Series Thread: Three Games In The Windy City With The White Sox June30 - July 2

shorten it up Carlos, you only need a base hit

 

[Bmurph]

But they look so much alike.

apparently our HOF broadcast team can miss a guy walking off of 1st base and another guy walking out of the dugout to take his place running

Seriously, that's "one of" the downsides with him. And frankly, we've got at least one other egghead on this team already. And that's one too many.

Losing 2 out of 3 to the worst team in the AL with both losses being attributed to the bullpen.

This team sucks. Maybe JD can trade Lucroy for a good reliever, but I don't see this team sniffing a wild card unless the bullpen problem is fixed in a major way

Surely you're not shocked are ya?.....Even surprised?.......Really?

 

[Bmurph]

Just not a good team, and there are not enough BP pieces available and the cost will be to high to try and make this team a contender this year. Might as well sell

yep and that was a terrible AB in that spot

 

[Bmurph]

I have said all year this wasnt a .500 team, but 4 blown saves on a road trip is ridiculous

 

[Bmurph]

Nope, not in the slightest

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

At what point do we start holding the coaches accountable ...we strike out way too much ...our risp is 2.88 worst in the league

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

We should've swept this team ...

 

[Bmurph]

Why would it change w the same pieces in the BP Bacsik? Just hoping it changes wont make that the case

 

[Bmurph]

We should've swept this team ...

Except that this team doesnt execute in almost any phase of the game most of the time

First, you've got to start understanding there's not much difference between us and them. We both are not good teams. We're better than them, but then again, it seems according to you that any team who could lose to the "worst team in the AL" ain't worth their collective weight.

Second, Lucroy is actually playing better IMO. Not great, and no, I don't want us to throw money at him to keep him.....It's just a little role reversal between he and Chirinos. My point is, he's not exactly chump-change.

Third, you've been begged to have the normal "problem with solution formula" for seasons now. When's that gonna start exactly?

Yeah those pesky Sox

 

[Bmurph]

It was a one out walk Jeff

 

[Bmurph]

Quintana a premium pitcher Jeff, thats awful nice of you but he's been bad most of the year

 

[Bmurph]

Jason Grilli fucking sucks, I would rather see a young kid get some opportunity than see a shitty veteran suck it up just to say we have one

 

[saddles]

We need 3 of the teams in the wild card hunt to get hot and put us out of our misery.

We can hope

I would rather take a step back now and hope to be good in the new ballpark than to try and hold out hope this season, only to lose a WC game or the first series and give away more prospects to do so
