Y2Jimmy0 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) LOL. For weeks the toast of baseball. A 3-7 homestand follows that pathetic road trip. This team is severely flawed. Fire or demote somebody, please! Oh wait, team is still in first place. No need to panic. Started 23-10. 4-11 since. At least Abreu is back.

Green Line Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Dont even know what to say anymore. I mean COME ON baseball gods, can we White Sox fans have just a bit of happiness? It's been so freaking long since this team was respectable, and right when things finally seem to be looking up they rip our hearts out. Need to take a week off from the Sox and cool off. Hopefully a week from now we're all talking about a 5 game winning streak. Things can change fast in baseball.

elrockinMT Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) You mean if god forbid a Sox player makes a tough play defensively with 2 outs? So many of the 2 out runs allowed of late could have been prevented if the defense came up big: - Jackson should have caught Desmond's 2 out triple - Jackson was close to Napoli's 2 out triple - Eaton was close to Chisenhall's 2 out triple Sometimes you just don't get the play and sometimes you do. I don't see it as lack of effort. When youvarevstruggling those "almost" plays are magnified. It certainly is an unforgiving game much like some fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't beg to the baseball gods when Chicago has had as much success as it has had. WS title 11 years ago; Bulls dynasty; BlackHawks dynasty.

Lip Man 1 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Not much you can say. 5th starter hasn't won a game yet and we are almost at Memorial Day and the hitting has disappeared plus even more alarming to me, they have started to make more errors and made base running blunders again. This club will probably be out of first place by the end of the week. Now in a real free fall 4-11 since they blew that game in Texas. 3-7 on a very important home stand. Two out runs being allowed now are staggering. It's all gone south and given the recent history and inability to consistently beat teams in the division (which continues save for Minnesota) the future doesn't look great. We'll see. Win 82 game at least and you can say progress is being made with a straight face. Mark Edited May 25, 2016 by Lip Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to go or not go based on how I feel the team is going to do ... but I can't take going with my Royals friends who offered me a freebie for Thursday night in the club level seats. They will be in gloating mode and their fans are ready to erupt and start re-living their WS year volume of cheers. Pop up storms supposed to continue all four days, probably too intermittent to rain out any of the 4 games. I'll give Sox benefit of doubt and say we go 1-3, though don't be surprised at the 0-4 sombrero. Could I make a humble request of Robin? Coop? Have Rodon hit Escobar or Hosmer their first at bat in retaliation for the Lawrie hitting and show we've come to compete? Just hit them on the meaty part of the shoulder so nobody gets hurt.

caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 82 wins after this start and the only ones they can sell progress to will be Merkin's and Boyer's children... White Sox have had close to perfect health. Again. The Indians have been without Brantley and Carrasco. Royals w/o Gordon, Moustakas, Medlen and Young. Tigers without Maybin and Daniel Norris.

I get you and you are correct but that's exactly what they'll be doing because they have no other choice. They only good thing will be Ventura will be gone but he'll probably be replaced by another stooge / inexperienced person. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 It's going to be an interesting trip. When the schedule came out, I looked at this as the trip that could be the end of Robin as manager. That won't happen, but all of the good feeling the 23-10 start had would be out the window if they go 4-6 or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) And even the putrid Twins have to get hot sometime, right? Too bad Sale/Eaton/Quintana/Abreu/Robertson can't pull a Joakim Noah...put a liitle more pressure on management/coaching staff. We've been saying for years the White Sox can't get buried in April or fans will give up. Better hope Tim Anderson is ready because they have to find a way to inject some spark back into this team.
