Flash Tizzle Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) *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?

The Mighty Mite Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 QUOTE (Insp @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 01:58 PM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other, for the 4th year in a row and 9th in the past eleven, is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insp Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 7 RBI's already for Machado, a guy who has far more hitting discipline than anyone on this Sox team. Our hitting coach needs to be fired so badly that it isn't even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 06:22 PM) 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. QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
