QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ May 2, 2011 -> 11:27 PM) This whole organization is full of losers, chokers, and softies, and being that AJ is not one of them, it certainly makes sense that he'd have some enemies right now. There is zero reason for a team with this much talent to pack in it, night after night, series after series. This is the same s*** they did this time last year, only Kenny and Ozzie could be blamed for it that time. Now, there's no one to blame but the sorry ass players themselves. It's not September yet, boys, and these aren't the Twins. You don't have to tuck tail yet! Maybe Kenny needs to send off everyone who has a problem with AJ and fire Ozzie's ass too. Change the culture and just start this whole damn thing over. Please, Mark Buehrle, go somewhere else and win. You too AJ, and same with Paulie. John Danks - what a great call on not signing that extension! Money aside, why would anyone with your abilities want to play here? Go make some cash and win some games elsewhere. This team is 100% capable of not only righting this ship but trouncing those pretenders atop the division, winning the division, making the playoffs, and winning a WS. The talent is definitely there. But this AJ hating s*** is exactly why they'll do nothing but founder once again when the going really gets tough. This is a rant, but I mean Jesus, it's like half the noteworthy and conversation inducing team related events occur over Twitter posts by a Guillen family member. That's what we get as Sox fans instead of a baseball season, Guillen family Twitter drama. And choking. And now hating on AJ?! Really?! If you're a player and AJ's behavior is pissing you off then how about you take out yout tampon and let your balls drop and take it out on the field of play instead of confiding in some dbag Score host. Ugh. I'm done now. This is an awesome post.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) How about we just pave the field and roll out the monster trucks? Forget this baseball stuff entirely. That was so hilarious. What we have witnessed, do we dare call it baseball?

QUOTE (zenryan @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) I really dont care anymore about baseball or this team. Baseball is now where the NBA stands, I'll watch the playoffs or if I'm betting a particular game. It isnt worth my time or energy to care for such a crap product. This team sucks so what is to gain by following the PBP or watching the games I do get on WGN? I'm really lost as a fan now. There was a time when the Sox were by far my favorite team even though football is my favorite sport to watch. I would run my cell battery dead watching the PBP every night, even if we were way out of it in August/September in the early 2000s. Now I dont even bother to follow it on my cell. Tonight I turned on espn.com from my cell in the 8th inning and I laughed. I kinda was rooting for the no-hitter because I thought it would be more entertaining to read this site after that then if the Sox were able to come back to beat the Twins. I even tried watching a Rays game in hopes that would energize my interest in baseball. I was thinking that they are somewhat local( only 75 minutes from me) and they are on tv every night now that FSN has expanded its Florida market (up until about 4 years ago, the Rays were shown about 1-2x a week in Orlando) but I was still bored. I know I'll still look at the standings and highlights and I will def. watch the playoffs but I think I need a break from baseball. It is sad I'm saying this because it's only May and we're still 3+ months away from football. It's going to be a long summer... I moved out to AZ in the Summer and I don;'t have the interest in sports like I use to. I'm a Colts fan and that team was so bad I didn't even watch them on TV. So my hopes lied in the Sox and Blackhawks. The Blackhawks put on a tease. So I don't get to watch them on Nat'l TV. Now the Sox are a disappointment. There's no way in hell I could sit through a Phoenix Cardinal game. I've turned on a Diamondback's game only to watch an inning or two. It really wouldn't bother me if the NFL is put on hold next season.

I feel lucky. I'm out of the viewing area so I don't get a chance to see how bad they really are.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 3, 2011 -> 09:43 PM) not really, what do u expect, when your team signs crap fa's and spends no money. the sox actually spent money and have good players but..its not happening Of course the one's they keep that aren't any good, Kenny tries to trade for 'em.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) In the grand scheme of things, it's hard to imagine how KW will keep his job. It's his 128 million dollar team that is underachieving, and he's put the organization into a situation where competing the next few years seems a longshot. He would be the first on my list, then coaches and scouts. Even if they fire Walker, you will only see a temporary change. This team just seems to have guys who can't or wont make adjustments at the plate.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:08 PM) The Sox are one sorry ass baseball team. Once the Bulls get swept by Atlanta it's going to be a long dreadful summer sports wise in Chicago. I'm still pissed at the Blackhawks.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:04 PM) Where is Kenny going to go? All he can do is accept the power that he is given, or go somewhere else where he most likely wont be a GM. Id keep the job and do my best given my limitations. Id try and convince them my way is right, and I cant believe that at this point I couldnt convince an owner to do something. I'm sure he can weaken another farm system.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 3, 2011 -> 07:08 PM) I was under the impression that Liriano was having a bad season so far. Well they are playing the Sox. Teams and players probably look forward to the Sox for getting out of their slumps.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2011 -> 06:59 PM) IMO, he's not a major league caliber hitter for a corner infielder. So how is Dayan's defense. I heard this guy was a butcher.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) I am almost certain that there would be PLENTY of posters on this site who would be very happy if this team was losing 95 games a season as long as they had some hott spects to drool over.. at least that how it seems Do they really gain anything with top prospects that will be exposed to a poor farm system?

White Sox season is over He wants a fire sale.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) One of these teams is going to start fattening up on the rest of the division. It wont be the Sox. They seem to fail at this in the 2nd half.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 1, 2011 -> 07:14 AM) I know I am one of Kenny's biggest fans, so maybe I am biased in regards to that, but I have a really hard time finding much blame with his work. I think he consistently puts teams out there that have the ability to win this division...at some point the players have to play and earn their paychecks. Many blame him for the poor farm system. I guess he was in charge of that before being GM.

QUOTE (since56 @ May 1, 2011 -> 06:30 AM) Its got to be Ozzie/Oney. Walker is not a big enough impact. Ozzie is the bombshell to let the players know they are going to go too if this doesn't change now. No one is sacred. If Ozzie can get fired the players can get sent down released or traded. Light a fire under their asses with a bold move. Bring in Bobby Valentine. That has no effect on any MLB player. Imagine if the everyday working world has contracts like MLB. Unfortunately players have guaranteed contracts.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) It goes way beyond that. Now every game there are 2-3 mental errors and 2-3 physical errors that are almost inexplicable for modern baseball players. That seems to run deep in the organization. I'm guessing KW has a lot of tolerance for this. The organization needs an overhaul. I've heard many times that this is a dumb baseball team.

QUOTE (since56 @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 06:40 PM) Under this reasoning a manager is not needed. Only guys with bats. I doubt most managers would make that much of a difference since this is a team full of veterans.

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 01:19 AM) I say trade ozzie for Gardenhire then... How long will it take for Sox fans to say, "he can't take the team to the next level?".

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) I don't think so. I think they are human beings that react to stress like other human beings. If you think that a "professional" can not be negatively affected by booing from the home crowd, how would you like it if you were having surgery and people in the operating room were booing the surgeon. I don't see that as a positive. Since I want the Sox to win BADLY (getting depressed I'm ashamed to say), I hope for things that are positive. They can not be motivated more than they already are. They need to loosen up. Konerko is one the most uptight players and I think that rubs off on the rest of the team. How about Konerko in a Flash costume? Might give him an edge to keep him from getting picked off. I wonder how Jackie Robinson would reply to this.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 08:46 PM) this. (2 weeks into the season lol) well if ozzie should be fired then gardenhire should be fired too, they have a worse record than we do and i dont hear twins fans saying he should be gone because 2 weeks worth of baseball oh and francona too while were at it Twin fans wanted Gardenhire gone after the post season. Managers get too much blame and credit.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 10:08 PM) I wouldn't. Quite frankly, somebody calling JR cheap really hasn't had ground to stand on since about 2004. He's proven he'll spend, and JR and Ozzie have proven that they won't win outside of a magic in a bottle year 6 seasons ago. If this season continues to go to hell, those two need to go to the unemployment line. And if we go young at GM and manager with guys who have heard of advanced statistics, can develop and keep young players, and won't waste outs bunting and stealing every single day, I'd be thrilled. So should the rest of the staff.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 09:29 AM) I'd hope they wouldn't...way too much money for someone that had already had some red flags due to injuries. Too much money on one guy could mean less money for other free agents. The fans also label Mauer as a no show when it comes to the post season.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 04:50 PM) I love when people rip on WSI. Losers Some of us are exiled and cannot return there.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) I think a lot of Twins' fans might trade the last decade for our World Series, that's for sure. It was interesting reading what their fans said after the post season. Gardenhire can't win the big one. (even some would prefer Ozzie) Mauer contract was a waste of money. Change in organization philosophy. Those were the big 3.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) I thought this would be an appropriate thread for this . . . Anyone missing Bobby yet? It will be interesting to see how well he does in a different organization. Isn't he with the Red Sox?
