Ha. Ozzie's hell is he has to watch this crap everyday. White Sox are laughingstocks of the league right now.

Can Omar get a hit here? If we were pitching, you know the answer.

Happy Easter. Oh well gooseeggs on the scoreboard again. Good luck selling tickets this summer, Pale Hose. What a disgraceful team.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 05:13 AM) I dont think I've ever lost interest in a team so early into a season then this baseball season. The NHL and the NFL Draft will keep me going sports wise this week. Me too. I just don't want to invest in this team. I think I deserve the right to be a bandwagon fan, however, if the Sox somehow get their s*** together. I've followed this team on a daily/yearly basis for a long time, just fed up with the ridiculousness of the Sox play the past few seasons.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 02:52 AM) Lillibridge, Teahen and Vizquel will be in the lineup tomorrow. Pencil in another automatic loss. Funny how the Sox get swept a lot.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 11:59 PM) I run a hotel...one of my regulars brought me a spring training Sox cap two weeks ago...I'm burning it tonight. The team is 2-10 since he gave it to me. We suck in spring training every year...there must be some link there. Cool please do burn the hat. I'd wreck my computer cause we are 1-9 since i bought mlb.com but I can't afford to go wrecking computers.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 12:01 AM) The Sox fired Gene Lamont 31 games into 1995 with an 11-20 record after back to back division titles. The problem is they replaced him with Terry Bevington. If the Sox have someone better than Ozzie available to take over, fine, but if its just another organizational guy, why bother? Yeah, if you put it that way I see your point. Buddy Bell would be about as exciting a hire as Bevington.

Would mlb.com laugh in my face if I asked for a refund? Hell I've only had it about 10 games now and we're 1-9 in that span.

If only it were so simple. Sox are a mess. I'll play along though. Whatever you want us to do to rid the team of the central division hex. Sox can't beat their own brothers.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 12:52 AM) I just want something to happen. Don't sit idle with a bad team and insult the fan base by saying Brad Penny and Wade Davis are fearsome pitchers. Exactly. Brad Penny? My god. I'm assuming we had a lot of lazy pop ups and a few line drives right at outfielders.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) At this point, if we can put Rios on waivers and have someone claim him, you drive him to the airport. That's one contract that would be great to rid ourselves of. Great post. Might as well try it.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 12:16 AM) I'd rather they keep losing Lower attendance and better chance of coaching staff being fired. Winning a game here and there would be detrimental more than positive unless they literally turn into a different team and win tons of games in a row which aint happenin' I don't understand this. It's April. Do you want a season from hell and no fun baseball this summer? I really think they should fire KW or Ozzie right now. I mean, unless they don't want to eat the salaries. The month of April is now classified as a disaster. That's one month of the season. Teams have fired guys in April before. I guarantee you Ozzie wouldn't be surprised if he got canned. He knows the drill.

People hate losers and with this team already six out, I can't imagine anybody caring much about the White Sox, who as we all know, have a somewhat limited fan base to begin with. Even Ozzie won't garner much news. I think he's too embarrassed right now to give much to the press to work with.

This might sound dumb, but do you think many fans will just give up after today? I mean, just totally forget about the White Sox? It's cliche, but the team is truly dead and missing in so many different areas. I mean us diehards will follow every game no matter what, but who would buy a ticket to see this joke of a team? I think Oz is gone soon if this continues. Reinsdorf can blame it on the payroll and how somebody had to be the fall guy. You can't just bank on the fact, "it's early." This team is ridiculously bad and dead. And we don't even know if we are ever going to close a game because we haven't had a save situation in so long. Q: Are the white sox soon to be old, forgotten news in Chicago until if/when they actually start winning??

QUOTE (hawkubes @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 09:28 AM) Let's fire Ozzie and let's fire KW. I'm so sick and tired of this talk. Ozzie's a great manager (yes, he makes mistakes, who doesn't) the players want to play for him. Kenny Williams has made some great moves, i'm so tired of everybody talkin smack about KW's moves. He's doing everything he can to make the white sox a winner, and that's what they're gonna do. Let's go Sox :gosoxretro: I'm not sick of the negativity, just sick of this team's play so far. My god, what a horrible start for a supposed contender.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 03:37 AM) Seriously though, it's starting to feel like all of those Prior/Wood "simulated games" and "towel exercises" that we used to hear all about. Yes it reminds me exactly of that. Bhawk99 you are a little harsh I think. Nobody's ever questioned Peavy's 'want-to' in this matter. He can't help it if his arm has imploded at this stage of his life. I wouldn't call him a bum.

Game Five was a thing of beauty. The Hawks just jumped them like a robber in a dark alley. It's rare a team can keep that up facing elimination three games in a row against a No. 1 seed. If the Hawks pull it off and force a Game 7, wow.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 03:30 AM) This is so f***ing lame. I thought this team was going to be dominant. Heaven forbid we ever have a hot start since 2006. I thought so, too. I thought it was going to be a great April after the first 3 series.

QUOTE (since56 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 03:25 AM) I knew Dunn struck out a lot but................OMG! It truly is amazing seeing him whiff so much. I would think the boo birds will be out soon if he doesn't start blasting some home runs. He's a big black hole in the lineup right now. He's got eight RBIs in 20 games. I'm not bagging on Omar, but I just knew he'd have an oh-fer tonight. All of a sudden we need Omar in the lineup. He's a once a week player on a good team.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 03:05 AM) Trading for this guy was a joke...now all we're looking for is if the dude can play long toss or a simulated game. And when he does come back...how long until the next muscle pops out of joint. I can't imagine a scenario in which he becomes this dominant, injury-free stud ever again. Not his fault, he truly is a gamer and I like everything he's ever said to the media. I'd think he'll pitch his ass off next time he returns to the big leagues and prolly really seriously injure his arm and that'll be it for his career.

I catch Grobber on the internet in the early am and love it.

I'm starting to think this is all mental, playing hard, hard, hard, as well as the return of Bolly, of course. The problem is when you are down 3-0 and trying to come all the way back, can we keep the all-out intensity the next game(s)? This is what makes sports so exciting ... the possibility of coming back and winning this thing. Can we win this home game and bring it to Game Seven?? People on this thread seem more reasonable than the Sox boards, so tell me ... do you expect us to lose Game Six or win again?? I'm thinking Canucks win 4-1, with one goal an empty netter as we desperately try to prolong the series by pulling goalie with 2 mins left.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 02:56 AM) At least the bullpen got the day off. Send Pena to the DL and bring up anyone withe a pulse. Beckham and Rios are killing this team as I Will give Dunn a learning curve to DH and a new league. Yuk on Dunn as well. Beckham shouldn't be this streaky. He needs to get his head out of his ass. He was great the first four or five games. I'm not a big Rios guy but he was starting to win me over last year.

Mighty mighty Adam Dunn. He's so good it's scary.

I'm losing interest early in this team and I am a die-hard. Just don't like what I've seen on mlb.com. Of course I didn't have mlb.com when we were 7-4. I bought it right after, lucky me. I just wonder what loyal ticket holders are thinking. I can't imagine many people "going out of their way" to attend a game if this keeps up. Lotsa goats on this team right now, no need to go through the list of current bums.
