fathom

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:41 AM) What was terrific about Jake's start? He gave up 8 hits in 7 innings and three runs. It was solid, but not terrific. STFU Hawk. Yep, and it gave breathing room to a pitcher who excels in situations like that. I sure am glad we kept playing for one run with the bunt.

Overmatched....I hate this team, at least 2007 had the excitement of Fields during the 2nd half.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:38 AM) There's a reason some of us were not against White Flag II. We don't want the Sox to lose, we just understood the recent run was a mirage. Way too much reliance by some people on here of guys like Dunn and Rios turning their seasons around after they haven't shown one sign of life all season. The season will be over for the Sox by Sunday, and then we'll have to pray for some waiver deals.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:37 AM) Ed Wade. Jim Hendry. MacPhail. Those are clearly the three worst. KW is in that second-tier. MacPhail made some good moves in the last week, and J.J. Hardy has been a stud. He just had no prayer with his young starting rotation not living up to the hype.

The thing that baffles me is that if Kenny thought this team was close enough not to sell off players, why the heck didn't he try to get a piece or two to help this offense? I'm not talking superstar addition, but at least someone who can maybe hit the ball out of a Little League park.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:32 AM) Unfortunately, over the past 3 or 4 years, I honestly don't think there has been a worse GM in all of baseball. It would be hard to. Two other candidates, Wade and Hendry, will be out of a job shortly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:19 AM) So you got a third string reporter to say something on twitter, which literally none of the big named reporters have said a word about in Chicago. You mean the official Sox beat guy for their home television channel, CSN?

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:29 AM) I think there is a possibility that Adam Dunn would be claimed The Newark Bears aren't allowed to pick up guys in the MLB waiver process.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:25 AM) I'm pretty excited that we have 3 more YEARS of a 'power' hitter who has a snowballs chance in hell of getting a hit off a lefty. There's not a chance in hell he's here 3 more years. At this point, I'd be stunned if he's on the Sox come the start of 2013.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:25 AM) Dunn and Rios hitting 4th and 5th for a team with a payroll over 120 million dollars is an all-time example of the great combination of poor general managing and poor managing the White Sox have. Yet they keep their jobs...this is torture.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:24 AM) Just retire We need to fire KW now so he can become someone else's GM and claim all of our s***ty players off of waivers.

I know he's injured, but it's comical to think that Ozzie used to think there was no room for Viciedo on this roster.

Sit the f*** down. Maybe the most overmatched you'll ever see someone at the plate, and that's not a hyperbole.

Big hit there to avoid Dunn leading off the 9th

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:18 AM) Gmab, that almost worked You see how close Tex was playing him? If he would have picked it up, they would have got him easily.

Sure glad he gave up first strike trying to bunt.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:12 AM) Except for his entire minor league career. Talking about his approach at the plate in the majors. You do always make it sound like he was some huge power prospect, even though a lot of people were skeptical he'd ever be able to hit for power in the majors IIRC.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:09 AM) Power reliant means you'll have your days when the well is dry, but at least it means you'll have your days when the well is full. We almost never seem to put up huge games anymore offensively. It's sad how Ozzieball and Hawk has poisoned some of our fans into thinking a home run is a bad thing.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:09 AM) I thought Morel did the right thing going to opposite field. Was it just terrible or what? He's just too weak of a hitter to get it over the outfielder's head when he hits it that way. There is nothing offensively about the guy that projects as a MLB hitter.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 02:51 AM) It's less painful to think about Tweets than to think about giving away a free Colby Rasmus simply because Kenny's made so many horrific signings and trades. And don't forget giving up Quentin this offseason because we have something like 45 million tied up in Peavy/Dunn/Rios

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:07 AM) Brent Morel has been awful all season

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:07 AM) I long for the days when the Sox were loaded with HR hitters. Thank you! It's truly pathetic how we get no power at all from our catcher, third baseman, left fielder and center fielder.

Shut up Hawk...Morel just has no power at all.

Great speed!

Beckham simply sucks from the 7th inning on. If you can't hit a fastball, then why the f*** are you taking a slider?
