Soxfest Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) 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, 2011 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claydude14 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 It's Memorial Day, May 30. Memorial Day is the first legit "Evaluation day" we hit during a MLB season. Â 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't win this series, it's just about selling time.  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..

If they don't win this series, it's just about selling time.  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.

oldsox Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Kenny is too stupid to know anything. Some other GM will come along and fleece him. And, Ozzie will continue to ignore him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCangelosi Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 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!
