Good to see the White Sox show some fight in Boston and NY ... not. What a joke. As expected, they go a stellar 1-6. Now comes the bloodletting in Minnesota. The question is do we get one or get swept? I'll stand by my 2-8 prediction but 1-9 is a real possibility with our lifeless crew which has one of the worst bullpens in the AL right now.

I think I may have screwed up and didn't answer an email or something. Are all the leagues set? Should we have been contacted with draft info? No big deal if I'm out because I think I f***ed up.

I'm beginning to wonder more and more ... why didn't we wait until the offseason to acquire this guy? Hindsight is 20/20, armchair quarterbacking sucks, but how did this help our team THIS YEAR? It didn't except get rid of two possible contributing pitchers for THIS SEASON.

My Name Is Sue, by Johnny Cash. Cause our guys are a bunch of p*****s this year. No fire; no nothing except errors and bad relief pitching and maddening hitting or lack of it with runners on base. Or Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis These guys have put us through heartbreak all season or heartburn.

If Ozzie goes, KW should as well. We have some bad baseball players on this team and his acquisitions have not helped much. They wanted Peavy to matter THIS YEAR. As it turns out we could have used Clayton and Poreda THIS YEAR considering the stiffs KW filled our bullpen with. KW is to blame, not just Ozzie.

Time for a do-over. Move Lexi back to second and acquire a stopgap veteran shortstop again like we did OC two years ago. Leave Gordon at third.

In the 3 innings I watched today, it was neat to hear Hawk and Stone rip our defense. They said it sucked, which it obviously does. Horrible defensive team. Bad baserunning team, though some of that is on Cox, who makes bad decisions. Why don't they move Harold to 3B coach next year??

Save the "quit" talk til after this road trip. It's going to get worse. We're not going to do s*** in the dome either. We'll see starting with the Cub game if we quit. This road trip was going to be horses***. It just was.

The team hasn't quit. It's just doing what you'd expect them to do at NY and Boston this time of year. Get its ass kicked. The big losses were to KC and the O's last week. That was the season.

I'm out. This has 9-0 written all over it. Wow we do suck lately. I'm out to go do something productive. JUST WIN BABY

It's easy to be negative lately, but Jose was throwing slop that first inning; soft slop. That does not bode well for the next time through tht order. Don't like what I saw in inning No. 1. Of course we have done nothing in 2 innings agianst their hack pitcher.

I can't believe people have strong opinions on hitting/pitching coaches. You really really think sending a message will make a frickin difference? We've changed a lot of third base coaches and they are all the same. GET BETTER PLAYERS. Also, you said "I think this team is gonna go for a world series next year. I think some bold moves will be made this offseason, and I think Dye will be gonna, Jenks will be gone, Pods will be gone, and a move like trading one of Floyd/Alexai/Konerko will be made. I think he will sign a long term RF, lots of bullpen help for cheap, , and keep Kotsay to platoon with Thome at DH and play OF/1B. He will also resign Wise and trade more prospects. " This wait til next year stuff can be scary. Next year can turn into next year and the next year. I agree Kenny's moves look awfully stupid right now. We need a MUCH BETTER offseason in the personnel moves department. I see no reason to believe we'll be great next year right now.

Jose is a proud competitor, he's just not very good anymore, evidenced by his horrific record. Poor Jose.

I've been mentally out since the pathetic showing versus the O's and Royals at home. Way to beat the bad teams, White Sox. NOT. Only a blind optimist thought we could hold our own on this road trip. Our team showed NO sense of urgency for so long against mediocre teams. It had to catch up with us. Only life we've shown was that great 3 of 4 at home vs. the Yankees. We're going to get payback for that this series where we continue our pathetic freefall.

Rios hasn't exactly helped us much. He better be good. We're stuck with him for a while.

Typical Sox case of Murphy's Law regarding Peavy. We acquire him thinking we can keep it close until September and bam we go 3-3 versus KC and the O's at home, which was such a choke job, then play predictably bad (in terms of the bottom line wins and losses) on the road trip from hell. There is no reason to pitch Peavy the rest of the season. Why not just rest him and Buehrle for that matter, too. What is the purpose?

Yes I booed Carrasco in this forum. I've admitted the error of my ways. At least he competes and has decent to good outings most of the time. I also boo (on here) Dotel, Williams, Pena, Liney, who all pretty much suck. Our bullpen sucks. It is a D at best.

At least after this road trip we better see all the young guys the entire month of September. Bring 'em all up. Six in the loss column today ... s*** it could be 10 by the end of this trip. PLAY THE YOUNG PROSPECTS from the minors all of September Kenny. Just do it. They can't do any worse than these guys. And start planning on how to get rid of all these bullpen guys except for Bobby and Carrasco and Thornton.

Nice road trip guys ... 1-4. What a bunch of pussies we have on our team. About as bad a road trip as many of us imagined. 1-4 and counting. What a joke. Each night a different goat from the bullpen. Equal opportunity failures.

Wow, this may be the post of the year. Excellent. People that think Walker is the problem need to keep a journal and write down the times of year they are mad at Walker and times they are neutral. It's all a cliche. Blame the guys with the bat in their hands. And while you are at it ... boo until your team finally plays the backup quarterback. Cliche city to blame the hitting/pitching coach. And I don't care if they fire him or not. I just know the next coach won't be any better.

Don't people see the "fire the hitting coach"is such a damn cliche? Why do reasonable sports fans fall for these cliches. The hitting coach doesn't mean a darn thing except for getting tapes ready for the hitters to watch and getting them extra BP scheduled, etc. I am all for firing Walker just to silence everybody. I couldn't care less if we had him or not, because the position doesn't matter to big leaguers. They are the ones swinging the bat. Other cliches: Play the backup quarterback (until the backup sucks; then it's clamoring for the No. 3 guy; when he fails, finally apathy sets in). "Fire the pitching coach": Yes, Cardinal fans were on Duncan earlier this year. I read the column in the St. Louis paper to prove it. Now they love him again. "Why did Ozzie put in Linebrink?" Uh ... we can't pitch Thornton and Bobby only every night. "Why did Ozzie put in Dotel?" Uh ... we can't pitch Thornton and Bobby only every night. "Why did Ozzie put in Pena?" See above plus the fact KW was dumb enough to acquire that hack. Teams with talent win games.

Konerko, Thome and Carlos hit and we win. Is that so difficult to do, guys? Man, Beckham and Lexi need to flip flop in the order. Beckham seems to be slumping. 1-3 on the road trip. Better than 0-4. If we're going to win a game vs NY we will really have to earn it. After kicking their ass 3 of 4 at the Cell, they are going to want to put a whomping on us.

We won a game? Whattayaknow? Good line by Dotel. My god.

I haven't been reading the accounts of the games much lately, just skimming some. My question is whether the "E" word has been uttered yet and if and when somebody like Oz or the players will say they are embarrassed. What will it take for you the fan to be embarrassed on this trip? Would it be tonight's fourth loss to the Sox? Or an oh-fer in Boston and New York? When will you be embarrassed by the club? There's a difference from being mad and embarrassed. I'm not embarrassed yet, but we have pretty much laid over so far at 0-3 entering game 4 of the bataan death march.

Why did KW think it was a good idea to trade an everyday player for this ineffective pitcher? Please tell me he doesn't have the type of contract where we'll be unable to dump him for a bag of chips this winter.
