Walker needs to be shown the door!!!!

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 04:26 PM) Uh-oh, Fathom. You use the R-word. Now people here are really going to flip out on you. I think fathom is right. This team is looking really old.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 04:16 PM) I'll puke if Terrero gets called up. .254 is his OBP. I'd have to guess that Sweeney is the back-up CF, but let's face it, Erstad is god-like and will never need a break. We desperately have to go outside the organization for help right now. Years of not producing home grown offensive talent has finally caught up. AMEN!! BROTHER!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) There's a struggle going on between KW and Ozzie. I think they have both worn out their welcomes. Get rid of both of them.

Why would they pick today to decide to send him down. Are they gonna try to blame him for keeping our players out late at night, and having a bad influence on all our offensive players!! He wasted a month on the bench, they should have just kept Eduardo Perez in the first place. I honestly have no idea what this org. is doing and I don't think they know neither.

I'm worried about the offense. They have been terrbible for a month now, and they show no signs of coming out of this funk that they have been in since the 2nd half of last year. When does KW finally hold someone accountable for the approach our hitters have. I mean it is just terrible. These players are making alot of money, and they look absolutlely terrible, and they show know signs of making adjustments at the plate. I just wonder what it is they work on during BP. The pitching has been solid, but the offense is just painful to watch.

This team is a .500 team. They will play this kind of ball the whole year. It's either homerun or nothing. Walker should be fired for our lack of having a decent hitting approach. KW did nothing this offseason to help this team win now. Not one thing. All second half of last year and so far this year has been the same crap with this team. Hit a homer, or don't hit at all.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 03:37 PM) what's been so tough about our schedule. no games with BoSox. no games with Yankees or blue Jays. no trips to Minny. May is just as tough to me. Nothing. They are just making excuses for our offense that's all. With the pitching we had this past month, we should be at least 5-7 games over .500. But every pitcher we faced and lost too, was Cy Young!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 03:33 PM) Pinella is overrated as a manager. I love their offense though. Guillen is overrated too. I'd take Pinella over Ozzie anyday.

Here we go. Hawk sucking up!! Shut up you F****head!!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 03:31 PM) Isn't it amazing what happens when you don't have an uppercut on every swing? Interesting question: who has better team, Cubs or Sox? I say the Cubs. Better manager, thats for sure.

This team has no chance to even smell the playoffs. KW really screwed this season up, big time.

We managed 4 hits off of Kelvim Escobar. And 2 were from Erstad. That is downright pathetic and emabarassing.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 03:18 PM) In 3 of our last 4 games, Hawk has talked up the pitcher as if they were Johan Santana's equal. YEP. WEAVER WAS THE SECOND BEST PITCHER NEXT TO SANTANA, AS FAR AS HAWK WAS CONCERNED

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 03:03 PM) We'll hear the injury excuse for the next month, guaranteed. Is Dye Injured? No!! Is Crede injured? No!!! Is Konerko Injured? No!!! So if they come with that excuse, then to hell with them all. This team had the worst hitting approach of possibly any team in the bigs. How Greg Walker has a job is beyond me. Ozzie ball is a joke, this team is built for one thing and it's to lift and pull and that's it. We need a hitting coach that preaches contact to the opposite field. Not swinging for the damn Dan Ryan. If I have to listen to Hawk and DJ another minute about Weaver yesterday and Escobar today, and how great they are I am gonna kick my tv screen in. Our hitters are pathetic!!! PERIOD!!!!

Watching this teams offense is absolutely painful. Something has to be done, because the weather excuse is no longer available

Get us back in the win column Mark!!

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 12:12 PM) Hey, Brian, less time talking, more time being a good baseball player. You are an automatic out. Shut your mouth. At least it sounds like Anderson is coming to grips with the fact that he, himself, has put himself in this position, nobody else--something the Soxtalk community can not seem to grasp. Couldn't have said it better myself!!!!

Congrats to Mark. That was one of the best all around baseball games I have ver seen the Whitesox play. Buehrle was unbelieveable, time for KW and JR to dig in those pockets and give this man his due.

Good job. It was a very good article.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Sep 22, 2006 -> 09:16 AM) If those are some of the reasons why they didn't do so well this yr (Rowand and Everett), then this team is more pathetic than their manager said last night You don't need rah rah guys to hustle out a SB or a double or not let a guy steal 3rd on the throw back to the pitcher. You do need played like that if the manager has lost his team. And from what I have seen of this team the last 2 months of the season leads me to believe these guys have tuned Guillen out. No one can say this team has been trying hard, and playing with any type of intensity. Guillen even said in Oakland before the last game, that if he walked into that clubhouse sunday and there was football being watched on the tv's, that there was gonna be some broken tv's in that clubhouse. You do need players that will step up, and be leaders, and fire up the team, or get in someone's face for dogging it. We don't have that, we have gentlmean Jim Thome, and konerko, and Dye. They are not outspoken and will not call out players when they need to. That's the way I look at it. I'm not saying if Rowand and Everett were here we would be in the playoffs, I'm just saying, I don't think we would be just going through the motions like they are now. This whole orginization got fat off of one world series championship. I guess that was enough for them. I would have thought KW would have had a closed door meeting with this team and ripped them all a new a*****e, for the way they have been playing, but maybe he is satisfied with last year as well. There was no sense of urgency anywhere throughout the year from anyone in this orginization, and that's what really bothers me. KW didn't do anything at the deadline to improve our team whatsoever.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Sep 22, 2006 -> 12:43 AM) I can't even begin to tell you how bad this pisses me off if it's true. But on the other hand...it makes sense. Seems like they wrote it off a month ago. Geezus....left the yound kids play the rest of the season then if the core has a s*** attitude. Tim Kurkjian also said he spoke to a source close to the Whitesox and said that they really miss Rowand because of the enthusiasm he brought to the clubhouse and also Carl Everett because last year he would come in the clubhouse and if the players were watching tv before the games, he would shut the tv's off and say "alright guys no tv, we have to concentrate and get ready to win a ballgame today". Maybe Carl was right at the beginning of the year when he said we have no vocal leader that will take charge in the clubhouse. Just something to think about. All I know these guys are making way too much money, to not at least bring 100% to the remaining games. I could understand if they were all ready eliminated, but they aren't. And although it would take a miracle to make the playoffs, they are still in it, and a win last night would have cut the lead to 4.5 with 9 to go. But these guys have mailed it in already. It just really is disgusting and a shame. The fans supported this team and it just laid down!!!

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 10:44 PM) I saw that too. He said there was a sign with info for the players about shipping their cars home. If this is true then I blame the whole orginization fro JR all the way down to the batboys. That's just accepting losing. This team really let me down this year, after the year they had last year, and now to just be going through the motions is bull s**t. This team gave up!!! I wonder what our team captain has to say about this. Probably nothing as usual. The whole second half this team has had a lackadsical attitude like they could care less. Yet us fans continue to support them and hope they can make it to the postseason, only to find out, they are making plans for as soon as the season ends to get outta town. I'm disgusted with the whole orginization!!!
