Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) Well oh well. The ending is just how we started Kinda like last year when I think we won 9 of our last 11. "Ya know, we had Kotsay as our primary DH. So many guys struggled. Peavy got hurt. And we still found a way to win 88 games." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) I'm more interested if there is going to be some post season drama. You know... I hope they make it quick. None of this fiddle farting around with the soap opera stuff all off season trying to decide who to keep and who to has to go. Have the decision made the day after the season ends like most teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:30 PM) Does anyone doubt that, after the Sox are officially eliminated from playoff contention, they will go on a 10-game winning streak? ...and Adam Dunn will turn into Babe f***ing Ruth and start hitting EVERYTHING out of the park.

mcgrad70 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) Closer-in-training He's still learning and he implodes quite a bit. I rather have Sale than Sergio in there on sheer pitching experience. Until Sergio gets iron hardened, he's still learning in my eyes. He should learn his trade in the minors...but again a team that's all-in goes out and gets a legitimate closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgrad70 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) Trust me on this...NO ONE wants to face our starting pitching come to the postseason. Can you imagine Peavy in the postseason? I'm sure there's no one that would be better in a postseason game than he would be. You guys are beyond delusional..there are right now at least 7 teams in the AL better than the White Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This organization has no f***ing IDEA how to groom prospects into major league players. Sergio should most certainly have learned to close in the minors, and Beckham was called up way too f***ing fast. Sale is only on the roster because of some stipulation in his contract when he signed out of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sale is only on the roster because of some stipulation in his contract when he signed out of the draft. On Sergio, it was OK he learned to close in the majors, since this team wasn't going to win anything this year anyway with Dunn, Rios, Becks, others hitting so anemically as they did. He's blown six saves I know. He has five losses. Did he suck in those losses? If so, that's 11 s***ty outings which is not too good if that's what we're going to get from him in the future. I got no problems with him, however, if he learned on the job this year. But between he and Matt, we blew a lot of saves and lost a lot of games in late relief. This team's only strength on paper appears to be the starting rotation and maybe defense. Thing is, with AJ's inability to throw anybody out, that's a big part of defense. I'm close to saying this team's only above average facet is starting pitching. Edited September 15, 2011 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
