QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 07:05 PM) I really have a problem with a team always concerned about budget giving Teahen that ridiculous extension. If the Sox didn't trade for him, there was an excellent chance he would have been non tendered. As much crap as Ozzie is getting, Kenny Williams has done a HORRIBLE job as our GM since the Quentin trade.

Pena doing a solid job so far this season.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 07:01 PM) That's the scary thing. How are we going to get better when we have 30 million dollars wrapped up in 2 average players. I hope to hell somebody is willing to take those contracts. It's the only hope we have over the next few seasons. Just like with Teahen, we just have to hope they turn it around.

Nice 10 pitch inning

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 06:59 PM) It's hard to have a ERA under 3, you can't expect that of your pitching staff for the whole year. The fact that our crappy ass offense is in most of these games is more indicative of our pitching staff doing its job. Our starting pitching has underachieved so far. They've given us no chance to win in about 33% of the starts.

FWIW, I'm rooting for Kotsay to go 0-5 with 4 strike outs and for Vizquel to go 0-4.

I'm pretty sure Rice or TCU has some superstar infielder.

At least we'll see Santos pitch today.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 05:54 PM) I'm ready to go all out firesale and build around Danks, Santos, and Beckham. Not sure what to think about keeping Mark. I love Mark, but it might be best to get a lot for him and start over. I'd root for a firesale, but KW's history of trading veteran players for prospects is beyond awful.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) Now it's starting to get to the point where we should be think about contingency plans. What could we get for Peavy and Rios? Let's blow it up and upgrade the farm. Haha, yeah right....the Sox are stuck with those awful contracts.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) When does the statute of limitations expire on the KW and OG are geniuses because of 2005? Last offseason...we need to bring back Brian Dalgin, didn't we win it all in his only season doing pre/post game?

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 05:51 PM) They don't have the Metrodome anymore..... which means we'll play terrible in another stadium! If it's possible, we might play worse at Target Field with how deep left field plays.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) for the record, whenever the first "IN OR OUT???" thread is posted, put me down for OUT. This team is just so far away on so many levels. I was being sincere when I asked that earlier, and I am out also This just isn't a good team, and worse than that, they have no enthusiasm on the field.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) We've been told its nearly impossible to sweep a MLB team. The Sox are still sitting pretty today. Stone said something interesting, the Sox just don't bore White Sox fans, they drew the smallest crowds EVER at each of the two destinations on this road trip. It really is scary the ramifications that a disaster of a season will have on our payroll. But hey, we can afford to trade and sign AGon to an extension!!

Hey, our starting pitching is awesome! Everyone but Danks with a brutal start already once through the rotation already.

THIS.TEAM.IS.DEAD Gavin looks absolutely pathetic out there.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) Actually I don't think Gavin has it today? It's a road game, of course he doesn't.

Haha, another single on an inside pitch to Cabrera. f*** it, play Lucy every game.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 06:40 PM) When a scrap heap guy in Kotsay is your #3 hitter you are f***ed name me another team where this is happening! But according to the Sox, EVERYONE is going to the rotating DH. It's the new wave of baseball! The DH isn't going to make or break the Sox.

We don't still with Pierre for 6 pitches, but have Teahen go on the first pitch? Dear Ozzie, Mark Teahen is not fast. KNOW YOUR f***ING PLAYERS

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 06:36 PM) See I already heard people say Sox are out of it and those folks don't even post on ST. In all honesty, this season is shaping up to the be the last season for Ozzie, AJP, Konerko, etc. in a Sox uniform. Time for a rebuilding phase, because awful attendance will kill our payroll next season.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 06:35 PM) everyone sees the disaster happening before our eyes and everyone saw this coming except ozzie and his rose tinted glasses.... There were some other people on this site thinking this offense could work out. Remember, the Sox organization has made it seem like home runs are a bad thing.

Wow, I've never heard Hawk sound like this. 12 games in, and the season feels like it's gotten away from us.

Are you in or out?

Wow, Hawk sounds like he's going to kill himself. Nice defense out there by Kotsay. FIRE EVERYONE!
