I'm done caring. There's a quality major league team in Minnesota going to the playoffs this year. And there's a mismatched bunch of veterans led by an idiot manager, playing bad baseball on the south side of Chicago. When Reinsdorf allows things to be fixed, I'll start caring again.

and if they win tomorrow they take the series from the best team in the AL right now

Yeah it's too much to ask that they don't get blown out by 8 or 9 runs tonight.

 

This team HAS to be able to keep the opponent from piling runs on us, and keep the game close. We don't have the type of offense to come back from huge deficits like this. You can turn this game off now btw, it's over.

I wouldn't say I don't care. My expectations were lowered so so much after our awful start that I'm not getting worked up at all.

I care, but I don't believe is what I'm saying.

White Sox Baseball in 2010 has followed the same formula: mediocre starting pitching and seemingly every other game, we have 9 straight hitters retired. 6 games out this early is awful, and there's really not much that can be done. However, AJP should not be batting 5th. He should be batting 8th or 9th.

And it won't mean anything. This team is going to be a .500 team at best, and that's unacceptabole for their payroll. Meanwhile, the Twins are winning every series, beating the bad teams in the division. Quality GM, manager, lineup, rotation, bullpen, and bench. They are the class of the division, and that's a fact. It's sad to say, but it's true.

Our starting staff has the 11th best ERA in the league. And that was before this game.

If Liriano is this good for the Twins, the Twins are going to win 100 games.

Don Cooper said on the pregame they've been great in all but 3 games.

We have one hit today, and that was a slap single by Pierre. It doesn't matter who hit where, we'd still have one hit and no runs.

He should be batting 13th. 5 WSox regulars have under 4 RBI this year.

The thing is someone is going to look at Mark's statline and think he pitched badly tonight.

Good teams take advantage of walks and bloops. I'd love to have some bloops right about now.

Teahen apparently doesn't like pitches over the plate.

So who the f*** are the Twins gonna lose after this year? Anybody? Is there anybody that they can't afford?

He didn't? When you don't strike hitters out, you run the risk of bloopers. We've seen dozens of games like this from Buehrle, and we'll continue to see them. He is what he is. Against good teams, he often struggles.

White Sox defense has to improve if they are going with this NL style. Buehrle also has to pitch over mistakes, something he's really had trouble doing the past couple of seasons, but tonight it was a bunch of bloops and dinks.

It would have been a whole different story if the golden boy called a ball.

One hit through 5. White Sox baseball!

They had to get Davis early when he couldn't find the plate. NOw they have to wait for him to hit his pitch count.

And not a single f***ing change will be made until 60 games in, it seems.

Tampa has a pretty damn good pen with Soriano anchoring them. They're the best team in the AL, IMO.

Unless you want to see Jordan Danks, there is nothing they can do now.

What a waste of a good bullpen this year. They all keep it up we could maybe unload some of these guys for draft picks before the deadline.
