May 17, 2009 game thread Sox @ Toronto 12:07 first pitch

Featured Replies

So when does Gavin get passed up on a start? I have a feeling it won't happen. He'll just suck all year while we "wait for him to turn it around."

Enjoy watching this train wreck of a team this year gents. I went and did something I've not done since it ever became available: cancelled MLB.tv subscription. It is that painful to me, watching this team play.

 

Gavin looks like he pulled the wool over KWs eyes long enough to get paid.

place your bets: will he score?

 

I say yes, he will. Very un-White-Sox-like.

It sucks that it's been so non-enjoyable this year. Probably have the boringest team of any in baseball this year. At least the Padres get to see Adrian Gonzalez and the Nationals had Zimmerman's hit streak and Dunn's power.

who thinks ginger kids picture is sporting a very trendy and sexxy leg? that is hot.

Alexei just did a hell of a job moving the runner to 3rd there. Good job Alexei.

Yeah, last time I put faith in this team.. stupid.

I remember people were calling last year a success (although I wasn't one to think this) because we had found a young core of Quentin, Alexei, Danks, & Floyd. In hindsight, would people say that today?

Fields is trying to hit the ball 500 ft.

Woo Jimmy Gobble! love that kid.

Yes, last year was a success. We took a team that had no business competing and beat our rivals for the AL Central crown. Last year has nothing to do with this year, which is shaping up to be a disaster in virtually every aspect. Not only are we losing, but our core group of players for the future are struggling to prove they can be counted on.

Fields is not taking pitches well at all.

i don't think kenny's going to wait for the deadline

lol

I'm hoping if the season continues to go down this path, KW will be willing to do a fire sale, which he wasn't willing to do in 07. I figure because of all the young talent we've accumulated already, KW might be much more inclined to than he was in 07 because we'd be putting actual prospects with potential on the field at least. Who's some of the potential trade bait we have?

 

Right now, we only really have Dye, Jenks, Colon, and Dotel. I don't see us getting rid of either Konerko or Buehrle as right now they are the faces of the franchise (and PK is the captain), and Thome and Linebrink aren't really tradeable with Thome only being able to play DH and Linebrink's contract. No reason to deal Carrasco, but I guess if some team offers a really good package for him. Betemit could be included in a trade as well since he has no spot on this team.

 

Oh well, at least the draft is close.

we kcus.

Hell of a play by Rolen. That would have been a big hit for Fields. Hawk is absolutely going off on this team's execution.

Can we have some other person in the organization make the trades when we unload our veterans? KW has a pretty terrible history of trading veterans for prospects.

he broke the first one he got after the war when he got drunk and went out dancing. :lolhitting

Floyd's now given up 6 runs or more in half of his starts.

i wish joey would've made gavin wear this one and stay out there and spare the pen.

Disgusting.. so I ask again, when does he go the route of Jose?

Quentin and Danks are still going to be a huge part of the White Sox future. They love Ramirez and even if he is what he now is, they only paid him a total of $4 million for 4 years. He's already earned his money last season. Floyd is troublesome, not only for what he's done his last 20 starts which makes it appear getting lit up isn't exactly temporary, but the cash they threw at him. Considering how they will always cry about not having any money, even the $14 million extensions to guys like this, is probably a huge mistake.

Gobble's on the mound...who cares. Richard and Carrasco will be going tomorrow.
