justBLAZE Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 QUOTE (daggins @ Oct 2, 2012 -> 12:39 AM) I imagine they pick it up and try to trade him. Is there a team with bigger need at 3B than the Sox? Assuming Youk goes to Boston to play 1B for someone else than Valentine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 That might be a backup plan for Boston but I would guess they drive had for Napoli to man 1st and do a little catching/DHing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 As far as 3B goes, Wright would be an improvement over any 3B not named Cabrera (or Headley) so if he's available he will draw a lot of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 This pretty much should be the epithet on 2012 Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales Sox's 8 hits with runners in scoring position Monday night were one less they hit during their last 10 losses.

He'd fit right in on this squad since he played like absolute s*** in August and September. His ridiculous first 3 months covers up the fact that he was just awful in the 2nd half.

Last night truly proved supported the position of those who say the Sox choked or folded under pressure. The game didn't matter so they hit the s*** out of the ball with runners in scoring position. The troublesome thing is Robin had fixed this the first half. However now we're back to jinxed Sox baseball. He's coming back so I would expect the choking will continue again next year when it matters. Enjoy the next two games, however, they are meaningless so Sox prolly will excel.

Look who we faced and put up those runs against, a guy with a 5 something ERA that we saw for the 2nd time and a couple garbage relievers. Before that we faced TB who has a team ERA less than 3 in the 2nd half. Kluber who we saw for the first time( I believe), and Masterson, their best pitcher. Before that we faced E. Santana, D Haren, and Cy Weaver all of which have been good in the 2nd half. Then Chen and Guthrie who forever reason own us. We faced some good pitching down the stretch and with a team dealing with injuries like the sox were it not a recipe for success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the Sox got shut down numerous times by a plethora of no names/lousy pitchers as well. QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 2, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) And in completely unshocking, no one saw this coming news: Paul Konerko is having wrist surgery on Thursday His injury turned him into a singles hitter when he got a hit at all. It will be nice having the real Paulie back next year. It was a sad sight watching him bat the second half. QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 2, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) Kansas City shut the White Sox down almost every game they played and the Kansas City rotation sucked. It's almost impossible to be as bad as the Sox hitters were vs. KC's stable of lousy pitchers. Even Hochevar had success vs. the Sox. If we lose to them on Opening Day next year my head may explode.

The problem is nobody else had problems beating those Detroit pitchers before we let them off the hook. Detroit was losing to everybody not named Chicago for a long stretch and those KC pitchers are horrible. If you stretch it back a bit, we got shut down by a lot of other clown pitchers this season.

Why stretch it back any further?

IlliniKrush Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 LOL Sportscenter. Top 10 plays, #3 was Dan Johnson's 3 home runs. Problem is they showed Konerko's HR as the 2nd one...then for the 3rd one..."Johnson, back on the left side for his 3rd one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
