*finally gets out of Danks contract*

 

*trades for worse pitcher with equally bad contract*

 

*refuses to trade pitcher after miracle fluky run*

 

God bless you White Sox FO

Honestly, if they just think of a plan and do the exact opposite, could it possibly be any worse?

Over at the Orioles Hangout, 177 fans are viewing their game thread with over 150 posts already. Meanwhile there are only 8 members and 23 guests on the SoxTalk game thread that has only 13 posts.

 

I just came over from WSI, I was the only one over there posting in the game thread. The Sox fan base is shrinking, this embarrassing outing by Shields isn't going to help things.

How is nobody fired for this dumpster fire yet?

At this point one game won't make a difference, but it couldn't hurt to embarrass the White Sox further.

 

I'm hoping Orioles score 20+ and shut us out

It stands to reason. One team is playing meaningful baseball in the middle of the summer. The other, for the 4th year in a row and 9th in the past eleven, is not.

5.79 ERA as a reliever and still on the roster getting meaningful appearances. That's something the old Rockies used to do

 

There's a lot of similarities between the White Sox and the Rockies, aren't there?

Shame on Hahn for not getting out of Shields' contract if there were takers

Great post. Shoulda dumped him.

I'm sure the scouts told him Coop had fixed him and he was great now.

The entire scouting department needs to fired. It's painfully obvious that Shields has absolutely nothing left. I'm sure the Padres front office was stunned when the Sox called asking about him explaining why they traded him so early. They would have taken literally anything to get out of any portion of Shield's horrific contract.

 

Just fire everybody actually, anybody who even knew that trade could possibly happen and didn't speak up against it.

Amen.

Not a bad crowd out there today. Too bad today's performance is unlikely to entice many back anytime soon.

Sox play like s*** on weekend home games for the last 5 years especially when crowd is bigger, a lot of those fans are not coming back and I do not blame them.
