I really hope the culture around this team and the Metrodome changes this year. It DISGUSTS me to hear people talk about that place as if it's cursed. Or impossible to win in.

 

I don't want to hear any quotes from anyone that resembles a defeatist attitude (ie, we'll be lucky to win one).

 

I'll never forget how pitiful it was being around Soxtalk, and just listening to the White Sox become little girls at the discussion of the Dome late in the season. I remember a few weeks before, when we were looking ahead to that series (and realizing it'd probably mean something), Hawk was saying -- "we better have a 3+ game lead in the standings because we cant win down there." You know damn well the entire team thought this. Sure enough, we were swept. It needs to stop. It's embarrassing to listen to.

 

Agreed. It needs to start with Ozzie though...

I am still really worried about our offense (to me, best case scenario is it's like last year in that we hit a ton of home runs and live and die by them, worst case scenario is PK, JD, and Thome show their age and our offense sucks with no leadoff hitter ever emerging). But if our pitching staff stays reasonably healthy, I honestly thing it's going to be really good, and that will keep us in games even when our offense struggles. Josh Fields had a heck of a first week, I hope it's a sign of things to come and not a flash in the pan.

Josh Field's doesn't have all that pretty of a swing, but if he keeps getting hits (especially clutch ones) and getting on base, I don't care what his swing looks like!

 

Also, outside of game 1, Crede has looked pitiful. He's played poor D, and he has ZERO bat speed. Either he's not fully healed yet, OR his back is still hurting him, OR he's just plain done as a MLB Caliber player.

I know I'm knitpicking, but his name is Fields. Therefore, it should be "Fields'".

 

Sorry.

Actually, to nitpick a little more, for proper nouns that end in "s," the correct punctuation is usually 's, as in Fields's. English being English, there are always exceptions.

 

Oh yeah, go Sox!

Actually no apostrophe is needed.

 

Example

 

Carlos Quentin doesn't have all that pretty of a swing

 

not

 

Carlos Quentin's doesn't have all that pretty of a swing.

 

So it should just be Josh Fields doesn't have all that pretty of a swing

And of course, there's the accepted alternative of not putting the second s after the apostrophe, as in: Fields'
