At least the pressure is off this lousy team. At 0-4 and with modern society having a short attention span, most everybody will have given up on this team after the ninth inning today. So the players can relax and maybe score some runs and win some games. The non zealot fan might pay attention again if we ever get four or five over .500. Til then relax White Sox cause nobody cares.

Sox often sign the wrong guys. Sox had chances to get Hunter even when he was a young-un. ... Thank god we acquired Pods during the glory years.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 10:05 PM) If they all shaved, I could see them pulling off a ten game winning streak. You got to admit, the beards don't look good when a team is this bad (so far). At least admit that. QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 10:07 PM) The laid back comfort zone with Ventura has to end, Sox have no sense of urgency ever under Ventura. I don't particularly like Robin, but this is a cliche you are aware. We had the fiery, crazy Ozzie and people wanted him gone. Now we have the laid back Robin and we're going to hear more and more about how we need fire. QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 10:51 PM) We have 0 quality starts and 4 guys we're counting on for offense (Eaton, Melky, LaRoche, Alexei) with what, 4 hits combined? I'm finding it very difficult to blame Robin for this. I didn't want to disagree with the offseason euphoria, but I did dispress my displeasure at the Melky acquisition and the LaRoche signing scared me because he's old by today's standards. Not giving up, but I agree with those fans who just booed that pathetic throw by Flowers.

I'm starting to think our advanced scouts suck. We are a pathetic baseball team through five innings of Friday. Sox better string some runs together cause it looks like Noesi is about done for today meaning bullpen is a coming. I"m out. Have to go do something. Sox suck (so far). Get it together WHITE SOX! Please don't blast me for my observation about the beards, but they look very fricking stupid on winless ballplayers. Game not over yet. RALLY time White Sox.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 04:50 AM) Good teams make their moves in August. Lot of pressure on the Sox to right the ship against Minnie considering Minnesota scored one run in 3 games vs. Detroit. I'd take two out of three. Hard to sweep anybody nowadays.

Robin has to be sick of this s***. I need to listen to his postgame today. I hope he told it like it is at least and said we got outplayed in all facets during those 3 horrific (from a Sox standpoint) games. I know it's just three games but the only guys to make me happy I bought mlb.com were Abreu and A. Garcia. That Flowers bomb was a thing of beauty, too.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) Greg, stop. The season's way too early for "trade deadline" or firesale talk. OK I'm out for today. Sox ruined the week for me. Adios.

Oh no, this 0-3 made me realize some fans may be calling for the Sox to lose as many games as possible to get a better draft pick. NOOoooooooooooo. Please nooooooooo.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:52 PM) I forgot how much fun baseball season is. Thing is, the Sox do this to the fan. I mean what's with the 0-3 crap? Win a game out of 3 on the road and life goes on.

I love Shark's enthusiasm in hitting Cain, but Cain was the star of this series.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:47 PM) I was so pumped for this season, and in a couple days this team managed to kill my enthusiasm. Great job guys. We better beat on the Twins. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:47 PM) By game 6, he'll want Ozzie back I always want Ozzie back in some capacity.

Embarrassing or LOL however you want to look at it. KC is now 16-6 vs. Chicago over the last 22 games. Nice. I hope LaRoche goes ballistic in the clubhouse after this game.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:41 PM) Does anyone think we are going to score now? Hope the Sox remember this game when they are up 2-0 on a team in a 3 game series. Go for the throat, baby. Got to complete sweeps when they are offered up to you.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) I'm just gonna go live in the woods every time we play KC from now on. Or Detroit. Or Cleveland. Or Minnie.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:25 PM) Actually nearly every site I saw that has a collection of voters had the Sox ranked 3rd in the AL Central. And the Sox absolutely do have speed, with 4 guys that can get 20 this year. I don't think Eaton is that fast in the basestealing sense. Great catch, though. Micah may never get on base to steal. Who else is fast? QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) So much for the talk of making pitchers work. I did not see last nights game but Monday and today has shown me that this team has the same mentality of previous teams, OBP is not part of their mentality. Nice job getting off to a slow start. 0-3 is unacceptable.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:17 PM) A slow start would be a killer to any momentum gained during the offseason Why were all the experts not realizing the Sox still have lousy defense, no speed, iffy bullpen and hitters who don't walk? I don't get it. The offseason talk was DOMINATION.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 07:06 PM) Gordon is their best hitter. Hitting your best hitter 6th seems silly. I think it's all mumbo jumbo. Yost obviously is high on Moustakas and gets a kick out of angering KC fans who hate Moose.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 07:03 PM) I'm not pegging them as a playoff team, but with the way this core is built, it doesn't need to happen this year. And before long we're going to be saying the bullpen is the easiest thing to rebuild. You can always get a replacement for LaRoche. Guys like Eaton are easily replaceable, etc. I want to win now. We were told again this team should win now.

I've been told women don't dig beards any more. Shave it.

It's amazing how talent is all that matters. Abreu just crushes the same pitch so many others would have taken or popped up. Weird.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 06:52 PM) Some people prefer to win games with the help of their manager, not in spite of him, but hey, to each their own. And why is batting Gordon second instead of WS hero Moustakas such a bad decision? Frankly I'm getting sick of our manager (despite the talent issue) and could easily turn into a Robin hater this year even if it doesn't matter much who is manager if the team is inherently slow and bad defensively and bad in the bullpen.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 06:50 PM) Other than Minnesota...who looks to suck the entire season as they wait for Sano/Buxton/Meyer to blossom. Sox stunk vs. Minnie last year as I recall. Maybe .500ish?

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) I'm tired of Lorenzo Cain, dude. I'm tired of being tired of our opponents all the time in the Central. Sox need to own somebody in their own division.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 06:43 PM) Nationally Yost has been ripped for batting Moustakas 2nd instead of Gordon. Nationally people have nothing to talk about. Does it really matter? KC is gonna win and win big cause of bullpen and defense.

Did Bruce Chen make anybody's roster this year? Just so I can worry about those automatic losses.
