Buehrle>Wood

Pretty big loss to come out of nowhere.

QUOTE (Boogua @ May 27, 2015 -> 10:59 PM) There's no way it's him. How would that make any sense? He has only been there for two years and he won 60 games with an ECF appearance in year two. I hope you're right though. New owners want their own guy. Certainly would not be the first time

An NBA big shot who I know and trust just told me a coach is getting fired in next couple days, and nobody sees it coming. -Sheridan If it's Budenholzer like I'm thinking, Bulls better have that s*** on speed dial.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 27, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) I'd assume Jennings is the pick out of those 2? Agreed. Scott has been terrific this year but need him with Beck going tomorrow.

So Carroll or Jennings, who do you want closing?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 27, 2015 -> 02:45 PM) Somehow I knew Ventura would get blame in this thread, never fails. ? I haven't seen ventura brought up by anyone other than Dick Allen, an avid defender of ventura.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2015 -> 09:10 AM) One of the more interesting things I have seen debated is that the Jordan vs LeBron debate has been being framed wrongly. The focus has been primarily on who each guy had on their team. Change the focus to who each guy has beaten on in the playoffs. Look at how many Hall of Famers and top 50 all time players Michael Jordan beat on the way to his 6 titles. How many future HOFers do you think LeBron has beaten? Are we talking title runs only, I assume? Duncan, Parker, Ginobli, Pierce, Garnett, Allen, Melo, Durant and possibly Westbrook all come to mind. Gasol and Steph Curry could be added to that list this year depending on how things play out.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 27, 2015 -> 08:31 AM) the owner's rep of not firing their cronies comes to mind. but this discussion, who is a good candidate to replace him in the interim. My pick would be Don Cooper. I don't think he'll be part of the next managing regime, unless he is the manager himself, so might as well give him that chance now. He deserves it after all these years in the organization There's a good chance he's a disaster, which is fine by me. No different then what is going now. At best, his fiery personality could light a fire under this team. His personality will be good to grab some much needed headlines even when we stink. Keep us somewhat relevent. Similar to Ozzie in that regard.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 27, 2015 -> 08:21 AM) Which ones doomed the White Sox? They gave up 10 runs. They all were earned. There was an error but that meant nothing. If Carlos Sanchez bobbles a ball or Jose Abreu drops a pop up, as much as you think it is Robin's fault, they still would do the same thing if someone else was sitting in the dugout. We might as well start a thread about acquiring Bryce Harper and Mike Trout. The chances are just as good that happens. This thread was created to hopefully generate more Robin bashing. Last night was not on the manager. You had Abreu bobble a ball, Sanchez bobble a ball, no one tell Sanchez about a man running home, and Shuck completely misplay a ball In the outfield. And I only was able to watch about a third of the game. That's a lot of mistakes. And it's not like it's some one off game. Similar mistakes have been made all year, almost every game. Maybe firing Ventura won't change anything, but it's certainly worth it to see at this point. It can't possibly hurt anything. The other solution is replacing 4-5 players which, I don't even have to say this, is essentially impossible midseason.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 27, 2015 -> 08:16 AM) They are major leaguers. Basic fundamental mistakes are the fault of major leaguers. Well then, it won't hurt the franchise canning Ventura.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 27, 2015 -> 07:33 AM) Why is this a thread today? How did Ventura lose last night's game? I don't think the White Sox have a dumb fan base but people looking at this site lately would think otherwise. Basic fundamental plays doomed us yet again last night. Please the blame on who you see fit.

It's not really a risk when your manager has already been proven himself to be awful.

Thought this deserved it's own thread. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/05/27/sport...0&referrer=

No way Ventura has a job come June 1, right? Right?

Ugh eaton

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 26, 2015 -> 06:52 PM) Sort of off-topic, but i can NOT get over all the idiots that want to bring Ozzie back, lol. I'd take Ozzie over Ventura in a heartbeat. Not that I want Ozzie back though.

No it was stupid to enable the pos.

Man its going to suck when hawk is gone.

Who had the genius idea of giving Toronto a home game on memorial day?

Wtf was that overturn...cubs so lucky

The Bears management deserve every word of criticism coming their way for signing that pos

More bad defense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 24, 2015 -> 01:51 PM) I have no idea what makes people look at Soto's numbers for the past half decade and think "oh this guy's a legit contributor and a candidate starter". You could pretty much say the same for flowers

Pay attention to Frank Isola's twtitter. Thibs knows he's out and is/will feed him stuff.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 22, 2015 -> 10:03 AM) Those are reasons for me why I'd actually like to see them do it. The team is quite good at this exact path. It's not really the exact path though, since he's a reliever now. I have no problem if they give the Sale/Rodon treatment to another pitcher, just not Jay in particular.
