Shields going tomorrow. See what he's got. Offense just doesn't have it going. Maybe Morneau will help this lineup, but when you have the middle of your lineup not hitting, and constantly getting runners in scoring position with less than 2 outs not driving them in, not much can help. Guys not doing what they are getting paid to do. It's all mental right now. They need a spark. Talent is there, momentum is not.

I am hoping for new ownership and organizational change, but I hope that doesn't come with a move.

Exactly. New ownership many heads will roll. Kennys first on the chopping nlock

A move? LOL. That's never going to happen, but it is a cubz fan's wet dream.

 

This may be the end of our season in terms of competitiveness, but it isn't the end of the world.

 

Put Saladino back as starting shortstop, look for an outfielder or two and some bullpen help.

Hurry Burdi.

Morneau is a month away. If you're counting on him to help this lineup...they need to win some series and at least hang out around .500 for the next month, which would be a big improvement from the last month.

Good news: One step closer to Montreal.

 

Too cold. Havana w Abreu is a natural. Obama gave Castro a White Sox cap when he visited.

Can we stop with the stupid relocating theories? It's utter f***ing nonsense. Baseball is looking to expand and has at least two franchises with legit cases to relocate. The Sox aren't going anywhere until their sweetheart lease deal ends in the very distant future and when it does they'll likely move to the suburbs or lakefront. They aren't leaving the Chicago metropolitan area.

Enough with the 'Robin doesn't swing the bat or throw the ball." You can say that about any manager or coach anywhere ever.

 

What a good coach does is get the most out of his players. Perhaps even inspire them to play extra hard or fight their way out of a slump. I ask you now - FOUR years into his tenure - have you seen ANY Of that? I haven't. Apathy is for the birds.

 

Now, individual blame:

 

Adam Eaton .259. He was so good to start the year it's pretty astounding that he's hitting .259. Can't steal a base. Not getting it done. Doesn't walk either.

Abreu .260. A solor homer whoop dee doo. I'll believe the breakout when he REGULARLY hits it hard and isn't being out homered by Trayce Thompson.

Cabrera is doing exactly what we got him for. That said, he's not a #3 hitter. He get a pass.

Frazier. People love the HRS right. GUess what? .211 is a JOKE. A JOKE! Adam Dunn territory. By far his career worst. And think anyone would be whining about Melky bunting if Frazier can hit a fly ball instead of a pop out? Nope. Underwhelming.

Lawrie: Great start. All the more focus on .235. 77K's in 227 Abs.

Avila/Navarro. Avila .244 thanks to a hot spirt. Before that yikes. Navarro. All yikes.

Avi. 251 and another year of breakout talk. .250 with little power. Few walks, lots of Ks. Little speed. TURN THE PAGE

Shuck .152. Hello Charlotte.

Anderson .222. Can hit a fastball but what else. Still maintain July will be his first base on balls. 3 games in and counting.

 

Offense is full of underperformers. Rodon less than par. Latos the same. Danks the same. Albers the same. Robertson the same. Jennings the same.

 

ANd yet Ventura sleeps at night with his job.

 

TURN THE PAGE.

 

Morneau will join a team ten-fifteen games under at this rate. Can't beat a beat up injury prone team down on their luck AT HOME.

 

Boring and ugly.

Well said but cubz fans and at least one guy trying to inject his politics like to troll with that nonsense.

If the Sox stay in Chicago it will be at 35th and Sields because no one

is going to give them a billion bucks to build a new stadium especially when Chicago and Illinois are just about bankrupt.
