chisoxt Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 07:56 PM) KC grabs the lead in all 3 games. So much for Peavy's plea for passion. Peavy....? Is that the same guy who couldn't hold the eight and ninth place hitters on a last place team in check with two outs and runners on last night??

fathom Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 07:59 PM) Yeah. The Sox need to fire/replace some people. There is no doubt about that. They just need players to play better. For a team that's been so predictably mediocre on offense this year, it's a blessing we're still in the thick of the race. Walker of course should have been fired after 2007, but we know he's here as long as Ozzie is. At this point, the only break us fans could get with this offense is if someone unfortunately has to go on the DL like Teahen or Dunn or Rios or Pierre.

greg775 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 06:59 PM) I'll be happy to take 1 of 4 against the Twins. Figuring Humber will have a good chance to shut them down. Maybe we score 3 to squeak by in the opener. KC's performance against us shows me there's no change in our approach to Central Div. teams. It will be a miracle to split that Twins series. If the Twins win the opener, they sweep us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offense just needs to get going, as you're not going to win when you have 3 players hitting well (and 2 of them have no power in AJ and Pierre).

caulfield12 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I think I'm going to have to watch THE ROOMMATE with Minka Kelly for the 2nd time rather than see if we'll get no hit. It's one of the few movies I've seen below 10% at rottentomatoes and I dare not look at the IMDB rating. Well, I can always just put her video on mute (who needs to hear her speak, really?) and be entertained by Farmer and DJ. DJ really wanted to go down there and head back to CF and rob that homer Rios inexplicably let hit the top of an 8 foot wall when he's one of the tallest outfielders in baseball.

Steve9347 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Edwin Jackson is maddening, but the most annoying thing in the world is Greg Walker's continued employment. No other team in Major League Baseball would have Greg Walker still employed as hitting coach with so many players underperforming expectations and career norms.

Barring a miracle, we lose 2 of 3 to KC. Minnie will mop the Sox. Teams in the Central are laughing when they pitch to our lineup. List the pitchers our lineup have made look like real pitchers. 3 in this series alone. All three of those KC starters SUCK and the Sox at home can't hit them.

The Ginger Kid Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 there was a period of time when I loathed Jerry Reinsdorf, particularly when he threatened to move the team to St. Petersburg. That old feeling is coming back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSox8 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 As long as changes are made to this team, I'm willing to sacrifice this year. I'd be embarassed for the Sox if I was a fan of another team....There is no definable word for what this team is....at least I can't think of any.
