I didn't see any of the Tampa games but I was happy reading the box scores. We finally hit. This is amazing we've immediately reverted back. We shoulda got Bannister early. Once again, bases loaded one out we get one run. That was the ballgame. Another quality start wasted unless we get a couple homers to tie it. Royals have a good bullpen, but Gobble is the weak link if there indeed is one.

After this series we will be in last place. You are right; that is sad.

It's all about hitting. We got 3 hits; we gonna lose. Sickening after getting so many hits each night in tampa. I hate to put it all on Thome, Paulie and AJ, but they have to hit the ball out of the park against these horses*** teams or we gonna LOSE.

No he won't. He's not stupid. BTW, I am not saying we are going to turn it around. But once again we get double digit hits and win. If the lineup could suppy our great starting pitching double digit hit offense on a consistent basis, we'd be in the wild card hunt before September. Again, I realize it won't happen, but you can't deny our starting pitching is Pennant worthy. It was and is all about the hitting and our horrid bullpen.

I find it impossible to believe anybody wants their team to lose. I'll shut up now. I'm done spouting on this matter.

I know you don't care about my mood. I'm asking about your mood. You don't feel better when your team wins? There are no guarantees about any draft pick. My god, we could pick fifth and wind up with the best player. I want to win every game. I find it hard to believe I'm not in the majority. I mean if I lived in chicago like before and had season tix, I'd damn well want to win the games I attended. Losing sucks.

I hope the "stud prospects" pan out better than Reed, Borchard, Olivo, et all. I'd rather keep our studs and do the free agency thing. It's Jerry's money, not mine.

But winning helps my mood. Doesn't it help yours? I want to win.

You are assuming KW is a complete moron. He's not going to decide we are great if we start winning. I am not saying we are going to make a splash, but my god, why give up? What if somehow we start hitting (paulie, thome and aj were 6-12 tonight) and got red hot and crept close to .500 by the break. The Astros sucked a cuople years ago and rallied. Again ... I do not think this will happen, but to want us to lose I believe is ridiculous. I want the Sox to win every night. Am I alone in this???

Beautiful Ribbie! I was just actually going to say you do become a billionaire in many cases by being a clueless idiot when you inherit money and have never worked a day in your life and try to run a business. Yes I do know some of these such idiots. I feel for those just starting in the workplace, cause all this "team" bulls*** invading society and businesses cutting benefits and the one business (circuit city i believe) firing all its employees so they could rehire them at less money is a sign of society going down the tubes. Again, nice job Ribbie. All time post in my book.

The odds of Pedro not making it big are MUCH greater than him making it big. I have better things to do than dream about some guy who may or may not even make the bigs, stay healthy, etc. I mean what are the odds? Look at all the can't miss prospects who suck. CJ Henry. 5 tool player? Uh .200 hitter. There are no guarantees. I'd rather win now and worry about drafts later, but that's just me.

Hope you are kidding. I want us to win every game we play. I mean do you want the Sox to lose every night? That is absurd IMO. Do some of you really want the Sox to lose? I am baffled by this.

Kalapse's research has proven my lame point. We are not a bad team when our clueless hitters rap 10-12 hits. Hit the ball!!!

The Cubs won't make a significant deal with us, just Jones, because of our steal of Garland.

Yes, Great Point.

If the Sox are serious about winning, Mark and Garland will be our top two starters a long time. You can't throw 5 Danks' out there and expect to be even a .500 team.

Hope you are right chisoxfan. I like him, too. Hope the trade of Thome will bring some impact players.

Thanks Kalapse. What about 10 or more hits? I'd think 12 is the magic number for success factoring in our horrific bullpen.

Yeah but in the "real world" sometimes the workers feel that way because their bosses are clueless idiots who have made billions because of the work of the peons. p.s. Whatever did happen to andy the clown? Seriously. Is he dead? Alive? What's the story

We get 12 hits. We win. Has anybody figured out our record when we get 12 or more hits? It's simple with this team. Had it hit at the same rate of the last few years, it would be in contention, bullpen be damned. Because with 12 or more hits a game we'd have a few blowouts and let our horses*** relievers pitch in blowout victory situations once in a while.

This trade would make no sense. Just some more prospects rather than guys who can actually play the game now and help us win.

My gawd, let's just revolutionize baseball. Trade every single White Sox player and see what happens.

He made a good point. The Sox didn't address the issues that made them a non contender in 06. So in that regard it was a right on article.

i just don't get how so many people think the Sox are going to trade 5-6 regular starters? Baseball should investigate because we will be almost trying to lose every single game the rest of the year.

I'm not ripping him. I tried to word my initial post to make that clear. I just a.) thought it would have been great to have him steal the headlines with the key hit yesterday or today. And b.) really wondered if the Crede haters had changed their opinion of Josh at all after actually seeing him in the flesh for a week or so. I hope Fields does well. p.s. Note to Paulie and Thome and AJ. It would be nice if you three could solve your hitting problems and start carrying the team. No excuses. You 3 have got to start ripping the baseball. My gawd, start hitting.
