GAME THREAD 8/20: SOX @ LAA

All that's left for me then is what other team has gotten swept in two 4 game series in the same year and when? I think if Sox lose tnight Robin should be fired. That would be an 0-8 record in a pair of 4 game series. You can't win divisions doing s*** like that. Team is too erratic.

 

The 2013 Twins were swept in a 4 game series four times.

What good is a damn draft pick? It's not like the Sox are close to winning anything with draft picks.

 

Are you seriously asking this question or joking around?

What good is Chris Sale or Carlos Rodon? A draft pick allows us to do what we're incapable of otherwise -- developing a potential superstar player. Is it a guarantee for success? Hell no. But why not put us in a better position to improve the team? Will you care come 2016 if the White Sox finish with five more losses if it meant an improvement of several draft slots?

 

But the White Sox aren't close to winning anything, anyways. Wise up and realize nothing from this point onward matters -- whether we finish with 81 wins or 69 itll be the same plan come next season

I just don't get it! He has proven he is not a positive for this lineup! Let the kids play! Admit the mistake and move on already! What a joke this team is!

That is why Gardenshire is now an usher for the Twins.

 

Looking back at that schedule again, they finished the season 5-20 and managed to get swept in two 4-game series in 11 days. Robin has his work cut out for him! :lol:

Q looks awful tonight. At least we bunted in the 1st

Lead of the game with a double, and Ventura plays for 1 run.

And if bunting is all Saladino's good for, then don't bat him 2nd.

 

No Thompson, again. Ventura has decided he's a platoon hitter.

I hope Sox consider trading Q for offense this winter.

When is Avi supposed to start hitting like Miguel Cabrera?

Im not a fan of it, but we may have to. Puig like player.

Problem is pitching would have holes and hitting would still be mediocre

It has holes regardless.

I take it back about all crews besides the Sox being lousy. The Angels 2 man booth isn't bad. Gubicza and some other guy are relatively entertaining. Their feed is ahead of the Sox feed by quite a bit so I've had them on during this s***storm of a series.

Despite the dominance they haven't been mocking the White Sox too much.

Why don't we just sign that Cuban outfielder, sorry his name escapes me. Sounds like that guy could be a solution.

Hawk insinuating the umpires are trying to help the Angels

Never the fault of Sox management ever Hawk looks stupid with this s*** every losing series

Avi overpowered once again on inside fastball. Insane amount of double plays this series by the Sox.

The whole organization is a joke right now

Team is ultra boring and a great cure for insomnia. Season ticket renewals will be BRUTAL this winter especially If all phases of so called management returns.

I get sick of the Sox losing all the time. And I'm not a draft guy.

That is a remarkable stat. That team really must have reeked. That's 0-16 in just four series.

Yes sir. Him.
