Geez Matt, lol. Oh, and I had a pretty good gut feeling that Damon would tee off on Thornton, he always seems to struggle against anyone who wears or used to wear pinstripes

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 12:38 AM) firing larussa? I don't consider that 'recent'. Made it sound like something the last couple of years, I was like "What did I miss?"

what's Hawks recent failure?

any videos of his mechanics/delivery?

No plus power/OBP left-handed hitters in the first round that can drop to our slot?

puck control, accurate passing, aggression, all 3 were gone in philly, this is why they're up 3-0

Anybody with HBO, there's a fight tonight.. Cotto vs Foreman, with some decent undercards. Starts at 9:15pm, for those Boxing fans that lurk around here

greg you're flinging crap at a wall and hoping some of it sticks, in those posts peavy's NTC i believe carried over to the Sox, at least limited NTC and i'm sure he has full NTC protection for 2010, so he'd have to approve a trade now, tell me there's a team in baseball that will take Jake and his 6+ ERA at the salary he's making? your posts really make no sense sometimes man

lol

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) And why is Beckham swinging at the first pitch too? He could take 3 pitches and get called out on strikes, which way do you want your steak?

lol, Masterson loses 11 straight games? Who's the team he snaps his losing streak against?

another penalty against the hawks? i mean really?

lol, another penalty, why even watch this s***fest

When do we as fans say we've seen enough of KW as the GM? I mean, it's clearly not working with the way he's assembling this club. Does he need to be let go or resign, or do we need a tune up to the coaching staff? What a s***ty situation to be in

We need the money freed up because the won't be asses in the seats in 2011, the Cell is going to look like Kauffman Stadium next year, lol

who are the 5 people that said no? show yourselves! haha buehrle sucks, and seems to be getting old at 31. peavy is possibly hiding an injury (Dan Bernstein is convinced of this), danks can't seem to throw less than 100 pitches through 4 innings and floyd is absolute s*** meanwhile our offense can't hit consistantly, and hasn't at any point this year (our only 3-game win streak came at the hands of 2 walk-off wins, and a go-ahead run in the bottom of the 8th inning, against the mariners) after this debacle ends, heads have to roll. Ozzie needs to go, KW needs to probably go, promote Hahn, and perhaps promote Cora or hire Torre? idk keep beckham at 2nd, call up Morel in 2011, see if Paulie will sign a 1 year deal for about 7.5-8m with incentives, bring back Jones, KEEP RIOS obviously, hope for a rebound in the rotation/see if Peavy needs surgery BEFORE 2010 ends, that way its' possible that he could pitch by June/July in 2011. try to package Danks2+Flowers NOW for pitching (we need a f***ing left handed reliver with good stuff, with his head screwed on straight). Let AJ's 10/5 kick in, sign him to a 1 year contract for 2011. You know he doesn't want to play anywhere else, so it'd probably take about 4-5m for a 1 year contract, maybe with incentive bonuses Pierre (LF, ugh) AJ © Beckham (2B, rebounds imo) Rios (CF) Paulie (1B) Quentin (RF/DH) Teahen (RF/DH) Morel (3B) Ramirez (SS) I know some people are going to say "FIRE SALE FIRE SALE!", and perhaps that happens, but it would only happen if KW is most certainly fired, which we all know won't happen. My wanting KW and Ozzie gone are my own personal opinions, which I know don't stand a chance in hell of happening

Sox players are never really mentioned or, hell, noticed nationally. Even when Q was going apes*** in 2008... rarely heard a blurb about him until he fought his bat and the bat won. This isn't surprising, but it is unfortunate

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) You need a holiday beer to spread some cheer. A split with the Rays was fine. You can't expect to go in there and win the series. They have a much better team than ours and were playing at home. A split was GREAT. The problem is we have to win series after series against the teams in our division mostly and not play like crap against KC and Cleveland. This series was fine. Most of our series have sucked. wrong mentality bro It's got nothing to do with what we should EXPECT, but rather it's what the TEAM HAS TO DO, REGARDLESS They HAVE TO WIN, even against GREAT TEAMS, because that's the situation they have put themselves in due to losing a s***load of games this year, especially against TRASH like Cleveland and KC!

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) No, I agree with this. I'm one of the few who likes this roster, but I'll admit, it's time to put up or shut up. Splitting series is not acceptable if we expect to get back into the race. We need to start beating teams, even if they are teams we are not necessarily supposed to beat, if we do indeed want to get ourselves back in this race. A split to me was disappointing. yup, agree 100% sucks that it's the situation they are in now, but that's their own fault for sucking all year long

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 30, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) I think anyone before this series would take a split in a heartbeat I guess, perhaps people who don't have a realistic vision on what's needed to actually catch up to the twins might take a split A split w/ the Rays would mean something if we were tied with the Twins or maybe a couple games out, but we're flirting with 6-8 games back. When you get to that kind of deficit, you can't say "Well I'll take a split", because .500 isn't good enough when you're in that kind of hole. This team dug itself into an early grave and splitting 4 game series and going win/loss/win/loss/win/loss/loss/loss/win/loss all year isn't going to do s***. I think some people need to think more realistic about what kind of situation the Sox are in, they absolutely HAVE to play .600+ ball the rest of the year to, IMO, even stand a chance at winning the division flame away

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 29, 2010 -> 10:38 PM) Exactly. Most everybody who posted on this board said either one win this series or a split at best. No surprises. Never any surprises. Eminently predictable team. i predicted 2 at most, and i find it humorous that it was Freddy pitching a gem that got us our (probably only) 1 win, Danks hasn't been sharp the last 3 outings at all, and he throws way too many pitches, I hope his circulation problems aren't coming back

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2010 -> 09:31 PM) Soxnet.net game writeup. The White Sox are now 4-17 on the season in the game following a win. And lost our last 12 of 13 games after following a win I don't see this team "figuring it out" in June all of the sudden, they are who they are

West got fined? Good, the fat f***ing idiot! The day he's gone will be better for baseball Sorry, I don't mean to sound childish but, though it's rare, I get worked up over things like this
