ScottyDo Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 06:27 PM) I really dread the game threads this year. I thought people would be a little more mellow and cool with the WS win. THis spring has showed that it won't. i agree, not panic time yet, or even close (we gotta play a real game at least) but come now, our bullpen is a tad sketchy. if jenks comes back and spits fire again, we're gold.

fathom Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 10:22 PM) Oh no. COtts isn't going to be good this year! By no means am I freaking out about Cotts....but he's far from a proven commodity. Just like Jenks, he could easily revert to a 5.00 ERA. As long as he has his control though, he should be fine.

KevHead0881 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 05:28 PM) Our offense looks good, our starting pitching looks good, our bullpen is the only issue and I think that will be better than everyone is panicking about. Thome is going to have a huge impact on the whitesox lineup this year. I see little to get into a bunch yet about. Lets see how the season unravels before we start to panic. Why so f***ing optimistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyWhiteSox Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 05:25 PM) Good to see people are in panic mode already. Should be a fun year. It looks like the pen is a legitimate concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Why is it questioning any part of the White Sox team being pessimistic? There is another team in Chicago whose fans think all their players are hall of famers, I prefer to look at it objectively and realistically. The bullpen is a huge concern. The Sox won a lot of one run games last year. If Jenks stays in his funk, and guys like Thornton and Lopez are called on to get big outs, a lot of those 1 run victories can turn to losses. The offense should be a little better, maybe giving the bullpen a little room to work with, but if Jenks pitches like he did before he joined the White Sox organization, KW is going to have to pull a few rabbits out of the hat.

LVSoxFan Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I agree with the post about the September Slide last year--I actually skipped two games that I had tickets to because it had become so unbearable. That was freaking brutal. I honestly don't care what happens in Spring Training, because it says nothing. I am worried about Jenks, though.

The bullpen is a concern. I see the starters going 7-8 innings just like Buerhle did today vrs the Cubs, but you need that closer. I like Jenks and Cotts, but Jenks is a AA pitcher that has 1/2 a season of varied success. Cotts is still learning the role. But, ST is where things are ironed out and I am hoping once opening days is here everything gells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing guys like Everett and Rowand will do that to a team. Hopefully this years team can get some of that edge back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 I have come to the conclusion that I should start the Game Thread from now on. In that event, no one will win and so EVERYONE can go home happy after a good time's had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
