Balta1701 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) Basically, you described Baseball Hell. Looks like 2012 will be another one of those seasons where we're hoping players play up to the expectations because we're sure as hell not doing a lot of trading and FA signings. Maybe we'll at least get some guys who are hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) If his job is on the line, isn't that the logical move for him? Oh its logical for him. Each year he burns the farm down to go for his small percentage all in he kills the franchise a bit more for long term success. The economics of a medicore team, poor attendance, and a high payroll with large unmoveable contracts turns us into the cubs for a few years.

If we grab a young guy for Danks and convince Cooper not to leave, this team can still be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 09:21 PM) How is Dunn = Belle? Sorry, would you prefer someone else like Canseco or the Big Hurt (Skirt) in a bad year? Dunn is awful and I need someone equally as bad to make fun of him with. He's my target, Pierre is right behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Eh, Ohman may have retired every player he faced, but he looked far from good during his relief appearance. He's basically that pitcher you put in thinking if he holds the opponent, good, if he doesn't, so be it -- we'll lose having saved the bullpen.

He will trade Viciedo, because its our biggest splash of talent and gets the most bang for our buck. He will go for a name, a name that will draw fans. A vet. Not young players. He will trade Jackson, and get a small pidence. He will look to move Danks in the offseason. He is not a FA yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Thanks to whomever jinxed us by saying the Cub lineup was a joke. Floyd's was s*** tonight. Edited June 21, 2011 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Belle's offensive prowess was at least respected by the fans. While never loved or even liked, I don't ever remember a cascade of boos raining down on his head. DJ: "Whatever Dunn's doing is just not working, period."

Paulie is a true hitter; everybody else, ha. "Not a lot of teams are as aggressive one through nine as they are," Blackburn said. "They're all up there hacking, and that's pretty much what you're getting used to when you know you're about to face the White Sox." That tells the story. We are a hacking swing as hard as we can offense that doesnt make a lot of contact and prays for center cut fastballs. If a team pours in fastballs on pitch one and then throws crap into the dirt they will beat our guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
