Fire Robin. Make Paulie manager.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 09:33 PM) I love it. I don't. We should be gearing up for the playoffs....instead we are making tee times. Can't wait to get a new manager in here for 2014

We are the best team in baseball now! Too bad Robin f***ed this season up months ago

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 06:40 PM) Dempster just made himself a lot of fans tonight I'm not sure what took so long for a player to do this. I really lost a lot of respect for Robin Ventura when we had none of our pitchers take this action during ARods return series. Just bean the bum with a 95+ mph fastball at least once per game and he'll disappear from the sport soon enough. Players in the "golden era" of the sport had a way of self police-ing each other and the game has seemed to lose that over the years.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 10:13 PM) Rivera did to Wells what I thought he'd do to Dunn. Blow him away. John Danks could have blown away Wells......in his injured state of last year

RV will have one more shot to have a pitcher throw at ARod's head. Any manager with any understanding of the game would have thrown at him at least 3-4 times this series. If he fails to do it at all, Hahn needs to call him into the office after the game and tell him to pack his bags. There's no excuse for this type of ineptitude.

Why is this fartface Casper Wells still on this team? He's hitting 40 points worse than Tyler Flowers. Seriously....I bet there's outfielders playing beer league softball who could step in and do a better job for us. Get rid of this friendly ghost and give the playing time to those who are the future of the organization.

We're running out of time to have one of our pitchers throw a fastball at ARod's head. The baseball world has been waiting for this to happen and next inning may be the last chance of the series. If Robin doesn't have the nads to have our guys plonk him in the head, its definitely time for a new manager.

Damn...I wanted Soriano to get on base so Reed could have beaned ARod in the head.

Southpaw is due for a raise.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:05 PM) Seriously, though. Viciedo swinging 3-0? How bout take one pitch when you have one hit total since the first inning?? Then at 3-1 maybe he can try to get hold of one. Everybody is failing offensively this year, including Mr. Ventura. I've had enough. Got to go to a function. Love ya White Sox. This team is continually making fundamental mistakes. I don't think this team is capable of winning a World Series, but I think with capable leadership we could be a .500 ballclub. Robin Ventura and the rest of the staff (excluding Don Cooper) have made their share of fundamental mistakes and have not prevented the players from doing their share. With proper coaching, we should be buyers instead of sellers in the coming week and I hope Reinsdorf, Hahn, and company see right and bring in a new coaching staff after this season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 07:41 PM) We call this Venturaball This is why Robin and the entire coaching staff (except Cooper) needs to go

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 06:12 PM) This game is kind of bumming me out. Some good players that will be gone soon because the team underperformed. I actually liked this team on paper. Don't be so sure. I'm still hoping Hahn decides to be a buyer and make a run for the playoffs. I think it can be done, but I'm tired of him wasting time. We need to make some nice additions now!!!!

I can't believe Phegley was left down in the minors as long as he was.....if he had been on the major league roster all season, I bet we'd be at least 2-3 games closer to the playoffs than we currently are.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 04:49 PM) But clearly if Hahn does very little and the Crain and doesnt come back to pitch before the deadline people round here will be mightily PO'ed. He's probably still deciding whether to be a buyer or a seller. Personally, I think we should be buyers.....but you can't wait forever to make a decision or you can't win either way.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 04:40 PM) Rios 3-3 trade him by the 8th inning. If we trade Rios, we have no chance to win the division.

Chris will get World Series MVP this season.....that will more than make up for the snub.

He helped us win home field advantage....that is worth a lot more than any All Star Game MVP. Now come on Hahn.....go out there and trade for some bats. Lets go out and make this victory mean something in the second half of the season!

Can someone tell me why we traded for this Casper guy? We need bats and he ain't got one.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 10:53 AM) FWIW, it would have been better if everyone would've just played along with the OP. Something like: Sure we have a chance! Let's trade for Harper, Trout and Puig! We'll be right back in this thing! If any of those three are on the market, lets go get em. Those are the type of impactful players that can help us win this division!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 06:13 PM) Are you being serious? Either way, it's really hard to get 4 or 5 hitters in an off season alone. With our farm system, won't happen. We could have had Manny for cheap...unfortunately, we let Texas beat us to the punch.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) Until you look at their Bataan Death March schedule the next 30-45 games. The only team we will be favored to beat might be the Minnesota Twins (at home). If we add 4 or 5 more quality bats to our lineup, we can be favored in many of these games. This week's series shows we already have Detroit's number and that's the most important challenge to conquer. There's no reason we can't win this division if Hahn goes out and picks up 4 or 5 guys who can hit .300 and drive in 50+ runs after the break.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 06:20 PM) Hi Hawk/Rongey! We are only 13 games behind Detroit and have won 67% of our games against them with the current roster. Get aggressive, add 4 or 5 new bats to the lineup, and 14 out of the next 16 is possbile. That would leave us only 1 game to make up elsewhere and there's plenty of time to do it. Buy! Buy! Buy! No white flag trades in 2013!!!

2 out of 3 against Detroit......lets make trades for a few big contributers and we can win 14 of the final 16 against them. The division can be ours, but we need to be more than buyers....we need to be smart buyers. Go get'em Hahn!

Anyone know if this will be available on DVD to purchase?
