Thank You to all the Veterans for your sacrifice. My first game thread ever in 8 years on Soxtalk. If Sox lose OG blame me!

Edited May 30, 201114 yr by Soxfest

Go Sox! Wish I was in Boston, I've gone the past two seasons. Weekday games don't work out so well. Let's sweep them like we did at Fenway last year!

It's Memorial Day, May 30. Memorial Day is the first legit "Evaluation day" we hit during a MLB season.

 

This team is 7 games below .500, 9.5 games back in the division. If they don't win this series, it's just about selling time.

This thread should be closed in honor of having no chance to win this game.

I would still give it till the end of June.. there is really no rush, and we still have a lot of games with the Cubs, Nationals, Diamondbacks.. plus, if you make this kind of investment going "all in" you might as well try to give them as much time as you can before pulling the plug..

Not sure how many games the White Sox play from now until end of June, but they need an 17-10 type of month to turn this season around. If they play another .500 month, they could find themselves 11 or 12 games out heading in July and Kenny Williams would have to start looking at the team for what it is.

Kenny is too stupid to know anything. Some other GM will come along and fleece him. And, Ozzie will continue to ignore him.

That McPherson move really worked out well for us didn't it Kenny? Great job allowing Ozzie to play him more than your 3B of the future and Lillibridge. What a joke this management is. DFA Pierre now and bring up Dayan!

The problem is those teams you listed are saying the same things about this team.

 

 

"Let's not sell just yet, we still have games with the XXXX,ZZZZ,White Sox, YYYYY...."

Like the whole AL Central. Everyone's "all in" it because they play the White Sox.

 

Oh, the irony.

60 games is enough to evaluate a team IMO

Sorry Balta, but I think 2/3rds of soxtalk folks already evaluated this team. But, I still see around all-star break as the time to start scratching our heads

If boston sweeps us, this rapidly becomes a total loss.

2/3rds had their evaluations done on April 30.

A sweep of the redsox would do wonders for the team's confidence.

I almost wanted to see Dunn in there for comedic purposes. Dunn vs Lester? lol

sweep these overpaid p*****s.

Wait, which side are you rooting for?

I've got a feeling this is going to be ugly. Lester is pretty damn filthy. Hopefully Peavy is on his game.

You and me both.

JP looking rather foolish.

You and me both.

 

They're basically the AL all-star team. And were, well, yeah.

Nice, 'lexi. One of the lone bright spots.

I swear if we don't get at least one here.
