greg775 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Boy when the Sox get in these funks they look like the worst team in baseball. Up and down up and down. Losing streaks suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Losers of 4 in a row. April the 26th since Tigers lead the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I hate losing to the kitties as much as anyone, and losing 1st place. But I want this to be a close race and a fun one. There's no reason the Sox have to turtle after this road trip. s***, we've been getting by with a ton of inexperience in the bullpen and a couple of our "best" hitters going through prolonged slumps. I fully expect this to be a competitive 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have to stop talking like this. Seriously. Look at the payroll. Look at the players Kenny acquired over the years to win nothing, that actually did something in the first 84 games. This team is supposed to win games. The "would you have taken" scenarios are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 04:35 PM) Adam Dunn. Such a fearsome #3 hitter. Nice job, big man. Way to get it started. Sox need to trade for hitting, not pitching. A second baseman that can hit would be a welcome addition. Also, a good hitting outfielder that would allow Viciedo to DH at times, especially against LHP. If they could get someone to take Dunn in a trade, all the better but I doubt anyone would want him.

Nothing new under the sun here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It's hard to tell how Sale was today without being able to see. Just a bad outing our was his stuff diminished... Any indication he is wearing down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying the Sox suck. I am saying I'm not convinced we're going to escape the curse of being one or two above or under .500 this season, now that the team is in a horrible funk again.

Any indication he is wearing down? pretty much the same exact thing as Peavy last game. 1 bad inning and great the rest. At some point we have to score runs, it doesn't matter how great our pitching is if we can't score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think a starting pitcher is most important though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Tomorrow is a real big game. Sox will either have the lead or 1.5 behind and swept with Peavy and Sale and facing a guy with a 10.00 ERA game 3. They have to start scoring some runs again. Maybe tomorrow is when it begins.

hi8is Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) the team is in a horrible funk again. They've lost 4 in a row - two of which where very tough losses. They've lost 7 of the last ten. Before that, they where on fire. No reason to think of this as horrible in my mind. Just turn it around and get back to winning series and winning in the central. It's far from over - enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
