If we win tomorrow, we'll still be in first place.. and we will still have not been swept all season.

Boy when the Sox get in these funks they look like the worst team in baseball.

Up and down up and down.

Losing streaks suck.

Bye bye first place; it was fun knowing you.

Losers of 4 in a row. April the 26th since Tigers lead the division.

I hate losing to the kitties as much as anyone, and losing 1st place. But I want this to be a close race and a fun one. There's no reason the Sox have to turtle after this road trip. s***, we've been getting by with a ton of inexperience in the bullpen and a couple of our "best" hitters going through prolonged slumps. I fully expect this to be a competitive 2nd half.

Every team has stretches like this.

 

The better fans realize that their team doesn't suck.

White flag trade this shiznit. Atleast we can get some good building blocks.

Our new division:

 

Sox 50-44 -

Bal 49-44 0.5

Oak 49-44 0.5

TB 49-45 1.0

Bos 48-46 2.0

Cle 47-46 2.5

Tor 46-47 3.5

Adam Dunn strike out to end it. There's a shocker.

 

Embarrassing, on national TV, these guys have to be embarrassed right now for themselves

Fire Sale!

Take a poll: if you'd asked fans if they would take being .5 games out of 1st on July 21st would they take it?

People have to stop talking like this. Seriously.

 

Look at the payroll. Look at the players Kenny acquired over the years to win nothing, that actually did something in the first 84 games.

 

This team is supposed to win games. The "would you have taken" scenarios are ridiculous.

Adam Dunn. Such a fearsome #3 hitter. Nice job, big man. Way to get it started.

Sox need to trade for hitting, not pitching. A second baseman that can hit would be a welcome addition. Also, a good hitting outfielder that would allow Viciedo to DH at times, especially against LHP.

 

If they could get someone to take Dunn in a trade, all the better but I doubt anyone would want him.

I'm not giving up on the division but I'm willing to bet the White Sox are better than every single one of these teams you mention.

Practically all of the Sox teams this century has done something with the 1st half. They just seem to fail under pressure in the 2nd half. Nothing new under the sun here.

 

 

 

It's hard to tell how Sale was today without being able to see.

 

Just a bad outing our was his stuff diminished... Any indication he is wearing down?

I'm not saying the Sox suck.

I am saying I'm not convinced we're going to escape the curse of being one or two above or under .500 this season, now that the team is in a horrible funk again.

pretty much the same exact thing as Peavy last game. 1 bad inning and great the rest.

 

At some point we have to score runs, it doesn't matter how great our pitching is if we can't score

Well, a weekend in Detroit, where there's not a whole hell of a lot to eat, is gonna take its toll on someone like Sale. Detroit sucks!

The bottom third of the order just doesn't get on base enough against right-handers. I still think a starting pitcher is most important though.

Tomorrow is a real big game. Sox will either have the lead or 1.5 behind and swept with Peavy and Sale and facing a guy with a 10.00 ERA game 3. They have to start scoring some runs again. Maybe tomorrow is when it begins.

the team is in a horrible funk again.

They've lost 4 in a row - two of which where very tough losses.

They've lost 7 of the last ten.

 

Before that, they where on fire.

 

No reason to think of this as horrible in my mind.

Just turn it around and get back to winning series and winning in the central.

 

It's far from over - enjoy the ride.

I see a bunch of flawed teams competing to lose to the Angels in a 1-game playoff.
