QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 20, 2010 -> 03:01 AM) Wow, suprised to see you pop back in here after Nix makes a mistake. Can we stop with posts like this?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 20, 2010 -> 02:00 AM) I keep switching off between this game and the Rays/Yankees. I've done that a lot this year. In years past I was 100% focused on the Sox game. Only time I'd switch off is during commercial breaks. I've watched probably 40% of this Sox game. Just saw the Pierre catch for the first time, it was very nice.

Starlin Castro is closing in on having more hits this season than Beckham. Cubs have had a horse shoe up their ass the last 4 games, as they've had a ton of seeing-eye singles with 2 outs to score runs.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ May 20, 2010 -> 01:58 AM) It's still hard to believe how much we heard about Nix having a great glove before he got here. Atrocious from day one at all positions. Actually, he's great at 2nd base.

Nix with the same amount of errors as hits this year?

Wow, wow, wow! That looked like Little League. BLOW THIS TEAM UP PLEASE!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 20, 2010 -> 01:55 AM) Man this team is so f***ing boring. I don't even really look forward to games anymore (although I watch every pitch of every inning possible). Couldn't agree more, I don't know who in their right mind would buy walk-up tickets for a game.

What's the latest with Thornton?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 20, 2010 -> 02:47 AM) For who? AGon? He would've been gone if that were the case. Obviously as part of a bigger package, I just don't think he'll hit enough home runs to justify his awful contact rate.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 20, 2010 -> 02:42 AM) I think Quentin's going deep in the bottom half...I called a Teahen hit yesterday. Lets try this. WTP

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 20, 2010 -> 02:44 AM) It's extremely disheartening that Danks could wind up with a 1-hit loss. It's awesome if it finally leads to changes. We keep chasing the pitcher's pitch on the first pitch. Brilliant strategy!

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 20, 2010 -> 01:38 AM) This is the part of the game where the Angels score 2 or 3 runs and we feel as if the game is officially over...yet we keep watching. Danks lost his release point this inning.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 20, 2010 -> 02:32 AM) 2 hole hitters must bunt according to Ozzie's 1950's baseball manual. I'm sure a certain person will be on here to defend that decision soon.

Any stat person able to find a situation where a sac bunt by the Sox led to a run this season? I can't recall many.

OZZIEBALL! Nothing like giving up the first out. Jones should not be batting 3rd, he's already hitting the wall it seems.

Excellent play by Pierre!

Nice play by Nix!

9 in a row retired, not even coming close the last few hitters.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 20, 2010 -> 02:12 AM) We're not even homering anymore. One homerun on the road trip. It was bound to happen once Konerko and Jones cooled off. The two have combined for a homer a piece over last 13 games.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 20, 2010 -> 01:10 AM) God our offense is boring I'm actually watching the Suns/Lakers game primarily tonight.

Jordan Danks is just not a very good hitter. Too bad we didn't trade him last offseason if the Padres valued him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2010 -> 10:35 PM) You counted last year as "Absolutely awful"? We hung pretty close to .500 most of the year despite hundreds of at bats trying to develop Fields, Getz, Anderson, etc., and we might well have had a shot at the division had Quentin's foot not gone out. Yes, and so did Kenny Williams. Him and JR vowed to not have another year like last season.

Kinda interesting there's only been one real trade rumor so far this season, and that was involving AJP. You would have thought that Buehrle/Konerko/Jenks, etc. were having their names thrown around to prospective teams with meetings like this. Almost seems like KW is trying to convince himself not to give up.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 19, 2010 -> 11:21 PM) Greg, are you even watching? Beckham has been batting under .200 for about a month now, and he doesnt look any better now than he did before. We are happy he is batting 9th because we want him to get better and return to the 2 hole. And if you think this board is not representative of the regular white sox fan, well I dont know what to tell you. This is a passionate board, both negatively and positively, the problem is that the Sox have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING this year to warrant any positive spin on the season. And this is coming from a Glass Half Full guy. Get with it Greg, unless the Sox start earning that 100 million dollar payroll, there will be changes. I was actually impressed when I went to a game 2 weeks ago with the fans who were booing Pierre after his very first AB of grounding out to 2nd base.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 19, 2010 -> 11:06 PM) But if the whole city wants Ozzie fired then I guess the mob mentality wins over. Have you ever thought that maybe you're in the minority of wanting Ozzie to stay as a manager? I'm not say you're right or wrong, but it's pretty naive to think that only one's opinion is correct. I'll be the first person to suggest that my belief that Ozzie needs to go for the improvement of this organization could be flawed. All I go by is the results on the field, and we're heading for 3 out of 4 absolutely awful seasons.
