QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 07:07 PM) Nice to see Mitchell/Thompson both leading their respective leagues in Ks. And Walker seems to be of the same ilk. Good lord this franchise is bad at drafting. Really, really, bad. You have to wonder if Sox are going to have lowest ranked farm system after this year? Teams that were generally ranked below them, like the Brewers and Astros, have seen really good years for their minor leaguers and/or traded for prospects.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) I think it's an apt description of our tough-talking GM. I would say both our manager and GM are tough-talkers who don't back it up.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 10:28 AM) The last 2 posts make me laugh so hard that im going to sleep. Its so serious that i can barely even take half the posters on this board seriously anymore. I guess ill go cry myself to sleep about how Soxtalk used to be a forum for those who understood baseball, but now its just a breeding ground for ridiculousness. Sorry folks but the facts are the facts. What is wrong with the previous two posts? Rios is wrapping up one of the worst seasons in Sox history. If not for Dunn, he'd be getting even more heat.

Please don't Carlos, we need your money on the books next year

K. Walker struggling big time since his promotion

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 03:55 AM) 7 out by the end of the weekend. It was a nice run, but people got way too excited about a 6-1 record against two terrible teams. It was fun though at least for a week.

As a Cubs hater, it would be awful if Zambrano retired and saved the Cubs the rest of his money. Come back Carlos!!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 03:52 AM) Put Thornton on waivers for the love of god! Should have been traded at the deadline.

Hey Kenny...still plenty of time to unload Thornton on someone else. He's just not a 6 million dollar a year pitcher anymore.

Just saw where Zambrano "retired" tonight

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:47 AM) He was getting booed more than that earlier. He and Dunn need to have a joint retirement announcement this winter. I was wondering this question earlier: Is Dunn having the worst season in modern day professional sports history for an established player?

QUOTE (South Paw @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:46 AM) ...and rios is back Amazing what facing Baltimore's pitching will do for someone

Some boos for Rios!!

For supposedly having power, I don't think I've seen Flowers hit a ball longer than 250 feet when he's been a member of the Sox.

What a shock, another pop up to the right side at home for Quentin.

What the hell are you swinging at Alexei?

Tigers win

I swear, Beckham has like 5 or fewer hits all year from the 7th inning on.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:12 AM) Thanks Will, made Stewart look better How did he look tonight?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:06 AM) I hope you're right, that'd be a relief. I've seriously become convinced he's untouchable. He'll "retire"

Wouldn't the smart move be to walk Melky to set up the DP against Butler?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:54 AM) Our performance this year against Bruce Chen alone is a fireable offense for Greg Walker. Not that such a thing would ever happen in this organization. He'll be let go so quickly if Ozzie goes elsewhere

Walker does a great job if teaching these guys how to hit lefties. Nothing like having a team with no power and no speed

Poor Rios. Hope he can handle boos

Rios' hot streak lasted like four games. Offense needs to start showing up at home
