Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I believe......watch, this team will spank the royals when we play them in the 3 game series later this month It is one of those strange things about this team we cant spank the worst teams in the league and you want to get on one of the better ones in our division??? we need to step back and regroup on this one.......if the team is gonna take the attitude of getting fired up for the good teams then it had better take that same attitude against the lousy ones too.....and from where i sit i just dont see that happening........

Sox have a winning record against winning teams (I think 7 games over .500) They are 11 games under .500 against losing teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya...its great that the Sox can beat good teams, but that don't mean crap cause playoff teams have to take care of the bad teams. The Sox aren't gonna get a shot to play the good teams when it counts, unless they start beating up on the bottom feeders. Here's the question. Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't a big job of the manager to get guys up for each and every game? I know at lower levels it is (Little League, High School, etc) but in the minors and majors is that still the case. I've heard conflicting things. Some say once it gets to that point the players have to motivate themselves because the players just get sick if the coach is always giving a rah rah type stance, etc. Still I have to think their is something a manager could do, like always putting pressure on guys, telling them they can do better. No matter what lay things out for each player telling them what to improve. Also give them some positive feedback, but tell them hey were the coaches and were here if you need us. Its our job to get you guys prepared, but we can't do it without your help. Therefor were here for you whenever and at times we'll come up to you and work on things. You need to get better at bunting, come into the office. If you don't lay them down then I'm going to come to you and say hey, you didn't get that bunt down. Those things have to be done. After the game lets work on it and do so for the next week or so. Am I completely wrong with this thinking? I've never been a manager at in any case, but this is just my thinking.

Chisoxfn Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 jas.. right about now even Jesus couldnt lift this team up and make it deliver how it should be doing........... Your probably right, but doens't this stuff make sense. I'm not going to say JM isn't doing this cause I'm not in the clubhouse, but damn this is what I'd be doing and if the players had a problem I wouldn't be afraid to tell my GM to deal them for guys that are willing to buy into my style or I'd send them to the minors or keep them on the bench till they are willing to buy into it.

You know its funny...no talent ass clowns like myself would be willing to play 200% every game, yet these guys with all the talent in the world aren't. Why is it that so few players with all the skills ever play with full effort/energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think anorexia would stop the guys from swinging for the fences? I'm thinking we may of solved the Sox problems. Now all we have to do is convince JR to stop feeding them...and considering it would save him money, I like the odds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 The Sox will win the division, the Twins are 6-18 in their lastest slide and the Royals aren't doing much and the Sox have benn very dissapointing this week, but to say it's done is insane.

Texsox Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Dude this your chance to prove you are a real fan. Any fan can be loyal when his or her team is doing well. You have the right to be upset, but if you are a true fan, you do NOT have the right to give up. I'm a true fan of steak. If it's poorly cooked, I don't eat it and throw it in the garbage. I'm still a steak fan, I just don't like (i.e. have faith) in this particular one. I don't need to spend quality time with the garbage to prove I'm a real fan. Lose 4 of 5 to the Devil Rays and Tigers and I can stay away from the team for a while. Besides I'm leaving on vacation in a week and will not have a radio or TV within 30 miles.

whitesox247 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 So the Sox really had me teased during their amazing winning streak. I thought we had it all made, we'd feed off the bad teams and be well over .500. Hell, I even thought we'd be in first place by the All-Star Game. And now I've crashed down to earth once more with this corpseball s***. :finger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body I know not everybody has got a body like you but I've got to think twice before I give my heart away and I know all the games you play because I play them too oh but I need some time off from that emotion time to pick my heart up off the floor and when that love comes down without devotion well it takes a strong man baby but I'm showing you the door 'cause I've gotta have faith baby I know you're asking me to stay say please please please don't go away you say I'm giving you the blues maybe you mean every word you say can't help but think of yesterday and another one who tied me down to loverboy rules before this river becomes an ocean before you throw my heart back on the floor oh baby I reconsider my foolish notion well I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for something more yes I've gotta have faith...

KC is still playing good ball. Minnesota is collapsing I'm not giving up, even though these losses are taking a toll on me, it's very very frustrating The division sucks, and i think the pitching can keep us in it. If and when we start hitting the division is ours. But please start beating s***ty teams, please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in just about every game we play, its just that the corpseball bats never seem to decide to wake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
