Gameday Thread-Doubleheader Special: White Sox vs Indians

Featured Replies

So why wouldn't you have Konerko hit for Fukudome and let Viciedo face the LHP? Is Lillibridge a better option than Viciedo right now?

HOLY f***

Goodness, he crushed that just foul

Sox scored in 2 innings, only problem Cleveland scored at the bottom of both those innings. Way to hold them down this is pathectic.

Our young hitters cannot hit offspeed pitches, with the exception of Dayan who cannot hit fastballs. Ugh

Definitely a "game of inches" tonight.

Great performance, team! So glad I bought MLB.tv on a month to month basis, so I can cancel when I want to.

The hell with the baseball gods right now...we cannot buy a goddamned break.

Thank you Matt for once again crapping the bed. I cant wait until your off the payroll.

Still want to know why De Aza was literally playing 385 feet away for Cabrera. Did he think Bonds in his prime was up? Once that flare dropped, it was the beginning of the end.

I hope he is gone soon, last 2 years he has cost the Sox 7 or 8 games alone.

I dont know what he is thinking back there....oh well. Well these past few games have been pretty miserable.

I just don't understand why he can't develop a f***ing changeup

Same thing, but I did it more because the connection here in China is very spotty unless it's from 2 am - 7 am in the morning...otherwise, it jumps and freezes.

 

MLB GameDay Audio is still the best bargain in the world if you live outside the US.

 

Got an e-mail saying they were "refunding" my purchase price of $24.95 (for "premium") in a future credit card statement.

 

 

I think the reason it hurts is because we're good enough to be winning these games.

Not even a change, he just needs to be able to throw a consistent enough slider that he can keep hitters off his fastball.

 

And have the confidence to occasionally use it when behind in the count.

 

But it's not like in his mid 30's he's going to be able to do that, or Cooper already would have taught him and he'd be one of the best relievers in modern baseball history from the LH side.

lost 11 of last 13? Wow were playing some ugly baseball after that decent start.

Don't forget how good he's been for so long with a 1 pitch repertoire. He just needs to throw it in the right place.

and some of you guys want a total rebuild. You think this year is fun. Just wait until we dont have much to look forward to.

The more games he has like this, the harder it gets to 1) get anything of value in return or 2) start preparing for the fact that we'd have to eat a bit of that $12 million still owed (well, after one month, it's closer to $11 million).

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2012 -> 02:59 AM)
Sorry the Royals are losing another home game again, lol.

 

They seem to ONLY be able to beat the Yankees.

 

 

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2012 -> 03:02 AM)
Would have been out in the 1st game.

 

The ball was carrying really well then. Lillibridge hit one that completely fooled Sanders in CF it carried so well and he had to make a circus recovery.

 

 

6/31 for Lillibridge.

Everything that CAN go wrong WILL go wrong at this point. You just had to have a feeling the Sale announcement was going to torch any hope of competing this season and the self-induced prophecy is happening right before our eyes.

 

 

1.) The only reason I want KC to win is for this area. Otherwise I could give a s*** about the Royals. WHen the Sox play KC I want the Sox to win every game, always have.

2.) I agree on the Sale thing. That will forever be my "turning point" for this season since Sox fans always cite turning points.

What exactly is there to look forward to now? The organization is not in a good spot at all. A rebuild is getting more and more inevitable.

I'm fine with that, as long as it's an organizational-wide effort (ie: Cubs under Theo). None of the bulls*** trying to compete on the field while rebuilding at the same time. All that's done is give us a mediocre big league team and a terrible farm system.

No there is not...but atleast you have some decent players in place. Just wait until your the laughing stock of the league for 5-10 years. Boy thats going to be really fun. Hell most of the people wont even be on here anymore and they shouldnt be. I wouldnt watch that garbage.
