NOOooooooooooooooooo! Get someone from the outside. No more dogs returning to their vomit.

QUOTE (Lillian @ May 2, 2015 -> 05:25 PM) While it may be too early to become sellers, themselves, it's certainly makes little sense for the Sox to be buyers. If they became sellers I think that erodes the fan base even more. What good would getting another team's prospects when this organization doesn't seem to be good at developing baseball players.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2015 -> 10:13 PM) Notice how we never blame the hitting coach now that the hated Walker is gone? I don't even know who our hitting coach is to tell you the truth. It's all cliche. This current hitting coach should be getting roasted over the coals as much as Walker was. There's probably a 25 man roster in Chicago that doesn't know him either.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 2, 2015 -> 06:58 PM) Who cares about his work this year? He's been with the Sox 27 years. One month doesnt mean anything. Extremely successful track record despite given no payroll to work with. Cooper absolutely deserves to finish out the year as manager, and make a decision from there, at the very least. The makeup is bulls***. Ozzie survived long enough here and he's way worse than Coop when it comes to that. It's actually helpful for a team with 0 national media exposure otherwise. I thinkin that's what they don't need. Get someone from the outside.

When you have a Tyler Flowers starting on your team, you need a lot more talent to compensate to win a division. There is nothing he can make up for being below average. When some guys can't hit they can still make up for it in defense. I still don't get how the names change but the offense production is still the same. I guess you blame that on your advance scouts. Recruiting someone for the NL to be a DH may be another fail. It's not a rocket science to realize both leagues are different in play.

4/30: White Sox at Twins, no crowd due to Age of Ultron
kitekrazy replied to Quin's topic in 2015 Season in Review
Smarj and Sale must think this is their way of serving suspensions by being no shows on the mound. -
I'd trade him to the Cardinals for some scouts, execs or people from the instructional leagues. They seem to do a lot of things right in baseball.
-
I think the Sox have better chances of winning when they have the lead after the 6th. That seems so much better than last year. Nice to have a stud closer.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 11:37 AM) Cooper is starting to piss me off. Usually when a coach has nothing else he starts using the whole "it's not easy" BS. Another thing is that this was a division game against a rival and a high leverage spot -- a MULLIGAN??? GMAFB. Don't insult our intelligence. Why is Hahn the only person in this org that owns up to mistakes? He owned up to the replay mistake even though he could have easily thrown the guy he didn't hire under the bus. How about Cooper says "you know it was a tough spot and with our other LOOGY option unavailable we did what we had to do. It was a tough spot but we felt it was the best option". I'm not even saying this was a "mistake" but take some of the heat off your players man without resorting to the whole "if it was easy you bums in section 103 would be out here" crap. You'd think with 5k showing up last night the first line of defense wouldn't be "it's hard being a major leaguer". No s***. This is why Cooper in most organization will never be a manager. His attitude is "us vs the fans". He and Ozzie started this even in 2005. When you are bad at baseball don't attack the fans.

Being a fan and watching this organization is not easy either. Baseball is my favorite sport and there is not a close second. After 40+ years of being a Sox fan I not sure I have that kind of endurance any more. In the 80s-90s it seemed there was progression now it's the opposite. Stupid runs deep in this organization.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 09:21 PM) Lousy game. Sox don't believe in momentum or winning streaks it appears again. No carryover from last night. Would be nice to win this series at least. Team gets a chance to do that tomorrow. That supports my unproven theory that they are mentally weak. -

I'm not a fan of taking a slugger from the NL and converting them to an AL DH. It's too early to tell but they made that mistake before. -

QUOTE (DashFan @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 08:15 PM) Robin Ventura had two jobs today: 1. Give away a game to a division opponent. 2. Destroy any confidence Carlos Rodon may have came into the majors with. Done & done. Lamont did this to Ruffcorn and Baldwin. He made them face the Indians when 3 of their guys could out hit this whole Sox lineup. -

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) Guess we're just gonna use this game as the Rodon intro to the bigs, and not care about trying to win. Robin's managing for the future...like in Sept. when they will be well out of it again. -
4/20- White Sox vs Cleveland Indians
kitekrazy replied to Jose Abreu's topic in 2015 Season in Review
The AL Central is a tough division this year. The Sox don't have the talent to compete. -
QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) Yea but you must be surprised at how sloppy they area? I mean, it's been a f***ing horror show of mental errors. It's one thing to lose and play a good clean game. It's another to lose and make 2-3 head scratching errors. I think the mental part of the game is not required in this organization.

4/17 - White Sox vs Tigers
kitekrazy replied to YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES!'s topic in 2015 Season in Review
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) This was talked about ad naseum during his rehab process. They were trying to teach him the Maggs slide so he didn't hurt himself. Think of it this way. What hurts more, losing this one game, or losing Avi for 120 games last year? It isn't about being a (and seriously can we get with the 21st century and stopping using female derogatory terms as insults?) "p****", it is about being smart enough to realize that 1 game If he dives and misses, game over. -
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 12:34 AM) The Sox poor start is what makes me think he may be up here sooner than believed. How many games can they continue to burn with Danks/Noesi out there? If the Sox were 6-2 or 5-3 right now, I could see them saying we have no reason to call him up. But as it stands, our SP minus a start from Sale and a start from Q have been pretty mediocre to bad. Yep. I'm waiting for the former Cub to live up to the hype. He's the one you need to worry about the most.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:12 PM) South Side Sox @SouthSideSox 1m1 minute ago White Sox relievers have now struck out the side in 1-2-3 innings twice as many times as they did all of last year. Sometimes I think having a guy like that makes the others better just be presence.

I don't know if I would want to expose the kids to the poor defense and stupid baseball that is going on.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:19 PM) Too bad he can't be like LaRussa or Maddon who got to .500 after 5 years. Bobby Cox took 11 years. Joe Torre took 16, Well it's good to know the Cito Gaston as Sox manager finally died out. His name was thrown around before Ozzie took over. Interesting he never got a manager job again.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) why limit it? Can we get back to the game? This is what White Sox "baseball" does to people.

Did the Sox ever win more than three in a row last year?
