QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 10, 2010 -> 07:27 AM) This was the first bad series the team has played, basically, since the first week of June. That's two months, and that's pretty amazing. This was bound to happen eventually, and it happened on the road, against an underachieving team who just got a new manager. Losing 3 of 4 is nothing to panic about, at all. The only really scary thing is the offensive woes, and the fact that the Sox are still without a major league DH. Not sure there is any way to address that at this point, but perhaps getting Teahen back might help a bit, if he plays over Kotsay. That series vs the Twinkies after the ASB was also a doozy... While I don't want to exagerate, losing 3 of 4 was bad, don't give a crap if they got a new manager, you simply don't lose to the worst team in MLB if you want to go deep in the playoffs IMO. Twins fans are chomping at the bit, saying stuff like "this guys aren't so good, if we get anything from our starters, we should win the series"...nice.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) 3 hits, against THE WORST TEAM IN MLB. They aren't a 'bad' team, they are the WORST team in baseball. Defend it all you want, but there is no way in hell you should lose 3 of 4 to this team. Your negativity is bumming me out...

another 5 pitch inning and I'm gonna hurl...

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) 9 runs in 3.75 games, against the worst team in the majors. Bravo shhhhhh, u might be accused of being "negative"

I don't think we are anymore negative than other MLB forums, I've been to a few and they have about the same amount of negativity on their posts (Twins and Tigers for example). I read many threads where they swear their manager is a moron and their GM is an imbecile and their players are the worst etc,... I kind of feel that its more natural to be pessimistic about your team's chances than optimistic unless you are a complete homer who believes your team can't do no wrong, I mean take a look at the Yankees, they've won 26 or 27 WS (too lazy to look it up), they are far and away the most succesful team and yet you'll still see them b****ing and moaning about their chances. Anyways, I actually find it amusing and interesting rather than reading threads and posts of just how awesome the White Sox are...well, that's my two cents worth.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 12:14 AM) "Just can't afford to lose this game tonight..." "will be sitting at home this postseason unless certain players get their act together..." "...that's what good teams do (the twins tying the game)" I would have expected after an uncharacteristic bad loss (one of VERY FEW bad losses in the past 51 games...I think I count 3 maybe 4 total) that people would be a little negative, but are we really this faithless? The team just rattled off 9 of 11 and 38 of 51, and although yesterday was an almost-loss, we ultimately got the job done. You expect a division rival to play hard and put themselves in a position to win...I was not surprised that Detroit didn't just roll over. I'm still pissed at Bobby, obv. Two losses to Baltimore would probably be wholly unacceptable. One loss just isn't, folks...especially on the road. Bear in mind Texas lost 4 straight at home to the Showalter-less Orioles earlier this season...did that sabotage their whole season? Every contender has bad losses. The key is to minimize them. Hopefully we are able to rattle off three straight. +1 When the best you can hope to do at this game is basically win 65% of your games, you're gonna have some bad losses in there. Let's make sure we get after em tomorrow.

I don t want Jenks anywhere near the 9th inning....Putz or Thornton for closer

At least the Tigers ain t the Twins or this game would ve been over in the bottom of the 9th.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) Well, we probably managed to bring the Tigers back to life this season. Congratulations Jenks. Just like he did with the Twins, yaaaaaay!

WTF Kotsay????

Lili getting in on the action

SOX on a roll!

Let's go Rays!!

Yes, Rays take game 1 defeating the 'Stache...Mauer DNP. Here's hoping for a Rays sweep

It's nice watching the Sox beat up on teams we should beat...we should definitly fatten up our W record these upcoming series...
