QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 05:05 AM) Beckham's performance this year has seriously f***ed this team over. The offense would look so much better if he played up to his ability. agreed

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 05:03 AM) I have no freaking idea how this team went 15-3 against the NL. I know the NL sucks (although not as badly this year) and we had some weak competition, but this team just does not have the offense to put up stretches like that. Certainly not against AL offenses because we just won't get the pitching against them that we did against the NL. If we're going to add a bat, it'd better be a big one and we'd better do it soon if contention is on our minds. We played 4 series against terrible teams, and we played our best series of the year against the Braves (who are much better at home).

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 03:58 AM) fathom, have you gone to any games this year? If so, how do you handle watching this team in person? Been to 5...I'm very calm at them, to be honest. They're also 4-1 at the games I've been at.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 03:57 AM) Well not only that, but there is a lot of unhappiness among important people in our organization right now. This is not the season for an 81 win team. Either have them in contention all season, or let them fall out of the race in the next few weeks. Crap, looks like Quentin forgot how to stay balanced at the plate.

Garcia's doing all he can to keep us in this game. Feels like we're going to need a home run to tie this.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 04:52 AM) If it's possible for an organization in the middle of a pennant race to be a mess, we've pulled it off. We're headed for baseball hell...78-83 or so wins

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 03:48 AM) I think it's pretty clear there is more pressure on KW within the organization than there is on Ozzie. I'm a little concerned he'd overpay to try and make it look like he's giving Ozzie the tools to win this year. Then again, with KW moving to a different position after this season (all signs point to Hahn taking over), KW doesn't have as much responsibility to keep the future intact.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 03:49 AM) Who is throwing around those names? People making educated guesses on here? No, people that actually know

wow, that's a soft grounder! pretty pathetic offensive effort so far, as Lewis is topping out at 91 mph.

Ok Konerko, pretend it's the 8th inning

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 03:46 AM) Did he get on again? grounded out hard to SS...unlike Vizquel, who looks his age tonight. JUST PLAY VICIEDO!

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 04:46 AM) C'mon. The man isn't an idiot. He knows that. You sure of that? Those are the names being thrown around.

Hawk trying to become Pierre's agent tonight? You'd think Pierre hit 3 of the hardest balls in baseball history.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 04:43 AM) You gotta admit. Sweaty Freddy is a pretty good No. 5 starter. He'll give up 2-4 runs through 6 or 7 innings. Not bad at all. Should Rios have had that triple? I only saw it briefly. Would have been a great play. He seemed to stumble a little about as he went for the dive, and might have messed up his vision.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 04:41 AM) fathom, KW knows he can't dump those guys without a significant return. That would totally screw this team going forward. Then again, if Flowers, Hudson and Sale are bad -- we are screwed anyway. Yes, but what KW considers a significant return might be different than what we would (ie: 3 months of Adam Dunn is not a sig return)

wow, BUST!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 04:39 AM) Can we beat the Rangers? No

I really hope that if the Sox do trade guys like Hudson and Flowers, it's for someone that will be around next season. I'd hate to put all our eggs into this season, as it's hard to win with so many underachieving players.

K.C. Johnson saying that Heat still likely destination for Wade. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baske...702,0,967.story

Last year, that's a home run for Beckham. This year, he just can't get his hands in quick enough. Greg Walker, please fix him!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 03:34 AM) Hey fathom, enjoy the last 3 innings of the Cubs game today? It's frightening to think we don't even have the worst offense in our own city. Yes, that was insane. Some great patience by the Reds hitters. I don't know why the Cubs won't fire Piniella. He obviously doesn't want to be there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 04:32 AM) Yes, of course. be happy you can't watch this

Special AB by Kotsay, as he didn't swing once. But hey, he hit a deep fly ball that got caught last game!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 04:31 AM) That's ok...just get out of it here. behind on the tracker?

How soon until the next storm? It would suck to get past the 5th and not be able to complete this game.
