QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 03:48 AM) AJ's 10/5 rights kick in on the Sunday of the Cubs series. Interesting, even though there's no doubt in my mind Konerko and AJP would jump ship in a heartbeat if they get traded, approval needed or not.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 02:46 AM) I can't fathom how they would hold onto AJ now. KW could without being fully insane have said "well, we've got a lot of home games coming up, let's see how they go before pulling the trigger, we have that week or so". We've lost 3 of the first 4. He's probably waiting until the end of next weekend and the Cubs series.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 02:45 AM) If this is the Beckham, Quentin, Peavy, and Buehrle that we have from now on...disagreement is impossible. The only one I'm confident in saying will improve is Beckham. Peavy's on his way to becoming the AL version of Barry Zito it seems.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 03:41 AM) That biggest part of the joke is that Freddy Garcia is our #1 pitcher, bahahah. I'm sure Balta will disagree with me, but I truly feel like the Astros are the only franchise in worse shape than the Sox right now. Not many teams can have one of the worst records while having an absolutely atrocious farm system with remaining bad contracts.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 02:09 AM) Hey, at least the Cubs are losing. Makes today be a 2 out of 10 instead of a 1 out of 10

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 02:32 AM) Danks is the real deal i believe that but Floyd has me second guessing him lately Jenks idk what to say about this dude any more Danks is a strong #3 starter, but I still think he has a far ways to go with regards to his mechanics in order to reach his potential.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 03:28 AM) You pull pitchers after 0 outs, 0 runs, and 2 hits? Who did you want? Linebrink or Williams? I'm happy he left him in...overcoming adversity is good for Santos right now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 02:27 AM) Is there anything humanly possibly that Ozzie could do that you might consider criticizing him at some point? Anything? Well, he's contributed to making the Sox one of the 5 worst franchises in baseball...so I guess not.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 03:23 AM) Assuming the firesale is coming very soon ... Do you think the Sox are going to rebuild a team capable of beating teams in its own division? When we won it in 05, there was the belief we would simply have a better team (on paper) than any team in our division from some time to come. We would make the playoffs regularly over these division pissants then take our chances in the postseason. Now we do not match up with Cleveland, KC plays OK against us and Minnie is so much better than us it's not even worth discussing. We used to beat Detroit like a drum no longer. How important is it to have a team on paper that is built to compete with teams in the division? We regularly get our asses handed to us by division foes. Problem is that the Twins look to be very strong for the next 3 seasons or so, and the Tigers have a pretty great strong core as well with Cabrera and Verlander. The talent gap from the Twins to the White Sox hasn't been greater in decades.

Yikes, not a good outing for Santos.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 03:20 AM) Gordon Hopefully I'm not the Second Coming of Caruso Beckham Don't forget Josh Fields as well

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 03:17 AM) The baseball IQ of this team is zero.........outfielders drop fly balls and hitters give away at bats at an alarming rate. The veterans set a really good example.

Beckham with a good swing, the ball just doesn't jump off of his bat though. One of these months, he'll get an extra base hit.

That was a great AB by AJP

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 02:02 AM) Couldn't one of the Top 10 NCAA teams do better than 1-6 versus this year's CLE Indians team? Well, odds are that we draft the #3 starter for the University of Texas with our first pick.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 03:02 AM) I really do hope they fire Oz so you guys will be happy. It's grown so old to hear the same ol b****ing about a horses*** team. Please fire Ozzie so you guys can complain about the next guy. I'm in a s*** mood but not because of Danks imploding in the sixth inning. My god if he can't go six, he deserves to stay in and get f***ing rocked. Ridiculous. But you guys blame the manager instead of Danks. Amazing. I'm mad because the Hawks are getting their asses bludgeoned in all phases of the game. Hopefully home ice will fix what ails the Hawks. PLEASE FIRE OZZIE! If you think Ozzie is still the answer for the manager of this team, then we'll never agree. I see a team that plays with no energy, no baseball IQ, and continuous underachievement in all areas of the game.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 03:00 AM) Well, the more we lose, the sooner Ozzie and Kenny are gone.. soo. It would be nice to see someone held accountable for an absolute abortion of a season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 01:58 AM) The Sox have 2 other guys with >10 home runs though. Konerko's out of the lineup

what's the attendance like for the game?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 01:55 AM) Ozzie F--K YOU, you're a complete idiot. Thanks for just giving the Indians another game this season. You must have bet on this game. There's no other reason to explain losing to this Indians' team. Is the Indians line-up worse than the Sox? I'm not convinced it is. Both have one good player in it (Choo vs Rios), and then the rest are pretty awful.

Holy s*** Ozzie, you really do want to get fired!

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) Danks hasn't been good for over a month. We really, really suck. His ERA is skyrocketing, but it was bound to happen as he hasn't been very good since the Tampa start early in the year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) Ozzie now officially the worst manager in baseball. When you have our bullpen and Danks is fading, why the HELL do you not pull Danks??? Cause how can you get Danks the win if you pull him?

Danks with a pretty sad effort this inning, but it's tough to pitch when you have no room for error.

Alexei vying to have 2nd highest order on the team.
