WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Another pathetic showing by our offense. I also want to say that Masset should be sent down. He has sucked it up so far this year and his stuff hasn't been as good as advertised. I don't like him as the long man either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf_soxfan Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I know the sky isnt exactly falling, but looking at the averages of the entire team, i am VERY concerned. It has clearly become epidemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 There are going to be a lot of these loser threads in the next week, so get used to it. With the Cubs throwing two lefties and Zamboner at us this weekend, we may as well not even show up at Wrigely to save ourselves the embarassment. The only way we win a game this next week is if KW pulls his head out of his ass and decides that some changes might necessary. Maybe he should consider prying his ass cheeks apart and parting with one of out "elite" pitching prospects if it gets us some offense in return. If Sweeney is the best that our minor leagues have to offer, the downslide has only just begun. I know the offense will come around. But to those that say that, I say "Excuses are like ass holes, we all have them, and they all stink." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Masset might need to be sent down, but other than that today's game had no long term redeeming qualities that we didn't know before it started. At least we came back last night and won the series, and the Yankees have 3 righties going against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 im not concerned... the Yankees aren't playing too hot right now..and yea the Cubs are throwing a couple of lefties out there but there bullpen has been giving up a plethora of runs lately. I say we will win 4 of 6. At least no worse than 3-3 vs the two teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I wasn't "dissing" him, though it could be seen that way. I am actually a fan of Sweeney and think he might be our all star rep. I was only suggesting that there is not much after Sweeney.

Â Sweeney would not be the top prospect of any team in major league baseball. He would not be the positional prospect of any other team in major league baseball. I doubt he would even be the top OF prospect of any other team in major league baseball. Â And that's not any disrespect. I think the Sox should be starting him everyday. He may turn out to be a decent major league ballplayer. But I think people have unrealistic expectations because he's the Sox best positional prospect (or at least in the top 2).

We are hitting in the low .220's, have won 6 of 9, and three straight series, and get mocked for it.  The rookie pitching imploded for one game. Eh, it happens.

greg775 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Where the Twins have pirahnas, we barely have guppies. Â That is the line of the year. If any Chicago writers are on here they will be clamoring to borrow your line. Great line. The Chicago Guppies vs. The Wrigley Yuppies next weekend.

The team with the .220 batting average?  It's possible Marquis walks in 4 or 5 runs so we can give our pitchers a chance, but not very likely.

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I was at "Massacre on the Marquis" last year at The Cell, what a great time. Anyways, maybe the team that did that to Marquis can remind him just how much of a fluke what he has done this year has been. I'm looking for SOME recipe to wake up the bats after all, maybe that is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
