This team sucks

Alexei's head if flying off the ball tonight. Needs to stay closed just a little longer.

Oh Hawk, shut up. That was foul by 30 feet

Konerko with an awful game.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 02:46 AM) What a fun game. Nice job Bulls. Hinrich had a studly effort on Deron. Defense was just lockdown. Boozer with a great game. Noah was a beast and props to Rose. He did a nice job getting in the guys ears and cheering. Secretly I hope that it also gets him more into the game and hopefully more willing to get on the court. Great job Bulls!!! Belinelli was total horses***. Single handedly looked like he wanted to cost the Bulls the game with his selfish offense. Nice birthday gift for you!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 03:44 AM) He's making $5.5 million to be the "non-closer" still. Do you really think it's going to matter to fine him $1000? It will just make the attitude in the clubhouse even worse at this point. They need someone like Kirk Gibson or Bo Porter and to add a lot more youth into that line-up. Thornton/Crain/Lindstrom will have value somewhere else, maybe you can just dump Thornton's salary or eat part of it and just start over with the back end of the bullpen. I said it earlier today, but don't expect much in return for Thornton. If anything, you try to save a million or so by dealing him.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 03:42 AM) Paint by numbers managing. I want back the manager (Ventura) that was anything but that for the first 4 months or so of last season. Austin Powers needs to use a time machine to go back and find Ventura's managerial mojo.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 02:40 AM) This will be the first time they led after 7 and lost, if they do. Addison Reed has been great this year, so clearly Ventura wanted Thornton to face Cabrera.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 02:39 AM) You look at the roster and it screams 75 wins. Sorry but that's the truth. We needed the younger guys to break out and the older guys to NOT decline. Not happening. If Dunn plays like 2011 Dunn and it takes Beckham/Viciedo long to recover, it looks more like a 70 win team. The AL Central is way better than it was last season.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 02:36 AM) No he is as bad a in game manager Sox have had since Terry Bevington. I'd have to imagine the TV ratings for this game are about as low as they've been since the Hawks were in the Stanley Cup.

Hawk is as pissed as I've heard him at the team in a very long time.

Do you think Ventura had any clue that Cabrera is better against LHP than RHP over the course of his career?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 03:31 AM) I can't wait for the guys who contracts end the next two years to ALL go. This team needs an overhaul of talent and attitude.

I have never seen a team that executes worse than this team. 2011 was pretty bad, but this team seems like they've never been coached in any aspect of the game. Ventura's demeanor seems to be rubbing off on the team.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 02:30 AM) Cabrera, just to rub it in, was hitting .143 coming into that AB. You just knew it was coming. He could have been 0 for 43, it wouldn't have mattered a bit. Outside of Adam Dunn, most Major League hitters can hit 94 mph fastballs right down the plate when they know it's coming.

I'm so happy Thornton is gone after this season.

This team doesn't deserve to win s*** with the way they're playing.

Tyler Flowers is not very good at calling pitches.

Nice meatball on the first pitch. Also, why is Danks playing so deep? Ventura's not lasting the year.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 02:27 AM) Why anyone would pay to see this? They're not

Terrible...this team is horrible at so many things.

Meanwhile, Hector Santiago neither gets to start or be used in meaningful situations very often.

Thornton's fastball seems so flat. When you get 2 strikes on Stubbs, you should be able to get the K.

I'd rather have Lillibridge on the roster than Tekotte. Similar speed and at least Lillibridge gives you more versatility.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 03:15 AM) Fun bad Remember when De Aza was impossible to double up?
