QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) Did you guys see Marcum got lit up today? As expected. Sox need a new offensive philosophy obviously, as well as better players. It's ventura. You could bring in Mike Trout and he would start sucking under this group of incompetent zombies.

Robin really said all the right things on the plane last night. He must have also saw some things on film to get this offense started.. Bunch of guys walking with their heads down to the bench. Just a complete failure. Shut out by a guy with a 6.91 era.

heart of the lineup coming up! I bet them Blue Jays is nervous!

You could out a 10 year old out there and I don't think these mental midgets could come up with a game plan to beat him.. including the fraud of a manager.... Robin was always one of my favorites but if he doesn't resign its going to be bad.

Abreu and Laroche Embarassing.

Adam LaRoche please for the love of god stop walking around slow like your cool after out strike out... Alexi please sit your arse on the bench... God I hate these guys... why do I watch this.

Ventura's trademark. Dumb undisciplined players that smile afterwards.

Swing Swing Swing Swing at every pitch... This is the white sox offensive philosophy I guess the past 5 plus years.... and boy is it a Sh*tty one

I've never seen a pattern of hitting over the past 5 years of more of such unprofessional hitting... There needs to be a come to jesus meeting about this or things will never change. Stop swinging at EVERY GD PITCH.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 24, 2015 -> 02:29 PM) My bad. Avi does stink out there. Let's face it, the Sox are destined for last in the Central. Like Harry says, please trade everybody soon. Trading the manager would be the start... I'm sorry but I could tell after the year where we had to win one game to win the playoffs and we couldn't that Ventura didn't have "It" Now we go out and spend money and his nice guy lethargy still clings to this bunch of losers. It's obvious.

Will Hawk shut the F*** up.... yeah our defense isn't great. But were LAST IN BASEBALL IN RUNS Sometimes I swear Hawk you are an utter dumba***

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 23, 2015 -> 05:54 PM) Flowers is beyond pathetic. And f*** you Ventura for actually letting a guy who struggles to make contact bat in a situation where even a bloop single would tie the game. Why the f*** is Bonifacio on this team if he's not going to be used as a pinch hitter late in games against LHP? 3 runs yet again...

Ventura = nice guy I don't blame it all on him by any means. But he doesn't have it... his teams play lethargic and more often then not he fails strategically.

Abreu is a big part of why this team can't score runs...

The Fastball/change up Sale is not 1/2 as good as the one with the silder.. Who ever told him to change to this needs to be kicked in the nads.

offense still putrid... we play in a phone booth and we cant hit home runs.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) Wow you have to pay for the finder on B-Ref? I was going to run a search for it. I'm sure he's right there and could possibly be the worst qualified FIP and xFIP. He's certainly close to the bottom in ERA and ERA+ as well. Danks wasn't great... but no winning many games with this offense.

1. No power. 2. No walks. 3. Strike out a lot... 4. don't steal bases.. Quite a successful formula....

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 13, 2015 -> 10:20 PM) I hate Sox at Oakland.................nothing ever goes right. DR needs to learn his curve ball is a lot more deadly than his 91 mph fastball.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ May 11, 2015 -> 11:05 PM) I didn't then, and I certainly don't now with Semien playing like an all-star. Fair enough... however out of the countless people I talked to all of them talked about the Shark deal and how the White Sox now had a elite starting staff... I didn't encounter one person who thought it was a bad deal.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ May 11, 2015 -> 10:29 PM) I'm done with this franchise until Reinsdorf dies. Busted organizational philosophy that starts at the tippity top, and is executed by long-time buffoon KW. The trade of Semien for "Shark" is the perfect illustration of everything that is wrong with the franchise (along with the endless run of dips*** managers): Zero interest in developing young talent internally, zero appreciation for those few prospects with real "baseball" skills, and a desperate, needy affinity to go "All In" and mortgage the future when everyone else in the world knows you don't have a prayer. The Sox should just move to Quebec already. Getting Shark wasn't a dumb move... another mediocre infielder isn't really that big of a deal... I'm going to wait on Semien until I make any final conclusions - one good month doesn't make a career. No one knew that Shark would suck so bad... everyone on earth thought it was a great deal.

QUOTE (joegraz @ May 11, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) Cooper was the second coming of Christ as he "fixed" all of those cast-offs over the years. Conversely, he must suck now. Therefore, he sucks. I don think its Cooper's fault this team is 2-12 on the road... It's glaringly obvious that this team lacks someone to get them mentally in the right place. 2-12 on the road is mental. That goes on the coaching staff - but mostly its Ventura.

Robin I love ya - hell of a guy. But please if you bleed for this team step down because this just isn't your thing.

Batting Abreu 4th has now helped put him in a slump. Just nice all around.

I like Robin but if this doesn't turn around like ... in a week he needs to go. We can't just let this season and the money we spent go down the drain.
