QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 2, 2011 -> 08:08 AM) Like the 1992 election was over in 1991 when George 1 finished a crushing military victory over Iraq. Oh that's right. I remember when we finally defeated those guys that attacked us on our soil. Our country was so relieved to finally have defeated them.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ May 2, 2011 -> 02:26 AM) Really, your first thought after all those kids who've died, all the billions we've spent and all the division we've seen in our democracy is the f***ing presidential election? You need to take a break from politics man, you've been thoroughly poisoned. Who said that was my first thought? Learn how to read.

s***. Why even bother with a 2012 Presidential election after this news. The election is over.

For some reason I can't get that Black Gallagher Chappelle skit out of my head right now.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) 10th in the AL in batting average, 9th in runs scored, 12th in ERA and dead last in runs allowed. You can't blame Peavy's injury. His replacement has been nails. Get rid of them both. Time to clean house.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 1, 2011 -> 05:55 PM) True fans support their team to the largest extent possible whether their team is winning or losing. Those that don't can not be classified as anything other than fair weather fans. GMAFB. Get off your high horse. Just because a lot of us complain on a message board because our team is playing like horses*** doesn't mean we don't support our team. It's not like we all went out and bought season tickets for another team. We still follow the games on TV, radio, and Internet. In case you didn't realize this but the economy f***ing blows. Spending $250 for a family of four to go see AA quality baseball might not be in everyone's best interest.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 1, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) That's the best part of all the comparisons to the great run they had last year--they still failed in the end because of the massive hole they put themselves in. I'm not planning on spending a dime on this team this year. I was really excited before the season started and almost pulled the trigger on an Ozzie plan. Really glad I didn't do that. Ditto on the bolded. And I feel awful for season ticket holders. They can't give away tickets.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 1, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) I love the "anyone who wants Walker fired is an idiot because hitting coaches don't do a damned thing" defense. I wouldn't mind getting paid $100k to do nothing whatsoever.

I'm guessing 17 to 23K for each of those games.

Come on guys. Stop overreacting. It's only been 4+ weeks.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 1, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) 22k today???? MERCY Disaster is upon us. I wonder last time they had that low of attendance on a weekend day with nice weather. I'd imagine they lost any chance of getting respectable walk up numbers for the next few weeks, regardless of weather.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) Fine, Mark Buehrle is still a 3rd starter, too. It doesn't matter, the Indians are about to put us 10 GB. 100+ years of baseball history is against us now.

This is turning into one of the worst Sox teams I've ever seen.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 1, 2011 -> 02:13 PM) Hah, this was good for a chuckle.... Reading it and seeing my sig is good for extra laughs.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) WTF? You really think this is anyone's thought process? For real. We could lose 35 games in a row and still nobody would be fired.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 1, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) Can't keep waiting around hoping for 3 run homer against Britton and his super sinker. With Pierre getting on to lead off twice, I'm stunned they didn't put a play on. I can't recall more than one hit and run attempt all season. How could you possibly question ozzie? Perhaps you don't recall but we won the world series in 2005.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) Over a billion dollar this year FWIW. We are getting a tax refund and a pay down of pensions. All because of Planned Parenthood? Wow!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 03:56 PM) Republicans: #1 on the Economy! The economy in Indiana should see an enormous surplus within a year or so based on this prudent move.

Teahen

What a repugnant douche wad.

Some of you guys are starting to sound like Cub fans with your blind optimism. I have seen nothing that leads me to believe this team will be a contender this year.

Where the f*** is the accountability? Someone needed to be fired after that road trip.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 09:47 PM) Which player will come out first bashing Walker? The "job" he is doing is destroying the swings of too many players and will cost them dollars at best and careers at worst. Boy you change your tune quickly. Just a couple days ago you were harping on people for overreacting.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 07:17 PM) Not a lot of fans in the seats on what turned out to be a beautiful day. Are you really surprised? This awful start has guaranteed terrible attendance until June.
