aboz56 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 This is it folks. WE'RE DONE. No more optimistic threads, no more IFS, nothing. Accept our fate, realize JM is gonna be GONE and stick your tail between your legs for the winter. Come back out of winter hibernation and hope that we have some players next season who have some desire and pride in the way they play, because this group obviously didn't have it. The ups and downs this season were remarkable, but overall this team just didn't get the job done. I still love them, but I am extremely disappointed in the way they played as we all should be. Goodnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 There are hard winters and then there are hard winters. This is gonna be one of the toughest winters in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I'll have some college basketball to watch. I know my Spartans won't let me down like these dogs have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I hope we realize this winter that trades sometimes don't work out. Botch looked like a good acquisition. As did Wells. As did Ritchie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Botch looked like a good acquisition. As did Wells. As did Ritchie. I didn't like the Botch trade from Day 1. Wells looked solid. I didn't like the Ritchie trade from Day 1. Keep KW away from Billy Beane and any pitchers this offseason. Goof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wells looked solid. I didn't like the Ritchie trade from Day 1. Keep KW away from Billy Beane and any pitchers this offseason. Goof I agree with you completely. Botch had a higher ERA even last year, When we hated Foulke. He even said he only had 12 1-2-3 innnings in 93 innnings of work. The numbers tell you that's not a smart trade. I said the Ritchie trade was going to hinge on Fogg.. He started in his first season. We got screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the Ritchie trade was going to hinge on Fogg.. He started in his first season. We got screwed. And I also think that much of the failure of Kip Wells had to do with Nardi Contreras. He doesn't have a ton of wins this season in Pittsburgh, but his K, ERA and WHIP numbers are all stellar. He wasn't a good pitching coach at all. In fact, he was horrid. So that trade was terrible, especially considering the fact that Coop could have helped Wells and Fogg tremendously in my opinion. We've seen great improvements with Garland because of Coop and he also helped E-Lo tremendously. I think Coop deserves to stay with the Sox.

aboz56 Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 Corpseball made a stop in Arlington tonight. I couldn't resist reliving this thread, due to a stud pitcher like Wasdin shutting us down. :puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Even Billy Koch gets people out once in a while. So Wasdin has a game. We got 3 runs, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxin' Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Somebody needs to tell Jose what Corpseball is. I don't see how you can call tonight corpseball? We lost to a first place team on the road, and the bullpen blew it. You can't blame the offense tonight, 4 runs isn't terrible. I don't think a bump of this thread is at all necessary.
