Balta1701 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2015 -> 09:04 PM) Obviously, it's hindsight....but Russell Martin/Nelson Cruz instead of Melky/Bonifacio and we're still a contending team. It's not only hindsight it's an extra $120 million. Those 2 are under contracts for more than the White Sox spent last offseason entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 On the plus side this week, the White Sox will be able to hire Dan Jennings soon. One would think he'd have a very difficult time (psychologically) going back to the GM position in that organization after being quickly canned as the manager.

southsideirish71 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Well we are playing our division. Its where loses for us come in bunches. This Indians team is crap there is no reason they should come in here and take 3 out of 4. But I never would of thought the twins would of swept us as well.

oldsox Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2015 -> 07:02 PM) The worst aspect is JUST when the fans were starting to believe the team COULD be a playoff contender...AND, playing at HOME where they have actually performed well this season, they just flat out are laying an egg again. It's like, at least for the casual fans, "here we go, been there...done that...this team will bounce back and forth around the .500 mark, probably below it...not a terrible team but not a contending team and not one that's worthy of my support or emotional investment." Purgatory. Face it, Caulfield. You're hooked. You are not a casual fan. You're an addict. You're screwed. You'll be this way decades from now.

Those 2 are under contracts for more than the White Sox spent last offseason entirely. For some reason, I thought Cruz hadn't signed a 4 year deal. It's closer to $90 million than $120 (differential if you subtract Melky's deal), but still not tenable for the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was off by $15 million because I only counted Cabrera for $30 mil instead of $42. Close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, I'm not going to treat fans of teams like the Padres, Rangers, Nationals, Mariners, etc., as "long suffering" by any definition. Perhaps the Indians' fans can give the Cubs a battle, though.
