This team is seriously incapable of winning OR losing a game to the twins in normal fashion, i.e. 5-4 no errors, no miscues on defense or the other 20-something things that happened the last two nights
They are without morneau and still have no problem scoring runs off of our staff
I'll take 1-1 after our history in the twinkiedome where we stood no chance compared to the new park.
The key is splitting this series. Losing 3 of 4 would be bad; winning 3 of 4 would be incredible. A split would be fine.
I love myself as well as JC, Ozzie, Bobby, CQ, heck the entire White Sox team, even Kotsay and Jones, the Blackhawks and even the Bears and all good looking women. GO SOX!! Double digit win streak, please!
Is this a joke? I'm still wondering if the post the other day was a joke in saying if not for a few horrible offensive performances the team could have been 28-2 instead of 25-5. I'm assuming both are jokes.
I love how there's still criticism of the lineup when we have had recent 11 and 9 game win streaks. I just find it funny, that's all. I wonder how many games in the streak guys who have been criticized for either playing or batting too high actually contributed big time to yet another of the wins.
I thought people wanted me to be more negative. I get ripped for praising CQ and Bobby and Ozzie a lot.
I said I like Peavy's attitude and wish him well. I also just said what ptatc wrote "doesn't sound good." And it doesn't. This injury sounds pretty s***ty to me and it's pretty easy to make the jump to the fact it's wasted money.
I also said I don't care about that because the Sox and all teams deserve what they get in paying wasted contracts when pitchers go down. These contracts are ridiculous considering the nature of the arm/sthoulder in this day and age of pampering pitchers.
Ptatc's evaluation doesn't sound good.
As it turned out, Jake was a complete waste of money. He's a gamer and all, but it's money down the drain.
And yes, I wish him the best in his recovery. It sucks he got hurt. I don't feel sorry for baseball teams that waste money like this, however. Giving pitchers multi year megabuck deals is just stupid in this day and age of coddling arms that in the best of times can't give a team more than 105 pitches a night. Nobody held a gun to the head of owners who brought this upon themselves.
