I would like to add I finally broke out of my golf slump today, so Adam Dunn is due!

I'd walk Peavy here

A nasty factor of 74 on that curveball

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) Ozzie puts the pieces in the worst order and assembles them in absolutely the worst way time and time again. The second he pencils in 1.Pierre LF, he fails at his job.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 03:07 PM) How ANYBODY can defend KW at this point is beyond me. Its Ozzie, he's a f***ing idiot. I get resting Konerko and switching in Dunn, but the rest of the lineup? f***.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) Wow I didnt see the hate for Dazed and Confused. Its not just about smoking pot, its about hilarious lines like "That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age. " 50's greaser dominant male monkey motherf***er

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) It's a size difference, really, dude's clearly in good shape. I like how Michael stands out, and everyone makes fun of him for being nice and not being a complete idiot. These meatheads are hilariously dumb. He is an annoying f***ing nerd though.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 03:01 PM) Only 300+ PAs or so until Juan is gone. That really depresses me. He will not be benched under any circumstance. QFT

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 09:58 AM) You exactly nailed my view on movies. Sometimes, I dont want to have to "think" about a movie, or be wowed by it's incredible depth of and character development. Sometimes, I want to see s*** blow up and have a good time. Agreed, plus the explosions probably DID make him crap his pants for real.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 05:59 AM) Kenny on Rivals can be funny but he can also be damn delusional. It's probably been 6 or 7 years since Tyrie played football in college and it looked like the reason he won was Wes pushing Davis into Tyrie. Oh, and Go CT I cannot find any listing of Tyrie playing at Nebraska. And how is Davis that f***ing weak?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 09:13 AM) Well we have some good talent down there. It's just always the question of are they ready. Morin, Lalonde and Beach should be getting close. I thought Morin was ready this year.

The Fuse is LIT!!!!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) It only took the Cubs 9 starts to realize that. He gone! Thank God because soft tossing lefties like him kill us sometimes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 04:48 PM) Trust me, I think you and I care more about the Cubs/Sox games than anyone else on here. Hahaha. I did go to all three at home last week, and it wore me the f*** out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 04:41 PM) Would a sweep by the Cubs this weekend put the wheels in motion for some changes? As much as I loved Ozzie's benching of Rios last night, his comments about how he was happy the game ended were kind of confusing. He sounded more like me than as a baseball manager. He clearly didn't read the hyperbole thread. I wouldnt want that to happen (sweep by Cubs). But Ill take the GM finally stepping up and saying the manager's time has run out and has lost the team and its time for new blood. We are under achieving almost every season, its time to see if someone can right the ship.

God dammit, I wish they would just fire Ozzie already. Underachieving team-Check PLayers Loafing-Check Dumb comments in public and on the internet-check Reluctance to accept top prospect into lineup-Check Children who bash GM in the media-check What else needs to happen?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) I have a tangential question: HOw much does it cost you monthly to maintain a pool? When my wife and I move to FL in a year or 2, I have declared a pool in our backyard is a must. It depends on the pool. They can be a money pit or can be easy to maintain. I worked at a pool for many years and it was a terrible money pit, our pumps and filters continually went out as did our chlorinator. For a smaller family style pool its much easier to use tablets for chlorine or bromine (hot tubs) and invest in a smaller cleaner that can automatically clean the bottom if you can.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) And I don't think he has the spine to do it because that is who he learned his style from. He also has a remarkable amount of dirt on Joe.

The only appropriate author would be Joe Cowley

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 12:56 PM) what a weird season. +1. Lets just please beat the Cubs this weekend.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 12:38 PM) By nothing changes I mean J4L's pessimism, Felix busting out stats, Steve arguing with Felix, etc. Something did change, Steve busted out a bar graph

WOw at those numbers above. How the f*** can you not inject your BEST minor league player who also happens to be one of the best hitters if not the best in his league into your offense which is muddling around at league avg. It makes ZERO f***ING SENSE. I know KW wants him up, so when is it the time when he overrules Ozzie>?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 10:32 AM) You mean the guy who frequently starts rounding the base on a routine grounder so he has an easier jog back to the dugout? Very few players bust it down the line for the Sox. I know DA commonly refers to an article a few years ago where a scout said Sox were hardest team to get home to first times due to their lack of hustle. We all love Konerko, but let's not pretend like he doesn't do his fair share of loafing to first on routine pop ups. Maybe the one thing I admire about Jeter, besides getting to sleep with Minka Kelly, is that no one in baseball hustles more than he does. Sorry, jogging back to the dugout or rounding the base after you have been tagged out on a routine grounder isnt exactly loafing, jogging towards a live ball in the outfield of the infield is. You will never see AJ dog it on a ball in play defensively, ever. He also was the main character in probably the best White Sox Hustle Play of all time in ALCS game 2.

AJ was PISSED that we lost the game on a hustle play, and so was I. Clearly there are some issues in the clubhouse that need to be resolved. It could really go two ways, this could be handled in Kangaroo court and help the guys stay focused or they could argue and fight and this team will continue to underachieve.
