mcgrad70 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) That's why they need to blow it up. Good teams don't have all these "trap games." You go out and beat the no name pitcher and your name pitcher mows them down. Rather than meekly drop 3 of 4 more to Minnie. The teams I watched growing up didn't have a quarter of the talent these guys have. But they played the way the Twins play and that's why they won.

greg775 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Seeing that Peavy cant even last five innings against a terrible Minnesota team in the Cell, maybe he should be just shut down the rest of the year or make him a middle reliever to pitch a few innings here and there as he continues to recover.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) Can you imagine how happy Toronto was when we agreed to take Rios? Wow. And some people on here still want to criticize Rowand. Rowand is awful now. Young was the one that got away. I remember guys like Rex Hudler and CWSGUY406 hating that trade. I was sippin' the World Series kool-aid. So I was cool with it. But wow was that brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine Tyler Flowers coming to town today and seeing this lazy team in action? Must be depressing after playing for a minor league team that probably cared.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 No hyperbole here. Outside of the Astros and Cubs, I don't think there's a worse organization in baseball right now. And I mean going forward. This team has no future at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) We can't even get it right in a loaded draft with a top #10 pick. But you have a point, were he on just about any other team he'd be Pedroia. I think we got it right. I think if we had an organizational approach in development and our organization didn't believe hitters are finished products he might be better off.

BTW after today I give the Sox an F for the first half. Somehow the record isn't F worthy, but I think the product and the performance deserves a grade of F. I guess a D-minus might be acceptable, but I'd go with F. Horrible, awful first half. Putrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'm not even watching the game, but I know the score. I'm hoping it's all falling apart and this is like, the end of days kind of s***. They're just falling apart and giving up on this manager. CHANGE NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The Sox have to get the OK from Jerry to just replace the overpaid dung. Release Teahen and Rios. Shut down Peavy. And bat Dunn ninth. Send Beckham down. I don't think any Sox fans will care what our record is the second half. Just lose with new kids. Get rid of the tubbies who can't play the game.

greg775 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Something has to be done when you have a guy like Rios who disrespects the game the way he plays. You can't keep a lazy guy like that on your team if you expect a hard working southsider to pay 10 bucks for a beer and park for 50 or whatever it costs.

greg775 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I picked up that Minnesota hack for my fantasy team today, figuring if we hit him I wouldn't be that mad anyway. After today, Ozzie wouldn't even be surprised if he got fired I bet. I wonder if he would/will take Kenny down with him and blast the talent he gave him.

southsideirish71 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 If for whatever reason a white sox player actually finds his way on base the opposing pitcher should not panic, just use the Nick Blackburn approach. Throw first pitch fastball, the junk in the dirt. They will get themselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
