Another year, no Triple Crown winner. What a muddy track. Did anybody go?

KW is the main guy poisoning everything here. Micromanaging everything and everybody, dumb trades, spies in the clubhouse, flipping over buffet tables. JM hasn't helped either. He didn't stand up to KW and he now manages poorly and without the slightest bit of passion. Both need to go. This season didn't need to go this way.

Earlier the play by play guy, it's Joe Buck isn't it, said that Sosa was "everything that's right about baseball." :puke As much as I dislike the yanks they have always had a commitment to winning.

The yanks ruined many a day for me as a kid, but the cubs have overtaken everybody on my baseball enemies list. I just loathe every thing about them and that whole Wrigley scene. Too bad they both can't lose today.

Root for the White Sox and whoever plays the cubs.

WOW sorry, that is NOT what I meant, I meant NOT as bad. I am really sorry guys. I must not have been paying enough attention. I am REALLY sorry!!! I figured it was a typo. I've read your posts and you never came across that way to me.

This is my experience as an old fart on this board. In the business world I've found that leadership in any company or organization sets the tone. It's just not possible to have a successful organization without the right leadership, bosses,etc. Rotten imcompetent leadership causes demoralization which leads to the kind of results we're seeing now with the Sox. The White Sox were the surprise team of MLB in 2000 (seems so long ago now). Three years later not just the team but the entire organization seems in shambles.

Nahton! Yaw the greatest!! (My very poor Gleason imitation)

The 80's are to my kids what the 50's are to me.

I'm sure he wishes he was back home in St. Louis.

This is really beautiful isn't it? Good nite everybody. Hope all can sleep well.

Look at 61 and then compare it to the rest of his career. You know we traded him after the 59 pennant year along with a bunch of other prospects for short term help.

At this point I would take a potted plant over KW.

This team does not remind me at all of 83. I don't think they were ever 8 below .500. They went 50-16 to finish the season. The starting pitching was awesome and lots of clutch hitting. They were good and lots of fun, especially when they got on that end of season roll. Best Sox team in my lifetime, I'll say it again.

You're right. He's completely lost the ability to make good decisions. I used to like the way he used the bullpen.

Big time.

I don't know about anybody else but I think it's great. Where did you find this stuff?

I think I'm going to pass out the next time I hear someone actually admit guilt and be man enough to accept the consequences. I'm oh so tired of excuses, especially playing the "race card". It's obvious the weight of the world would come crashing down on JR if he decided to can KW and JR on the same day. Sorry, that's the way I see it. By the way, they both need canned and the sooner the better. How's things going in LA, I think I'll go to the game thread now.

Give Rex a chance if only because the alternative (Kordell) is so bad. Believe me Bear fans Kordell is not the answer.

I agree. I thought they were set to compete for another 5+ years.

Good Lord what happened to Crede and Konerko?

Marte can occasionally go a couple of innings. Glad JM saw it that way last nite.

Belated congrats, you're really getting the hang of this. Keep writing.

What a weak pathetic puff piece. Poor poor Sammy, the spinning is incredible. I think his supporters may get him canonized while he's still alive.
