Not sure why this is surprising right now. We had only 4 players in the lineup tonight who are better than mediocre everyday players. What's our record since the AJ/Ozzie/Buehrle crap?

This team deserves everything that's happening with these horrible personnel decisions. 8 minor leaguers on a 100 million dollar payroll team is pathetic. Masset bringing it with that 92 mph heater.

QUOTE(rafacosta @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 02:02 AM) I don't see why Ozzie should be blamed so far in this game... Continuing to put one of the weakest hitters in Sox history at the leadoff position is not a good move. However, my bigger issue with Ozzie right now is just how lethargic this team is. It really seems like they accept losing way too much. And don't get me started on putting Andy Gonzalez into RF. KW must be a freaking moron for calling him up.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 02:01 AM) He was saying that throughout the end of April and early May. I just wonder if he's given up that the Sox offense isn't such a lock to turn it around. Well, it's not for lack of trying. He's probably said that line about 10 times tonight.

This game's over...I can't think of the last time this team made any sort of comeback to win a game. Hey Ozzie....keep up the good work!

We have the warning track power swing going lately. That was still impressive by Fields.

We started rebuilding over last offseason....it was obvious.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 01:53 AM) I'm struggling to find something about this team to be positive or hopeful about... My #1 goal is for Fields to start getting some good contact. I also would like to see Anderson called up sooner than later. It's worthless to keep putting Owens out there.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 01:52 AM) But the bigger picture is that he simply will not be an impact player at the major league level -- he K's like crazy and can't hit a decent fastball. And he's the Sox top prospect...what was it you said about someone getting fired? Give Fields time. More than ever, I've seen prospects come up around the league and look awful for a month or so. Then, all of a sudden, it starts to click. Crede's going to be out for the year, so you might as well sit back and hope for the best with him and not criticize him on a play that wasn't terrible.

QUOTE(rafacosta @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 01:49 AM) Josh Fields...you don't hit and now you don't play defense... That wasn't his fault. His fielding has been fine. Meanwhile, Danks continues to throw high pitch after high pitch. Holy s***! How is Ozzie not on the hot seat with his team playing so pathetic and without hustle/fundamentals?

Nice bunt...I've never seen a team lose in every single possible aspect like we do.

Haha....this team is so f***ing bad. If the Sox get swept this weekend, is there any chance that someone gets fired?

PK having a ton of trouble this year with the 3-2 offspeed pitch. He's 1-19 this year now with a full count. That's freaking pathetic.

This team has to stop making losing look so easy. It's a historic day....it's the first time that Hawk used this line: "this is the most talented offensive team I've ever seen struggle for this long". Stop swinging at the first pitch Thome.

Danks about to walk Scott before Lee. They really need to work on his mechanics to keep him from flying open and then falling off the mound. Ha, even when we get a good throw, we still can't get the guy out. AJ must really suck at those plays. He needs to stay closer to the plate.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 01:24 AM) Why? He couldn't have made the NFL. He probably couldn't have made the AFL or CFL. He made it to the major leagues in baseball. He may not be any good, but he made it. I know, it was just a joke. It's funny to see how good Pence is though compared to our prospects. Last year, Fields was rated in the same range as him.

Mackowiak continues to have good at-bats. Owens continues to show he should have stuck with football. We've always talked over the last few years about just how bad our prospects play when they get called up. The sad thing is that it's been 5 times worse this year than in previous years. Hell, at least Borchard would hit an occasional homer.

Good effort by Terrero....Dye would have had no chance at that. I wonder if Danks is going through a dead arm period...his fastball is down right now.

It shocks me that they're not telling Danks to watch his follow-thru.

That Carlos Lee sucks. All he does is swing for the fences.

QUOTE(PoopsThompson @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 01:02 AM) While I agree that he just isn't cutting it, what other options does this team truly have? Mackowiak should be leading off. He's giving this team some good at-bats. Put Terrero in CF when Dye is healthy.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 12:44 AM) The way the lineup has handled Sampson thus far, even with their offensive troubles, if less than five runs are across the board I'll be shocked. Nearly every out has been crushed. You're giving our offense way too much credit to actually stay consistent during a game. We still have a couple of double plays in crucial situations to hit into. Why in the world do we keep having Owens leadoff? Ozzie and KW have to be the only two people in baseball who think he should start in the majors.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 12:52 AM) What is the White Sox bullpen doing in Atlanta? Lance Cormier is the worst pitcher I've seen in the majors this year.

Another start where Danks has little command. Soriano has 3 homers thru 4 innings. It must be nice to have the money to go out and get the top free agents.

How impressive would it be if Owens played 162 games and didn't draw a single walk?
