QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 27, 2009 -> 01:45 AM) f*** it - i'm going with an epic 0-fer road trip. It wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen. Maybe someone would finally be held accountable.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2009 -> 01:43 AM) This team f***ing sucks. Yep, probably the second worst Sox team in at least the last 8 years. Yet, no one will lose their job.

Wow is Tony Pena pathetic. KW's moves this year are looking worse by the second.

If you didn't look at the player's face, you would think Brian Anderson was still on the Sox with 60 million dollars remaining on his contract. Absolutely terrible at bats by Rios.

So how many games are we away from having a protected slot in the draft?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 27, 2009 -> 01:01 AM) The coaching staff is here forever. Only 3rd base coaches get replaced. Well, getting rid of Cox would be a good start. As someone said earlier, every season around this time is the same.

Couple of thoughts as I couldn't be less entertained by White Sox baseball if I tried: - nothing like not having Pods run for Thome when Thome will just strike out against Papelboner's high fastball - Greg Walker better not be back next year - It's too bad this team didn't fall out of contention earlier so we could have done a waiver deal to get Jermaine off this team.

The run counts, it's actually happened a few times the past three seasons.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 02:49 AM) He was done before Rios was picked up. This slide has been going on for a while now. If he had anything left in the tank you would see it now with the pressure to perform with Rios here. He hasnt improved at all. He is free falling. Something to notice about Jermaine's swing is it's all upper body. He's not getting his legs into his swing at all.

Something that CQ has struggled with this year is cutting down his swing with RISP. Last year, he had a lot of clutch singles when he just served the ball into the outfield.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 02:43 AM) Jermaines gonna make it real easy on KW in the offseason The day Rios came to the Sox, Dye's ticket out of town was punched. Watch him sign with Texas in the offseason.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:42 AM) I've said this, I also think Brian has said the same. This defense really makes fielding look difficult.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:39 AM) Somebody please explain to me why Ozzie Guillen's job isn't at least questioned strongly right now. He's doing an awful job this year, and his move to a 4 man rotation almost knocked us out of the playoffs last year. You know him, KW, Walker, and Cooper have job security for life. I truly feel like Ozzie did a great job during the 1st half of the year, but he's been absolutely atrocious the 2nd half of the year.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:36 AM) im still fuming about AJ not even trying to block that f***ing pitch btw.....there are balls int he dirt he just stabs at i feel every other game instead of blocking it...and of course hawk never says a word about it because they go way back.... his offense has been as good this year as he's had in a sox uni He cost us a run in the 2nd inning cause he let a forkball go right below him.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:29 AM) unequivocally, the worst move of kenny williams tenure has been the Jose Contreras extension Now you sound like me. The Rios extension and the Pena/Allen trade could be in the equation down the road.

I really enjoyed the 3-2 fastball with an open base to Lowell, who's one of the best fastball hitters in the world.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:26 AM) You can't just go to the pen with 20 straight games and burn your pen out. If Jose can't pitch out of the 3rd, he needs to be gone. Cuban piece of s***. Bulls***, you play to win the game (not directed towards you Brian). It was obvious to my dead grandma that Contreras was finished. When he walked Bay to make it 4-3, you take him out. Who knows how many other games we'll have this road trip where we're winning.

It's getting to the point where the only reason to watch the team is when Beckham and Quentin are batting. Our manager continues to make just terrible decisions handling his pitchers.

Can Contreras and Ozzie just please walk into the locker room and never put on a Sox jersey again?

Don't worry guys, we have Garcia going tomorrow!

Another gift run. Keep standing there Ozzie, it's always more important to get veterans confidence than try to win a game.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:22 AM) Such a f***ing waste. I am SO GODDAMN tired of Jose Contreras. The last 3 1/2 years of him have been painful to watch.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:20 AM) That was seriously one of the most pathetic-looking things I've ever seen watching a baseball game. Hawk's about ready to burst. I can't believe he's still in this game.

Pull him if Bay gets on.

Only about 7 more starts and we don't have to deal with him again. It's just painful watching him pitch.
