The Ginger Kid Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 06:29 PM) I'm done caring. There's a quality major league team in Minnesota going to the playoffs this year. And there's a mismatched bunch of veterans led by an idiot manager, playing bad baseball on the south side of Chicago. When Reinsdorf allows things to be fixed, I'll start caring again. and if they win tomorrow they take the series from the best team in the AL right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team HAS to be able to keep the opponent from piling runs on us, and keep the game close. We don't have the type of offense to come back from huge deficits like this. You can turn this game off now btw, it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say I don't care. My expectations were lowered so so much after our awful start that I'm not getting worked up at all. I care, but I don't believe is what I'm saying.

fathom Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 White Sox Baseball in 2010 has followed the same formula: mediocre starting pitching and seemingly every other game, we have 9 straight hitters retired. 6 games out this early is awful, and there's really not much that can be done. However, AJP should not be batting 5th. He should be batting 8th or 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 And it won't mean anything. This team is going to be a .500 team at best, and that's unacceptabole for their payroll. Meanwhile, the Twins are winning every series, beating the bad teams in the division. Quality GM, manager, lineup, rotation, bullpen, and bench. They are the class of the division, and that's a fact. It's sad to say, but it's true.

southsider2k5 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 We have one hit today, and that was a slap single by Pierre. It doesn't matter who hit where, we'd still have one hit and no runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't? When you don't strike hitters out, you run the risk of bloopers. We've seen dozens of games like this from Buehrle, and we'll continue to see them. He is what he is. Against good teams, he often struggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox defense has to improve if they are going with this NL style. Buehrle also has to pitch over mistakes, something he's really had trouble doing the past couple of seasons, but tonight it was a bunch of bloops and dinks.
