  1. What a great throw by Olivo. Nice job. With our pitchers having to bat we're not gonna score tonight are we?
  2. We're my eyes deceiving me or did Borchard just strike out and Olivo just hit into a routine double play with runners on first and third and nobody out? We are so snakebit it is unreal.
  3. I didn't need to hear that either. Another prospect sounds like nothing. We need a good bunter on our team. Remember how singleton used to get bunt hits? We can't buy a hit these days.
  4. It would be sort of nice to start over. Or trade our organization for the Expos.

    He's the reason we suck. I'd say KW is reason No. 1. Reinsdork No. 1A. And Manuel No. 3. Williams and dork above Manuel.
  6. The way we're hitting I see no hope. I mean why should we all of a sudden start hitting. we got six hits today ... woohooo! Six hits. Way to go guys. Six hits!! I honestly think we're gonna maybe finish above Det. and that's it. If we can't hit we can't beat anybody. I guess if we fire Manuel there's a slight chance the team might respond, but I think anybody with a brain realizes KW is the problem and getting rid of Manuel may not matter. We might continue to lose, lose, lose.
  7. Six hits in 33 at bats today ... way to go guys! Way to sting that baseball.
  8. What's sad is we're too cheap to pay anybody outside, so it'll be Backman if JM ever gets fired. I hope Backman is the answer. Walker sure hasn't been the answer as hitting coach, though I am now convinced hitting coaches don't do squat. It's a worthless position. Big league players aren't gonna listen to anybody.

    Good point about Tom Gordon. He hasn't reminded anybody of Tom Seaver in his prime. His pitches often say, "hit me." Lets cut his ass and put in somebody else. Gordon deserves to exit stage left.
  10. Good post. All we do is lose, lose, lose. Did the Twins really lose 4 in a row to Seattle? Is that true? this division woulda been so easy to win this year. s*** if this keeps up, maybe Cleveland will win this piss poor division.
  11. When we're not hitting like this, it does suck to have a bad defensive team, which we certainly are. Pitching: B. Offense: F. Defense: D.
  12. Maybe we need a new ballpark. The ghost of old Comiskey is haunting new Comiskey and we are hexed to forever getting seven hits in every 38 at bats.
  13. Same with Olivo. We might as well play both every day since we are out of contention. I wonder what is wrong with Paulie? Think he's hit the brick wall on his career and he's suddenly done? A la Kittle? Joe Charboneau? Or do you think it's just a slump?

    Eight hits in 35 at bats today. We cannot hit the baseball. This proves one thing: Hitting coaches do not matter a bit. It's our lazy ass hitters unwilling to make adjustments. High paid assholes should be ashamed of themselves.
  15. If we had a good manager we would win this division in spite of the worst GM in baseball. Too bad there aren' t more like Piniella. Let's go with Valentine, Bucky Dent or Backman now!

    Oh we are true fans. We have the bug. I cannot believe we get 7 hits in 35 at bats basically every night. That is crap and it won't win us squat. Our bats simply SUCK!
  17. I agree with southsider. funny stuff too, made me laugh. But Paulie sure is a bust this year. Hard to believe.
  18. Now that we can't hit, it sure would be nice to have the Twinks' defense. We need to start hitting cause our defense is sub par anyway you slice it.
  19. I'll take it too. Loiza is awesome! I wish we could get our bats going. Our starters ain't half bad.
  20. The problem is KW will be making the white flag trades.
  21. We finally hit and pitch. Gotta enjoy it for tonight at least. Good win.
  22. If he quits we should hire him the next day. Wait ... we're too cheap to pay him I'm sure.
  23. It is over because of the Twins. They are better than we are again. Early in the year they were sucking and we, the Royals, et. all did not take advantage. The Twins got it together and are going to have a fine year. We, meanwhile, can't win a series against anybody. I agree with the last poster. Minn will win going away.

    Wow. Great effort by Jon. Again this proves he has it in him. It's up to our staff to get him to be the player this shows again he can be. This isn't the only time he's had an excellent outing in his career. Nice win for him.
  25. Hard to believe reinsdork will stand for no attendance the rest of the summer, hell the summer hasn't even started yet. But we are so bad only the great loyal fans like many on this board will go to the park. We are in the "who cares" stage. The Sox are boring, old news to most of chicago and the country. Only hope is to make major decisions on a new GM and new manager now. But that ain't gonna happen. Valentine should be brought in now and he can run the team til new GM is found. We are so bad it really is laughable.
