Ironic that Dye makes an out on a play he would be 20 feet away from.

Konerko .198

Dye .197

 

f***ing joke our hitting instructor has a job.

oh my f***ing god dye, seriously.

Greinke needs a beard, but he probally can't grow one yet.

god i miss thome soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

Grienke is pwning us

Holy s*** does this offense suck. Greinke's going to finish off this game.

wow

People are calling him a god and all this garbage. It just bothers me when Scott Podsednik was hitting .300 and people value him like a piece of s*** and Sweeney has played like an average Major League hitter and everyone is gaga over him.

 

That comparison is totally apt. One is a 32 (?) year old, one (maybe zero now?) tool player who hasn't been a good baseball player since pre-ASB 2005. The other is a 22 year old who has been the best hitter on the Sox besides Jim Thome.

 

Average? Sweeney has been average? Offense all around the league has been down, and you're going to call Sweeney's .875 OPS, plus baserunning and plus defense average?

 

Go ahead, keep posting, you're giving me some good laughs on a dysmal night.

Aren't players in their free agent year supposed to do good? I hate this f***ing offense so much. KW deserves so much blame for not upgrading the crap we saw all during the 2nd half last year. At least we have more AAAA pitchers.

Is this team ever going to break out of this funk at the plate? They look completely clueless up there. Its mind boggling

I feel a little better after looking at Alex Gordon's stats. .164 with 37 strikeouts in 110 at bats. At least he walks (has 13), but damn, the Royals rushed him. Those are sub Anderson numbers. Imagine how much we would hate Gordon on this board?

This is the worst I have seen a whitesox offense since the white flag trade years.

Grienke's numbers coming in: 5.80 ERA, 1.79 WHIP

So far after this game: 5.35 ERA, 1.68 WHIP

He has 8 HBP, which is why his OBP hovers around .300.

 

Thome 25 walks in 20 something games

Rest of team 90 walks in 32 games

 

The Royals tried to hand us four wins in a row. I guess it's baseball karma that we hand back at least one of those four games.

 

I think Bell will go to Soria, but I would seriously consider leaving Greinke in to close it out.

Was there ever any doubt as soon as we saw him warming up in the pen?

People are hitting over 300 against him. Meanwhile, we are getting pitch by pitch radar gun reports of how hard Grienke is throwing by Hawk.

Hell we have people on this board bashing our rookies who reach base every PA including hitting a homer.

I like that the Royals rushed him. He had nothing left to accomplish in the minors. They know they're not competing for the title this year, so why not get him experience.

There goes Hawk slobbering all over grindErstads knob again. Get the f*** over it already, he is an average to below average, 1 tool player.

Hawk really is Grandma Erstad.

when was the last game we got 10+ hits?

I'm still holding out hope that was sarcasm.

3 f***ing funs against the toliet of pitching.

I wasn't comparing Podsednik to Sweeney. I was just saying Podsednik was putting up good numbers, .303 average, .378 on base, .833 ops. I don't mean to compare the players in any aspect, but Podsednik was putting up damn near the same numbers (better on base and average, lower OPS as you would expect from a leadoff guy). My only problem is people will love or hate who they want.

 

Also, keep treating me like a total piece of s*** and acting like you are never wrong about baseball. I really appreciate getting responses like you are making me laugh and that was the dumbest thing said on this board (the 2nd one wasn't you). I'm just stating an opinion and making observations.
