sin city sox fan

Time to score some runs now if we are going to threaten a comeback. Can't go into the 9th down 7 runs and expect miracles.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 04:46 PM) No, you don't understand. Both Dave Dombrowski and Tony La Russa were fired by Hawk. That should be all you need to know. And not firing Robin Ventura is just as big of a mistake.

Not a bad first batter for Fulmer

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 04:41 PM) Ah, to be a young Sox fan again. Seriously, know your history. That was a disaster. And what we have now is a disaster as well. The team created a mirage for us at the beginning of the year, but this last week is beer league baseball.

I'd rather have Hawk back as GM instead of RH or KW.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 04:20 PM) KW wanted Avi. I'm not saying KW would do any better than RH. It's time to look outside of the organization for someone that can get the job done.

If you let Hahn do the selling with this team, you'll end up with a lineup full of Avi's for years to come.

We've started a new streak! 1/3 scoreless innings in a row!

we found a hitter!!!!!!

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) I mean can RV try to help the hitters by calling hit and runs or something? Or a bunt to move a runner to third with one out.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:56 PM) So, has the front office said why it pushed back Sale's start? Seriously confused. It's a wasted Sale start when we aren't going to score any runs. You can't win any games getting shutout. Until this team decides to stop putting up goose eggs, he might as well take an extended break.

You guys can call me a troll all you want......but if the 9th inning was played my way (and the way I believe any major league manager with smarts would have played it), we would have broken the scoring drought and had a tied ball game. Instead, the "common sense" way you argue for allowed the team to continue its streak of futility and post another loss. Sure, I'm a troll for arguing for the option which would have provided this team with an opportunity to win.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:58 PM) Ya bunt Abreu. Perfect f***ing sense. Has he ever bunted? You don't bunt Abreu EVER. You don't bunt your number 3 hitter EVER. 29 of 30 managers in the league would have called for a bunt there. Unfortunately, we have the one who doesn't.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:33 PM) You call 2-4 with 2 doubles a black hole? Give me that black hole any day of the week. He couldn't lay down a bunt in the 9th inning though in a situation that would have led to a tied game. Either he is incompetent or Robin was just an idiot. Regardless, something gotta change.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) I highly doubt Abreu knows how to execute a bunt If true, thats another reason Robin should be fired. And Steverson should go with him.

I'm still pissed that Robin didn't have Abreu bunt. It's ridiculous this game isn't tied now

thank go Frazier didn't swing at the pitch out

Saladino was running on the 0-1 pitch? I hope that was a double steal

If Abreu had bunted, we'd have a tie game now.

I don't get why Abreu wasn't bunting there?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) Navarro should not be hitting in the 8th. I'm sure he will though and I hope to be proven wrong with a hit by him. I'd settle for a hit by pitch. Or catcher interference

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) I guarantee you that if we hit 100 straight scoreless innings, Ventura will be fired. And I have my new Spring Training hat that I will eat. Do you want ketchup on that hat? Or tabasco?

I'm so glad I decided not to make the trip from Vegas to Anaheim this weekend. Watching the Bulls win summer league games is much more entertaining than watching this dumpster fire.

if this scoreless streak extends to 100 or 150 innings without a run, will we finally see Ventura given the axe? How long must the streak of futility continue before we see change?

Love these 2 out rallys!
