Rios benched where he belongs! De Aza in CF..., YES!

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) plenty of time to reach doublefigures. I raise you. He hits into a double play before the night is over.

And it's only the end of the 3rd inning?

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 02:45 AM) That's true....forgot about Alexei. I just love it when Alexei steps in the box and leans back into a reclining position with the bat resting on his shoulder and takes the first pitch. He doesn't even pretend to watch it. I think it was in the Sunday loss to the Cubs at Wrigley, he did that with the bases jammed. Then he waved at two consecutive sliders to go down in 3 pitches for the third out. WTF? Sometimes these guys are just stealing money. It's easy to see a difference between a team like the Twins and the Sox and it shows in the Wins / Losses. Twins are serious and here to take care of business and focus on getting the job done. They actually have discipline at the plate and execute. The blame has to be on Sox management. This should not be tolerated and heads must roll. It was nice to go to a KC Cougars game recently and see players busting their ass and actually trying. This is not to rip on core guys like AJ, MB & JP. It's obvious that Pauly is very concerned and is bothered by the current state of affairs. Some of these other guys are just, well...., Alex Rios.

QUOTE (soxfan-kwman @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 10:19 AM) Look at his numbers, he has no consistency what so ever. He hits home runs in the first half in some years and not in other years. His average before all star break is better in the first half some years and better in the second half in some years. One year his average is the same in the first half as the second half. He is not a thinker, at all. After reading the trib article about how he doesn't want to hear what anybody has to say, I can see why Walker can't do anything with him. Rios may be off to a bad first half, but at least he can actually make contact. Rios batting low .214 is bad, but he can still get the average up to .270's. On top of not wanting to change things up urging wise, he is really frustrated and his confidence is shot. They need to send him to the minors so that he can see the ball being hit in a live game, otherwise he'll be down to .100 by the end of the summer. Maybe even lower. At this point the consistent striking out is the only thing he can do. Maybe intentionally walking Mauer for now on would be the best thing to combat the twins. Maybe while the Twins are in town Dunn and Rios can study Mauer's at bats to see how it's done, as they obviosly don't have a clue. Oh that's right, I heard Dunn doesn't put in any extra work. How pathetic.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 11:18 PM) Unless you quoted the wrong poster, I don't read any of that in Caulfield's post. He is right you know. It is nearly impossible to dump those salaries without divesting the minors and sending big piles of cash.. See Paint It Black's post. Anyway, I suppose we need to swallow hard and accept it. If the twins biatch slap us again in this series it is over. CSN put up a statistic today which had the Cubs and the Sox as the number one and number two worst records against division opponents. If Dunn and a couple of others don't snap out of this it's time to think about football. If the Twins pass us in the standings it is over for 2011. We might as well punt. William's luck has run out. The Manny Ramirez deal was it for me.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 11:04 PM) Back it down and stop the insults. Sorry, guess I should be ok with being called a "derp newbie" even though I've been here 3 years longer than the poster who made that insult and crapped all over this thread. Just wonderful. Can we get back to Dunn being the worst I've ever seen at the MLB level?

Paint It Black - "The recent Adam Dunn derp posts from the newbies are about as equal to tea party comments you see on news articles. Not creative, no substance, and lot's of exclamation points." The FAIL is strong with this post. Been a Sox fan for 38 years pal. As far as the Tea Party is concerned, not interested in your libtard comments either. Have a nice day.

Adam DUNNG needs to shave his legs and wear a skirt next time he goes to the plate. .163 average is still trending lower. This guy is a nightmare and he is killing my team. And Alex "the loaf" Rios hitting .214!!!! Blow this thing up!

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:41 PM) Yep. Clean house...Ozzie and the whole frickin' coaching staff, for starters. Then, start getting rid of Pena, Rios (whatever it takes), etc., etc. I only disagree on a few points. Don Cooper stays. Harold Baines stays. Cox stays. KW and the rest have to go. Hope for Change in 2011.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:07 PM) Then don't watch. No, you don't have to put up with being a White Sox fan. Go be a Giants fan. Then be a fan of who ever wins the World Series this year too. I don't watch. Too pathetic. This team is a death march at the plate. I go watch the local JUCO team instead. They play the game with energy. Plus, they can hit, throw and catch the ball too! Highest payroll in the division and last place... HERE WE COME. Wow, worst record (most losses) in the majors too. Woooooo Hoooooooo!

Same ol' same ol' once again..... Will Greg Walker ever be fired or do I have to put up with this crap the rest of my life? Slumps on the White Sox include 90% of the line up. They go on longer and deeper than any other team. They happen over and over, year after year. This team is an embarassment. When will people start being held accountable for the crap that is the White Sox the last X number of years? I done with this team for the year. They SUCK hard. They SUCK long. They SUCK all too often. And another thing, they can't catch a damn baseball either. And don't get me started on K. Williams, luckiest SOB ever and he jacked with the line up of a WS Championship team. That's it for now. SoxFan72

When do Sox fans get to give Kenny Williams the ultimatum??

My previous thread about Gregg Walker's employment was locked..... So here is my positive thread topic to follow on the comment about how Don Cooper has escaped my scrutiny. To this I can say the following...... John Danks Gavin Floyd Matt Thornton Bobby Jenks All top line pitchers reclaimed from the scrap heap vs. the agonizing pain that comes from watching White Sox hitting over the last SEVERAL years. And for Coop, I've personally met him. He has coached my son. I've talked with him numerous times over the last several years. He let me try on his world series ring. I believe in his philosophy, his ability to coach and the man himself. Greg Walker? Not so much... Thank you and that is all.

Seriously..... Look at the batting averages. This team is a joke.
