fathom Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 QUOTE(WilliamTell @ May 29, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) I just want to see the White Sox put a 5 spot up sometime, this is just pissing me off. Hard to have a consistent rally when there's SO many easy outs in your lineup. Also, our inability to draw a walk really kills us in rallies.

southsideirish71 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 29, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) They are not better than us...almost 1 through 9 we have better players. Aside from Torii Hunter and maybe Joe Mauer, can you name a guy who they have who is a better player at their position than the guy we have? At least on paper, in terms of career numbers, we have better players at almost every position. Our guys are just hugely underperforming. It's absolutely ridiculous. These guys should be so much better than they are but it seems like they just won't snap out of it. Morneau is better than PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only positions I feel like we're better than the Twins are 2nd base and SS. Cuddyer has looked better than Crede this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ May 29, 2005 -> 01:15 PM) I think he meant that no one really is showing signs. I do like the way Dye is swinging the bat right now. Clearly, our biggest offensive problem is Crede. The person I'm worried about is Pods (sorry Rowand44). So much of our offense has been based on him getting on base, and he seems to not be reaching base nearly as much as he was during our great stretch. Paulie looked before today like he was starting to snap out of it...like .300 over his last few games...Dead keeps having 1 good game followed by 4 bad games...Uribe had 2 hits today but nothing spectacular, and Pods has been slowing down. Not overall a very good set of signs. Man I can't wait to have #35 back in this lineup tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop putting on the cubby blue glasses and just saying the whitesox are great rah rah rah. We have 7 out of 9 hitters that are sub 260. If our pitching doesnt pitch like cy young we dont win games.

And for the people saying we suck we are palying the hottest team in baseball right now! just have some patience Remember when we were the hottest team in baseball, and everyone said that we weren't allowed to complain about anything? All of us on here are Sox fans, I can guarantee you that. However, it's painfully obvious that our current lineup is not good enough to win the division over the long haul. That's our biggest concern. f***, you don't even see us trashing Garland that bad for having a terrible inning and throwing a meatball with 2 strikes. Could you imagine how bad he would have been bashed last year if he did the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I would take Lew Ford over Everett and possibly Frank, Morneau over PK, Stewart over Pods, Jones over Dye, Cuddyer over Crede, their plantoon over Uribe, Mauer over A.J. Santana over Buerhle, Radke over Garland, Silva over Garcia, Mays over El-Duque and only Contreras over Lohse. Not to mention their entire bullpen over ours with the lone exception of Hermy.
