QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 09:07 PM) Beckham is NOT an automatic out, and Castro is not an everyday player. Yes I agree that BA and Getz seem to be an easy out but you need to lay off Beckham, I don't care if he goes 0-40 hes not going to be an automatic out over his career and all this is doing is giving him valuable experience. For some reason, there's some people on here that want to see Beckham fail. Maybe it's Ozzie's kids.

Really good eye!!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) I'll stand by my arguments. Colon is a joke. His line today versus a bad team again is a joke. I also believe my other two comments, but I respect those who differ in opinion on those topics. To play this badly at home against pissant teams is disgraceful. To have four automatic outs in the lineup on a given day is ridiculous. At least Lexi got two more hits today. And I'll say this greg...I don't believe Ozzie is effective as manager of this team anymore. There appears to be no motivation, and I'm so sick of him not protecting our players on the field. No retaliation calls and never arguing with the umps.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) To be fair I don't think the drafting of Beckham was met with too many rave reviews here. We were still in that stage of clamoring for a toolsy HS player. Maybe I'm wrong though. We all loved it, as we should have. The Sox brass, I know for a fact, were stunned he fell to us.

Keep swinging at balls guys!!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 09:00 PM) Why would you want Colon around? How can you argue Beckham has not been rushed up? How can you argue our veteran bats are inconsitent? None of our veterans are capable of carrying this team for a period of time. PK, Dye, and AJP have been pretty consistent all season. Read my post above this about Colon. And Beckham just had his best swing on the Sox. If that ball is 5 inches shallower, he has a 2 run RBI and everyone's happy.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 08:59 PM) One wrong for each, or all for one? Cause Colon definitely needs to be released. His ERA is 4.23...no GM in baseball releases their #5 starter with this ERA.

Can we just change this thread to "Brian Anderson is a debacle"?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 09:57 PM) Colon must be released. Beckham is not ready for this. Our veterans are inconsistent. wrong, wrong, and wrong

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) Were we this bad in 2007? I say impossible. Yes we were worse. Remember Andy Gonzalez playing 3rd base? Our bullpen was also pathetic besides for Jenks. I will say this has the chance to go down as one of the worst home stands in recent memory.

Of course...great rip by Beckham. Brian Anderson, you are a terrible freaking player. Thank you for the King Felix memory and the game winning catch last year, but get out of this organization.

This is classic right here. Keep swinging at balls. Slayer has no chance against Perez.

Swinging for the fences. Just demote him tonight.

About to be 2 for 19 with bases loaded. Nix needs to bat for Getz.

5-4-3 triple play?

Wedge is managing like he's scared of Thome and AJP on the bench.

Take 2

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 09:31 PM) Damn it, 30 feet short. Stop

Wow, the National League is just awful. The Sox could probably go .500 in the NL!!

I look forward to threads on every player that's traded the rest of this year.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 08:20 PM) Anyone else feel a walk off grand slam by Beckham in the bottom of the 9th? What team is Tim Beckham playing in the minors today?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) haha, this is what the game thread has become, eh? yep...know I have to make sure I dont make any grammer or spelling mistake

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 08:17 PM) That's why I hope if Jordan Danks is in the plan for Opening day next year, they get him up in August or so. More I think of it, the more I agree.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 08:16 PM) Terrible arguement there You're either wanting him fired for the production of the players, or you're not You don't get to shift to another arguement of "Well, he should be gone if we're paying him to do nothing" The only time a fan should want someone fired is if they're hurting the production of the ballclub, not because they're cashing checks for doing nothing Nice spelling

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 09:15 PM) Why did I get my hopes up with a White Sox offensive player coming in and producing right away? You really have to wonder about our strength and conditioning program in the minors. All of our guys come up looking like midgets. I know we don't preach PEDs like other organizations might be, but it's still pretty glaring.
