Why in the name of all that is holy is Sandy Alomar JR batting in this game. We have 3 count them 3 catchers Ozzie.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

come on Iguchi, just a base hit somewhere.

Why not use Gload here?

Ugh. Nasty.

So this year will be another year where we will pick a pitcher who can barely break a plane of glass with his fastball, and they will pick up some stud who will be throwing 97 and destroying us for the next 4 years.

Either that, or they'll trade an expendable player to another ballclub for an absolute pillage of quality minor league pitchers.

 

Where's our Justin Duscherer?

and we got rid of frank thomas for THOME??

duchserer makes us look like a bunch of fools

I still don't understand why the Sox didn't claim Stairs. I'm no fan of his, and I think he isn't that great, but if he helps Detroit win 1 game, KW dropped the ball. He isn't making that much and you would only of had to pay him for 2 weeks. It would have been worth having him ride pine, and maybe pinch hit once or twice.

Why not use Gload here?

 

After all his other great moves, my guess is Ozzie is a little gun shy.

Can someone teach one of our hitters how to hit a f***ing curveball.

 

Ryan hits the ball to left field, god bless him.

and we got rid of frank thomas for THOME??

 

I didn't here you complaining a month ago...

Lifeless team.

and we got rid of frank thomas for THOME??

Honestly...I think we'd have an even worse record with Frank on this team instead of Thome. We'd have a few more hits right now, but Thome carried us for the first 2 months of the season.

This should be our marketing video for the 2006 Whitesox team.

 

We know what Thome has done for the Sox. We have no idea how Frank would have fared had he stayed with the Sox. None. Every circumstance would have been different. He may have 50 homers, he may have fouled a ball off his foot in April and been done.

Our #1 off-season priority: get Thome healthy. Our #2 priority: make sure Thome isn't your best player next season (I mean, I heard it's great though that we're so dependent on a 36 yr old slugger).

bring in the gload/mack/pods outfield!!!

The reason the Sox aren't going to win today is because Pods doesn't have a hit.

well this is it. this last inning is the defining moment of the year. seriously.

At least Michigan is beating the s*** out of ND today, or the day would be even worse.

Our #1 off-season priority: get Thome healthy. Our #2 priority: make sure Thome isn't your best player next season (I mean, I heard it's great though that we're so dependent on a 36 yr old slugger).

Jim Thome isn't our best player this season.

 

Off season priority #1 (And the only offseason priority): Fix the pitching staff at any cost.

 

Off season priority 2: Dump Rob Mackowiak, so that Ozzie can never play him in CF again.

Our #1 off-season priority: get Thome healthy. Our #2 priority: make sure Thome isn't your best player next season (I mean, I heard it's great though that we're so dependent on a 36 yr old slugger).

 

I think the #1 priority should be to fix the pitching staff. I'd think about dumping 2 starters maybe 3. Even if you take a little step back next season, it could set you up for a long time.

I don't know why I have hope for this team to make the playoffs when it's obviouslthey don't deserve to.

These are bad losses but you guys were kidding yourselves if you really believed the Sox could win 2 of 3 (or 3 of 4) in each of these last series, especially against such quality teams. Oakland is a good team and there's no sense expecting winning a series against them in Oakland. Same goes for series against series against the Twins, Tigers, and even the Indians.

 

People should have been extremely pissed off over our f***ing pathetic efforts against KC, Tampa, and a depleted Boston team. But they were too busy planning out how many games we'll win against team X coming up on the schedule.

Thome looks like a fool at bat.
