  1. QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 09:44 PM) Where is the guy who said Viciedo will hit more HRs in Sox uniform than Frank Thomas? Probably at a Betty Ford Clinic or an institution for the baseball mentally retarded.
  2. QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) Viciedo's D at 3rd makes Teahen look like Brooks Robinson. This is why changes need to be made in this organization. The ability to catch a baseball isn't even a priority in this organization.
  3. QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 10:18 PM) He was a finalist when Ozzie was hired right? That would have been a disaster. I think he was fired before he got a chance. The guy is a total ass. Wasn't he a big league manager for about a day?
  4. QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 10:45 AM) Cubs made a mistake bringing Castro up. He's hitting like crap and making a whopping amount of errors. Something tells me the guy will always be bad at defense.
  5. QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) He's also a below average defensive 2B. Sounds like the perfect White Sox.
  6. QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) Teahen is nothing more than a nice utility player. He has the ability to fill in at multiple position and provide decent replacement numbers. Given him being left handed, he seems more of an NL utility guy to me, who can fill in to rest guys and also be a nice PH off the bench. At his salary unfortunately, he is a very expensive role player. You should have told that to Kenny long before they got him. This was the move I still don't get.
  7. What if the minors don't want Beckham in their lineup?
  8. Just think Fukadome was close to becoming a Sox and for more money.
  9. I thought it was a perfect display of a city with two of the worst hitting teams in baseball. The Sox won 4 in a row. Mark it on your calendar. Who knows the next time we see that. While this next series should be easy, that's when the Sox lay down.
  10. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 11:44 AM) I think it is tough to truly rate Silva. He has had success in the AL before, and he got paid, then got fat and happy. He absolutely sucked in a Mariners uniform, but the guy was in a revolving buffet line the entire time he was there. He looks like he took the offseason seriously this year and showed up to Cubs camp in shape, and he looks like a totally different pitcher now. Even if he didn't win another game it still make the Cubs getting the better end of that Bradley trade.
  11. If I had to make an excuse for him, it would be that he was out for practically a whole season. He's not exactly a veteran where an extended time off doesn't hurt as much.
  12. QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 03:38 PM) bought tickets earlier in the year, paid 225$, selling them to a friend because i have no interest at all in going sadly What? You don't want to see the two most under achieving teams in MLB in person? I wonder how bad the Cubs would be if they were in the AL.
  13. QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 03:17 AM) No. Kenny is the one who made this garbage roster. His job isn't to get the players Ozzie wants, its to get the BEST 25 players that he can to fill out the roster. If you are going to blame Ozzie, you need to have equal blame on KW as well.. Ozzie isn't the GM, if KW didn't think this roster could get it done he could have done something about it. Glad to see someone gets it. I don't understand the Thome love at all. This was a guy who would get injured being a DH. Did they win anything at all with him? No. This team would be just as bad with him. Thome created a hole in CF and look what Kenny had to pay to fill that. Dye? MLB isn't interested in him. Last year's team would be just as bad because the current ace of the staff is a washed up pitcher named Freddie.
  14. I can't agree with the "fire Ozzie" mantra. There's no manager that can make this team better. The organization needs to change it's philosophy. They can continue with the lightning in a bottle free agents\trades or spend money in scouting and development. I'm puttin this bad season on Kenny and the players. More so on the players. Unfortunately MLB has made it difficult to "fire" players unlike some other pro sports.
  15. QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 08:35 PM) Reloading doesn't work with this coaching staff. This same topic was just debated in the other thread. I would rather see a youth movement now. The youth movement doesn't work with this organization. Kenny will either trade them or they will have a major deficit in a certain skill. Most often it's defense.
  16. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 10:17 PM) I'm just amazed that no one has been given the boot yet. We've been terrible nearly all year and the only player we lost was Lucy. I'm not saying that a change would make us better, i'm just saying that i expected one to have been made at this point. Cooper probably deserves to lose his job more than Walker. Freddy has become the ace.
  17. QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 10:04 PM) Addressing KW in your title might make him read it; please don't do this KW. OK, who is the one responsible for Dear Kenny: Please trade for Mark Teahan and give him an extension ?
  18. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 08:25 AM) Through 55 games last year, the Sox had 3 more wins and were 6 games closer to first place than in 2010. Surprisingly they have scored 2 more runs this year compared to last, but have given up 19 more. The starting pitching sucks. It's only when Freddy pitches that I have some confidence of a victory. The best performances are coming from the 5th starting spot. Anytime that happens you should be in 1st.
  19. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 08:32 AM) Oh man...see, this kind of thing drives me nuts....go back and read the thread a bit. It should drive you nuts because I speaketh the truth.
  20. If this was an attempt at humor, I give it a thumbs up.
  21. Nothing like watching the Sox getting owned by Cleveland.
  22. QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) I loved Byfuglien's hit on Pronger. He so had that coming. Confirmed by Roenick.
  23. QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 08:44 AM) This team is f***ed if Floyd, Buerhle and Peavy do not get better next year and Danks doesn't figure out how to get through six innings a game. Peavy is new to the league, so I'll give him a pass. Floyd-possible it could be an off year. It happens. Mark B. - might be the guy to trade before his value gets really low.
  24. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 12:56 AM) If we want any chance of competing in 2011......... We need to stop right there, enough said. So far I've read people wanting to trade for "trades sake" because the team sucks. It's easy to replace bad players with more bad players. But good ones.......... Look how long it took to fill the hole after trading Rowand. Lights out set up guy? We got one, keep him. Losing teams never get the better side of trades this late. Right now I don't trust the current GM to make any deals. I don't trust the farm system handling prospects. Trade the bad ones. not the good ones.
  25. QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) When things go this bad it makes you wonder how ANYBODY thought it was a good idea to add old guys like Pierre, Jones, Omar and a stiff like Teahen Yet people will claim that is Ozzie's team. In truth as Cowley wrote before this is Kenny's team.
