3.0 games back and going in the wrong direction.

 

I can hear the fat lady warming up.

Wrong on the way the 1-2-3 would happen, but it happened.

The Royals suck; Cleveland sucks. Barring a miracle both beat us 2-3 in the Cell.

Happy jay cutler day to cheer some of us up. Bring on football season!

What direction are we going? Towards .500, where we've been for 2 months now it seems? Being 3 out with our road trip is more like being 7 or 8 out. We're going to have to start playing a lot better baseball immediately if we want games in September to even matter.

Nice move by Jeff Cox to send TCQ on a shallow Bloomquist.

I really hate this team sometimes.

Tomorrow could be Contreras's most and possibly last start ever.

 

Odds are the Tigers will win with Verlander and we cannot fall 4.0 games back with our road games of hell on the way.

Could we get the Royals and O's to wear Yankee uniforms?

Some of us don't care that much about the Bears. Cutler doesn't make me feel better after this s*** game.

Ouch. Thanks, I'd somehow put that one out of my mind.

I will say it once again....this team shuts it down too easily.

 

The Royals suck.

 

You could say that for the last 3 or 4 years. It's a symptom of the Dyethomenerko middle of the order. These guys give away late at-bats constantly and have for years. It's become the character of the team. It's why we don't rally. And it's the reason, when people yammer about their statistical productivity, that they're not telling the whole story. These guys are a sleepy, slumpy mass of inertia.

That was horrible. A good 15 year old player could have thrown him out at the plate. Stupid. He had all the momentum on a shallow fly ball. s*** that play sucked!

Our entire coaching staff besides Cooper really is lucky to still have jobs (not counting Ozzie)

I can't wait to not have to worry about seeing Garcia and Contreras pitch for this team.

It'll be 2010 by that point.

 

We didn't promote Garcia to immediately demote or release him, regardless of his performance tonight, so I'd expect to see a healthy dose of both of those bums.

 

I don't understand how we can try starting Carrasco, Torres and Garcia, yet are seemingly obsessed with avoiding Hudson? Are we afraid he may succeed and present the White Sox with the decision of what to do with Garcia or Contreras? He can't be worst than either of those two.

I hate to say it but this season is about 3 or 4 days from being over. Seriously, it may not be a bad idea to put Peavy on the shelf until spring.

 

It's so frustrating because there is no reason the team should be as bad as they are. Major disappointment.

 

What do you think about giving Peavy one or two more starts in AAA and then calling it a season?

Not to start this again, but it's because Ozzie hates promoting rookies to take the place of veterans. KW had to force Beckham into the lineup and then there was the Poreda stuff.

I agree. Said the same thing, not as well, for the last couple years.

Just got back from work, didn't see much. The score isn't insane, so I ask... how was Freddy tonight? Did he have anything?

greg=heretic

We're not out of this until the math says we are. I'm not packing it in.

You're all ao f***ing pathetic I have no words. Thank god I'm going to school and don't have to be

tempted into gong to these f***ing games

You may be right. The Tigers have an easier schedule and we're merely a .500 team.

Don't let anyone fool you. He was not good against a very bad team. Our competition only gets better over the next few weeks. That translates to blow out losses with Freddy on the mound.
