hi8is Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 We play the Twins 12 times from July to September. If we can close the gap to 5 games before the break in July -- it's possible that we pull a 2005 Huston Astros and turn this around. I'm not saying it's likely - but it is possible. We have the pieces. This aint completely over yet fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 If you think that, more power to you. When I see a team play 56 games with only one 3-game winning streak, and go 4-8 against the worst team in the division, I'm declaring them not good enough.

I'd love to see this team turn it around, but honestly, it might be better for the long-term prospects of this franchise if we unload, reload, and move on.

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yeah, I was pretty optimistic until they laid that big turd at home against Cleveland. It's like the suck on the field and they suck mentally too. Meanwhile Kenny Williams is off playing XBox somewhere. Wake up you stupid franchise-ruining motherf***er.

daggins Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 The saddest thing about this season is we are probably wasting Alex Rios' career year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 You realize we just lost 2 of 3 to Cleveland ... again ... and you open a thread like this? We barely win one of the 3 games. And you write this after a game in which Mark sucked again? It is over. Like Ozzie said yesterday, something like, "the offense is s***; or the offense sucks." Also the starting pitching sucks. It is over and it's time to plan the firesale. I still don't think he'll be able to make moves til the traditional trading period near the deadline. He might try, though, if anybody wants our lousy players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'm not saying it is probable or likely. I'm saying that we aren't that far gone and that it is possible that we turn it around. Did I say we're playing good baseball? Nope. Do I think this team is capable of playing good baseball? Yes. Will they? Probably not -- but it is possible. Go back to pouting guys - I'll continue to be myself and hope for the best. Suck it up guys. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 It's over. Atleast the World Cup is starting because it would be hell to wait 3 months until football season begins. Atleast now I'll have only 2 months of sports hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just realistic about a horrible baseball team. And happy about the Blackhawks' chances. They've had a great postseason no matter what happens but a title would be beautiful.

T R U Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 im all for having hope that we turn it around, but seriously why do these always pop up when we win ONE game after coming off a string of embarrassing ones? maybe its from the high of finally getting a win, but weve shown very little of being able to consistently win..

WHITESOXRANDY Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 He's right. It's possible that the White Sox can win all of these last 106 games. It's also possible that I can still be elected President of the USA as long as I am still breathing. However, it's more likely that I'm elected President than the White Sox even so much as finish with a winning record against Cleveland. Anyone that has watched this team and hasn't concluded that they are pure garbage is just refusing to believe their own eyes. This season could be extended for the next 20 years and the White Sox wouldn't ever again come within 8 games of the Minnesota Twins. Can you say....gar - bahj ?

hogan873 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 This team is a bunch of meanies! They will have a game like yesterday and make us think there's hope. Then they'll go on a streak where they'll lose 5 of 7. But for some reason they just won't quite get to that magical 10 games under .500. Bunch of hope-getter-uppers! Either lose or win...don't jerk us around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetkincaid Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Unload and reload please. The goal is to win the World Series, not to just catch the Twins. Can this team playing at their best win it all? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can this team playing at their best win it all? No. Well, if the Sox miraculously catch the Twins, that probably means they get really hot and stay that way for the rest of the season. So by nature, if that happens, we would look awfully good in the post-season, having the hot hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnCangelosi Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 If the starters could all pitch to their expectations then yes, this team can turn it around. However, there is no indication of this, our starting stuff has been beyond horrible. Our BP is fairly solid if we can avoid Guillen bringing in Williams in critical situations. I can see our offense coming around, but it all rests on the shoulders of the starting staff. And they look horrible. MB was throwing batting practice yesterday. JFP's arm is dead. Floyd is a basket case. Unless that miraculously changes we're screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I am in agreement now that one of the biggest (if not the biggest) issue has been the starting pitching. When Freddy Garcia, who many thought would never make it through spring training, is your second best pitcher (and THE best as of late), the you've got issues. Peavy and Floyd are huge disappointments, and so is Buehrle. All three of these guys have to turn it around right now in order for the Sox to have even a hint of a hint of a hope.

If you're KW and you believe at all this can happen, that's your best motivation for firing the manager. I don't believe it can happen personally.
