Another overreaction I'm done with this team thread

BUMPED JUST FOR ROBIN'S IDIOTIC LINE-UP

 

No Eaton. Sands hitting 5th. Rollins actually hitting down in the order when the only pitchers he can hit are left-handed.

 

If our manager thinks so little of Garcia, maybe the GM needs to make a change and actually find a hitter he does believe in.

I we could only change those names to Albers and Puke.

They could make some changes right now just using Charlotte.

Rollins is embarrassing against right handed hitters...play Saladino, he can handle it defensively at least, and letting him hit is an investment, which is more than you get letting Rollins hit.

 

They could dump Sands and call up any number of guys from Charlotte.

Why don't they? Is it yet another Robin/Cooper thing?

I've figured out ONE way in the future to make the Sox less dysfunctional and maybe a .500 team again. (This team isn't a .500 team).

OK ... we have to copy the Yankees old deal where as a large market team we acquire TWO closers. Now the Sox bullpen has been really really poor the Ventura era. It's so bad now it's unfathomable it could be this bad.

Robertson, however, is GREAT. What we need is another closer to become the setup man. With LIGHTS OUT relievers to close it down, your odds of winning grows substantially.

 

I'm serious. What do you think of my plan??? The last time we had two good ones was when ... when Thonrnton was still great? Before he turned to s***? Every year we acquire guys in the bullpen that on paper SHOULD be able to get some outs. Every year they turn into JAGs, (Just Another Guy). Folks .... Hahn needs to acquire two highly paid closer types. It's the only way to reverse this curse of rotten bullpen. The longer we pretend stiffs like Albers, Duke, Petricka, etc., I could name 20 if I looked up the rosters of the last couple years, the longer we are going to SUCK at a maximum winning rate of about .480. BUILD A BACK END OF THE BULLPEN HAHN.

Oh, I forgot, failed miserably to bring in a "good" (not even asking for great anymore) bat this offseason...especially a LHed one.

 

I wanted Cespedes badly but our small market owner was content to leave the team only good enough to play .500 or slightly better baseball

Worst run team I can remember. How is JR okay with this?

 

Fans will voice their frustration with their wallets which will swiftly be criticized by White Sox brass

 

At least the Dollar Bill Blackhawks could draft

KW at least has been successful at getting White Sox fans to turn on each other for not supporting the team...instead of focusing their anger at the most appropriate targets. That's been his biggest accomplishment by far the last five years or so, protecting his job.

Seriously, though. When does fandom get fun? It's like you knew they were going to blow the lead but you didn't want to believe it.

You know there's a BIG problem when fans feel like there might be more benefit to the long-term future of the organization when they lose (and openly root for that to occur)...whether the losing's consequence/perceived benefit is about higher draft picks or Robin Ventura getting fired, Hahn, KW, etc.
