Speaking of fist fights, I think one of the Sox players or coaches should start a fight with the Mariner moose.

First off, I never call Walker a great hitting coach because the Sox hit home runs. When you CONSTANTLY swing with the intention of driving the ball out and striking out like a madman, eventually you WILL hit something. I have never and will never call Walker a great hitting coach.

 

Second, if what you're saying is true, I would think then that "pro" and these other "pros" wouldn't constantly make this offense look like a little league offense. Just my opinion. I have no problem with YOUR opinion, but your defense of Walker makes it sound like a hitting coach should never be at fault. Just a bad choice of words you used. If no one needs "Greg f***ing Walker" to tell them how to hit, why are there hitting coaches in the first place?

 

 

Sorry, I just disagree with your perspective.

But in 2005 using fundamentals, everything was fine. The fundamentals overshadowed the fact that the Sox were still belting out homers at a sickening pace. I don't think Walker went to work today and told Dye- "Hey Jermaine, to get out of your slump, try to hit it off Qwest Field".

 

I'm not saying Walker is never at fault. But seriously, even if he was telling the veterans to hit homers (which he isn't) do you really think they're dumb enough to try and hit homers everytime they walk up? Come on. I'm sure some of them would say- "Kenny, fire this a**hole". Right?

finally they win a game after being behind in the 8th jesus fricken christ

Phew...

 

2 games back now

 

f*** Detroit, f*** the Twins

Great win. That last play was surreal, as the entire right side of the infield and Dye were walking towards the center of the diamond while the ball was in the air.

Man, we needed this one.

1-48 when trailing after 8th!

Now, that's one hell of a WHITE SOX WINNER!!!!

Bout time a 9th inning rally! Let's take the series tomorrow and run out of Seattle.

and after all that doom and gloom, sky is falling, season's over panics.... 2 games out of 1st.

The King is on the mound, but I'm a firm believer a homer like that can get a team going. I'm guessing Buehrle gets back to his normal form tomorrow. 3-2 Sox.

I had an eye on the game here and there, but I only fully started watching til the 8th.

Good point there, but it still makes little sense to me that this ENTIRE offense can slump like this time and time again, only going for homers. Walker has nothing to do with that at all? I don't buy that. And 2005 was just one year, really.

 

As far as that last question, given some of my views on this organization's management, I would easily say, "no." Sad but true.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that, then.

Big start from Danks tonight...

 

BP has just been getting worked lately

Even the best offensive teams go through slumps, we just don't follow them like we do the Sox. I would agree that it seems like they go in more slumps than a lot of teams, but I cannot prove it one way or the other.
