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

Featured Replies

Someone in the Sox organization told Hawk to change the focus from the game to the future. Nice inning for Gobble

Where can I find Kalapse's handy contract info sheet?

Begging that everyone's in the last year of their deal?

So suddenly Gavin Floyd stinks and we have two good starters. Our third best is Bartolo Colon.

Many of you knew Gavin was a fluke. Our scouts and baseball people thought he was good enough to reward monetarily.

 

Lexi is hitting .212, Fields .231, Miller .214 and Lilly .164. Quentin is hurt and may keep getting hurt because opposing pitchers plunk him constantly.

Getz is down to .240.

We can't come close to beating a real team like Toronto.

It's gonna be a long summer.

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.

 

So you're basically saying a fluke year = successful year.

hey look, Frankensteiner is here. The Sox must be losing

getz was safe. some of these umps seriously need to be re-evaluated.

Any fire sale should start with Kenny being the first one out the door (not that it's going to happen).

We suck...you don't even have to break it down.

I told myself I was going to give this team until the end of May to declare this season a failure, but that's hard to do with the way they're playing. Trying to stay optimistic by saying its a rough patch, but they're really showing it's a rough season.

Yes...it was successful. You play the season to make the playoffs, and you go from there. Thus, it was successful...END OF STORY!

KW really should be on the phone with the Giants and Mets trying to get rid of Konerko. The Giants 1B situation is terrible, and Delgado's out for a long time.

Last year was a good, successful year. How can anybody argue that? I can see what they were trying to do this year, mix high paid vets with low paid young talent. The young talent can't hit and in the case of Floyd, pitch, while the vets haven't been miserable but are not producing a lot of runs.

Good post

Any chance we see Flowers up here as a platoon catcher with A.J. come August or next year?

Doubtful...he's really struggling right now in AA after a good start.

Will attendance take a hit this year or have the Sox sold so many season tix they'll be fine attendance wise?

watching kershaw throw a no no thru 6

 

way to go PK

Paulie is the only one who remembers how to hit.. even though he didn't last year.

Walk-up tickets will be awful. Again, KW will have no one to blame but himself if he doesn't have more than 50 cents to spend next year.
