Quin Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 19, 2012 -> 11:23 PM) Posts like this confuse me. The White Sox have sucked for two-plus seasons now. Many of us would rather NOT give the team the benefit of the doubt and wait for them to show us things may have changed. Losing 3 of 4 at home to Baltimore is ridiculous. Our hitting sucks. Yes many of us are not completely jumping off the ledge cause play vs. the Central Div. has been good. Everything else has sucked. Goddamn our team for losing to 2 of the best teams in the league when we are expected to suck. We demand sweeping every damn game series! Wait, it confused you? Goddamn our team For losing to two of the best teams in the league When we are expected to suck. We demand sweeping every damn series!

We demand sweeping every damn series! Baltimore is NOT one of the best f***ing teams in the league. Baltimore is average. Who expects the Sox to suck? I expected .500 ball and if the players actually performed above average for once in 3 seasons we could contend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Well, one of the reasons that Baltimore is in first place is due to the fact they just took 3/4 from us, but they were playing over .500 ball before this series started. Of course, so were we, at 5-2. Mostly, Greg is frustrated because we always seem to do poorly against Toronto, Baltimore and the other AL Central teams, at least since 2009. On the other hand, we've made a lot of progress in terms of our results in Seattle and Oakland compared to 8-10 years ago. Of course, both of those franchises were much stronger then. So we can look at it positively (3-3 against the Rangers and Tigers, away and home series, taking 2 from CLE on the road) or that we underperformed in this series when we expected to go 3-1 or no worse than 2-2. It all evens out, though, over the course of a season...it's so much about momentum and when you play a team, injuries, etc. Things would be fine if we'd won at least one of those 3 winnable games, but we didn't. So you move on...however, it would have been a big boost to take that last game of the series in comeback fashion after coughing away Game 2 and get on the plane for that long flight together. At least we don't see Felix or Pineda this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, is it too much to ask that a team with as many veterans as the White Sox and as good a pitching as the White Sox can't split with Baltimore at home? Sox effort this series? F. 3 out of 4 is a butt kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
