Now maybe he wont from here on out, and maybe he won't next year, but so far with the White Sox HE HAS f***ING SUCKED ON OFFENSE, and it is not debatable. And he might spell the long term end to your guy. ANGRY FIST TO THE GODS

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) As long as this attitude permeates the fan base, we will never win another world series. You can only hear "you suck" so many times before you buy into it and thats all this team heard all season long. With the attitude of our fan base, I'm amazed this team is over .500 as is.....they overperformed when you face the facts. However, if they were supported day in and day out, they would likely be 20-25 games over .500 at this time (and about ready to clinch a playoff spot) Maybe we should let the nice man and his goat see the baseball game as well.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:02 PM) I can't speak for you personally (as I don't analyze every post on this board) but I've seen an incredible amount of negativity on this site all season long (although its peaked recently). I really think this team has the talent to dominate baseball.....but the negativity of this fan base has destroyed the attitude of the team. This team (and almost every team in all sports) needs positive energy to reach its potential and Sox fans as a whole have provided very little of it this season. Sure look what negativity did in Ghostbusters II. Vigo almost took over the earth. Maybe we can get some positive slime.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 08:55 PM) I don't know how you guys expect this team to play any better.....when they come on this board every day and read comment after comment about how much they suck......how do you expect them to perform? It would be nice once to see White Sox fans actually support the team and give them a boost instead of tearing them apart and saying they have no chance to win. Are you for f***ing real. Maybe we should get our blue "believe" wristbands and be super happy and not pay attention to the beat down on the field. Maybe that will make us better fans. GMAFB.

We are not winning this thing Hawk. We are currently, pissing down our pant leg waiting for the other team to hand over the game.

Typical August sox offensive threat. Get men on, pucker up, and swing for the fences. The only way guys can score is if the ball flies over the fence. Thank god in 05 we had such a lead.

Pathetic execution with men on by our vets. Big swings, people trying to be a hero. Instead of playing within themselves and being selfless.

Ozzie has harnessed the power of the dome goblins for this game.

Anytime our offense wants to show up tonight. That would be great. I forget. Its august, and we suffer from spincteritis.

I want Becks to get back to hitting line drives and going gap to gap. Becks has been a bit pull happy lately.

Nix is a perfect complement to your bench. He can hit lefties pretty well and play good D. If he is overplayed however he gets exposed.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 02:34 PM) Billy Wagner's agent's name is Bean Stringfellow. Did he pilot Airwolf?

Right now Dye is hitting like Carl did in 05. It took them until what, the middle of September to make that move. Until our backs were up against the wall did Ozzie make that change. Our backs are beyond up against the wall. Dye needs to be moved out. He is providing nothing with the stick, and nothing in the field. Maybe he is tired, maybe he is hurt. I don't know. But its time to make a change.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 11:29 PM) Podsednik Beckham Quentin Thome Konerko Pierzynski Ramirez Dye Nix Is it really all that difficult? Take Dye out and put in Rios and it works.

Tigers up 7-0 on a pitcher who pretty much looks like Johan against us.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 09:48 PM) If it wasn't, I'd have to say that the way he's gone into the tank, mentally, since Rios got here . . . well, that sure hasn't been impressive. 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.

Dye is now just flailing away and providing nothing. Just put Rios in there and at least have some good D out in the outfield.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 09:40 PM) Dye is down to .267. We has around .305 not too long ago. Any casual fan could tell you he's absolutely brutal right now but Ozzie still thinks he should bat 3rd. Nothing like having one of your coldest hitters hit in one of the most important positions in the lineup.

Dye gets to lead of our 9th inning charge against Papleboner. Maybe around the middle of September Ozzie will figure out that its time to move Dye down in the order.

Hopefully Kotsay hits for Nix who cant hit. Then put LIllicurse out there for the defense.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 09:18 PM) agreed, but at this point i wonder what any change is really going to bring. If Peavy got to 80 pitches tonight and was hitting 94 on the gun then he can come up and replace the Count. The Count gets to 80 pitches and a snowman has crossed the plate.

Things that need to happen after this game. Contreras is no longer in the rotation. Rios needs to play everyday. Dye needs to be taken out of the 3 hole.

I wonder if Alex Rios understands that usually you have to pay 10 bucks to go and see the circus he gets paid to see on a daily basis from the bench. Our defense and our pitching crapped us in tonight.

Thank you bullpen for finish off what the defense and Jose attempted to earlier in the game. f***ing pathetic.

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 09:05 PM) Don't look now, if Minnesota wins tonight they're only one game behind us. What a joke. This division is comical. If we played semi decent against crappy teams we would be in first place. Hopefully we sack up and get over the magical dome goblins or we could be in third place after minny.
