gotta say...a very disappointing season in my eyes. 95 wins could have been very attainable IMO...just too much inconsistency and losses to much lesser teams did us in.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) I can't believe AJ raised his avg to .270, what a come back indeed. Lexi up to .283 after his start is pretty amazing as well.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Sep 28, 2010 -> 11:22 PM) has the whole board boycotted?? or just not care?? pretty much...

on 4 different teams? Coincidence?...probably...but still.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 05:06 PM) As long as Kenny and the FO are the ones making the decisions on how they want the team built, I can tolerate Ozzie for another year. ^^^^This But then again Ozzie is stubborn enough to try and fit a square peg in a round hole...and then b**** about it. It's all warm and fuzzy now...but there will be conflict next year...book it.

I really hate all things Minnesota...and not really sure which I hate more...the Twins or the Vikings...or all the Twins Ass-Lickers like Hawk.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 04:37 PM) Aside from CF (and the failure of Anderson) can you name a single position that has remained a gaping hole over a period of multiple years that hasn't been solved, even temporarily? Every position is filled at least temporarily...that might be the problem in itself.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) Is this the day when Manny finally gives up on the season? Why not...everybody else on this team has. Really shameful having ZERO pride right now. It they don't wanna play...f*** 'em and play the youngsters.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Sep 21, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) It has nothing to do with babysitting the young men. Yes, we know they are adults. The issue is that LaRussa is a careless individual. If he isn't sober now, then based on his DUI there's no telling what he is capable of. Why the hell wouldn't he do it again? He obviously has no problem getting overserved and driving. He can't control his own life and you want him to manage young, impressionable men? I don't want to talk about this but I guess we HAVE to because the fact that he's like 70 years old isn't enough evidence to stop this discussion. LaRussa for manager....really???? Good Lord, how is that man the future of the WhiteSox? Please explain. Then by all means stop. Ya know what...I had a DUI back in my day...and I'm a pretty responsible, productive member of society who's a single dad mind you also and have raised 3 awesome kids. Sure glad I didn't have Judgy-judgersons like you tellin' me what an awful individual I am and what I'm "capable of". Get off you high horse. Back to the topic...say Ozzie did bolt for the fish...who would you like to see brought in?

That really could have been disasterous...Colvin is a fortunate young man that it didn't end up much worse than it did. I really does need to be addressed.

I say they have that REEEEEEALY hot T-shirt launcher chick somebody has in their sig do it topless for the entire game!!!! Her

Thanks for the Temperance Lecture guys...

One of Danks or Gavin are gonna be packaged this off season I think... DH...I'd really hate spending that kind of money for somebody like Dunn. It's gonna be a wild off season I think...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 11:08 PM) I wonder where he'll wind up next year. Where is Manny's next stop? I remember hearing rumblings about Manny talking to Thome (or visa versa) about signing one year deals with the Tribe their last season and riding off into the sunset. Stranger things have happened. That being said...just standing there in two consecutive at bats with men on base like that and just watching 2 strikes with the bat on your shoulder is unexceptable...

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 03:20 AM) Uh, wrong. Perhaps you haven't noticed that until earlier this year our offense hasn't been the least bit smart or even fundamental since mid 2006. This is not even close to being true with the pitching. thank you.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) Chris Sale just laughed in your face. I'll take that...touche. He's seemed to be a rarity though...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 07:23 PM) Maybe Ozzie should ask Jim Tracy how he keeps his guys so fresh in September. Massengill...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) Having a cheap star is worth getting talent over and above his ability. a. I look forward to Gordo becoming a star (which he's still far from it) b. ability (ceiling) the antithesis of all our prospects

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 05:21 PM) LOL, the Sox bats have a better season than I think any of us expected, everyone shuts up about Walker for about 3 months, and now that the season's over and no one cares any more we can go back to normal Walkripping. Yes...the world is right once again!

The thing that makes me lean towards taking Tony over Ozzie...it'd get Walker's ass outta here (which should merit a Grant Park parade IMO).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 05:00 PM) Unless you are getting a big time middle of the order bat, there is no way Gordo needs to go anywhere. I guess that's the point to the thread...if it takes Gordo to get that bat...do you do it?!? I just have my reservations about him...

I guess what I'm saying is maybe...just maybe the players on this roster would respond to somebody of LaRussa's stature differently. Who knows...I could be a worse response. Plus...you'd have to factor in how Paulie'd feel about it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 02:27 PM) Until one of our players winds up dead via DUI. C'mon Balta....

Don't get me wrong...I love Ozzie...but I'd take Tony any day of the week...and twice on Sundays. Anybody think there could be any merit to this fluff?

I know there was probably 95% (if not more) of the people on this board who would NO WAY in hell trade Beckham. "He's the face of the franchise for the next 10 years, #3 hitter, etc..." What is your thought now? To me...if the right player is involved and it takes Beckham to get him I really don't think I have a problem with it. Again..."the right player...whoever that may be". I know he's been hurt lately and all...but I'm just not sure he's really going to be all that much better. Obviously he has to be better than this season...but I think the question now might be popping into people's minds a little more. Are people still in the "no way in hell" camp...
