southsider2k5 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Herb Lawrence Dis Kenny Williams is an idiot. How do you get player like Dunn? He knew that he had an appendix which makes it a 100% more likely to have a appendectomy than a free agent that doesn't have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) Sweet f***ing Christ, back off from the ledge everyone. We haven't even played a f***ing home game yet. We lost a game in extras last night and now Dunn is out 5-10 and you'd think the season was already over and we had the worst bullpen in the history of the game. No sh*t!!!! We're not even a week in and people are slitting their wrists already? Although, that said: I never jumped off of a ledge. I just said that all of the extra optimism I had is dwindling quickly. It's just looking like every other year where we have either pitching or offense, but neither at the same time. That does always seem to be the case, doesn't it? But sorry, I don't get out the razors until around the ASB. Edited April 6, 2011 by LVSoxFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're playing .500 ball against the eventual 4th and 5th place teams in the Central, we are failing to gain good ground over Detroit and Minnesota. When we start playing good teams we know Detroit and Minnesota will beat up on these same 4th and 5th place teams during that stretch. Games still count in April.

witesoxfan Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 QUOTE (longshot7 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 11:05 AM) He should miss up to three weeks - it's not exactly an easy procedure. It depends if the appendix ruptured or not. Not the end of the season, but still a pain in the ass. I'm going to trust the medical professionals that are actually around the scenario that are saying 5-10 days. And considering it was laparoscopic, I'm going to say assuming that it didn't rupture.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I could have sworn Matt Holliday was going to miss a month because of his. My friend just had an emergency appendectomy like 2 weeks ago and is still in the hospital I believe. He also is not a million dollar athlete though.

When we start playing good teams we know Detroit and Minnesota will beat up on these same 4th and 5th place teams during that stretch. Games still count in April. It's something people never seem to understand or at least admit. When we end up losing the division by a few games, which we often do, the difference could have been made up early in the season. It's a reason why the Sunday lineups are a terrible idea. It's always "it's just one game" or "every team has a stretch like this" or "every team has an opponent they can't ever seem to beat", but we do it far too often. And again, I can't stand the fact that (and obviously this isn't necessarily the case this season) we always have one aspect of the team that underachieves miserably and likely costs us the division. We'll have a great offense one year, but the pitching will suck. We'll have great starting pitching, but the bullpen will blow. We'll have a great bullpen, but the offense can't score on anything other than a homer. Of course it's too early in the season to say that this will happen again, but it happens so often that even the slightest hint of it makes me wary. All I do know for sure is that this pitching staff needs to get its s*** together. Between the starters and bullpen, they've got to be making somewhere between $70 and $80 million dollars.

We'll see. If Sale doesn't throw a pitch right down the middle of the plate to Butler, the Sox probably end up winning that game. And in all reality, that is a game they win any time from May to September. I don't think they won it last night because Ozzie is finding his comfort zone with the bullpen and Sale is still a bit rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCSox Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 While I agree that it's about three months too early to give up on the season, Milk's complaint about this team's historical inability to get out of the gate being a problem is a very fair one. And I'll add that this team's historical inability to play competitively in August and September has cost us multiple playoff appearances. So, yeah, there is some justification for "here we go again" impatience right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
