At least we didn't lose any ground to the Tigers tonight. If we keep winning 5 out of every 6, we'll still win this division going away.

 

LMAO...the Sox will NOT keep winning every 5 out of every 6, no team does.

 

The White Sox will NOT win this division "going away"...if they win it, it will be a very tight race and will require excellent overall baseball against good teams...beating up on the Twins and Orioles does not make for sporting lofty predictions.

Blah. He's just a guy. People always overrate him though, which is why he keeps getting traded for.

 

We lost tonight because we didn't take advantage with 1st and 3rd for our best hitter in the 7th and 2 on, nobody out in the 8th. Frasor hasn't been good, but really, we lost the game before he gave up that homer.

 

I do agree that the game was over before that homer...you figured one of their hitters would run into a pitch sooner than later. Some really awful at bats by Konerko, Beckham and Dunn with RISP towards the end of the game. Also, no more of this pulling Quentin BS in the 8th inning of a tie game.

Frasor is a typical Sox reliever now!

Tomorrow is a make or break game for this team. You cannot lose a Buerhle vs Tillman match-up at this point in the season.

They're not going to win anything without Dunn and Beckham contributing.

 

Rios and Morel have picked it up at least, that's somewhat encouraging.

 

You would say it's almost too bad Rios wasn't asked to bunt (if he actually can execute it)...but that would have meant Dunn or Beckham still would have needed to come through with a hit.

 

Dunn, now 17 times this season with at least 3 K's and no hits. A new major league record every time he manages that difficult feat.

I'd like to hear one logical/reasonable/sane reason why anyone thinks this Sox team is going to win this division. Not. Going. To. Happen.

I can't stand that. The game was tied when he was pulled too, which makes it especially bad IMO. No lead to protect, or need for speed to try and come from behind.

Ozzie also didn't get Lillibridge or Ramirez into the game as PH'ers.

 

At least both those guys can get an extra-base hit or a homer...Lilly should have hit for DeAza against a LHP.

 

Ramirez could have hit for Vizquel.

Sure and the likelihood we keep winning 5 out of 6 is about 100000 to 1

f*** Adam Dunn he actually makes me sick to my stomach

 

put him on the DL and bring up Viciedo

 

 

Will this be another game that goes by the wayside due to our manager?

Seems like having Rios bunt the runners over - then pinch hitting Dunn for Alexi would have been an obvious decision.

This.

Detroit is not playing .500 in the Central. Chances are good it won't be the Twins. Cleveland could win this.

I think Detroit comes in third - behind us... with Cleveland winning.

Yuck.

 

I hope I'm wrong and we get hot and win this thing.

Don't see it happening thou.

AL Central is horrible. It could happen if we start playing better at home.

Will we ever get over .500 is the real question. I say no f***ing way.

 

Well the home run derby stopped and we lose. f***. We got to hit 2-3 homers a night to win.

 

Frasor looks like another cruddy acquisition. Giving up a bomb to Baltimore is inexcusable with the Sox again flirting with .500.

I'll take a 6-1 road trip.

Do all fan message boards second guess their manager after losses like this?

Wow it is relentless.

I can't wait til we hire a bad manager. This site will be something else.

Probably, be we... the few, the tall, and the proud... second guess our manager during the game.

Touche.
