QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) LOL, yea, a 79 win season is the same as an 88 win season. This isn't 2009, check your calender if you don't believe me.

2009 version 2.0 How'd that work out for you, KenKen Twins wrap this up easily in 2011 if we're starting guys like Castro/Flowers, Quentin, and Viciedo

This team looks like s*** so far, they are allowing too much pressure on Turko i.e. bad defense

Bad game all around for chicago

Gardenhire gets horribly outmanaged in another post season series? Shocker.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) He'll be a New York Met next year I have this weird feeling it'll be in St. Louis

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 29, 2010 -> 09:46 AM) I think... I HOPE that Konerko comes back... unless Kenny can figure out how to get Adrian Gonzalez here (which is fantasy at this point). I'd be happy with AJ coming back for another year. I think the Sox should do whatever it takes to fill the holes in RF and the DH position. That is where money should be spent. Plus we need to get lucky and pick up a few relievers that are going to have good years next year. Danks or Floyd as part of a package would most likely land A-Gon, IMO. In that ballpark, Danks could put up some ridiculous numbers, and it's the NL on top of that

He is the perfect pitcher for their rotation, because he can locate all of his pitches for strikes. Something OUR staff has problems with: Being able to locate your secondary pitches when you HAVE to

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 28, 2010 -> 01:00 PM) Well, first of all, Carl Pavano is a free agent, so that's strike 1. I know, but I think they give him a new contract

Liriano, Duensing, Pavano, Slowey, Baker will be the best staff in the AL Central next year, and Don Cooper will still have his smugness and guys who can't throw strikes or get past the 6th inning. SIGN ME UP.

Keep telling yourselves Danks, Buehrle and Floyd are parts of a great starting rotation when Danks forgets how to throw strikes at the end of every season, Floyd always has a mid-season injury he tries to hide until it pushes him to miss whole starts, and our divisional rivals light up Buehrle every year like a Christmas tree I don't see the results from this rotation to warrant calling them great, or LOL...last off-season, 'top 3 in baseball'

Until this organization can figure out how to beat AL central teams, they are dogs*** and won't win a damn thing

Quentin's swing is so f***ed up right now His upper body is flying open so much before the bat even starts to move an inch, it's an ugly swing

How can anybody seriously want this monkey as the Sox mgr any longer? And I mean no disrespect to monkeys

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 11:49 PM) Can we seriously f***ing drop this? It's pointless bickering. Hurt, IMO, is embarassing himself with his internet toughguy tirade. Let it go dude... Just my $.02

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 03:15 PM) So if the pitching staff and next year's new offensive pieces lead us to a title in 2011, do you still want Ozzie gone? Would we have won despite Ozzie? I'm not willing to risk that because a new manager depending on who it is, could turn this team around immediately whereas with this coaching staff what you've seen over the last five years is enough of a sample size to know what you'll get.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) Another thing about ego. KW spends a whole article talking about going to the Raiders. His ego is enormous as well. Ozzie should win this battle. Game, set, match, Ozzie. Ozzie already lost the battle. Read the article more carefully and what Kenny is saying. The Score just explained for a good ten minutes or more on how Ozzie's over aggressive stance on a new contract has backfired and Kenny AND Jerry are prepared to let him walk

My guess is Ozzie will not return as the sox manager after his contract expires, with a decent chance of him not coaching this team in 2011 And this makes me really happy, he can take cooper with him

lol

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 12:27 PM) Then again I never trust the credibility of any article that uses the words "unnamed sources". Well, it was an unnamed Sox player. And also, what do you want Cowley to report, Brent Lillibridge told me? He's not gonna throw a player under the bus like that

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) Wow, don't let someone derail a thread calling 2005 a fluke. I thought Mike North was the only idiot to believe that. Now there are two. Teams change rosters so much that repeats are getting non existent. yeah WS repeats are rare, but we aren't even getting playoff repeats bro. this organization is pathetic right now, there's no euphemisms you can use

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Cowley was on the score this morning and was told by an unnamed Sox player that Kenny and Ozzie had another fight at the end of last month, and at one point Kenny told Ozzie "You're done."

why do players like Harrell and Torres have jobs? lol are these the last remnants of the Schaefer regime? because they're just absolute s***

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 09:55 AM) lol. greg went postal. Ain't nobody banning you. Calm down. And when I sober up I'll explain to you why I think that year was a fluke. here's a guess: because the team was just 'ok' prior to 05, and 'ok' to 'bad' afterwards people want their team to have a sustained stretch of dominance after winning a world series, and if they don't, they write it off as a fluke year was 2005 a fluke? it depends on how you look at it, and what you consider a fluke the team IN 2005, was amazing, and if you want to just look AT 2005 only, then that year was elite in every way imaginable i try not to draw comparisons to 2005 from other years because then you start seeing things like Jordan4life

hitting coaches matter. ask rudy jaramillo, oh wait.
