QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) Santos cannot be called on to save every damn game, a fact the manager simply cannot comprehend Maybe if every game is not a high leverage situation.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 08:13 PM) Good source on here said Rios is the guy they want leading off next year. Well he better work on that whole see more than a single pitch in an AB.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 08:09 PM) None...if we wouldn't trade him last year for Dunn, we're not going to trade him now when KW had him pencilled into the 2012 outfield They need to fire Guillen then. Because he needs am slappy guy up top.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 08:06 PM) Yes So what is the chance that Viciedo gets flipped for a leadoff hitter like Reyes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 07:51 PM) Or move up in the box and take away the change-up? My sig from Blackburn says it all. These guys, outside of Kong and maybe AJ, think that hitting is about a glorified home run competition. I remember a few years back listening to the twins radio broadcast and they were talking about how our pre game hitting is just a glorified home run comp. Our guys just go for homers instead of getting there work in. They said we were the only team they saw all year doing this.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 07:47 PM) 2 for 29...he's barely even trying out there. He absolutely needs to lose his starting spot. I honestly can't recall the last Sox player to ever display such awful focus and effort as Rios does. He must have a date after the game the way he's trying to get this game over with quickly. This first pitch hunting s*** that he does should plant his ass on the bench.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) How can CQ swing at that?? Low and away crap is always the kryptonite of this tream. Teams know this and we refuse to adjust.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) I think it's just a SoxTalk 'urban legend' that sounds so plausible it has become fact. Urban legend printed by the suntimes. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/wh...m-williams.html

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 07:36 PM) Did he really say that? Yup and also that Pierre is the team leader.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) If we lose tonight at home against KC on the 4th, heads should finally roll. They won't. White sox baseball is always about one simple fact that tomorrow is always there. They don't have any sense of urgency. Ozzie has stated that Pierre could go 0-100 and he would play everyday. So that should tell you everything.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) Francis is 3-9. He's absolutely gotten rocked his last 3 starts. His ERA is near 6. He's topping out at 85-86-87 MPH. If we can't hit him, who exactly CAN we hit? At least Lopez had deception on his side. How many times has a pitcher on a large series of losses, or a mile high ERA shut this team down. He'll one year a guy from the orioles got released shortly after dominating us.

Well hoping your pitching is only going to give up 1 or 2 runs may work against the NL. It's not however going to work in the AL. So hopefully we can get Kenny and Ozzie to suspend their stupid game of who has a bigger one, because this offense is a joke. We need to get better quickly. We are in the midst of our division. Thankfully we have a guy killing the ball that we can't call up for whatever reason.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 04:26 PM) Pathetic offensive performance today. I can't believe we benched our best player twice in last four games just to get Dunn at bats. Dunn is killing us this season! Wait till he does it against divisional opponents.

Caller "I don't understand why the couldnt hit Lopez, he doesn't throw hard and people makes lots of contact." Rongey "well so does Buehrle" Me : turns radio knob to different station.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) Why do you PR Lillibridge? Let him bat versus Marshall and pinch run Omar. Because our manager doesnt want to disrespect a vet by making him a pinch runner.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 03:09 PM) Shut out by Rodrigo Lopez. AWESOME! "Well we expected him to throw it right down the middle just like our batting practice pitcher does for us when we play home run derby before the game. Now it moved, and sometimes went slower. We were not prepared at all for that. Now we had some video of him, however in the video he was a left handed specialist. We were quite shocked to see he threw right handed. Nothing you can do, just tip your cap. "

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) GF with a QS. We are one of the worst teams in the league with winning percentage when we get a QS.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) Just tell Kenny he's batting eighth or ninth if he has to play at all. Well the guy that you love as our manager is doing this on purpose to make a point. His ego is above our team. There is no manager that bats this man in his current batting 3rd in their lineup.

I cant wait to listen to Rongey on the postgame put a ribbon and bow on this turd of an offense.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) Maybe not recently, but this guy did put up two complete seasons of 14-9 and 15-9 in the AL East with a sub 4.00 era a few years ago. Well the shell of a pitcher you see on the mound today is not that guy.

If one of these goofs tips their caps to this stroke on the mound after the game, then you know that they dont have a pulse. This type of crappy pitching dominating you is a joke. You should be upset against this. I am afraid to see what the twins do to our weak willed team this week.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) I'm not sure if it was mentioned or not but I remember this Lopez guy dominating us when he was with the Orioles. Perhaps I'm not remembering it correctly but it seems we can never hit any guy who has any type of hiccup in his motion....so I am not sure what Hawk is talking about saying he expected us to get to him today- I certainly didn't... He is one of a long line of sub 90 RHPs who have dominated us with crap. Keep it low and away and throw the ball in the dirt every so often. Its the Twins way of pitching against us. We are an aggressive team with little to no plan at the plate. Hence why the twins feast on us with their pitching attack. Hence my sig.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) Another 123 inning. Unless greg walker is hit by a truck in the next few days, there is no way this team makes the playoffs. This is just infuriating. He has a contract for life. Meanwhile we sit with Adam Dunn in the 3rd hole because our Manager+Oney+Cowley want to make some sort of point.

Dear Sox hitters. Dipping your back shoulder to elevate into the wind is not a good idea. Line drives are your only hope.
