The changes came before the year. The spending. After what Jerry did last offseason, he's not going to open the pocketbook again to give Kenny more carte blanche to blow.

TitoMB345 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Holy f***, I don't think there's a team this easy to hate. There is literally NOTHING that makes me want to watch (and yet I still do, ugh sports). We have an idiot manager, an idiot GM, and a team full of s***ty ball players.

What I was getting at was to start dumping this circus side show and start anew... then again does anyone really trust these guys to do that right??

Flash Tizzle Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 08:17 PM) 5.5 back after tonight is looking very possible. This is definitely a nightmare scenario. The next will be the undervaluing of our players come the offseason when we're looking to trade them. And think, last week people were worried about dealing Quentin and Thornton because of all this boogey-man talk of "white flag" and "attendance dropping." Well, how'd that work out for us? Attendance is s*** and we could have easily played this poorly with a few less players. It's just ridiculous anyone could have thought this team was anything more than what we're seeing. It's as if Williams knew with dealing Jackson, but then out thought himself. Well, hopefully we'll just lose the remainder of this series, then the Twins series, and can begin looking forward to next season. Just end this misery now instead of September.

The problem with that is the manager. Do you think for a minute that 8 games back or more will stop Guillen from starting Omar over Morel, rios over DeAza or any of thebother silly decisions that he makes.

Flash Tizzle Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 We better put Konerko in the lineup soon, injured or not. Listening to Hawk talk about this lineup being different without him, I sense an excuse forming to explain the slide in the standings. There should be none entering the offseason -- put his ass in now. Even if it just means standing at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgrad70 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) I don't believe I've used this line this year, but screw this team. Bunch of unlikable, underachieving busts. This is what we get when Reinsdorf declares he's all-in. I guess he said "I'll fixed 'em". Oh please, please just go back to being the snake oil salesman. We knew what to expect with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he probably won't, but I think a sudden drop in the standings will increase tensions, definitely on Williams for his lack of midseason deals; maybe on Guillen for doing exactly what you're describing. It's better than the alternative of meddling around .500 and 5 games back, continuing to wait for that elusive 8 game winning streak we always seem to come across every season.
