Congrats to this team for holding on to 1st place for so long with such a red hot team on it's trail. Hopefully this is a very short thread.

I thought for sure whitesoxbrian would start this.

IF we keep playing the way we've played since the ASB, it will be the longest thread of the year.

Just to get it out of the way -- of courz Fathom starts this11 thred !!!

 

Although there's nothing we should be congratulating this team about. This last week has been embarrassing to watch.

I thought for sure whitesoxbrian would start this.

Right size, wrong shape. And a minute too late.

No more Richard. I figured we'd crap on ourselves for this game because of Greinke pitching for them and Richard posting for us. Yesterday I expected to win. Our pitching has been s***ty.

Also, just to get it out of the way -- why does this thread need to exist; isn't there enough negativity?! We should be able to create White Sox winner threads and first place threads, but nothing else!

Here's the reason I started this...I think it would be a good idea to put Twins related stuff into this thread. The AL Central thread has very few posts on a weekly basis.

Hopefully the Sox will spend all of Monday thinking about how much 2nd place sucks, and come out with some fire on Tuesday.

If the powers that be don't think we should put Twins related stuff in this post, they can feel free to delete this thread. I went out of my way to make my initial post as positive as can be.

Well, I'm going to ignore your supposed reason (which is crap) and just post my negative remarks in here if that's ok.

Be honest Flash, do you think I would actually sugarcoat stuff?

So you started a thread about the Twins and called it "Your second place Chicago White Sox"?

Screw it, just delete the thread if people have such a problem with it. Sorry for the confusion about my motives.

I don't believe you would. But you would come up with an alternate reason for posting negativity as to to appease the cult of positive soxtalk members.

 

This is laughable. Ya'll do what you want, but there were a hell of a lot of you creaming your pants to start this thread.

 

Have fun, and enjoy it!

I don't have any problems with a negative thread. But I think you're just wussing out.

The white sox play 16 of the next 19 at home!!!!

 

this thread will not last long

^^^^^^^

If I wanted it to be a perennial loser thread, I just would have called it "the official White Sox suck and Ozzie needs to be fired thread"

Screw it, just delete the thread if people have such a problem with it. Sorry for the confusion about my motives.

Whoa, now. Stand by your guns. You should just admit you started this thread for a place to post negative comments. Why give people the satisfaction of deleting this thread? It'll be true in about an inning.

 

You should know by now there are people who criticize everything you say. Earlier in this thread I was just attempting to get out their arguments so we can begin commenting on the nature of this ballcub (which, as of recently, is a large ball of sucktitude)

Sox are just 5-5 at home in their last 10. That's starting right around the time our pitching went to s***. We will play better than what is happening now but will it be enough?

People do sure seem to get a lot pissier about my comments when the Sox are losing.

You are right in the sucktitude. I guess my only complaint for a lot of people around here (and definiterly not fathom, at lease he's consistent, ) is that they aren't around until this kind of stuff happens, then we see them like crazy. I don't know why that has to be, but as I said before, ya'll have fun. I just hope it's a short lived, eye opening view from below.

Ha, yeah they do. Which is why this thread may be a blend of negativity/ posters coming in just to say this thread is your dream.
