JohnCangelosi Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 And why don't our righties just stand on top of the plate and make this clown pitch inside???? We're just pulling off everything, this is a complete joke, WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Bosley Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 QUOTE (chisoxt @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 07:43 PM) This is the problem when you totally disregard the farm system...you have to grossly overpay (in free agent money and trades) for REPLACEMENT LEVEL talent. I also do not like how we tend to overpay for guys whose better years are behind them (See Jake Peavy). This has been a good season, but I for one would like to see Kenny 'promoted' next year. After all of the drama between Williams and Ozzie this season, along with the fact that all-time Reinsdorf favorite Tony LaRussa will be looking for a job this off-season AND is interested in trying his hand at being a GM, I would not be surprised to see KW bumped upstairs in order to accommodate LaRussa. That is my bold prediction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Was Teahen's second error on a play that would have been a double play? As someone mentioned earlier, it's really no shock the Sox went on a good run when he got hurt. I don't know how we managed to overcome the loss of his amazing power, contact ability, and defense. Also, I'm really frustrated by Ozzie playing guys who don't match-up well against the pitcher. Andruw Jones vs Bonderman's slider is a recipe for disaster. If anything, play him tomorrow against Porcello's sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Listening to 30 mintues of this game on the radio, DJ and Farmer were blasting the Sox performance tonight. Saying how awful the defense positioning is. They seemed especially frustrated with Rios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my bold prediction! Bring back Royce Clayton, any Alomar, Lofton and D'Angelo Jimenez please. Actually, do we really have a lot of faith that JR is going to spend $3 million per year on a GM, because that's what LaRussa's market price is...

That is my bold prediction! I thought about this same thing too. It would be like Jerry to dick over Rick Hahn and hand the job to Tony. Jerry likes to think 'outside the box' on his hires, and as you mentioned, he would love to rehire his buddy La Russa in some capacity.. Also, I thouht that if Ozzie goes, could Dave Duncan step in as manager?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see them co-existing. As Fathom has noted, he's shown some interest in the White Sox managing job himself over the years when probed on the question.

He coughed it up for our MVP-candidate third baseman. Seriously, JR's clock is ticking, and he's likely fed up with this Season's drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Sox Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 06:56 PM) No one answered my question about Teahen's 2nd error. This is a pull baseball special it seems. About it being a double play ball? Yes, it was. He made a nice pick on it actually, but threw the ball nowhere close to the bag. His glove isn't terrible, but he throws the ball away wayyyy too often. I think it's gotten to his head. He strikes me as being a little on the soft side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
