Whats sad is Loaiza pitched another great game but our pathetic offense couldnt back it up. This team is an embarrassment...

Good point. Should I be offended by an idiot like steff (sorry I couldnt resist taking a shot at her) calling me an idiot? No. Ill never meet her and I have plenty of friends in the real world so I dont give a flyin flip if she likes me or not. And one reason I may appear rude at times is that I get mad at something like my girlfriend breaking up with me and then Ill come here and see that Buehrle was mediocre so Ill crucify him. I dont like him at all, but sometimes I admit I make him seem worse than he really is because Im just mad at something completely unrelated...

Frank

Exactly. Wouldnt you be more mad if I told you wed definitely win the WS but then we failed, or if I just said were doomed from the begininng? If you said we were doomed from the beginning, and we did fail, Id be mad but I wouldnt be super mad. If you lied tho, I would be mad. You and I are Sox fans, but were different only because were honest. The rest of these people are lying to themselves...

Whatever yas. Im a Sox fan and I dont care what some message board schmuck says. Im a Sox fan but I have a real short fuse... wow someone with balls.............and a self esteem. Don't mistake a lack of intelligence and self-control for "balls". I respect people who speak the truth. Why WOULD anyone give a rats ass what some chump on the internet thinks? Thank you bmr. You know what I like about you? That you also arent afraid to speak the truth. As am I. I believe several people here run from the truth which is inevitable. You and me, altho sometimes excessively negative, never run from the truth. And the truth is that this team sucks. Everybody else says, "Its only May, we have plenty of time to turn this ship around". Me and you say the truth, even if the truth isnt what we want to believe. I bet you want to believe that well win the WS this year, I sure as heck do, but Im going to face it and realize that the way were playing, that probably isnt going to happen. And Ill never meet anyone here so I could care less what they think of me. I could be someone on here and yet a totally different person in real life. I am actually, and I bet several people on here are just like that. Im kinda a pessimist on here, but in real life Im very optimistic really, and I actually hate to criticize people (altho there are certain exceptions). Dont believe me but honest to God it is the truth...

I was thinking about Olivo at leadoff but for some reason, which I have forgotten now, I didnt. I think it was his low OBP. But Olivo at leadoff and Maggs at second is kinda intriguing. What about Maggs leading off? OK, bad plan, forget I ever said that...

Whatever yas. Im a Sox fan and I dont care what some message board schmuck says. Im a Sox fan but I have a real short fuse...

Has anyone here been to Hawaii?

Ive been to the Outter Banks before. Nice place but still doesnt come close to my number one, IMO...

Geez, you guys make Rocky seem like some kind of hero. I liked him when he was here and I love him for hitting AJ but hes gone now. Theres nothing we can do about it. And also, that 4.26 ERA isnt very good...

Well, I do know we have some very traveled people on this board, myself included. So now Ive been wondering, out of all the places youve been, wheres your favorite place? Here are mine: 3) Washington DC- Beautiful city. Filled with history. The White House, the capitol (looking up the mall towards the capitol building is an extremely patriotic and beautiful sight). The Washington monument is awesome (Ive been to the top) and it looks kinda small at first but when you get up next to it it is huge. And the most beautiful thing in the city is Arlington cemetery. I love that place. Full of the greatest types of patriots and the white rows of graves are so very beautiful and they serve as a reminder of all the heros who have paid the ultimate price for the country they love... 2) Chicago- Yeah, some of you probably thought this would be number one, but in fact, its not even close. Ive always had a thing for tall buildings (which is why I was kinda unhappy in Europe) and obviously Chicago has quite a few of those. But my favorite place in the city is on the Southside. Its not my favorite place in the world but it is my favorite place in the city. Comiskey Park. I love the feeling as you look down at the field and see the players. You can see the expressway in the background and the projects behind that. I only wish the team that plays there would play a little better... And NUMER ONE IS... Hawai'i! I love this place. I havent been there since I was about eight but I go there in my head every single day. Im going there as soon as I graduate from high school and if I get my way Im going to the University of Hawai'i. When I retire, Im going to Hawai'i. To sum it up, every possible time I have the chance, Im going to Hawai'i. If you havent been there, its impossible to imagine its beauty. There are so many things to do. You can just watch as the sun sets over the islands, you can snorkel in Hanuma Bay, you can hang out on Waikiki Beach, you can see history at Pearl Harbor and the Arizona memorial. Ive been to Oahu and I think the other two were Maui and Kaui (sp). You can go to luaus which are really fun and you can do so much stuff. I can talk about Hawaii for hours. I cant wait to go back...

Earlier this year we shook up the lineup a bit and it seemed to jumpstart this offense somewhat. But then Manuel, in all his genius, changed it back and the offense went back to hell! So I propose a new lineup, and here it is: Lee LF (he is the fastest guy on the team and he gets on base very well) Olivo C (also pretty fast and he can bunt decently) Ordonez RF (best all around hitter on the team) Thomas DH (hits for power but has lost his BA) Konerko 1B Crede 3B Valentin SS Borchard/Rios/Rowand/Harris CF Jiminez 2B If Alomar is playing, heres the lineup: Lee LF Valentin SS Ordonez RF Thomas DH Konerko 1B Crede 3B Alomar C Borchard/Rios/Rowand/Harris CF Jiminez 2B Dont even bother asking. I have indeed gone completely insane...

Wait a sec, whatd Garland do? You cant blame the guy for going 6 IP with 2 ER. This loss aint his fault...

May 27th! Hell be 35 is it?

Buehrle and PK, go ahead! Id white flag those two losers in a haertbeat! But if Frank goes, its kill Kenny time...

They cant beat the Tigers. Heck, Ill be surprised if they win 70...

Lead by example. Thomas puts up good number so he leads by example. Jose puts up crappy numbers but hes a leader because he points his finger. Not a very good leader by example!

Agreed....except I am not positive that we will be out of it by the All-Star break. I realize KW is not in charge anymore....but he put the team together....and teams that KW has put together have, in the past, had 2 very terrible months, 2 months where they played decently, and 2 months where they played outstanding baseball. This is our second month of terrible baseball. The only hope we have left is that the above holds true. Nah, just by the time were completely and hopelessly out of it, the team comes alive. They never fail to dissappoint!

I thought Carlos game winning homer the other day would be like Abbots 2000 heroics. Fact is, we just suck. Outside of Frank, Maggs, DJ, Carlos, Loaiza, Wunsch, Marte and Colon this team has just sucked. And Crede right now is leading the way. Errors like that kill momentum, which we had for about a day and a half...

He made the error that allowed them to score. Ill never support Crede again. Crede, PK, Manuel, KW, Einhorn, JR and Buehrle are on my permanent Sox blacklist...

Oh, as soon as were out of the race I know well wake up...

Lead by example. Loaiza, Maggs and Thomas are this teams leaders by example...

I am embarrassed to be a Sox fan...

He sure hasnt helped any. And dump Crede. Any schmuck who helps Mike Maroth get a win doesnt deserve to play big league ball. Crede sucks!

Im not watching on TV. It said Santiago reached on an error by Crede and Young reached on a double to left. Crede made an error and if he hadnt made it, Youngs double and Carlos so called blunder would never have mattered...
