fathom Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:18 AM) Lol, routine bouncer? The SS made a diving play up the middle, flipped it to Roberts, who made a great turn. You just following this on Gameday or something!?! Dude, if it got through, it would have been a 20 hopper. It was a good play, but it pretty much was a weak grounder hit on a 3-1 meatball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Rios is f***ing garbage. Fastball with a little bit of run away from him on the outside half of the plate?

Flash Tizzle Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) That 1-0 swing from Beckham was embarrassing. He just looks bad out there. Another quick and terrible inning from the offense. Edited May 1, 2011 by Flash Tizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Cue the "well the Cardinals, Astros and Rockies and about 3 other teams in major league history came back from being 8 games under .500 or 10 GB in standings" If it was an NFL season, it would be only 2-3 games, if NBA/NHL, only 14 games and the equivalent of a 6-8 record. ETC. I'm going to be tired of hearing about that 26-5 streak from last year being the reason to be patient...or the Twins being in the same position. They're in just as much, if not more, trouble than the White Sox going forward. Even Greg Walker would mess up Roy Hobbs or Josh Hamilton.

It was just unlucky that Andino made a great play on it. Jam shots and ground balls up the middle happen all the time. If that ball got through, I gaurentee people would say "There ya go Alex! Finally". But no, so instead it's extreme negativity. This board is seriously the biggest downer. Can't wait to get drunk tonight and not be depressed by this s***.

They probably don't have a 25-5 streak, that doesn't happen often, but last year, even with their awful start, they were only 1 over .500 the last 2 months of the season, so without a 25-5, there is time to make up ground. Its Cleveland they are chasing. Right now its only a week or 2 of decent baseball and Cleveland hitting reality and they are right there. Every loss makes you wonder if they will ever play well, but they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Unless you consider Quentin high-priced. I'm really worried about Beckham, though. Maybe it's time to send him to the minors. The problem is do we trust the hitting coach in AA or AAA to fix Gordon? More importantly, how does Gordon feel? His family? He's a VERY confident kid. That's one of the main reasons Ozzie agreed to stick with him last year. At some point, they have to try a different strategy and rebuild him just like Tiger Woods has deconstructed and reinvented 3 swing changes in the course of his career. Just not the same player we saw in 2009 and the second half last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the first half of last season, Alex Rios has been an awful player for the Sox. Not average, not below average, not bad.............awful.
