QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 9, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) 1. I'm a White Sox fan and I come here to post in game threads to follow and SUPPORT the team I cheer for. 2. I don't enjoy sitting here and telling you how dumb you are for being upset, I'm upset with this teams performance as well but I don't sit here stating the obvious how Gordon Beckham or Mark Kotsay suck, instead I rather remain optimistic and hope they figure it out soon. There are poster, that no matter if this team is winning or losing, come to game threads to spit in player faces. 3. I realize you're a retired Mod and been here around longer than most us, that's why it is surprising to see the lack of objectivity. Go look back and see what my ratio of good/bad posts are in gamethreads. I'm not as negative as you seem to think I am. Yes, I call Kotsay Flopsay because I feel that it was an awful, awful decision to bring him back. I'm one of the few who actually backed Pierre, despite how dreadful he has started this season. There is no one player, save Scott Podsednik when he was a Sox player, that I've harped on and constantly berated, ever. Not many of the negative posters can claim that on here.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2010 -> 05:51 PM) Not to nitpick, as I'm happy with the way Quentin looked. But "keep Teahen hitting"? Huh? .230 is good for us at that position right now...though he is not doing much lately. Nix/Teahen platoon is about all we can do at 3rd isn't it? The backup that needs the most looking at is Castro.

In other news, every Rios AB seems to be successful, and Quentin ripped the ball today. IF we can get Beckham to move down the order and find his swing, and keep Teahen hitting, who knows.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 9, 2010 -> 05:41 PM) Guess what pal, we have a team that maybe will finish 3rd in our division this year. Watch all the games you want but they will continue to lose most of their games hence why we will not win this division. Does your diehard fan'ism allow you to understand and comprehend? Who said anything about worrying we're gonna win the division? I am content to see us win games period. Maybe you should check out some other site to hang out at, perhaps the Twins or D-Rays fan sites. If you already know this team has no shot in hell to win the division, then why in god's name are you hanging around in game threads, where...you know, this '3rd place team at best's fans' sit and vent frustration about how we should be doing better but we aren't?? Are you a glutton for punishment? Do you enjoy sitting around and telling us how dumb we are for being upset at this team's performance? Hey, whatever floats your boat. But notice I've been around these parts much longer than most people, I've been through plenty of Sox ups and downs here, if this type of message board commentating makes you sadface IRL, you have some SERIOUSLY bad days ahead of you.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 9, 2010 -> 05:36 PM) Die hard fans ? Die hard fans are supporters, what some of here are doing are not supporting, you are right now insulting die hard fans out there. Apologies. All posts from now on will be about all the good things in life...sunshine, puppy dogs, the 2005 World Championship, Pods start to the 2010 season. Only the good things. Man, I am so happy its sunny out today where I live, I saw some puppies outside that were soooooooo cute!! I think its time to pop the 2005 World Series DVD in to watch some awesome baseball, and reminisce about our great run, and contemplate what a great 2010 Pods is having.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 9, 2010 -> 05:32 PM) But what's the reason of doing that every day? Certain posters come here and say we are awful/garbage/insert_whatever; Twins are gods, they are running away with this division. Next day, same exact thing. We f***ing got you the first time, why repeat yourself? Not aimed at you but some posters in general. Because some of us, no matter how bad the season is going, are diehard fans who refuse to miss a single game. I buy mlb.tv every year so I can watch every Sox game all year. Does that mean I should only comment when things are going well? This message board provides a place for all of us diehard Sox fans to vent frustrations, which, right now, there are lots of unfortunately.

Now that we're losing, this thread should multiply in posts quickly!

Comical at this point

Yeah, seriously...get OUT OF THE DAMN GAME

Epic.Failure Bye Jenks, enjoy doing something besides closing for a major league team.

Linebrink warming???wtf, no no no no no

And here we go...

BIG insurance run there!

Nice inning Pena, well done. Oh lord, does that mean youknowwho for the 9th? I'm scared

Erg, or maybe not...that was a clusterf*** waiting to happen.

Oh, hai AJ, pay f***ing attention....Paulie called that the whole time.

Not exactly who I want to see here pitching in the 8th, but hopefully Pena can come through.

Haha, I'll take it!

Feck...they're gonna make Pierre do the job if its going to be done...

Hot damn, I love Alex Rios....like, seriously

Well he gave him a shot, and pulled him on the walk, that makes sense. Can we PLEASE keep it at 1 run so we have a shot here?

Ummmmmmmmmm....why is Gavin Floyd still in this game?

Rios is absolutely locked in right now, someone drive him in!

Beckham, completely lost and overmatched at the plate.

Bases loaded, no one out...and we get....1 run
