This is where AJ has sucked this year.

For having a great year, Marshall is 3-7 with a 4.50 ERA....I realize ERA is bogus as Linebrink, Dotel and gas can Tony all have lower one's but I thought he was going well compared to the banterings of cub talk.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) what a great trade that turned out to be I keep looking for the Joe Borchard threads in Diamondclub but I am not seeing them.

Wow Thorton. Also would like to see a couple of runs added here so we can BRING IN DJ!!!! I think DJ and Thorton are locks going forward as far as consistentcy is concerned, which along with Jenks is about all you can ask for.

I agree that Wise gives it everything he has. I hated him....no I hated the situation he was put in, earlier in the year but he has kind of worn on me. The massive contracts the cubs hold is enough to make anyone sick.

Outside of the Colorado Rockie the starting rotation has been amazing on this road trip. The offense sucks beyond belief. The pen has been bad but there is no room for error with anyone out there as the offense can not get back anything they give up.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:31 PM) Sure we do. Did you miss the game winning hit 24 hours ago? Something about sunshine and a dog's ass comes to mind when thinking about this.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:29 PM) So when did Gordo quit trying to drive the ball the other way? That was what made him so effective. Sadly that is the White Sox mantra.......I thought one thing about Rios was he did not strike out often.......

Cleveland tied detroit.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:15 PM) Expectations of your team and hope that they win are not indicative of being a fan? Really? What is? b**** and moaning and constantly saying negative comments about the players, coaches and front office? The difference between perception and reality the optomistic fan sees a chance to win until you are eliminated. The pessismistic fan see the season as it has played out thus far and feelsthat it will continue. Neither is a lesser of a fan in my book.

I hope the Sox average three hit batters a game the next time the Royals come to town.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 01:53 PM) Pods sure can hit. Now if he could just get a baserunnng lesson we'd be set. That seems to be the Sox luck, how friggin hard is it to run the bases?

The White Sox should really all come to the game in a clown car. I also agree that CQ is getting a free pass. He looks to be healthy and able to pick up right wher Dye and Thome left off next year...god I hope i am wrong.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 01:31 PM) I'd argue that Getz has it too. It's probably the best skill that he has to offer. I would agree but for a player with zero power he needs to be more selective. He is useless unless his OBP is over .360.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 01:26 PM) Virtually no baseball IQ. You are so right and I wish this was something that was talked about outside of this forum. Going the other way and playing sound baseball is baseball IQ, AJ is the only person on that team that has it. Our pitchers do not even have it hence the lead off walks, 0-2 hits and 2 rallies they give up. Lettting go strikes go and fouling off tough pitches are things Sox hitters are incapable of.

They wanted home plate to be at the corner of 35th and Shields. Real bad decision among many that went into building that place.

I am in the phase where I want to see good baseball played and if they lose because the team is betterthan them, fine. I just hate the effortless s*** and bad baseball we have seen a good portion of this season.

If you are going to play Wise, and I do not think they should. Put him in CF, Quentin in RF and Podsednik in LF...........ah forget it, Kotsay should be right over Wise.... This team really is making it hard to care. I do not care how bad Dye and Rios are playing they should both be in over Wise. You have the pitcher hitting today though so Kotsay's bat could be more useful off the bench than Wise.

The Wilting Flower of the South.

MOST PLAYERS WORTH A s*** IN ANY SPORT PLAY BETTER AT HOME!!!!!! I LIKE BEING IN MY HOUSE BETTER THAN THE DOUCHE'S DOWN THE BLOCK!!!!!! THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH NICK SWISHER. ALSO THERE ARE MORE HOME RUNS HIT AT THE CELL BECAUSE THE SOX ARE A POWER TEAM AND THEY PLAY HALF OF THEIR GAMES THERE. Sorry for the caps, carry on.

I thought I would point out as we need to make threads about every traded player, that in a huge game for the Braves who are in the wildcard race, Vazquez s*** the bed against the Fish who are right behind them. If we could only have the 5 tool Chris Young back.

I watched on the computer and listened on the radio until the bottom of the eighth and just got back in, all I'll I say is........Son of a b****

The Boston fans at the cell will outnumber the Sox fans.....they will all be booing this team.

When you are not hitting pitchers goright at the hitter thus they are 0-2....... Duensing gave him 7 pitches to hit......

This is sad to watch....
