lefty that throws breaking balls? hopefully we can take 2 out of 3 tomorrow.

wise is in the starting lineup tonight, per the score..

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 01:11 AM) The Sox are 38-31, which is a .551 winning percentage, or an 89 win pace. The DBacks are 37-33, which is a .529 winning percentage, or an 86 win pace. The Sox aren't the worst first place team and so "knowing" it is more like "thinking" it, because statistically, the Sox are only the second worst first place team in all of baseball. Hope you sleep better at night having learned this knowledge. i was not speaking relative to win/loss record, but more towards the flawed design of our offense, as well as our hitters inability to adjust to soft-tossing lefties and crush anything that isn't a fastball arizona has a pretty well-rounded offense, they can score off the homerun and manufacture runs. this team seems to be shut-down rather easily, and has become more and more frequent despite facing teams that the rest of the league has no problems with.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 15, 2008 -> 11:01 PM) If Carlos Quentin doesn't start getting two hits a night again and hitting gappers and homers, we are in deep s***. Five of six losses, lethargic play against the Rockies. how does it make other sox fans feel to know we're the worst 1st place team in all of baseball? personally, it makes me feel like sh** and lately i'm just in a bad mood and it's reflecting while i'm at work as well, i mean i can't help that i absolutely LOVE baseball and I love the sox, i don't care how bad they're playing... i'll never change how much i love this team, but at the same time, i wear my sox emotions on my sleeves and it sucks this team is just baseball retarded when it comes to hitting a baseball, and honestly they've been this way for quite some time..

beanball time, guys.

this team is just fundamentally baseball retarded when it comes to hitting the 2008 white sox are THE most offensively inept team in all of major league baseball, i've never seen in my whole life a team that is so flawed with their hitting approach at this level of the game, seriously a veteran+youthful lineup that cant put the ball in play off changeups and can't lay off sliders off the plate? off a guy with an 8+ ERA? are you f***ing kidding me? and this is not the first time this year, or last year, or in 2006 for that matter, that this has happened either. guys who throw either left-handed, or throw junk.. rarely for strikes, are the kind of underachieving MLB pitchers that this team makes look like Cy Young candidates. how many times this year have we heard from Farmer, Stoney, Hawk or DJ "Ignore this guy's ______ ERA (replace with a number over 7), he's not as bad as he looks." no f***ing sh*t he isn't, we're swinging at every possible BAD pitch in this guys arsenal and can't read the ball out of his hand when it's a hittable pitch! when you have that kind of approach, EVERY BAD pitcher is going to look like his numbers are being misconstrued! why isn't this EXACT, word for word, concept brought up to the coaches or management/FO of this team? this seems like something that is destroyed in a players early years and only gets worse as they progress once again, as this couldn't be said ENOUGH IMO: we were shut down by a TERRIBLE 8+ ERA pitcher tonight. no other team in baseball that I've seen is this consistently terrible at hitting when it comes to pitchers that you're SUPPOSED to knock around unreal.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 08:04 PM) Hard to believe this championship team can go from dominating seven straight to all of sudden rolling over for three. Inconsistent, but at least we are in 1st place and you hope things become more consistent with the win streaks. You can't win em all, but you sure can wish you could. bosox got swept by seattle last year, and toronto, and they were probably teams that weren't any worse than the tigers are this year just sayin

twins lost along with us, man don't do us any favors twinkies, sheesh! haha still 5.5

has lofton even swung a bat this year?

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 01:38 PM) 8 games is nothing, especially when you're chasing a laborious offense like the Sox. Our offense is not sustainable. Only saving grace is I don't think Detroit has the pitching to really get there and the Indians offense is actually WORSE than ours. the division sucks, which gives me hope. hope for a quick exit in the 1st round? because that's what i see when watching this hot/cold offense.

swept. hilarious. at least we get to go back home to the flashing lights in center.

lol at this team right now.

wtf, brandon inge playing catcher tonight?

if we don't win tonight i'm going to be pissed.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 11:38 PM) If the Sox keep hitting in Detroit, I'll be amazed and happy. Isn't it a hitter's nightmare of a park? Keep it up, Swish! hopefully we'll hear a lot of hawk's "Let's keep the line moving" with a bunch of doubles off the wall, though it's not difficult to hit HR's to left field, Center/Right-Center and Right aren't as friendly

LOL watching the encore of the game, i can't believe i missed this earlier Swisher & Paulie do a hop-bump in the dugout after paulie's jack in the 7th inning, funniest thing I think I've ever seen in my life, these guys are about as loose as you can get right now also, so much for cabrera being in ozzie's doghouse, after cabrera scored in the 7th and went back to the dugout, him and ozzie definitely shared a nice grins & smiles moment

probably isnt' a coincedence that both came from west coast teams, and both started off the season reallly reallllllllllly slowly, time will tell

:sweep: :sweep: :sweep:

LOL the runner at 3rd stays, high-larious

this is what happens when you haven't pitched in like 5 days, and one of your last outings was a blown save, ugh

yeah let's make this interesting bobby, ffs.

when did craig monroe become so difficult to strike out? seriously

anyone listen to the score yesterday when they were at cork & carrie's? even prior to that, when cooper called chris during the post-game and was like "Get off the air and get down here now", either his sense of humor eludes me or he was sick of waiting for chris to get down there, lol coop sounded hilarious, like he was drunk or something, and during the chat @ the bar, coop even had the nerve to call out Chris saying "last year you said Gavin wasn't any good" and i was surprised he put Chris on the spot like that on the air, but i've always felt that Coop absolutely hates the media
