Nice work Adam, keep this s*** going Avi!

Let's get some f***ing runs!!

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 6, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) Cheers! I am drinking Gringolandia Wheat right now. I've never had but I would recommend. Unfortunately all we got in the kitchen is Summer Shandy, which is not my ideal choice for a Sox game. I'll definitely make note of this Gringolandia Wheat.

Alright I need to start drinking, the team seems to respond well to my alcohol consumption.

f*** you Tigers!!

Abreu really due for a HR.

f*** yes!!! Tie game!

God I love Micah Johnson!

There we go Micah!!

Amazing that Simon looks that bad and we barely get a f***ing run.

Good eye Conor! Your turn Lexi!

Good eye Avi! Your turn Conor!

Come on Avi!

We're about to get swept by the f***ing Twins, Robin's job should not be safe anymore.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 10:46 PM) It was average last year and they improved at most positions, even factoring in regression from Jose and even Eaton. That it's been league worst so far this year is just completely inexplicable IMO. Like rolling a dice and getting snake eyes 3 times in a row. In fact, it's so variant that I think some of it lies with lack of mental preparation and readiness stemming from Robin's poor leadership. I think a major part of the problem is guys are clearly pressing. I don't like blaming a manager for his players' struggles, but when it's widespread across the lineup and for an extended period of time, you really have no other choice.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 3, 2015 -> 03:15 AM) If the Sox aren't gonna fire Ventura they need to do what the Royals did the year before they won the division. Royals put George Brett in the dugout a month; we need to beg Big Frank to be in the dugout a month. Or Bo Jackson. Bo might even be better. Just do it, White Sox. The status quo is ridiculous. We are 2-10 on the road this year and it's only going to get WAY WORSE. Minnesota has a s*** team, complete s*** and we're about to go 0-4 in Minnie vs. them. I agree. Add Big Frank or Bo Jackson to the dugout a month and we're back in business. The only problem is Frank is super busy right now selling his delicious beer in Berwyn. Let's cross our fingers Bo is available.

We've scored 2 runs or less in 11 of 20 games. Our record in those games is 0-11. By contract, we're 7-1 when we score 3 or more runs.

Balta's thread yesterday reversed-jinxed the pitching, so I'm hoping that this thread will get the offense back on track. So real questions to generate some discussion? 1) Will the offense rebound? Poll included. 2) If not, any ideas on how to fix or spark it? I will say this, we can't afford scoring two or less runs a game much longer and Robin & Rick will need to do something soon if this keeps up.

.360 winning percentage on the road, maybe the manager deserves some blame here.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 10:07 PM) Over at SSS one guy mentioned that the Twins broadcast crew was making excuses for the Sox talking about the travel and disjointed series with Baltimore. GMAFB. THIS IS THE TWINS FFS. You know things are bad with a club when the 2015 Twins are making excuses for you. I don't know man, Shark & Sale both s***ting the bed makes me think it's somewhat plausible. Pitching on six days rest in particular probably f***s with their routine.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 09:11 PM) We have seen the same thing all year. Even in the games that were won, the team was making a ton of mistakes. Well that part is true, but writing off individual players based on a handful of games or even a bad month is rather short-sighted. The offense in particular is way better than what we've seen in April. Same goes for Shark. Not saying this is a legit playoff contender, but no way we are close to this bad.

As s***ty as these last two games have been, a lot of you guys sure love jumping to conclusions over a handful of games.

Holy f***, Eaton's ass better sit the rest of this series. Bases loaded down by a f***ton and you swing at the first pitch!?!

I know LaRoche is a notorious slow starter, but my god does he look broken. I really hope the DH factor isn't getting to him.
