You guys like what you see? Or is Vancouver skating well and too much on the attack for the Hawks to handle?

Yes baby!!!! Tied it up!!!!

Lousy start for the Hawks. Vancouver IMO is playing very well. We got to get this baby tied up soon.

Walker getting fired would be interesting, but I don't know if it would be effective enough. If anybody gets fired it should be Ozzie. And when Ozzie is replaced, Kenny should also be blasted publicly by Reinsdorf if he has the guts to go to the news conference.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) I would tell Sale to pack his bags and move to Charlotte for the rest of the year. No sense continuing to hinder his progress while this ship is sinking. May as well try and salvage the future. Some decent ideas in here. I agree on Sale. Make him a starter in minors, now. I would see if Joe Torre is interested in managing the rest of the year and bring him aboard now, in time for the Yankee series. I fear the Sox can't afford to pay Torre what he'd need to return. He's got to be bored doing whatever he's doing now. If we can't get Torre, I'd start trading anybody who makes a big buck. Paulie, Mark, etc Normally I wouldn't be in favor of "rebuilding" but the Cell is going to be empty anyway after the Yankees have their way with us.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 10:59 PM) Bring in Lou Pinella or Joe Torre. I am serious. Torre is a great idea. I'd do it now. However, you know what? Sox will not pay him the money. No f***ing way. They won't pay Torre.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 07:42 PM) I didn't watch past the last out. Was Miggy being an idiot? I didn't see it either but he probably laughed at how easy that sweep was. White Sox love to hit those lazy lazy pop ups. What was it, 9-0 and 3-0 and the first game we got a couple runs?? The bullpen still hasn't had a chance to blow anything in 11 games or so. Wait til we finally have a lead in NY.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 07:34 PM) Jamarcus Dunn with another rough day at the plate. Forget the Dodgers, Selig should take over the White Sox. Because this s*** is disgraceful and detrimental to the game. The Yankees must be licking their chops. Have you ever seen the Sox enter a series in which it's guaranteed they lose 3, probably all four? Oh wait, Tampa Bay this week.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) Ummm....Mark Teahen and Juan Pierre say hello. Probably AJ Pierzynski as well. You might be able to dump Buehrle's contract for nothing in return. I don't think Konerko's going to be moveable without sending a financial subsidy along in return. Just depends on a contending team having an injury there....but even with an injury, taking an aging 1B at this stage in his career is a big risk for any organization because of the multi-year implications down the line. Teams can start dumping contracts in a hurry and suddenly have one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. I would think the Sox will do that. The Cell is going to be empty anyway. Probably the first thing they should do is dump Dunn, but with our luck the minute we do he'll hit about 20 homers in 20 days.

I'm pinning this loss on the pathetic losers and coaches on this team. Wow.

If you are sick of the negativity, get ready for apathy. This kind of record and the team is heading to New York to lose a minimum of 3, possibly four more?? Wow this team has done what is impossible to do. Be irrelevant in one month.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 07:23 PM) Your 2011 White Sox. Worst record in baseball! And heading to NY for four. Wow.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 07:22 PM) Keep a couple details in mind...the Chairman probably made $20 million last year with a struggling team, and he basically committed that $20 million to the roster this year. If the attendance figures come in similar, he's at break even. If there's a drop in attendance, that'll push him towards losing money...but there's also a possibility that there may be insurance dollars coming in again if the Sox hold a policy on Peavy, which has been rumored ever since we traded for him. Those insurance companies must be in the habit of just giving out money insuring baseball pitchers.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 07:21 PM) 1-10 our past 11 games. LOL. That's pretty hard to do, actually. Exactly. What are they going to say if they lose 4 in NY? One of the worst stretches in modern team history with this payroll? Wow.

I don't see how the Sox will turn this thing around in NY. This sure looks like a team that just flat gave up after the stretch of horrible relief outings. 4 games in NY? We win one if we're lucky. I mean cmon.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) Then they're going to have to start charging $50 for upper deck tickets or they won't ever be able to afford him. Danks simply isn't the kind of player who puts fannies in the seats like a Braun or Fielder. Or an Adam Dunn. Oh wait.

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.
