Compared to last season, it's not even close.

Fangraphs had him virtually identical with the glove last time I looked.

Good thing they felt we could compete and didn't make many changes!!

The changes came before the year. The spending.

 

After what Jerry did last offseason, he's not going to open the pocketbook again to give Kenny more carte blanche to blow.

Haha, Beckham blown away by 94 mph fastballs.

Holy f***, I don't think there's a team this easy to hate. There is literally NOTHING that makes me want to watch (and yet I still do, ugh sports). We have an idiot manager, an idiot GM, and a team full of s***ty ball players.

Then bleeping sell!

Might as well let Juan try to steal 2nd and 3rd.

So we can smash CC but cant hit Hughes....wow

I'm so tired of watching Vizquel bat. Someone needs to tell Oney to tell his dad that Morel is better against RHP than LHP.

It's unreal what happened and what is happening. The Sox are easily looking at being 7 or 8 out by end of the weekend. THIS TEAM IS DEAD

What I was getting at was to start dumping this circus side show and start anew... then again does anyone really trust these guys to do that right??

5.5 back after tonight is looking very possible. This is definitely a nightmare scenario.

The next will be the undervaluing of our players come the offseason when we're looking to trade them.

 

And think, last week people were worried about dealing Quentin and Thornton because of all this boogey-man talk of "white flag" and "attendance dropping." Well, how'd that work out for us? Attendance is s*** and we could have easily played this poorly with a few less players. It's just ridiculous anyone could have thought this team was anything more than what we're seeing. It's as if Williams knew with dealing Jackson, but then out thought himself.

 

Well, hopefully we'll just lose the remainder of this series, then the Twins series, and can begin looking forward to next season. Just end this misery now instead of September.

Rios will take over at 3b then.

The problem with that is the manager. Do you think for a minute that 8 games back or more will stop Guillen from starting Omar over Morel, rios over DeAza or any of thebother silly decisions that he makes.

 

We better put Konerko in the lineup soon, injured or not. Listening to Hawk talk about this lineup being different without him, I sense an excuse forming to explain the slide in the standings. There should be none entering the offseason -- put his ass in now. Even if it just means standing at the plate.

I don't believe I've used this line this year, but screw this team. Bunch of unlikable, underachieving busts.

 

This is what we get when Reinsdorf declares he's all-in.

I guess he said "I'll fixed 'em".

Oh please, please just go back to being the snake oil salesman.

We knew what to expect with that.

I would call this start a waste...

Meh. Doofus Hawk spewing his garbage is nothing new. Thank god for the mute button.

No, he probably won't, but I think a sudden drop in the standings will increase tensions, definitely on Williams for his lack of midseason deals; maybe on Guillen for doing exactly what you're describing.

 

It's better than the alternative of meddling around .500 and 5 games back, continuing to wait for that elusive 8 game winning streak we always seem to come across every season.

Rios wouldn't.

Dunn wouldn't.

Peavy wouldn't.

Ozzie wouldn't.

Kenny......noi sure.
