QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) Yes, losing both of these games sucked. Yes, we suck against Minny. Yes, Ozzie sucks as an in-game manager. Agreed on all counts. That didn't mean much in '06 and last year. And I'm sure NL teams feel the same way about us, as most Sox fans do about them. "This is the time to make our run." We've played below .500 baseball against our division consistently since '05. And that's not just the Twins. Means nothing if we can't beat the Twins or Tigers. Both teams are better at this point. And? We're below .500 at home. And other than a coinflip, this team has failed every year the last five. They don't get or deserve the benefit of the doubt. And will ultimately come up short because they can't beat their main competition.

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) No doubt. KW's gotta make a move to get DV in the line-up. It's not going to happen. JP will be in there tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that. Racking up 4/5 PAs a day while contributing absolutely nothing.

7-28 in their last 35 games against the Twins. Say whatever you will about me. This organization needs a clean sweep of the organizational trash from top to bottom.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:17 PM) Bad day for Gordo You mean a bad 18 months.

Beckham makes me miss Craig Grebeck and Joey Cora.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:06 PM) And this is why everyone thinks you're just emotional and ridiculous. So when are we allowed to critique our drafting? The standard excuse pre-2007 was that we're competitive all the time and we never have a top 10 pick. I bring up the Rays or another team and you all say it's only because they were bad and had top 5-10 picks. We finally get one in '07 and he's sucked for a year and a half. And there's no reason to believe he's going to snap out of it. His batting mechanics suck. He can't hit a fastball. You can't be good in this league and not hit fastballs.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) Man...really? This is the stance you are gonna take? Of all the holes in this team, it is the "Gordon Beckham was an awful draft pick" stance? Going into that draft, there is no way, NO WAY you were saying that. Hell, I venture to guess that 80-85% of the pundits thought that was a great pick. It is easy to second guess now, when you get to see stats 2 years later, and say "SEE!! I knew we made a mistake!!!11" I didn't say that. I liked the pick at the time. But what I like or don't like doesn't matter. This team can't produce a f***ing thing internally. It's pathetic. I can hindsight all I want. I don't get paid to scout, draft and develop major league talent. This team has no future whatsoever going forward. Save your '05 DVDs. That's all you're going to be able to hold on to until Ozzie, KW and hopefully JR are gone.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) And I'm sure you were all over them saying that back in July of 2009 too. That was nearly two years ago. When I see Andrew McCutchen, Mike Stanton, Buster Posey (before he got hurt), Logan Morrison, Gaby Sanchez and Eric Hosmer making their marks on this game, and Gordon Beckham doing his best '92 Steve Sax impersonation for a year and a half, yes, it was a bust of a pick.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 01:47 PM) According to what, your hatred for this team? Rank them against their position counterparts. It's not pretty. You don't need to do that with Harrell. You just know he has no business on a major league roster.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 01:50 PM) Juat a surprise You're an awesome drunk.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 01:48 PM) God it will be a glorious day when Juan Pierre is no longer on this team Only 350-400 PAs to go.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 01:47 PM) That's bulls*** and you know it. You can argue that Beckham was rushed, mishandled whatever. But there was nothing wrong with that pick. Picking him was pretty much universally applauded. IIRC the only other real option was Smoak? I don't remember but there was nothing wrong with drafting Beckham where we did Players drafted after Beckham: Smoak, Wallace, Weeks, Lawrie, Ike Davis. All are better prospects than Beckham, who's talent was greatly exaggerated.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 01:42 PM) 10 of the worst 200 maybe. 200? Fangraphs is your friend. These are absolutely 10 of the worst 30 players in baseball.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 01:40 PM) Oh GMAB there was nothing wrong with that pick. The Sox have fumbled every first round pick since 2000 (the jury is still out on Sale).

I've officially given up on GB ever becoming a star. I'll take league average 2B at this point. And that might be a stretch. Even when we get a top 10 pick we botch that.

Pathetic

The Chicago White Sox: home to 10 of the worst players in baseball: Juan Pierre Alex Rios Adam Dunn AJ Beckham Morel Teahen Pena Ohman Harrell

And here comes the second worst player in baseball in a key situation. This should be good.

I have to do this at least once a game. Juan Pierre: Too Big, Too Fast, Too Strong, Too Good

These two gentlemen are hot: Michael Morse since May 23rd: .364/.423/.795/1.218 Adam Lind since June 5th: .457/.524/1.029/1.552

Thank you. I thought for certain something bad was going to happen.

Oh my goodness. You just know something bad is about to happen here.

JP is so bad his ineptitude doesn't even make sense. How can he be so worthless against RH pitching? Make that 306 PAs for the worst player in baseball on June 16th.

I see Cuddyer is back.

Get a nice little break and can't take advantage.
