zenryan Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 At one point the Sox were 4-2 and the Rays were 0-6. Now the Rays is the team with the better record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 For whatever reason, the Sox, except in 06 and 05, start terribly slow. It seems like in April, they simply suck in all phases of the game. It's early, yes, but at the end of the year, we're always looking back thinking how did we blow this season, and it's usually in April.

WilliamTell Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 We were 7-4 a week ago and most people were angry that we weren't 9-2 or 10-1. Couldn't have even fathomed losing 7 in a row but it's happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Tell you one manager I really like...Kirk Gibson. His first full year. He gets the most out of that crappy lineup. He's a no bs guy. DBags won't do great at all this year...and I really don't like 'em very much...but I do like Gibson. I actually like their coaches too. Don Baylor, Eric Young, Matt Williams, Allan Trammell.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'm getting sick of this underachiever. Now we can see exactly why Blue Jays fans despised this guy. In 275 PAs after the all-star break last year our $12/$13 million dollar a year CF put up a slash-line of .258/.301/.383/.684. I don't have the defensive numbers, obviously. But I think we all know his defense slipped as well. And that's just unacceptable. He's picked up right where he left off last year with a slash-line of .183/.275/.249/.524. And his defense is still subpar considering his physical talents. And he just doesn't appear to leave everything out on the field. Juan Pierre, Brent Lillibridge, Mark Teahen, Phillip Humber. They have no talent. I expect them to suck. Rios is a joke. Â I really need one of those memory sapping flashy devices from MIB that make you forget s***. Between Peavy, Rios and the Pena trade, I want to pretend the summer of '09 never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 BTW, tough call for Ozzie tomorrow. He wanted to get Rios a day off, but he'll have to decide whether or not to get Rios back on the field after having his best night in two weeks.

And he was definitely unlucky. But you know better than anybody how fed up I am of this dude. KW took a risk. I'll give him credit for that. But the return has not been worth it.

(2 weeks into the season lol) well if ozzie should be fired then gardenhire should be fired too, they have a worse record than we do and i dont hear twins fans saying he should be gone because 2 weeks worth of baseball oh and francona too while were at it  Twin fans wanted Gardenhire gone after the post season.

I said since the break of LAST year. Yeah, he had a good first half. But we're talking more than 300 PAs of s*** since then. And I have no recollection whatsoever of "ignoring you" about anything to do with Rios. Then again, I'm a drunk.

Milkman delivers Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 11:16 PM) The reasons for optimism right now are the division standings are backwards, and there are a lot of games left. I still feel our team is fatally flawed and is not going to make the playoffs. However, it appears very possible this divison sucks. So maybe we can get hot midseason, get to an upper 80's win total again, and that'll be enough to get in this time. It's just very frusterating when your bullpen blows, your defense blows, and you're getting off a horrible start to the season after emphasizing starting hot because a bad start basically cost you the playoffs last year. Â Another reason for optimism? I think heads will finally roll if this season doesn't work out. And as much as another failed season would suck the big one, at least the change that would be long overdue with another season ending after only 162 games would come. I'd much prefer this team just pick up the pace, though. Â I agree with every word of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he gotten off to a bad start so far? Absolutely. Does he all the sudden suck now? Hahaha, no. Give it at least 100 games before we bury him in the dirt.

The time between the ASB of 2010 and now is more than just a small sample size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
