I thought last year was the worst year I've seen by umpires calling Sox games until this year, this is by far the worst, and that first pitch to Beckham was just awful, my god. That's something that has to get cleaned up as the year goes on, even yesterday there was a check-swing strikeout against Konerko that wasn't even f***ing CLOSE to being a swing Oh, and I think the 1B umpire yesterday that called Konerko out on that check swing is the guy behind the plate tonight Yeah, he needs to be talked to from his higher-ups, this is uncalled for

At least shutout #10 can wait 2-1! That bases loaded walk bites us in the ass big right now

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) Hawk and Stone are begging for someone in the dugout or on the field to get ejected. can they eject our whole dugout?

welcome back soxtalk and welcome back shutouts, #10 after tonight

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 03:57 PM) I can't believe I actually saw somebody say "f*** Buehrle" yesterday. I don't remember who it was and I'm not going to look it up so I can dime them out, but come on. There's too many posts like that lately, it's pretty embarrassing. it was me, no shame here, ill admit i get perhaps way too frustrated when we play poorly or guys arent playing well

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) I'm sorry, but this post is just completely false. Our system is in much better shape now, and people don't show up to see people from the 2005 team. They show up because our fan base has grown immensely over the last 5 years. I wasn't making a point about people wanting to see the 2005 roster. I was making a point about people wanting to see players they recognize and that are good players. Firesale or "Youth Movement" would include a large roster of unproven players that will take at least a couple years to get decent, and we WOULD see a sharp decline in ticket sales putting up a losing record for two years or more

This team is going to be in bad bad shape over the next 5 years at least. They're going to lose a s***load of money off ticket sales after the whole 2005 WS team is completely off the roster, it's going to be very Marlins-like in the stands

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) If we lose those two we're 7.5 out. It's not 10, but it's far enough to know that we're not good enough to compete in even a s***ty division. we're going to be 2 games (at best) below .500 after SIXTY GAMES into the season, that's a huge indicator as to what you can expect from this club IMO

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) Getz Anderson Nix Fields Linebrink Wise If I woke up tomorrow and these guys were gone I would be a very happy man Agree 100% Unfortunately Ozzie thinks bench players should split playing time at 50% with everyday players

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:28 PM) We f***ing suck. Obviously they need to fire Walker

lol worst team in baseball, i can't imagine having to watch this team as a non-fan, they'd probably turn the channel after 1 inning

Chris Getz is soon to be AAA fodder I think

I hope Jermaine isn't hurt

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:18 PM) Hoverboards for umpires!!! I would totally charge the field and steal an umpires hoverboard

Sox hitters will go 1-2-3 next inning, you can put that on the board

LOLinebrink

Fields chatting to Polanco about joining the Tigers, Polanco laughs

wow, called him safe then out f*** these umpires in the asshole

bases loaded RBI is a walk the last time we had the bases loaded and got an RBI, it was from you guessed it a walk

he gawn! lol, i don't blame jermaine though, he has like 1 at-bat against that guy and we can't hit guys we've only seen once or something, i made that up

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:55 PM) BAHHHHHHHHHHHH. RIGHT f***IN THERE. UGH as rongey would say, TBS

Bases loaded with 0 outs, are you ready for epic failure? I can't imagine the outrage on these boards afterwards, I'm gonna try and calm myself here and hope detroit like bobbles a ball or something

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) Yeah cause Buehrle's sucked so hard this year. Yeah cause I said he's sucked hard this year

Basically what you can expect over and over this year, and probably next year and however many other years Ozzie is managing, is to constantly bring in the wrong guys to face the wrong hitters, because he's too stubborn and too stupid to realize his mistakes Just unacceptable, and unbelievable Ozzie just f***ing leave, please

Where are the Ozzie defenders? Where are you guys? Explain how what he did there with Dotel is remotely intelligent? Thornton should've been brought in to ace Granderson and end the inning, period
