*tips cap to Bruce Chen and the mighty Royals*

home has not been good to us...yet

The 2011 team isn't the worst White Sox club I've seen (or even close), but they appear to give a s*** less than any White Sox club I've seen.

might not be the worst but probably one of the least likeable

Is it the most boring? Honestly, only consistently "can't miss" thing for me watching a Sox game this year has been Santos pitching.

From management down to the players.

Go Angels

I just don't understand why Kenny or Ozzie or both haven't had a closed-door meeting. Or why Ozzie hasn't blown up at the media. Or why some players haven't started infighting. There's just nothing but this dull malaise.

Congratuations Chicago White Sox.

 

You knew coming into this series you had to start beating Central Division teams ... better yet at home.

 

You almost got swept by Kansas City.

You were owned by 3 KC starting pitchers, all of whom suck.

You were outplayed by a team that is AWFUL on the road.

You were outplayed by a team that has been so bad the past month it is laughable, again at home.

 

Congratulations boys. Nice series.

Get ready to get your asses swept by Minnesota and maybe just maybe we'll see some firings and changes to staff and player personnel both.

And Konerko hitting before today.

 

And Chris Sale recently.

 

 

Not to be premature but when you're getting trounced by KC and, I'm guessing, the Twins will give us the usual ass-kicking, there's your season.

Congratulations White Sox, you broke greg's heart!

Lack of talent provided by the GM and lack of effort provided for the manager leads to a very unlikable team. Especially as they flounder away in a winnable division.

 

Again though, what reason is there for effort or urgency? Nobody in the organization is held accountable. It's easy to not give a s*** if there are no consequences.

 

Saw that one coming from a mile away...

 

Honest to God, Santiago pitching was the most excited I've been watching a Sox game in MONTHS...

And Konerko hitting before today.

 

And Chris Sale recently.

Add Hector Santiago to that list!

 

EDIT: And how could we forget Humber?!?!?

Use his melon, and really show off that talent he has, cause he has talent that I won't argue but .....

He should have been the GG award winner last year beating out Derek Jeter for the AL based on his defense.

Alexei was the silver slugger award winner for the AL at the SS position.

 

 

Once again, what else do you want from the guy?

yes it is very boring

 

i always like watching mark pitch and enjoy a good humber as well

1.) If you like pop ups, you love this team. And strikeouts from power hitters not named Konerko.

2.) You are not ready to bury this lifeless crap team that can't even beat KC at home when the team knows it HAS to start beating Central Division teams? All because the division is so bad they are presumably still "in the race?"

We've got to get some offense in here. Even the standard "wait until the weather" heats up rebuttal to our yearly slow starts offensively is not coming to fruition. Viciedo is a must. What's the 3B market look like? I can't take Morel. I know he's a rookie. And I'd be a lot more patient with him if we had the payroll/expectations of the Pirates/Royals. But shockingly, this division can still be had. Send Morel back to the minors.

Forget it, I understand myself. Fine Lexi is the god of all Shortstops he can do no wrong, I'm not worthy......

I can understand people's frustrations with almost every player, but I think everyone has just hit a cold streak at once, similar to other points over the last two seasons. I'm not sure Viciedo would help, but Dunn HAS to be dropped in the order. It makes absolutely no sense to bat him third. He needs to drop to at least 6th, probably 7th or 8th. Him batting 3rd has cost us at least two games recently.

Forget it, I understand myself. Fine Lexi is the god of all Shortstops he can do no wrong, I'm not worthy......

Yeah! Screw facts and statistics!

Nobody said that Extreme Reaction Eddie. But you need to have something of more substance to your argument than "Use his melon" or "make routine plays." He was the best defensive SS in the AL last season, apparently he made those plays.

Do we have a 2Bman in the minors who could replace Becks a couple weeks as well? He needs help.

 

To not call up Viciedo for the Minnie series ... it's insane. We are just conceding games it seems til we finally can call him up.

 

I'd have a lineup of DeAza (cf), Alexei (ss), Konerko (1b), Quentin (rf), Viciedo (DH), AJ/Castro ©, best minor leaguer we have (3b), best minor leaguer we have (2b) and Pierre (lf). Let Lilly play some; let Omar play some. Give Morel and Becks some time in AAA, two weeks or so then bring them back up if the minor leaguers are failing.

Fielding pct, doesn't say the whole story

Yeah...So....The fielding bible isnt based on FPCT. But still, wouldnt that statistic show that he made the routine plays?
