when he was gonna get fired or move on in 9 days anyway, doesn't change that he's a good manager. This team needs a forceful manager and also some veterans who command a bit of respect (even Abreu seemed kinda passive in his last year regarding waking up some dormant to dead teammates). Sox need Ozzie (as interim rest of season) and they need a few vets who deeply care (Konerkos, Fisks). Maybe there are no players who truly care anymore to acquire.

I don't know if it was a great return in all the trades when our team has been pathetic following the trades.

I am envisioning something like a 7-1 loss in Game One. Would be typical Sox. We shall see.

I can't believe he got hurt in the HR Derby. Tightness in calf or whatever. That's the type of injury he's had before when he pulls up hustling out slow rollers.

The baseball gods must hate the Sox. Robert gets hurt -- awful news. And the Sox happen to open the second half against the Braves? One big LOL. Can you say sweep? That sweep should assure more bad chemistry and zombielike baseball for the rest of the month.

It sure seems like now would be the time for Jerry to move the team if he ever wished to do so. I doubt there'd even be much uproar. Everything the team does is blah or inconsequential.

That's a really good crowd. Probably a good bunch of Cardinals fans too i'd guess.
