Why is Shoemaker still at Kanny? Really irritating, especially with KW Jr.. taking up a roster spot at Birmingham which he has done nothing to earn.

Peavy C- Danks D+ Floyd D+ Jackson C- Buehrle B+ Humber A Pena F (please never come back!!) Ohman C- Bruney B Sale C+ Thornton C Crain B+ Santos A- Pierre C- Ramirez B- Konerko A Dunn F CQ C+ Rios F AJ B- Becks C- (it's that high simply for the Defense) Morel- C Teahen D- Lilli B- (probably B+ a month ago) Blastro B- Omar C Ozzie F Kenny F Overall grade D

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) The more things change the more things stay the same. So nothing will change, but in response we will be better or worse in the second half. Because if things changed they'd stay the same, you see. I don't know what the f*** you just said.

I want the whole lot of them gone. Kenny, Ozzie and the whole coaching staff. But do I think there will be any change? Sadly, no. I kinda think there's a better chance that unicorns appear on the Southside than there's any White Sox organizational change.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 09:16 AM) I saw it on TV! Amazing the amount of negativity we have after a win. I hate it! It was great to win but frankly my overall mood is still pretty negative. Just because we win one game you can't expect sunshine and lollipops. A little bit sure, but you have to wait till lots of things improve/change before all the negativity subsides. I hate the negativity too. That's why I'm staying out of game threads for now.

LET'S WIN THIS THING!!!!

Is there any word yet on how long Blastro will be out?

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:41 PM) Glad they won. Wish people could find something positive. I'm ecstatic that they won, as I always am when they win. Problem is that there's been not enough of that (winning) lately. I'm afraid that tomorrow they'll lose again and they'll have won 1 out of 4, at home. But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to think positive.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:06 PM) But there's part of me that feels like Ozzie bought himself another week with this win that he had absolutely nothing to do with. Doesn't that suck? It's like 1 or 2 wins keeps buying him more time. Ugh. Just fire him and let's !!!!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) I actually wouldn't be too shocked if Donny Lucy got the call. I'd prefer Lucy but hey good luck to Flowers if it's him!

F*** the Twins! F*** losing!!!!

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 04:51 PM) hate when the scoreboard tells you to cheer and get loud. so annoying and artificial I dislike most modern-era scoreboard crap but then whaddya expect from a crotchety old f*** like me.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 10:23 AM) From Gammons' lips to God's ear!!! Please be true! PLEAASE!

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 08:47 PM) Amazing...four days ago, I was feeling optimistic. This team is toast. Likewise. I didn't like what I was seeing but was encouraged by some things. I still had hope. It's gone......again. I want them to lose now. Eventually, changes will have to be made, won't they?

I first checked on the game right after the 1st inning and saw much to my surprise that the Sox lead 5-1, but I told my daughter, "Don't be too excited. They won't score any more and they'll lose". This sh*t is so f***ing predictable. BLOW THIS TEAM UP!!!!!!!

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 07:54 PM) Another embarrassing matchup against the Twins. I love the disgust in Stone's voice when he's describing these scrub relief pitchers out there for Minnesota. We need to lose these next two games. Nothing may happen, but if there ever was a moment to push change (ANY change) it'd be then; right before the ASB. Piece of cake!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) I may watch it until it's unwatchable again. You mean like the 2nd inning?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 11:19 AM) pierre7, ram6, pk3, dunnDH, q9, rios8, aj2, beck4, morel5, gavin1 I can hardly contain my excitement.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 11:11 AM) Hopefully Craig Biggio is coming to save the day. I'd prefer Rusty Staub.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 10:49 AM) I too think he should get ABs but not in Chicago. He needs to take an assignment to Charlotte where he can work it out and re-gain his confidence. They should just call this what it is and that's more than just a slump, this is something so extreme that extraordinary measures should be taken. Yeah, I think of a slump being a bad stretch covering a span anywhere between a couple of days to a couple of weeks. This ain't no slump. He needs to go to Charlotte because working out the problem here is killing the team. If he weren't able to improve in Charlotte, then what though???

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 10:32 AM) http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/07/08/wis...-really-matter/ Pretty good read. Who hasn't wondered what purpose a major league hitting coach really serves. "But best I can figure, the main purpose of a big league hitting coach is to serving as a fall guy when an underachieving team isn’t quite yet ready to fire its manager." That's about it really. I wish to hell Kenny, Ozzie and the entire coaching staff except for Cooper would all be fired. Then we start anew and begin to make player changes and boy, I'd like to see a lot of player changes (a LOT). This team has just been simply embarrassingly bad and really boring and predictable. I'll continue to watch but I'm real quick to turn it off and find something (anything) else to do and I don't even want to go in the game thread any more, it's so depressing. Game threads should be fun but all it is any more is complaining about the same old stuff and rightfully so because all we see game after game is the same old stuff.
