QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 08:19 PM) Best way to put it is we're just playing like a very bad baseball team right now. If you start thinking of players who have played well for Sox, really I'd only say Quentin, Danks and Santos (and Konerko as of 48 hours ago). You're not going to win when you have so many players underachieving. which has been the MO the past 3 or so years.... What's the reason?

3rd week of season people...

I'd still switch up the lineup tho...get Beckham out of the 2-hole. Pierre Lexi CQ Walnuts Dunn Rios AJ Beckham Teahen/Morel/Omar whatev...

The blown saves really demoralized this team...

I understand the angst over Ozzie...he was bunting in the 2 or 3rd inning the first week of the season...but bottom line...this offense has not showed up at all. 4 goddamn hit?!? I said this 2 years ago...this organization needs to hire a sports psychologist IMO. Bunch of headcases...

good lord...

Those are CLASSIC!!!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 07:01 PM) lol. you apparently don't remember how much DA worshiped Uribe and I think Contreras. yeah...I missed that memo. I'm not baggin' on Gordo...he is what he is. Tell ya what though...I'd lay a Grande down that says he won't be an All-Star in the next 5 years.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) I gave you a timeline. If he went 4-4 today all the naysayers would want to suck him off. I just wonder how many people on this board actually played baseball, because if you did, even at low levels, you would understand the ups and downs of a baseball season and not get so carried away with a tough game or a tough week. The disgust getting swept by the Angels is laughable. They had 2 of the hottest pitchers in baseball throwing. The last time the Angels swept the Sox in Chicago was 2005. People were contemplating slitting their wrists then as well, then 2 months later, everyone is the greatest ever. Well...I played all through college...and in leagues (baseball) until I was 45 in IL and AZ. I understand the ebbs and flows of the season. If you read back to some of my earlier posts in the offseason...I was one that said didn't expect too much out of Gordo. Love his drive. But I just don't see...or anointing him as a future star. I hope I'm wrong. He'll have his hot streaks...but I don't see him carrying his team during stretches (which is what a star does IMO). It has nothing to do with the last week or so. Let me ask you a question...so do consider Juan Uribe a star?

Ya know...I'm almost ready to take a month or so off during the BB playoffs. It's waaaaaaaaaaay too early to toss in the towel or anoint so-and-so sucks IMO. Hell...look how he started last year. I'm not trying to be Rah-Rah or anything...I'm as pissed off as anybody. But this team cannot fall too much below .500 and expect to contend.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) A bad week and this crap? Beckham will be a star. Just remember when he is, and it may even be this season, a bad week made you think he would be slightly above average. What's your timeline DA? I actually tend to agree with his train of thought.

cock tease...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) Wow, excellent bunt...thought for a second he'd beat it out. anybody with semi-decent speed beats that out...

guy's got a funky delivery...like he's tripping himself every pitch.

the proverbial "don't stop now boys" jinx by Hawk. I wish he'd really knock that s*** off...

Nice stat line tonight Bobby... B Jenks (L, 0-1) 0.1 4 4 4 1 1 0 26-14 8.31

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) We're not all-in. Nobody is all-in, especialy not this team. Still plenty of weaknesses. Maybe they should put an asterisk next to it and in small type put: (*except the bullpen)

QUOTE (Felix @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 07:43 PM) Personally, I'm blaming Adam Dunn for this. His cavalier attitude defensively has clearly impacted Alexei and Morel on the left side of the infield. Maybe if we had a true leader at DH, he'd be more concerned with pumping up his teammates to pick it up on the defensive end. I think this is pretty well documented in his team's struggles throughout his career. OK...fess up...he slept with your sister or girlfriend didn't he?!?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 07:51 PM) All-in is a joke. We're having a fairly cruddy homestand all of a sudden. I'm sure if this keeps up, Oz will be the first manager fired this year. Problem is, they'd just give it to somebody on the current staff for the rest of the year and that won't solve anything. Very disappointing beginning. If we lose tonight, we are 7-6. Considering the opposition, s***ty record for a team 'All-In.' I think I'd be less upset if we didn't have that bulls*** slogan. For the record I don't want Oz fired, but I won't be heartbroken when he gets the ax. He's rich enough and will land on his feet and be in baseball the rest of his life and make more money than most of us will ever dream of. Sad start to this season. if this was may or june I might be concerned...but we're two weeks into the season (and have played in some crappy weather). More disappointed in the 9th inning bullpen showing than anything else. It happens once or twice...but this many times this early is pretty week.

Thanks for making me laugh today dude...after a really s***ty day...I needed it!

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 07:41 PM) A 30-Day rain delay would be nice.

Omar needs to get a little more PT at 3rd...

agreed ginger...gonna go eat and get ready for the Hawks game. I really hate getting pissed on a friday evening.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 07:00 PM) If that went into the crowd, would Alexei have been awarded home? Lexi definitely would have been given home...
