I didn't realize he has no walks. Maybe pitchers are coming rite at him believing he simply has no pop. I thought he'd have a good year.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 7, 2011 -> 07:44 AM) meh, they battled against a quality guy and nearly pulled it out. So if I read this thread correctly... The scouting is s***. The development is s***. The coaches are s***. The players are s***. The broadcasters are s***. The organization is s***. The prospects are all s***. The future is s*** s*** s***. Some of you guys should save bandwidth and just drive over to the Cell, drop trou and take a s***. You'll feel better. Scouting is s*** - I believe so, yes. Development is s*** - Definitely. Coaches are s*** - Uh, yes. Players are s*** - Yup. Broadcasters are s*** - Noppe; love them. Organization is s*** - Oh yes. Prospects are s*** - Not the ones we dealt. Future is s*** - Looks that way. We'll know more after the total firesale.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2011 -> 04:39 AM) Tonight was just an absoluteyl patetic display of managing by Ozzie. He's doing his best to force JR and KW to get rid of him. Why don't they just do it. The man will be fine. He can be a color analyst for the rest of the season and get another managing job at season's end. He will manage 40 years. Just won't be with us.

QUOTE (Cali @ May 7, 2011 -> 06:05 AM) They're not gonna lose 95+ games. They're gonna finish 82-80, 83-79 like always Never bad enough to get the #1 pick, never good enough to win the series (sans 05) always in the middle of the pack draft wise where they can never get that impact player, or they swing and miss and the impact player goes 4 picks after the Sox. Side note, if the Sox did ever get the #1 pick is there a doubt in anyone's mind they'd JaMarcus Russell it anyway? I think u are wrong this time. This is the year we lose, lose, lose. Look at how dead we continue to look. The M's, who are not a great team by any means, were all energetic, taking singles in the ninth to win it. The White Sox are a team with so many weaknesses it will be difficult to win any given night. This team will lose 95 games easy; I'd say over 100.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 7, 2011 -> 05:18 AM) The state of this franchise right now is frightening. A terribly bloated salary wise major league roster with flat-out bad, underachieving or past their prime guys. A deplorable minor league system that hasn't produced a f***ing thing in 10 years. Bad management, bad coaches, bad scouting, bad player development, etc (That was for you, Milk). Weren't the Blackhawks rated the worst pro sports organization a few years back? I think we're in the top 5 right now. You are correct, sir. This is the worst nightmare ever. I mean the season is over. Blow it up. What are they waiting for? I mean, seriously.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2011 -> 06:09 AM) Ozzie was expecting or playing for extra innings so he was saving Sale, Santos and Crain? LOL. Whatever, Ranger. Every loss at this point is just one more nail on the coffin. He should be managing every game like we're tied for the division lead with one week left in the season. The Indians finally lost another game...at this point, I don't want to trend neutral. Either we start making up ground or throw in the towel. I do believe the next 8 games will serve the ostensible purpose of defining itself as the final D.O.A. notice. Of course the next 8 games will do what you suggest. There's no way in hell this team is turning it around on a road trip. What are they waiting for in firing Ozzie? It's ridiculous. It's time. He's not going to manage the White Sox for 25 years like La Russa in St. Looie. Not gonna happen. It's unfortunate but that's the fact.

At least if they fire Ozzie there will be a different plot than we've seen.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2011 -> 05:58 AM) The biggest question is why Crain wasn't used in the 9th. Cause this horses*** start has screwed him up mentally. That's another reason he needs to be canned. He's grouping all these losses together and figures to go with Thornton since he looked like he was sort of "on." He's managing weirdly and must go for the betterment of the organization. Just fire him. What's the big deal? What's the holdup? Even Ozzie won't be surprised when he's canned. You better damn well believe Ozzie would be firing a manager off to this kind of start with this kind of payroll if he were GM.

I'd be willing to trade anybody at this point. I always resisted "rebuilding" but this team is going to lose 95 to 100 games I have no doubt about that so they might as well blow it up. This game was so predictable. Even in one where we play a fairly respectable game, you know the M's, given the final at bat, will win it with a run in either the eighth or ninth. But when we are at home, the last at bat never matters. Please fire some people and demote some players. This is unbearable.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 7, 2011 -> 05:48 AM) Complete game win for Felix...tip your cap. I will do that. Could you please get me a list of all the other starters who have shut us down? I'd like to be an equal-opportunity hat tipper. Many are deserving of that tip with this punchless piece of s*** team.

Funny thing is, I hate Pierre and didn't he get 2 hits? This team makes no sense ever.

That is hilarious that the only bright spot on the team, humber, will be demoted soon. Typical for our season.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 7, 2011 -> 05:41 AM) JR ain't gonna pay Ozzie almost two full years of pay for sitting on his ass as a non-White Sox employee. Sadly, that's the reason he won't be gone. QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 7, 2011 -> 05:44 AM) Isn't King Felix the reigning cy young? were you expecting a sweep of the M's? 1.) Jerry would rather have no fans in the stands I guess. 2.) Of course not, I'm 'expecting' a 1-8 road trip. I guess we might win 2 if we play real hard.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2011 -> 05:38 AM) Wow, someone needs to fire that arrogant piece of s***. Of course he should be fired and 3-4 guys sent down. Either our GM won't do it or the owner won't let him. Every night is the same. Sox might lose 100 games this year. Laugh all you want at that statement. This team can't win on the road and can't win at home.

LOL at making another team happy at our expense. LOL. Look at those happy Mariners. We send all those fans home happy.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2011 -> 05:34 AM) Hey, we expected to lose this game before it started, tip your caps to Felix. Why? Then I'd have to tip my cap to about 9 other pitchers who have shut the Sox down.

The highly predictable 1-8 roadtrip is well on its way to fruition.

One out and the M's actually are willing to hit singles in the bottom of the ninth, unlike the Sox trying to hit home runs and popping up. This will be ova soon obviously.

If Sale comes in , look for him to walk the first hitter or hit the hitter.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2011 -> 05:23 AM) AJP is just a bad hitter. Another worthless offensive night for him. He stinks. He can't hit. Sox as team can't hit. I think we all know what's coming. A walk off and fans will be leaving saying they saw a "great game."

Gio's a good pitcher and Sweeney's OK and so is Chris Young.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 7, 2011 -> 05:16 AM) The other night he was hitting 99 on the USCF gun. Nice.

Thornton appears to be throwing moderately hard.

Way to blow that, White Sox. See we are playing with fire. "Most" teams that play at home, uh, use that home half of the inning to their advantage. They either scorer here and close us out or score in bottom of ninth. How could Lexi not hit a f***ing fly ball???? How???

Once again, a good spot to bunt. And it worked for once.
