Personally, I have to go back to the mid 90's the last time I was this disgusted, appalled, ashamed, or whatever word you to use, with a White Sox team. Even in recent years, save 2005, when we came up short, the games were still fun and entertaining. I know we've been saying it for a while now. But after getting swept by the Cubs, something MASSIVE has to happen. Enough is enough. No waiting for guys to 'turn it around.' No waiting for injured players to come back. That's it. Let's all pray the demolition starts Monday. God I'm so ashamed. Is this what Cub fans go through every year? I have a new respect for them.

Now we wait with cautious optimism.

I hope hear something sometime tonight, let's not wait til Monday. If 2 runs in 27 innings against the Cubs of all teams doesn't get Walker fired, nothing will.

I wonder why no players have asked to be traded from this toilet of a team.

This is the worst White Sox team I have seen in my lifetime.

Looks like it will be 05 Series DVDs and National League baseball the rest of the summer for me.

Jermaine Dye said he didn't care what team he played for....that's as close to seeing someone say they don't mind getting traded as you'll ever see. This isn't the NBA.

There's no question. It can never possibly be as bad as it is this year, even if you brought back everyone from this year. It's just a spiraling nightmare that gets worse, even when you think it can't.

Players have asked to be traded. Manny never was traded. Paul Molitor asked to be traded to a contender. Knoblauch did it to the Twinks. Need I go on?

my must go list:

 

Mackowiak

 

Uribe

 

Gonzalez

 

Dye

 

Anderson

 

MacDougal

 

Thornton

 

Masset

 

Thome

 

Cintron

 

Bukvich.

 

Walker

You know when the announcer starts a sentence, and you imagine the conclusion before he says it? When Hawk said, "This season", I immediately imagined the end of the sentence being "is ova."

 

I haven't been too worked up with the last few series, but I expected at least one win here. It's not very surprising -- just a little heavier, a little more finality, a little more somber. As bad as I thought they were, I managed to overestimate them. Putrid.

You're f***ing kidding right?

Overreaching? I keep Masset, Thome, Thornton to start. and you can add Joey Cora to your fired list for the hell of it.

Ozzie in a suit during the PC...at least he looks healthier than he did a few days ago.

Dressed for a funeral?

Winna!

Wait until we start playing the Red Sox, Twins, Tigers, Indians, and Yankees. We'll really see how much worse this team is then.

tough to be much worse than 5-22.

 

scores will be more lopsided, but we can't lose at a much more consistent rate.

 

This -- 5-22 -- is like the 62 Mets.

It's call-up time!

Overreaching? I keep Masset

WHY? What has this kid ever done at any level (outside of 20 innings in the Mexican League) to warrant the rope that you people give him?

 

His minor league numbers are mediocre to bad. He was put on Waivers in the middle of the '05 season about the same time we (re)claimed Ryan Wing. We found room for Wing, but not Masset. Then 18-20 months later, despite more mediocre-to-s***ty production, Masset is viewed by many (for reasons unknown) as a future starter and a centerpiece to the future of the club.

 

Masset sucks. just like the other guys we've claimed since Jenks; Sierra, Wing, Tucker, all garbage.

So....how many teams are going to give us a ton for him then?

They need to send him to the minors to see if he can become a starter. It's pathetic he's been on the major league roster as long as he has been.

From KW's quotes, it appears nothing is happening today. I suspect it is a lot of tough talk followed by no action.

 

Story

I grew up in Pittsburgh and was a die hard Pirates fan until '93/'94 when I lost interest in baseball. Aside from 1991 and 1992 when they were a hell of a team, I was used to disappointment. Now being a White Sox fan, I am appalled by the way this team is playing. So much talent is being wasted because of poor management and a lack of trying. I think I'm going to start following the Pirates again. At least they are supposed to suck.
