Gavin Floyd: "lol this is easy" (Points at the other starters) "You guys suck :(" 1-2-3 Lets score some f***ing runs today

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 02:35 PM) He fell to the 7th because he had Boras tell all the teams he was looking for a 7 figure signing bonus. He was a definite 1st round talent who didn't produce like one. If he didn't have the huge bonus demands, he likely would have gone in the 2nd or 3rd. In fact, we drafted Jordan out high school before we even brought in John. So, there's no doubt we've liked Jordan for a while now. The guy has serious talent. He definitely has potential to become a Grady Sizemore type of player. But that's not gonna happen over night, it's gonna take a couple years. Also, it wasn't a late 7th round pick. We had the 8th pick in every round last year (besides the second round, we lost that when we signed Linebrink). a lot of that i didn't know about, thanks for clearing it up

Just putting this out there Do people here really think Jordan Danks is going to be some kind of stud MLB CF once he's brought up? This guy was, essentially, brought to the Sox because of his relation to John Danks right? I mean, I'm sure they thought he was decent based on his college stats but This was a 7th round (Late 7th round if i recall) pick, that every other team but the White Sox passed on for other players I'm not saying he will not be good, or great, but I think it's silly with all the talk about him being ready to contribute in a year or year and a half, given how deep in the draft he was selected

This fan is absolutely destroying Rongey's logic, and Rongey just keeps interrupting him to say "No I am listening, No I am listening" No Rongey, we know you're listening, but you continue to stop the guy from talking because you don't want to hear what he's telling you I normally agree with Rongey, but in this situation (Blame the guy who PUTS these players on the roster, not the players who are there because they were put there) If you're a player with a track record of success, some blame should be placed there, but there should be some blame placed on Williams as well, for thinking f***ing Lillibridge, Wise, and to an extent Anderson, Getz, Nix and Fields, are WORTHY MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL CONTRIBUTORS IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE. That's on you Kenny, and you need to f***ing admit your failure to your fans because this is really bulls***

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 01:54 PM) It's pretty obvious that Ozzie didn't want to call Beckham up. IMO it's not that he didn't want Beckham called up He feels that he's being handcuffed as a manger by Williams holding the reigns on who and who isn't on the roster Players like Wise, Betemit, Lillibridge, Whisler get called up to the big leagues from the minors ALL the time But when it's your most highly touted player that's brought to the bigleagues, the manager isn't really given the same type of control as he is over those other scrub-type players This is why Ozzie seems as though he doesn't like having Beckham in the lineup, it's not because of who Beckham is or his ability It's because Ozzie feels as if he's having his managerial duties cut short by a 3rd party (Kenny Williams)

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 01:00 PM) Gotta love Ozzie! For f***s sake.. my patience with Ozzie Guillen is growing thinner by the day i've been vocal on these forums about hating him (as a manager) but i've never said i wanted him fired now though, i probably wouldn't care too much if he was let go, or if he stepped down

haha, they're sitting beckham f***ing idiots, just f***ing idiots maybe they'll sub him in later, doubt it though

nah, we're gonna win today and Gordon will get his first major league hit

Kroeger is a corner OF

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 04:34 AM) Dye can't play tomorrow so we will see both Brian and Wise again. Let's hope Brian won't play himself out of the CF role, because right now it looks like Scott will be our CF when Q comes back. can't play tomorrow? it was a 2-day suspension and yesterday was game 1, today is game 2

why all of the sudden does our pitching suck? they were good for so long and then, kablooey! last 4 games 5 runs, 5 runs, 7 runs, 6 runs Be the stopper tomorrow Gavin

Ozzie said like one sentence to the media, and walks off the podium hilarious, f*** you ozzie

I feel bad for Rongey, the calls tonight are going to be beyond what most human beings consider thoughtless, and will be of epic proportions and damn score web feed not switching to the f***ing post-game after the game ends, get rid of these f***ing interns that suck

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 09:18 PM) Outhustled...this team just goes through the motions, and makes losing look so easy. look at our pitching over these terrible games when we were kicking other teams asses, our pitching was great now look at it vs the A's, didn't those 3 losses end up having the A's score at least 5 runs each game? look at tonight, Cleveland has 6 runs when the offense dies, the pitching dies, they're going hand in hand right now

are we the least fundamentally sound offense, and possibly the most flawed offense in all of baseball?

Nice start for Gordon. 0-6, with a strikeout All kidding aside, he's being too anxious up there, let the game come to you This team will be at best a 4th place team once the season ends, that's my prediction I have a hard time believing CQ will come back and just dominate, he'll probably end up being average

Indians broadcasters laughing at BA's weak ass f***ing AB, they sounded just baffled at him swinging at the first pitch there they are also discussing our pathetic XBH power we've exhibited this year, last in the AL in doubles, we're not even hitting for 2 bases, let alone homeruns

if you're not gonna hit, you field your position, if you don't do that, you sit the f*** down on the bench

Danks has no release point, hasn't had a release point or sound mechanics for that matter, for about 5-6 starts now That's on Cooper, that's his f***ing job to fix that

Nice. We're just a trash team getting beat by better trash at this point

hi dotel

after 60 games we'll be sub .500 and there will be people who think we have a shot with the way our division has been so far this year, they'll probably be right

This team is a f***ing joke, nice pitch mark.

Fields DH today, Slayer 3B

am I reading too much into the message this is sending, whether or not it's an intentional message or not, could this mean that because KW isn't afraid of starting beckham's clock this soon, that he has no plans of letting this team dry up and rot for the next few seasons, and that he actually plans on spending this off-season to keep the team competitive? i can't imagine him doing this, and then running out a AA/AAA team over the next 3 years
