This was not a TEAM loss. The team actually played well - battled back and put us in the position to win. The loss is on two people -- Jenks and Santos. That's it.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:33 PM) I would circle this date as the turning point of the fall. I didn't trust this team when they went 26-5, why should I start now. Dude, you are f***ing hilarious.

I side with Milkman -- Bobby needs to shave off that nasty bush on his chin. f***ing gross.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:28 PM) Then you know what? This team wasn't going to contend for the AL Central regardless of what happened. This was a bad loss, but it does nothing to drastically alter what happens the rest of the season. If it does, then this team is a bunch of mental pansies. You know someone is overreacting when fathom is basically like, "STFU".

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:24 PM) We got beat 3 games in a row to a division rival. This team isn't playoff ready, no fight and they rolled over like dogs. They're toast. We are still in 1st place! I hope this is a joke post.

Please don't tell me that the board is going to go back to how it was a month ago.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:21 PM) That's 3 loses in a row. That's called a losing streak. Get use to it folks, the real Chicago White Sox are back. They'll be 6 games out in 2 weeks. Season. Over. HAHAH

Worst loss of the season?

f***

It would be nice if Ozzie was more proactive in situations like this.

This is so annoying.

So tired of this highwire s*** with Jenks.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:39 PM) What the f*** does Juan Pierre do for this team other than play a decent LF? He is so awful Seriously? Just cause the guy is struggling with the bat, doesn't mean he is all bad. He has been excellent in LF this year -- even accounting for his weak arm. Million times better than Pods or Q out there.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) But what's on WGN this fall?? Alexei needs to hit more home runs if he wants that Gold Glove. Pretty much.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) I believe so...in 2008 during the last week of the season, she gave birth to their child and they kept saying her name. I have almost never known a girl/woman with a name of that ilk to be attractive. Actually, I knew a girl named Agnes who was gorgeous, but I think that is the exception.

Holy f***, Alexei's woman is named Mildred? Haha...that does not bode well for her looks.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:27 PM) Hell didn't Jeter date Jessica Alba?? To me she is one of the hottest women around... ANNNNDDD...herpes. /ends discussion

Gold glover! Let's get Alexei a hot woman and maybe that will improve his national rep.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) Not out of this world? I'd like to know who you consider out of this world then? Dude, I conceded that she is good looking. She is far from the be all end all. I know/have known girls that I consider to be more attractive than her -- they just don't get her pub because they aren't on a TV show.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:15 PM) Derek Jeter is engaged to Minka Kelly. That's the best catch any SS will ever make, so he deserves the GG. She is a good looking girl, but not out of this world. Plus, she now has herpes via Mr. Jeter.

Back to a possible GG for Alexei -- it would be great to compile a list of writers who vote for the award and then send out a highlight reel of Alexei's D along with various defensive metrics, like UZR, to back it up. Giving out awards based on reputation is stupid when evidence of a guy's skill is right in front of you.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) Q out? He was wincing after the slide into 3rd on that steal.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) Jeter will get it because the award sucks. But he should definitely get it. Best UZR among all MLB shortstops. Yea, I know that is probably how it will go -- even though Jeter doesn't deserve it.

Anybody think Alexei might have a shot at a GG?

Gordon, how I've missed you.
