QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:05 PM) Seriously, though. Viciedo swinging 3-0? How bout take one pitch when you have one hit total since the first inning?? Then at 3-1 maybe he can try to get hold of one. Everybody is failing offensively this year, including Mr. Ventura. I've had enough. Got to go to a function. Love ya White Sox. This team is continually making fundamental mistakes. I don't think this team is capable of winning a World Series, but I think with capable leadership we could be a .500 ballclub. Robin Ventura and the rest of the staff (excluding Don Cooper) have made their share of fundamental mistakes and have not prevented the players from doing their share. With proper coaching, we should be buyers instead of sellers in the coming week and I hope Reinsdorf, Hahn, and company see right and bring in a new coaching staff after this season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 07:41 PM) We call this Venturaball This is why Robin and the entire coaching staff (except Cooper) needs to go

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 06:12 PM) This game is kind of bumming me out. Some good players that will be gone soon because the team underperformed. I actually liked this team on paper. Don't be so sure. I'm still hoping Hahn decides to be a buyer and make a run for the playoffs. I think it can be done, but I'm tired of him wasting time. We need to make some nice additions now!!!!

I can't believe Phegley was left down in the minors as long as he was.....if he had been on the major league roster all season, I bet we'd be at least 2-3 games closer to the playoffs than we currently are.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 04:49 PM) But clearly if Hahn does very little and the Crain and doesnt come back to pitch before the deadline people round here will be mightily PO'ed. He's probably still deciding whether to be a buyer or a seller. Personally, I think we should be buyers.....but you can't wait forever to make a decision or you can't win either way.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 04:40 PM) Rios 3-3 trade him by the 8th inning. If we trade Rios, we have no chance to win the division.

Chris will get World Series MVP this season.....that will more than make up for the snub.

He helped us win home field advantage....that is worth a lot more than any All Star Game MVP. Now come on Hahn.....go out there and trade for some bats. Lets go out and make this victory mean something in the second half of the season!

Can someone tell me why we traded for this Casper guy? We need bats and he ain't got one.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 10:53 AM) FWIW, it would have been better if everyone would've just played along with the OP. Something like: Sure we have a chance! Let's trade for Harper, Trout and Puig! We'll be right back in this thing! If any of those three are on the market, lets go get em. Those are the type of impactful players that can help us win this division!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 06:13 PM) Are you being serious? Either way, it's really hard to get 4 or 5 hitters in an off season alone. With our farm system, won't happen. We could have had Manny for cheap...unfortunately, we let Texas beat us to the punch.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) Until you look at their Bataan Death March schedule the next 30-45 games. The only team we will be favored to beat might be the Minnesota Twins (at home). If we add 4 or 5 more quality bats to our lineup, we can be favored in many of these games. This week's series shows we already have Detroit's number and that's the most important challenge to conquer. There's no reason we can't win this division if Hahn goes out and picks up 4 or 5 guys who can hit .300 and drive in 50+ runs after the break.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 06:20 PM) Hi Hawk/Rongey! We are only 13 games behind Detroit and have won 67% of our games against them with the current roster. Get aggressive, add 4 or 5 new bats to the lineup, and 14 out of the next 16 is possbile. That would leave us only 1 game to make up elsewhere and there's plenty of time to do it. Buy! Buy! Buy! No white flag trades in 2013!!!

2 out of 3 against Detroit......lets make trades for a few big contributers and we can win 14 of the final 16 against them. The division can be ours, but we need to be more than buyers....we need to be smart buyers. Go get'em Hahn!

Anyone know if this will be available on DVD to purchase?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) I'd love to see some stat head find out how many K's Dunn has had through his last 35 games or so and compare it to any other 35 game stretch. He's making so much more contact now than I've ever seen him make before in a Sox uniform. He's going to have to keep it up if we're to make a run at the division tittle. Signing Micker the other days was a start, but we still need other key components to come back and make the playoffs

If we win today, I think we have to become buyers

Maybe its the 117 degree heat in Las Vegas making me crazy, but what if we decided to be buyers instead of sellers? We are only 10.5 games out of first place and no one seems prepared to run away with this division. Lets go out and trade for a 1B, 3B, C, OF, DH, and a couple of pitchers. If we have the opportunity, lets upgrade at other positions as well. We can turn this thing around with the pickup of 8 or 10 new players who contribute strongly. Wouldn't it be a hoot if we won the division after this start??

Flowers is a worthless POS

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 23, 2013 -> 09:03 PM) So because there hasnt been drastic action taken yet in the middle of the season means that the people who are getting paid to run this baseball team are just puppets to the Sith Lord Darth Reinsdorf? What I'm pissed about is that nothing more was done in the offseason. If us living room GM's could have saw this coming in January (and we did), why couldn't those getting paid to do the job see the future? A decision to rebuild or to go for it should have been done months ago. Instead, we kept the team largely intact,decid signed a couple of marginal players in free agency, and decided the team was set for 2013. I was never the biggest Kenny Williams fan (I think he gave up too much too often), but if this is what we can expect from Hahn moving forward, it will be a long time til we have a team worth watching again.

I could understand this email if it was asking me to vote for Rios ......but seriously "#VoteFlow" and "#VoteDunn"???? You've got to be kidding me! http://view.ed4.net/v/2LDHK5/CXQSAF/IFU899...01779-566970383

We've scored 7 runs in the past 3 innings....might be coming out of our hitting slump

If Harry Carey was still alive and announcing for us, can you imagine how drunk he'd be now?

QUOTE (mike89128 @ Jun 5, 2013 -> 07:20 PM) So much for gtaway day.They'll be lucky to get home by 6AM. I hear there's a threat of rain tomorrow. They should call the game now

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2013 -> 07:18 PM) I'm rooting for 2. Gotta get this game over before the Blackhawks start tomorrow
