I went for a walk at lunch and stepped in a pile of Rios

 

And you'll keep doing it for the next few seasons

Man, I bet the Twins wish they could play the Sox 10 games in a 2 week span becuase they could be right back in this division after going 10-0 vs us.

 

FIRE OZZIE!!

Time for KW or JR to literally make an "all-in" move. This means: Fire Ozzie; DFA Pierre; Waive Rios; Fire Walker.....some combination of 1 or all of those things. Create an "OH SH*T" environment in the organization. Time to make guys feel uncomfortable. This is it! The Sox are statistically in a position to still win the division, but this team as-is probably has a 15% chance or less.

 

Shake things up, ride it out, and see what happens. Put your money where your mouth is, and make a true ALL-IN move. That's my opinion.

Ok here comes Interleague ... we will be in 1st place after interleague finsihes.

Next person to suggest Rios will get released should be banned.

And Greg Walker too while we're at it. (cue the defenders of blind loyalty)

 

Beckham used to be able to hit center-cut fastballs in the low 90's. Wha' happened???

It will be a very quiet board tomorrow night if Jackson whips Hudson.

 

Otherwise, the servers are going to crash on KW's head. Although with the late night start, maybe it will be SOMEWHAT quiet, especially heading West as usual with our tail between our legs after the predictable Twins victory.

And the Sox will be back in 3rd place in September when we play divisional opponents 4 times a week ;)

1-9 against Minny and DET.

 

Otherwise, we're great against our division and in first place, haha.

The real admins agree with fathom. For the first time in months!

7-28 last 35 vs. Minnesota

6-11 vs. AL Central foes this year

38-51 vs. AL Central foes since Opening Day 2010

Only three runs in four games vs. last-place Minnesota this year

Seventh time shut out this season

33-37 overall record

 

Serious threat to AL Central ............NOT!

Exactly, the White Sox are the b**** of the AL Central.

Totally agree with the bolded.

 

When Ozzie said a month or so ago something along the lines of "If you fire Greg Walker, you might as well fire me", the way he said it revealed a much-too-high comfort level. He KNOWS he still has carte blanche with the old man from '05.

Remember when the thought of trading Beckham for Halladay was risky?

 

And I was one of those saying no ...no...foolish me

 

I swear I've lost confidence that Gordon Beckham will ever become a good MLB player. Can't Walker see that he's loading late and fouling off every pitch to the right? He was so much better before having Walk get into his head. We need a new manager and batting coach NOW Jerry. Are you really "ALL IN"? Then FIRE OZZIE and FIRE WALKER.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:21 PM)
7-28 in their last 35 games against the Twins. Say whatever you will about me. This organization needs a clean sweep of the organizational trash from top to bottom.

 

I say that you're right...but I'm bashed as a hater...my loyalty does not have to be blind to make me any less passionate about the team I love.

I love the Sox...but not always those entrusted with their success

Farmer said during the game today that he had talked to Walker, and Walker said he is trying to break Gordo of exactly that hitch in his swing.

I almost feel like he should be working on that down in Charlotte for a little while.

2k5 is correct, this was stated today.

I'm sure it is wrong. Greg Walker is an idiot who just preaches lift and pull.

Wasted money is wasted money. It's wasted whether it's on the field wasting 4 ABs a game, sitting on the bench, or outright released. When you make a bad business deal, even a huge one, there's always a time to consider where your stop-gap is.

Wow, so you think Walker does a good job and deserves to stay in his role?

1-0 loss?

What a joke this team is against the Central.

Break.It.Up. Now.

At least fire Ozzie and Kenny. This team is not a division title contender.

s*** we might lose all 19 to Minnie this year. It's that bad right now.

And oh yes.

Adam Dunn, you f***ing suck. Oh, he got a hit and a walk, he's coming around.

Rios you suck.

Gordon, get your head out of your ass.

Pierre you suck.

Nick Blackburn is just such a good pitcher.

Nothing has changed (except we are worse this year against Detroit)
