Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I wanted to see him K myself. What's the point of him doing anything positive now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 08:49 PM) No walks. I want to see them play a four-game series with none. I can't decide what's more impressive: getting completely crushed in 3 out of 4 games while being swept at home, or not walking at all the whole series.

greg775 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 LOL. Caught the end of that carnage. Four game sweep by New York after losing 2 of 3 to Boston. Nice job, losers. What a season. Now it's off to Minnie for the inevitable sweep. Wow. At least the players get paid no matter what. That'll please them as they sip their drinks on the short flight to Minnie.

chetkincaid Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Lol watch Adam Dunn go on a tear when it becomes clear that the Sox are out of it. I mean he's gonna be on FIRE smashing EVERYTHING out of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) A pathetic display of baseball all-around these last 4 games. No more, "Well, with our pitching staff. We could hang with anybody if we get into the playoffs" talk. PLEASE! Edited August 5, 2011 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 03:46 AM) I hope the Yankees enjoyed their 4 day vacation in Chicago. At least somebody is having fun. That had to be a nice breather for New York. Now it's back to reality for them. They swept us as easily as they would a AAA team. Sox provided no resistance at all. I wonder if some of the Yankees even need to shower after each of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, him playing well the rest of the way would go a long way to possibly salvaging his time here. Some confidence heading into next year for him and Rios would be a great thing.

Everybody will be all excited for "next year." Or maybe not. Sox fans may be gullible at times, but they are not DUMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I still can't believe we didn't trade Thornton when he might have had some value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to figure out how the genuises in this organization figured we'd didn't need to acquire anybody (or add Dayan) to bolster this lineup. Right now our lineup consists of left field - below average hitter; center field - below average hitter. right field - good hitter. third base- below average hitter; shortstop - average hitter (this season). second base - average hitter. First base - good hitter. DH - below average hitter. C - good hitter; horrific defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitoMB345 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I heard the Dunn shot on the radio. Was it a meatball/hanger? Or did he actually just make a nice hit with some power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did he actually just make a nice hit with some power? It looked like the old Dunn to be honest. He really got the meat part of the bat on it and blasted it. I may be mistaken but I think it was below the belt. He crushed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rios.. not so much. I just want him gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Fat chance of that happening. Rios, in the end if he actually sticks around all the way into 2012 and is named opening day starter/leadoff hitter...will end up doing more damage to this franchise financially than the $38-40 million it would cost to buy him out. Just watch. Edited August 5, 2011 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
