Unfortunately there are too many guys on this team that suck at baseball. Probably 20%. Each day 1 of 25 players take a turn in the mental meltdown game.

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 09:57 PM) Now, I could be totally wrong with these names. But, to change the culture of this franchise, which IMHO is needed, these are good places to start. That would also involve getting rid of Kenny.

Someone made the mistake of giving this guy a nice contract based on potential instead of what's on the field. Maybe the scouts were wrong.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 12:29 AM) It sounds like Rios is in Ozzie's doghouse. I wonder where this leads, as we all know that you don't get out once you're in. They'll get Wilson Betamit back.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 11:32 PM) The pitchers busted their ass, but that was a really poor display of effort by our entire offense tonight. That final play was even worse when watching the replay. Lillibridge had no idea the guy might try to score. You might as well copy/paste the bold in wordpad for the rest of the season so you won't have to type it all of the time. Definitely the theme for 2011. Lillibridge should know better.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) Note to our pitchers: don't throw Pena anything to hit this weekend What is with guys with the last name of Pena always hurt the Sox. The one on the team does enough damage already.

QUOTE (hawksox13 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) I want Viciedo up just as much as everyone else. But because the Sox (for some unknown reason) didn't bring him up a month or so ago, it really does make the most sense at this point to hold off for five more days. At that point it won't cost the Sox one of his arbitration years. I'm not saying he shouldn't have been brought up sooner, just saying because they waited this long, might as well wait five more days and then pull the trigger. That makes sense. Plus he switched to playing the outfield.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) Gotta love having two of the s***tiest hitters in all of baseball getting a ton of ABs on our team. We might as well get rid of the DH and let some of our pitchers get ABs. They can't be much worse. That would be my only reason to get Carlos Zambrano.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 01:39 PM) Cause I, the paying fan, want to know how my Sox are doing? Why wouldn't they open the books? Would you care if the top dollar ticket was $30? I doubt most people would care.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 09:10 AM) im really not concerned with Viciedos speed vs Pierres speed, because Viciedo is not going to be leading off. As long as he can field the balls hit to him, im ok with him Hey why not. He could be the Sox version of Sorriano.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 09:10 AM) As long as he can field the balls hit to him, im ok with him That's probably why he's not up here yet, along with not repeating the "Gray" mistake.

http://www.twincities.com/twins/ci_1835466...amp;forced=true Probably a heated discussion over hunting and fishing. It's always interesting to see the Twins fan's perspective. It's not any different than Chicago. Gardenhire is not god. One person believes Mauer is trying to get Gardenhire fired.

Let's hope Dunn has a great 2012. This isn't the first Sox player to have a really cruddy year. PK had 2 of them. I remember the fan base wasn't very warm to him either.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) MLB has just had 10% of the league go through bankruptcy. I don't know how that is fine. I didn't understand that either. MLB doesn't really dent the cash flow like the NFL, NBA. Plus attendance is down almost everywhere.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 11:52 AM) Every day I come to this site hoping to see a thread that says a real change has been made to the composition of this team. So disappointing. Unfortunately real changes need to be made to MLB. Who would have thought 30 years ago someone would say the Dodgers would be bankrupt? They need to find an alternative to guaranteed contracts.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 01:04 PM) My big thing is when you are hitting under .200 and you have that whole side of the infield, at some point, dont' you just try to beat the shift a bit and do something decent. Heck, anything to give you some sort of confidence. I always wanted to ask Jim Thome that.

I seem to recall from last year the Sox had trouble hitting the Nat'ls pitching.

13 Ks for the Sox staff=impressive.

I think Ozzie needs to lay off the Suicide Squeez. It will start getting predictable. Them we will know the why the word suicide is in it.

I thought this game was suppose to be on WGN later. I go to the Trib site and ready Danks injured/Peavy in for relief and I thought is this some kind of joke? BTW, good numbers for Peavy. This 6 man rotation keeps looking like a good idea since one of them will get hurt. It will be the catch 22 before the trade deadline.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) 4 unearned runs thanks to that brainless play from our "gold glove" SS This is where the Sox meet epic fail when it comes to being a good team. When one wets the bed they all do. They need to overcome mistake.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) Racist. I saw Jackson vs. the DBs. We were impressed by his speed on the bases.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) Ozzie ALWAYS leaves Santos in too long. When will he learn?? Gotta find out if the kid is a mental midget. He's looking for like Jeckyll and Hyde.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) I took it myself... She's laying right next to me. No seriously though it's just some random internet chick. No, because she is laying next to me and I wondered how you got her picture. It's a nice pic.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:08 PM) I'm telling you the White Sox are passed due for a walk off... BTW, where did you get that picture as your avatar?
