Four hits total against the alleged worst team in baseball at our ballpark... miserable at bats from key players in our lineup in the ninth ... we've already fired our hitting coach and brought in a new one ... it's a hopeless cause. We suck. It's obvious we're not going to fire our skipper cause of monetary reasons and even if we did we wouldn't awaken. Bringing in Walker hasn't helped our bats a bit. Our only hope is to not fall too far behind theTwinks in case we ever fricking wake up.

The Royals are going to try to rob KW. If we give up too much for Beltran that would be horrible. Especially if we can't sign him. He is the best player on the Royals besides Sweeney, but the Royals will be going for blood, trying to get 4-5 of our young guys.

I wish mark cuban would buy the team and keep it in chicago. Or somebody rich from the great city of Chicago who has a clue.

Buy a round on me and just send me the bill in KC. Kidding. Someday I'll buy a round, tho.

I'm glad we won, also. Colon is looking so good. But we still aren't stinging the ball. Eight hits ain't too spiffy. It wouldn't be so bad if we had a stellar defense. But we are gonna have to start hitting or we're doomed. Nice win, though. We'll take it!

Once again, a guy leaves the sox and excels. It can't just be coincidence. We are a jinxed organization with no ability to develop players or put them in position to succeed.

Man, that was a great column by Phil. He ought to be our fricking GM. The Sox need to do what he says. I can't argue with anything he said.

I want to know why we lost three vs. Minn after sweeping the O's. I thought Game Three of the O's series was great. Colon beaned that guy and got tossed showing loyalty to Maggs who got plunked for slamming the game-winning hit. Frank had a big walk when it counted late and we looked like we were clicking. I guess it's simple. We won because we were playing the O's and that series meant nothing.

It does suck that we keep firing hitting and pitching coaches instead of the real problem, KW. But this move had to be made. Our hitting has sucked.

This is a good move ... I hope. Greg Walker had a sweet swing as I recall. Did we go 0-3 after we hired him or is this a recent move? I was in Vegas last week and though I won money on the Sox (their win over Baltimore in Game Three of the series) won me a five -team parlay and I was psyched!

It's definitely time to give Backman a try. Managers can make a difference. Look at Tony Pena here in KC. The players love him and are hustling their butts off. I say we go with Backman (who I admittedly know nothing about) and Greg Walker as hitting coach. Walker was a good hitter, always hit the ball hard, before he got hurt.

I watched the end of that game and Lowe pitched today like he really cared if that makes any sense. He was possessed out there. I tip my cap to Lowe and wish we still had him on the Sox. I thought Daubauch and Koch were gonna be clubhouse leaders. What happened to that? We still have no fire.

So many players are sucking at the same time. If Mark B keeps losing like this, he's going to be like Ritchie, thinking he'll lose 20.

We've got to make some coaching changes or else we're going to go thru a fire sale in July. We can't be this bad. Baseball experts said we'd be a powerhouse team. We suck

I don't count cause I live in KC and will attend zip unfortunately. But you have to agree with my attendance comment, correcto? I would go to 20 games if I could. I remember going to about 18 games one year in high school to watch one of the worst teams in Sox and baseball history, still had fun. You can't beat fun at the ol ballpark as Harry or Jack B. used to say, one of the two.

Do you all think the Sox problem is we do a piss poor job of player development once the player hits the bigs? How else do you explain the flameouts of many of our players and pitchers? As much as I detest KW and I want him fired of course ... do you think our skipper and our last skipper and virtually all of our big league coaches do a piss poor job of player development?? I mean if Crede washes out, that is the last straw.

I wish him well also.

Well, JR is going to pay. There will be no walk ups at the Cell the rest of the year. Crap attendance in June, July and August for our Sox. Even non Sox fans here in KC by me can't believe we haven't fired Manuel. Folks, we were SUPPOSED to win this year.

Whatever happened to us planning on having a set lineup this season, all season? We suck at this time.

He'll kick our ass. All former Sox kick our ass. Right? It sure seems that way. Can you say Singleton, Cameron, et. all.

I'm tellin ya ... Olivo needs to play 4 of every 5 games minimum. Play him!!

I'd fire Manuel and bring in a go getter like Valentine. I'd fire Ward of course. And I'd bring up Joe B. I mean the experts picked us to win this year. Let's just change our manager and coaching staff for now.

They better cut prices, cause the walk up crowds are gonna suck the rest of the way. We have no offense and our pitching ain't so hot either. HIRE VALENTINE

The problem is most of us, at least I am, resigned to the fact Williams won't be fired so the only other alternative is to fire JM. I guess we should get hot and heavy back on the fire KW bandwagon. Every move Kenny makes seems to fail. That's why I'm surprised he doesn't go with a new manager. I mean Kenny brings in the players and we continue to be mediocre and almost all the deals look terrible. So either fire Kenny or Jerry M soon ... please. Maybe we're just destined to be the Blackhawks with our current management and leadership. Never make the playoffs again.

I know. I simply couldn't believe it as I shook my head in dismay. He was out by 30 yards. What a team.
