I have a better chance of playing outfield with the WS and I have an artificial knee and hip

Like I wrote on a previous thread...the Sox need another starter.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 08:15 AM) Why does this team need another starter? I count 6. They absolutely need a closer. I'm not sure what to do about RF and 3b myself...3b at least has people on the way up, RF has a talented guy who seemingly has forgotten how to hit. So, you are counting on "Bad Back" Garcia and "Detached Latissimus" Peavy??? Not only that, Floyd was bad this year and Danks inconsistent, while Buehrle was very average... Sound strategy

I want to see big changes with this team. At the very least we need a 3rd baseman, a right fielder, a closer, a DH, another starter...KW has his hands full with this team. Anyone that thinks this current WS team can compete with the AL elite is dreaming.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 04:01 PM) Turn back to? Thats exactly when they have been doing the last 3 years for the most part. This is one of the more talent-laden major league teams the Sox have had as far as young players and the best minor league system they have had in quite awhile. Not really sure what you mean. Maybe you meant you are frustrated and needed something to possibly point to? Not many home grown players in the line up tonight. I want kids drafted and taught to play baseball the correct way...bunting, fielding, situational hitting, running bases. It's difficult to teach castoffs the "White Sox Way" when they bring baggage with them. Individual talent exists but the players need to become a team, doing whats right when its required. If you are happy with the State of the White Sox , I'm happy for you. I want more.

QUOTE (daggins @ Sep 14, 2010 -> 10:59 PM) Trust me, you don't want the Sox to win 60 games next year. That's not a given...also young players need to develop and get better. The WS have a decent nucleus of Alexei, Beckham, Rios, Danks, Floyd, Peavy, Sale and others. I say fill in with the young kids and quit bringing in washed up vets in hopes of catching lightning in a bottle.

The WS had better turn back to drafting, developing and promoting. This half-assed piecemeal approach is not working. It's time to bring up the young guys and build for the future. I want Morel, Flowers, Jordan Danks, Jared Mitchell and Viciedo playing full time next year.

Ron Gardenhire figured a way to get the most from good old #25. JT has 23 dingers and everyone seemingly critical to our chances (see Twins 1-0 win Saturday night). Thats OK we got Mark Kotsay...

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 07:47 PM) ....Sale will probably start in AAA. Why???

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 07:42 PM) He is going to be expensive through arbitration, and we have potentially 7 starters next year (if you include Freddy). Danks better get it together for the stretch run. With is inconsistent control, I don't see him deserving major dollars...perhaps he gets traded this winter???

Where would this team be without good old #33??? We are very lucky to have Kenny Williams running the show.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 05:11 PM) manny told ozzie wherever you need me whatever you need basically (not an exact quote) so ozzie decides to bench him....HA Maybe OG won't play him till he cuts his hair???

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 10:23 PM) If we get Manny, it's lights out for Kotsay or Jones. The questiion is, which one? Forget Manny...we need a pitcher

Why is Jones on the WS roster with a pathetic .207 BA and no sign of trying to get better...unless you consider swinging from the heels an honest effort to improve. The WS need clutch hits desperately and Jones' approach at the plate will produce very few.

Poor Ozzie...he's all upset...how the f*** does he think we feel watching these bubbleheads day after day???? Ozzie is Upset

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:06 PM) Losing 2 of 3 to Kansas s***ty is horrid! It is horrid but not unexpected. I mentioned my fears right after the victory over the Twins. I said it before and I'll say it again...start dumping salary. I'd rather watch a bunch of hungry kids give maximum effort rather than this somnambulent bunch of losers.

break up the sox...we are literally...on a roll

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 21, 2010 -> 09:51 PM) Man Gregg will be crying because you are talking about how fat Bobby is instead of how "Great" he is..... For the record...I didn't say the word F-A-T...I know that's taboo on some message boards

Somebody turn up Frank's microphone for game 2

Looks like Jenks has gained 50 lbs since April.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) HUGE lift - on to KC to beat their AAA squad. The WS don't fare well against bad teams (see Orioles and Cleveland)....this KC series is pivotal!

I guess the best way to say it is: "Wait til next year!" A good start would be to send OG on his way so he can replace Bobby Cox. I'm tired of his act.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 12:00 AM) Did you know we were in serious trouble when we won 25 of 30 games? No, I was extremely impressed and if the WS were streaking now, I'd be equally impressed. Alas, they are dispalying major suckage which is a bad thing at this point in the season.

Things are looking grim. A loss tomorrow and I say pull the plug on this season and start dumping salary while there are still pennant races with anxious buyers. Remember, this is a team that lost 3 of 4 to the Orioles. Right then and there I knew we were in serious trouble.

QUOTE (Hollywood_AU @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) I think there's a 50/50 chance that the season is over on Thursday I fear that you are correct. It's strange how the Sox tanked right after the trading deadline passed. KW should have followed his instincts and made a big move. Minnesota is far and away a better run franchise, from the front office to the field and with the extra cash they are raking in from the increased attendance, the Sox will be hard pressed to compete going forward. I give the WS players credit...they turned things around but now they've really hit the wall. Too bad...
