QUOTE (harkness @ May 29, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) There isn't one person who thinks it's just the manager. The manager is just one part of the problem... really don't see what it hurts to try something different. this team has been mentally weak for 4 years... they collapse in key moments - it's what they do. Ever since Kenny was the GM.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 29, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) All you can do is laugh at these buffoons. Mark I can't. My gut has been sore from the other years of laughing. Many changes need to be made and my loyalty is challenged. Unfortunately I can't go all through the organization and punch them all in the nuts.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 29, 2016 -> 03:05 PM) Yes, I think losing 1st place in horrific fashion and reclaiming it the next day would help our confidence. Glad someone gets it. Hopefully Sale can beat the Royals, Ventura's managing, and a metal midget pen. That's a lot of face.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) Buddy Bell will be 65 in August. He never played for the Sox. He was a failure as a big-league manager. No reason for any loyalty. He needs to go -- ASAP. Our player development of position players in embarrassingly bad. I'm starting to feel that way as a fan. It's like Cubans waiting for the Castro regime to end. No hope except new ownership and there is no guarantee that the incompetent people would be removed.

QUOTE (SSS.com is our nerdy side @ May 29, 2016 -> 02:33 AM) bring back Ozzie Ozzie brings back Buehrle. just for fun, Buehrle brings back AJ. Paulie bench coach. Sox kick ass again and it's fun again. what we have right now is just pathetic and the arrow pointing wrong direction. It's just repeating the same recipe for failure.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 29, 2016 -> 08:00 AM) The Sox haven't been swept this year, and Sale is going for his 10th win...what could go wrong? That alone could create a 30 page thread. My optimism is totally gone unless Sale pitches but even Robin can find a way to turn that into a loss.

I HATE this team. I want to punch them in the nuts.

Maybe the league needs to investigate the team for gambling. Is it really possible for a team to lose games like this?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) He hasn't fixed much of anything in ages. But Shark wasn't a guy who was supposed to need any fixing. His agent duped people into thinking he was an ace.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) We are in firsr place still Don't worry we got Robin working on that. It will be over soon. Be patient.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) He doesn't need to go, but he should only be used in low leverage situations until he proves otherwise. So that would be when the Sox have a 20 run lead. It spells mental midget. There must be some guys on the farm who will never make it that could do the same thing. Sounds like a wasted roster spot or everyone gets a trophy.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Renteria, book it He's already settled in as a Sox. That worries me.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) Do players respect him or take advantage of him? If you have ever read Lip's older post or on the other site he's on, rumor has it players like it here because there is no pressure. That's from an inside source.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) If this season ends up looking worse where we're likely not contending, I wouldn't mind some young guys coming up to get some at bats and experience the rest of the way (Coats in a corner spot-Melky DH, Davidson up to get at bats between DH,1B,3B, more Saladino at short (not quite ready to call up Anderson personally), call up Kevan Smith while releasing Avila because: why not?). That's equally depressing. Few have faith in the farm system.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 26, 2016 -> 08:56 AM) Apparently Cooper or no one on the staff picked up on it. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs...p-some-pitches/ May explain why he's 'suddenly' doing well in San Francisco this season. Sounds like what happened with David Wells and Nick Swisher as soon as they left the organization. Mark I would side with him going back to the NL has more to do with it. Sox do not have luck with veteran NL pitchers.

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) Just the idea that Jones did end up pitching in the 7th, but only after the lead was gone. I'm mesmerized by the stupidity involved in that thinking. He's a mental midget as well. Too often when the lead is blown someone in the mental midget dept. will pad the loss.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) That April looks like fool's gold. Honestly it is hard to judge a team after the first month since guys are still finding their groove and getting in the swing of things (no pun intended). They found their groove. You are seeing it. No clutch in any aspect of the game unless you add choking to that list. Scouting and developing seems to adore mental weakness.

QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) Yeah, not much else to go with here. This isn't Robin, it's the roster. To improve you will have to change both.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2016 -> 07:08 PM) BUMPED JUST FOR ROBIN'S IDIOTIC LINE-UP No Eaton. Sands hitting 5th. Rollins actually hitting down in the order when the only pitchers he can hit are left-handed. If our manager thinks so little of Garcia, maybe the GM needs to make a change and actually find a hitter he does believe in. I we could only change those names to Albers and Puke.

I hate this team. I want to punch them in the nuts.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) Except when you predict disaster every single time Albers and Duke enter and are right more than 75% of the time. Have to TRY something different. I don't care if Duke's getting paid $5 million or whatever this season and next to get out lefties. He's not getting the job done for a pretty good stretch now. Tigers are on their way to being 2 1/2 games back. +1

At one time in MLB guys use to get their asses kicked for mental midget performances.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 27, 2016 -> 08:54 PM) It's amazing our hitting coach still has a job (not saying it's entirely his fault, but coaches don't usually hang around through bad times). They could go through 70 hitting coaches and produce the same result.

Albers should be released. No more Tony Pena clones.

So let me guess Ventura managed the team to another loss via the mental midget pen.
