I'm out before I say something insane. Don't like our team. My god.

My god. Now Sergio is getting pasted. Our team is so f***ing frustrating to watch on many nights.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ May 21, 2011 -> 02:53 AM) We wouldn't be here if we walked Kemp like we should have in the first... How many teams walk guys in the first inning. We wouldn't be here if Sergio had thrown some sliders instead of a meaty fastball to some s*** hitter. Yes I love Sergio. But damn.

It's tough to want Sergio to be perfect, but damn ... we've been playing so much better and still f*** it up with 2 outs in the ninth. Geezus.

Gordon, swing the bat young man. You strike out a lot.

I know it's still "early" in some people's minds but it would be s***ty to drop a game on Cleveland and fall 11 back in loss column after picking up 2 games on them in 2 days. How bout a walkoff win. We're in our home stadium.

Beckham with a gapper maybe? Too bad we can't pinch run for AJP.

Do the Sox ever blow anybody out? Seems like we have close games every night out the last couple weeks but I may be forgetting some games. How bout getting some insurance runs once in a while White Sox?? s***ty pop up by Rios. Horrible effort.

Bad at bat by Carlos. Had the 3-1 count let a cookie go by.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2011 -> 02:42 AM) Terrible pitch selection of 2-1 fastball to a guy that showed he can hit a fastball. Horrible call for that pitch. If he sticks with sliders, we win.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 21, 2011 -> 02:29 AM) Or...a pitcher making 4 million dollars could get a few outs. Ozzie doesn't make the team, KW does. Thornton is what Ozzie has, so he uses him. Can't pitch Crain in place of Thornton every night...otherwise there's no point in having Thronton. Bottom line, that wasn't crappy managing, it was good managing, he took out the wrong guy at the right time. Exactly. So now we don't even use Matt? He's on the team.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 21, 2011 -> 03:25 AM) Great pitching by Crain. Crappy managing by Ozzie. Are you serious? Matt's our setup man and Crain bailed us out. Some people never blame the f***ing players!

Blame the leadoff walk and Matt for sucking again. Not Oz.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 21, 2011 -> 03:23 AM) Yes Santos is our closer. He can't pitch this early in the game.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 21, 2011 -> 03:22 AM) So Ozzie thought that Thornton was gonna face two lefties, instead, surprise, he faces one and fails to get any righties out. And yet many people were fine with him being our closer cause his stuff is so nasty and it allegedly didn't matter that he's a lefty.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 20, 2011 -> 07:01 PM) It's not funny. It's stupid. Sorry to be blunt. Stupid? Cmon. it's nice gesture. This proves i can start a thread that gets some responses. Yes!

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:42 AM) As an owner Im not sure if I could pay a coach millions of dollars to see nonsense. How can Durant not touch the ball on a possession, insanity. That is maddening when he doesn't get the ball, but arguably Brooks did a nice job again tonight, going with the subs down the stretch. Good thing Collison didn't miss those final two free throws of his, that 10 point lead was fading quickly.

QUOTE (Real @ May 20, 2011 -> 05:50 AM) and 10 back in the loss column. that's how bad it was for this team to start the season like they did. they just took two straight from cleveland, and won 9 of the last 12, and we're still 10 back in the loss column. I agree, but nothing we can do about it now. Had we gotten swept, I'd have been all for starting to sell the pieces now. We'll see if maybe our little sweep sends Cleveland on a little slide. 10 back is a lot though.

From tonight's Associated Press coverage of the great win over Cleveland. "Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said the club plans to recognize Dodgers pitcher Jon Garland and infielder Juan Uribe when they come to town Friday to begin an interleague series. Both were key members of the team’s 2005 World Series championship. ..." I say that's great. I'd like the see the highlight montage you know they are going to come up with. If you go to the game, tape it please and tell us where we can see it.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:49 AM) It was important, and they done good. That should be the final word on the matter IMO. That's a great thread ender.

Good. I'd take another 9-3 starting next game.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:22 AM) greg, stop saying "baby." lol. OK.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 20, 2011 -> 02:56 AM) Teahen just appears to be the epitome of "loser". Losing just follows him around. He looks the part too...just a dude that walks around with a black cloud hanging over his head bringing everyone down with him by just entering a clubhouse. Sad...seems like a nice guy...but he's just a L-O-S-E-R. LOL at how this thread is becoming angry. We won folks! Keep winning series, baby steps back to .500?

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 20, 2011 -> 02:45 AM) Small series, # of games-wise, but big series in terms of outcome. You lose these two, yer 12 out. You win 'em both, yer 8 out. That is a big, four game difference right there, not only in the standings, but in the state of mind for everyone involved. A rather good two weeks under our belts now, so hopefully we are slowly but surely on our way to bigger and better things! Well said. Can't complain about the sweep. And Cleveland was hot. Hopefully the Sox will remain fired up for the NL this year as they were last year. One at a time, baby.

Nice to put Cleveland in its place, so to speak, after the Tribe bludgeoned KC in KC.
