I also applaud your coming around. There's no reason to wait. Start planning on the overhaul, Kenny. Should be interesting to see what fragments remain about Aug. 1. We may not like what we see. Our minor league system is a joke according to many with our top prospects not doing well. Beckham has been miserable. Our beloved starting pitching has been gosh awful and even the much-beloved Thornton sucked today. Wow. It should be so interesting to see what this team looks like in August.

Not me. The Guillens are rich. Rich folk feel entitled. Kenny should lose this one. His son sucked and got eighth round? Oz's kid may suck but should have got the same round.

Let's face it. The Sox have become the Royals. Minnie is dusting off KC tonight; Detroit is killing the Sox. We are an afterthought, a lousy team. I assume even the immortal Thornton sucked tonight for some reason. The Sox playing at home are hilariously bad.

Is this true? Why isn't it receiving more play nationally?

Pods' stats remain good. 2010 34 KCR AL 53 241 212 25 62 4 2 2 18 17 5 19 40 .292 .348 .358 .706 94 76 5 0 8 2 0 *7/8 53 games he's hitting .290 with 17 sbs. And he was great great great in April when we sucked. I still say KW should have stood pat over the pathetic acquisitions that helped turn our offense into slumberville.

Me. You think Mark Buehrle is finished? You think he won't kick ass with the Cardinals?

My comment on the Peavy thread was "good for him. Let him go" or something like that. It wasn't anger at anything he said. I don't think he said anything bad at all. I was just saying with that contract, go ahead and dump him like the rest of the high money guys. I've liked Jake's attitude throughout, especially that one stretch when he wanted the ball against the Rays I think it was, instead of taking another day off and letting mark pitch. I like Jake; just don' tlike the results. and wouldn't lose any sleep if KW trades him.

The radical fringe of the internet is different from other brands of fans. Remember that. If they trade Mark, I'd hope they could get a good deal, but after our most recent round of deals I have no more confidence In KW and Oz's judge of talent. I hope he stays. But I'd hope if we deal him we get a lot back. He's going to pitch well again. You can bank that (unless he gets hurt).

Very small sample size? I am one who has continued to say he's a damn good closer all along. Like his whole career! People drive me crazy. What do you expect out of these players? Jenks has been good even this season. Yes HE SUCKS when the score is tied and he enters or when he has a big lead. He's good at closing.

Where's the love for Jenks? He looks awfully good to me. Some people just want to hate and not give him his props like the last 2 outings?

Maybe, but Jones still sucks. Go ahead, flame me.

Not pouting. Just realistic about a horrible baseball team. And happy about the Blackhawks' chances. They've had a great postseason no matter what happens but a title would be beautiful.

You realize we just lost 2 of 3 to Cleveland ... again ... and you open a thread like this? We barely win one of the 3 games. And you write this after a game in which Mark sucked again? It is over. Like Ozzie said yesterday, something like, "the offense is s***; or the offense sucks." Also the starting pitching sucks. It is over and it's time to plan the firesale. I still don't think he'll be able to make moves til the traditional trading period near the deadline. He might try, though, if anybody wants our lousy players.

He's blown one save. He sucks when entering a tie game or having a big lead. What new? You guys have certain guys you'll rag on and never give any f***ing credit. It amazes me. Bobby Jenks has been fine this year especially compared to the other underachieving pieces of s*** masquerading as baseball players the first couple months. But the haters, go on hating Bobby. Makes no sense.

Is it as simply as the Hawks play wide open, they win? There were some wide open, hard shots tonight finally after those 2 frustrating losses in Philly. Hawks looked like the better team tonight. Wonder if we can break the road ice jinx?

Very pleased to say the least. So much fun watching us pepper the goal with shots and be aggressive and the hard check was the play of the game just about. The old clilche, one game at a time. It would surely be nice to win game six cause we'll need to come out of the chute just like we did tonight in Game Seven. How the hell can we win in Philly? I don't think we can. Can you imagine Friday night? Game Seven in Chicago?? Both teams playing balls out hockey? Hope the Hawks realize they need to play with Game Seven intensity in Game Six to stand a chance. History says we can't win in Philly.

Interesting post. I would agree it would be nice to never see Kotsay or Randy on the field again. What's up with Buehrle. Is he this bad? Is he toast? Floyd and Buehrle have really been bad, bad bad. And Jake has been mediocre at best. I'd agree getting rid of Kotsay and Randy would be a start. Of course I hate Omar and Pierre as well and Pierre hasn't been "that" bad.

The Jenks haters amaze me. He's been the least of our problems this year. Way to go Bobby ... uh, again.

Great post. I just thought the word you used applied. I thought Philly was on the attack more than the Hawks in all four games. That's scary you think Game five is an unknown. I was hoping home ice would mean an automatic win.

Why would the security worker tell you something that isn't true? Did he make it up to pull your chain? These rumors never cease to amaze me when those in the know are supposedly involved. I'd call your friend on it because he apparently is CLUELESS.

Are you serious? How do you figure? Now my question. Do you guys think home ice will immediately make the Hawks wake up and we'll win easily in Game Five? Or do you sense Philly will continue its manhandling of the Hawks? How confident are you in a W in Game Five. Is it automatic victory cause it's in Chicago? Is it gonna be a tossup? Or has Philly caught us?

When things go this bad it makes you wonder how ANYBODY thought it was a good idea to add old guys like Pierre, Jones, Omar and a stiff like Teahen and how this pitching staff could be performing this badly. Also how could CQ, Beckham and AJ suck this bad???

Good for him. Trade him. He hasn't done squat for the White Sox this season.

Williams needs to develop a master plan. God knows what it will be. If salary is indeed a concern, I'd trade Peavy and Rios and start rebuilding with all that extra money at hand. The only untouchables? Maybe the starting pitchers not named Peavy, but s***, they may all be overrated stiffs as well. I'd personally keep the starting pitchers and trade any and all of the everyday players and go young young young.

I disagree that the Royals f***ery has prevented him from anything. Give me a break. He has sucked in the big leagues on his own doing. Billy Butler's done OK.
