QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:27 PM) So who takes the blame for this awful product? With 70 or some home games left, you're looking at huge payroll implications for the next few seasons if this crap keeps up. A lot of blame goes to Kenny for assembling this pile of crap but Ozzie's decisions and lineups have been absolutely brutal so far.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) That's true, but you wait: The Sox will come up with some cheap seat or parking promotions this season before it's over. They'll have to. I just think at this point it's worth it to criticize every little thing in a Blackhawks game cause that team really has a chance and it's worth geting worked up about. This lousy Sox team has absolutely no chance unless the staff gives up 1-2 runs a night the rest of the year. That would take starters going into the eighth inning every night giving up 1-2 runs max and that ain't gonna happen either. So enjoy the games for what they are. They're already having all kinds of special deals being promoted on facebook and twitter. Advance ticket sales must be plummeting.

Pretty solid outing for Gavin so far.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:25 PM) Didn't that come out last year? About 3 or 4 months ago I believe.

Green Zone looks decent.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) Next time someone uses Spring Training stats to judge a hitter/pitcher, they should be forced to watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants...1 and 2! The extended director's cut.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) Man, there's extrapolating from small sample sizes... Doesn't seem like I'm far off in my estimation.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) like aj swinging first pitch He's shown that it's been a very effective strategy for him this year. I hope he continues to use it.

Thank goodness we have all this flexibility with our lineup. Carlos gets dinged up? No problem! We can plug in Kotsay just like that!

So we have about 3 good hitters right now, maybe 2 good starting pitchers and 3 good relief pitchers. It's very hard to get excited about baseball.

The White Sox are a car wreck at this point. You just can't help but to look.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) The sooner he becomes a full time DH, the better. Agreed

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) So it took less than a month for Quentin to get hurt this season? I wonder how long this injury will linger? That's one area I think Kalapse is completely wrong on...downplaying the fragility of Carlos.

Teahen walks and proves why I keep saying he should bat 2nd behind Rios.

Beckham getting hot would be quite nice right about now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:50 PM) Oh come on, you're writing the game off at 1 run? We're on pace for 3 hits.

I don't see an improvement in defense over last year's squad.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:43 PM) Can't Santos just hit every time Pierre is due up like in Little League? For real. Or just use the DH for Pierre and have Floyd hit. Can't be worse than what we're getting.

Nice job Juan 'LOB' Pierre.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) Whats your point? please clarify: you want walker fired because we're paying him and the offense sucks? or you want him fired because you dont think a hitting coach does anything? you realize we JUST extended walkers contract last year right? hes not going anywhere. heres an idea, stop signing losers like Pierre, Kotsay, as your everyday players. I like how Peavy, Floyd, Buehrle, all suck and you never hear Coops name brought up for being canned. Whats wrong with you people? We have a terrible month or 2 every single year. Even when we had a lot more offensive talent. And I think Cooper is vastly overrated as well.

And somehow Greg Walker still has a job. We can take a full month or 2 each and every season where no one is hitting on the team and continue to pay our hitting coach.

Hawk has got to be tired of saying things like "and the Sox have 1 hit through 4".

I just have to laugh whenever I look at the numbers for our everyday 1 and 2 hitters.

Kotsay

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 09:19 AM) This bill has been very good at showing us the difference between old school individual freedom Republicans, and the angry, hateful social conservatives. We're seeing a number of GOP'ers standing up and saying that certain aspects of this law go too far. But then you get people like Hunter, Palin, etc., that are showing their true colors. via
