Sox play like s*** on weekend home games for the last 5 years especially when crowd is bigger, a lot of those fans are not coming back and I do not blame them.

At least we have a ballpark ranked 29th out of 30 in this week's Yahoo story. (I do realize most people on Soxtalk and Sox fans overall do like the Cell, just sayin).

What is this Jason guy saying?

Well, right now he's talking about painting Steve Stone's face.

You can thank JR and the extra row of suites he had to have to make upper deck so bad, when builders told him not a good idea at the time.

I actually like the Upper Deck. It's not 29th. That's a joke.

Yes, but there are those who would tell you that it's not that bad baseball you are referencing that will keep the fans from coming back. That's not the problem at all to hear others tell it. They'll tell you it's those fans making up excuses about the color of the seats, or ticket prices, or parking issues, or whatever. That's why they'll stay away, and not the bad baseball.

Fulmer's in! Let's run the score up even more!

Tommy Kahnle with that rock solid 5.5 K/9 and 11.1 BB/9, another top notch trade from Rick Hahn

I like the Cell, but it's just so plain looking. I like almost all of the new ones built after better.

Whoever thought that Navarro and Shuck were major league capable needs to have their heads examined.

Abreu with another garbage time HR.

Orioles Fans on the ESPS Gamecast blog having a real good laugh over this one….There are some that are actually discounting the offense performance today because "after all it's only James Shields"

 

I hope JR, Hahn and Kenny are at the Cell witnessing this today…

 

And congrats on being the laughingstock of MLB..

I've had enough of the Benetti Comedy Hours.

Ichiro getting a start today. Needs two for 3000.

 

Could come next weekend vs the Sox.

He only needs 1.

Typical White Sox game. Forget about the Shields performance. I want to know how many games the sox have had where they have 4-6 hits per game with 0-2 runs, or maybe they have 10-12 hits, but still have 0-2 runs. Give me a break. Wash, rinse, repeat. Why can't Abreu hit like this when it actually matters? Ya know, with risp actually getting a hit rather than striking out, popping out or rolling over a ground ball? This kind of baseball is just draining, and the sad thing is its so damn predictable.

My bad. He'll get it today.

Ynoa's ERA has really been dropping lately.

  • Author

And so another worthless game is down the drain.

At this rate Shields is going to LOSE 20 games this year. Great pickup Rick!

 

And how about that Albers and Kahnle combo? Sox traded a kid who looks like he's got a real chance for that stiff Kahnle who throws 100, problem is he can't find the plate.

Check out the K/9 and BB/9. Not good.

The walk rate sucks but 9.8 k/9 i.

8.3 actually. And looks worse as K%. But I was talking more about K:BB.

Abreu's son was at the game today, and it was the first time Abreu saw him since the winter when he was back in Cuba. That was the first time he saw him in 3 years. 3 hits today, has been hot lately. Maybe a reason for his decline this season.

Triple for Ichiro. 3000.
