Nepotism Night would be great. Everyone that has a job because of their dad would receive either an Oney Bobblehead or a KW Jr. Bobblehead

I'm sad that Hawk didn't announce the game tonight. He might have been speechless for the last 20 minutes of the game.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ May 4, 2011 -> 04:01 AM) KW will be the first to go. I think he has a shred of dignity and will eventually fall on his sword. In a few months. My prediction is Walker goes sometime in May, Ozzie leaves for Florida at end of year, and KW becomes VP with Hahn taking over during offseason.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 4, 2011 -> 04:00 AM) Something's about to crack on this whole thing. I don't think they wait much longer. Either this Thursday or next Thursday, we will see someone terminated if this terrible stretch continues (in my opinion).

Seriously, me neither. Not that anyone cares, but I've emotionally checked out on this team. Sure, they can suck me back in with a 25-5 stretch, but I just don't believe in the organization right now. I'll be watching games now to enjoy Santos, Humber, and hope to see improvements from Beckham/Quentin/Rios/Dunn/Sale/Floyd/Morel

Ozzie "that's just the way we roll, I guess"

Wait, this hasn't been happening all year?

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:38 AM) wow,talk about a big mistake signing dunn lol i liked it at the time. but yea, i guess there were a few red flags, when he ended the second half so bad and he didnt even want to dh. he came out saying he would and whatever the team wanted, but only because they offered the most money I blame the Cubs

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:38 AM) Don't worry guys, we have all this talent in the minors. This organization is so, so f***ed. Time to get Viciedo up here. In all honesty, Omar is a waste of a roster spot, especially if Ozzie refuses to pr him or refuses to use him in mop-up duty.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:35 AM) Arms, hands, same s***. Extending you arms leads to longer swings, period. I haven't been able to watch the White Sox as much as I'd like (though it seems that may not be so bad) but they're approach is just bad. As a team, they don't have a plan at the plate. Each guy is up there doing his own thing. You know I was one of "Slayer's" biggest fans at first, but it's truly vomit-inducing seeing what's become of his swing. The Orioles were just attacking him with 90 mph inside fastballs, and he looked like how we would.

Ozzie's going to tell Jay Mariotti to view this thread

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:32 AM) It's such a terrible misconception that hitters need to extend their hands. All it does is slow down their swing even more. I have no clue what Walker is telling these guys, but it isn't working. Extend arms, I clearly meant (not sure if you did). Neither guy has any power because they're just pushing the bat thru the zone.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:30 AM) what does 05 have to do with anything? and no, pk isnt part of the problem. hes the only good thing we have you defend Ozzie more than anyone it seems. Accept my apology if it's not due to 2005.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:26 AM) You know Morel actually hit some homers last season in his brief time, I wonder if Walker found a way to f*** him up too. SMH. His load is terrible. Just like with Beckham, neither of them can get their hands extended. Morel's stance looks like that of a NL pitcher.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:28 AM) well if you're making multi millions and need someone to motivate u,thats just having pathetic players. i dont see paulie needing anyone to motivate him(i know, no hits by him today but hes doing good) Haha, you need to get over 2005. Lots of people are coming out of the woodwork suggesting Konerko is part of the problem, and not part of the solution.

In the grand scheme of things, it's hard to imagine how KW will keep his job. It's his 128 million dollar team that is underachieving, and he's put the organization into a situation where competing the next few years seems a longshot.

Sox chased at least 4 ball fours tonight against a pitcher with no command. I love guys like Morel and Beckham, who have no power, swinging out of their asses with a 3 ball count.

On the bright side, Jackson's trade value might have increased tonight.

haha

Greg Walker, you f***ing suck.

Alexei with a few hangers to hit there.

Alexei way too early with his swing. Good slider and he gone

Is this ump on our payroll? Doug Eddings Jr. here. Hell of a take by Juan, but that was a strike for Jackson/Thornton.

Wow, what a weak swing by Morel on the 3-1. Hopefully that's the last we see of him in Chicago this year. What a flop
