Please make some changes, this team is going to make even passionate fans stop watching.

I listen to B and B every day and I never felt like they were giving unfair criticism to the Sox.

Just about time to DFA Veal

Good job Kepp

Any chance we can have Adam Dunn talk to Kerry Wood about retiring during the season?

Wow just wow. So glad Dunn is here

I am stunned by how awful the Sox lineup is today. Dunn has no business being in there, and the current bench shows a lack of preparation by the front office.

I wouldn't mind a power hitting corner infielder with the first pick.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 12:04 AM) "I'm a vet and I want that guy in my foxhole!" What he say?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:57 PM) I do not blame Ventura for trying to win the game in the 9th inning. If you want to blame him for having Keppinger at 1st in that situation, fine, you're deluding yourselves. Maybe it's easier to blame Robin than the players making the plays (or more accurately, not making the plays). We got 1 run off a guy who's been a gas can this season. I blame Ventura more for having a lineup where the only guy hitting well (Rios) has two automatic outs batting in front and behind him. It makes it so difficult to string together multiple hits in an inning the way the lineup is formed now. Konerko needs to be batting 4th, end of story.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:50 PM) Anyone just hope and prey Dunn will go away and retire after this season? If he's going to suck this season (like 2011), the board is 100% on board with that.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:47 PM) Are you kidding me. How many short hops and long hops and other Alexei side armed, held too long, lazy throws has Konerko scooped out of the dirt in the last couple of years. And you don't think that the regular 1st baseman who has a history of scooping these might of had more success than the utility guy we swung over there. We'll never know if PK would have scooped it, but he's no worse than 80-90% it seems at scooping low throws by our infield. All I know is that Keppinger had his chance to scoop it, and he failed badly.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:46 PM) For no other reason than they share the same city, are the Cubs better situated than the Sox at this point in time? It's pretty close...Sox have the young pitching the Cubs aren't close to having, but the Cubs offensive prospects/young players are significantly better than the White Sox. The Cubs have the whole "money to spend" issue that would make the Sox rebuild a lot easier.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:45 PM) Your not in management anywhere right? I don't think he's rooting for them to lose, but flavum is huge into projecting records for teams, and if he feels like the Sox are at best an 81-83 win team, then I'm sure he's fine with them getting out of contention early so they can try to unload basically anyone on the roster not named Sale, Santiago or Quintana.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:41 PM) If Robin Ventura was not a former White Sox player that was hand picked and had to convinced to manage, he would be in the hottest seat in all of MLB. The fundamentals that were lacking in Ozzie-managed teams and stressed so much early in 2012 that led the White Sox to be in 1st for most of the season only to fall apart in September have somehow managed to carry over 6 months later into the 2013 season and is costing the team dearly. That is 100% unacceptable and someone needs to held accountable. Unfortunately accountability is a four-letter word for the Chicago White Sox baseball organization. This is a failure all around, from the top on down and it is pathetic to see. Ventura had the easiest job on the planet last year, as he was "not Ozzie Guillen". I don't know what the heck happened to him and the team the last month of 2012 and the first month of this season, but it's going to be a very short stay for him as Sox manager if he's not able to generate some excitement with the team and the organization.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:40 PM) That was brutal. It's simply amazing how much last year's collapse has continued into this season.

Yay, keep batting Keppinger 2nd and Dunn 4th. Awful offensive performance, this team is lifeless this season.

ADA striking out at an alarming rate. That pitch was right down the plate.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:36 PM) The strategy is to rebuild on the fly. This strategy only works if you either tradeable assets and/or a decent minor league. I say the strategy this season was more "maintain". I think we'll see more of a rebuild next year and then start to add more pieces with more money coming off the books.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:36 PM) I like the shape of his swing, but he never hits anything. Ever. Completely agree

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:34 PM) Escobar would have been safe at 1st, even the official scorer called that one. He should have gone for the out at 3rd. With that said, Keppinger has to keep the runner from being able to advance home.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:34 PM) Giminez looks bad. His bat speed looks AAA-ish. Not surprising, I never heard anyone actually think he could make it at this level.

Haha, he missed that by a foot.

Wow, Gimenez gets the call...interesting
