god the threads are getting dumber by the second. Breathe, relax, and go post on a damn bears forum or something people, jesus

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 01:29 AM) This will go down as KW's worst deal ever simply because Pena is so bad and Allen actually has an upside. In the world of "massive overreactions because I'm upset the team is losing", yes, yes it will

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:17 PM) If Kenny actually got something for Contreras, I applaud him. If he was able to get rid of Jose, why couldn't he get rid of Linebrink...? there are about 10 million reasons why

QUOTE (b-Rye @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:10 PM) 20+ LOSSES. Tigers, Jays, RedSox have all done it. They have no place on the team. Bad contract for bad aged talent. They can't keep DLing these guys to get them in the minors. Add Colon to that list to. Even if Sox won half those games, they would be over .500 now and in a pennant chase. you realize we still have to pay the contracts right? They don't just vanish.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) I can't say for sure of course, but don't you agree the move now looks stupid at best? The guy hasn't pitched for us, we gave up some young pitchers who might have fared better in relief roles than the scum we've put out there. The gamble was we'd be in the pennant race and he'd be the September boost we need. I hate to second guess too much but the gamble failed. We're not in the race and his presence matters not. The other guys? They might have helped. We gave up too many bodies for a guy on the DL. Yeah, KW should have known he was gonna take a line ball off the elbow. WHAT AN IDIOT!!!!!! jeesszzuzuzzzzzz

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 09:01 PM) Move Lexi back to second, get a cheap veteran ss for defensive purposes mostly. Pray Beckham starts hitting again and leave him at third. Lexi and Getz are not a playoff caliber combination. If all we have is starting pitching, we better get defense behind it. Also, Rios is a good defender, but try to trade him. He's not a good fit in Chicago. Put our best young prospects at middle reliever. I'd rather lose with youth than guys like Linebrink, Pena, Williams, Dotel. They all SUCK!!! hahahahha

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) Typical Sox case of Murphy's Law regarding Peavy. We acquire him thinking we can keep it close until September and bam we go 3-3 versus KC and the O's at home, which was such a choke job, then play predictably bad (in terms of the bottom line wins and losses) on the road trip from hell. There is no reason to pitch Peavy the rest of the season. Why not just rest him and Buehrle for that matter, too. What is the purpose? Thats the spirit! Lets just swap AAA with the major league roster then. Wouldn't wanna risk injury on anyone.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 27, 2009 -> 01:52 AM) I googled "fired hitting coach" "Struggling to score, the Indians made a major change following yesterday's 6-5 loss to the White Sox -- they fired hitting coach Eddie Murray, a Hall of Famer who was in his fourth year in the position ". "The Mariners' prolonged slump took its first major victim Monday when hitting coach Jeff Pentland was fired and replaced by Lee Elia." "The Chicago Cubs fired hitting coach Gerald Perry after 2½ seasons on Sunday in an attempt to spark a sputtering offense." "The Padres have fired first-year hitting coach Jim Lefebvre. The Padres rank last in MLB in runs and batting average . ..." "The Mets, seeking to inject some life into a struggling offense, have fired their hitting coach." "The Philadelphia Phillies fired hitting coach Richie Hebner on Monday, while keeping five other coaches for the 2002 season. Greg Gross, manager Larry Bowa's bench coach, replaces Hebner. The team will hire a new bench coach. The Phillies tied for ninth in the National League in team batting average. " It's what teams do when the hitters aren't hitting. Walker should go. lotta world series victories followed those moves too

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 09:29 PM) It's not his fault if they are hitting bad. Is it his doing if they are hitting well? nope

yep, I'm sure our lineup full of veteran hitters and great hitting youngsters know absolutely nothing about baseball an blindly follow what Walker says.

QUOTE (Hanky Panky @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:06 PM) Looks like it could be Hudson. His Facebook status, "Can't WAIT to come home this weekend!." Then one of his friends says, "Hopefully there will be a good turnout for your professional homecoming. I'll be there. Not too shabby to get to see you and Jake Peavy pitch in the same weekend, if that is still indeed the plan!" Hudson is from Virginia. AAA is playing in Norfolk, Virginia this weekend.

QUOTE (RibbieRubarb @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 04:49 PM) I always hope, but it will never happen, that the posters who say the Season is OVER and this team is DEAD put their "money where their mouths" are... Stop posting. Stay away from the White Sox since there is no reason to watch them or talk about them until the off-season. The rest of us will engage in non-hyperbolic discussions about an underachieving team in a very winnable division. Knowing full well that once playoffs are reached anything could happen. Thank you and I hope to see you back in in time for the Winter Meetings. Until then have a great Aug/Sept away from the White Sox. Did you steal this from me? I posted the exact same thing last year around this time

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 12:16 AM) We're not "dead" yet. But start to measure us up for the body bags because we will be by the time that road trip is over. Yeah since we can't beat any good teams from the AL east....wait, right?

Wait, i thought the sox were done for the season?

our paper never had a Cy Young winner, 2 ROY candidates/winners, MVP candidate, and whatever Rios turns into.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) Cutler is going to have about the 30th best WR group in the NFL throughout the regular season too though, which is a concern. You can only do so much throwing it to Olsen, Clark, and Forte. Throwing to Olsen/Forte/Clark and the Run game with Forte opens up the passing game.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 12:05 AM) Well, I would think Ozzie's horrendous managerial decisions speak for themselves. It just amuses me when someone attacks a manager for a dumbass decision, there's always some person to make some rhetorical, sarcastic comment without even TRYING to be intelligent. Sorry if my attack seemed counterproductive. Kinda like what you do everytime?

ohh this one should incite a solid meltdown mode of this site haha

Why does Everybody Put 23456 breaks in between each point

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 02:17 PM) No. Wagner missed half of last year and all of this year and will not qualify for compensation. He has a $1M buyout on a $10.5M option that is definitely not getting exercised from a team that is already paying KRod and Putz. The Mets are way out of the race and if he's healthy, expect him to be traded because there is always a demand for good power lefties. So basically there's not a chance in hell he clears waivers to get through the NL to us...

so...is this just a pipe dream or does this story have some legs? Whats his waiver status? And if he is this good, why wouldn't the Mets just keep him?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:31 PM) Why is it hilarious. .500 teams are tough to follow. We basically lose every other day and there's always a goat in a loss. We lose a lot. The team is a flirt. Its like everyone here has ADD or something. We're gonna lose games, lots of them. We're also going to win games, lots of them. There's no reason to have a panic attack and demand that the entire team be dismantled after every damn loss. This isn't football, there are 10x more games. Quit giving yourself ulcers after every stupid loss.

Sox lose - "is this season over?" "this.team.is.dead" next day.. Sox win - "so what's our playoff rotation gonna look like" this place is hilarious.

nice....although I'd recommend not watching "partying with pornstars" at work

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 07:09 PM) I think this has a lot of Jay Cutler deal written over it. People think Cutler's overrated, somewhat of a douche. People think Rios is overrated, expensive, and also somewhat of a douche. Bears have never had a QB as good as Cutler. Sox haven't had a CF like Rios since Aaron Rowand. Most Bears fans love the Cutler deal, everybody else around the country seems to hate it, not knowing the circumstances of the Bears. Most Sox fans love the Rios deal, everybody else around the country says he sucks and is expensive, not taking into account he's only 28 and the White Sox have a terrible OF that needs defensive help. People are starting to turn Bears+ on the deal after seeing how pathetic Neckbeard is
