How can I not be jaded....

Because right now all I see is the Indians pulling this game out late 3-2.......
the stench of failure

*sigh*
You know what? I'm thrilled that Joe drilled one. The part of my brain that is a numbers driven, win now, stat dork wants to see him gone ASAP. But Konerko, Crede, and Buehrle have that special place for me where once they're gone I'll miss that "these are the guys of '05" feeling.
I get that people want Fields to get his crack. I just want to see Joe Crede playing like Joe Crede. I suppose it falls into a sentimental category that is more or less gone from SSS. Everyone around here seems to spend their time rooting against players they want to see gone rather than rooting for the team. The site has a much more cold, angry feel than back in the day...and it isn't about winning and losing...it's just a general personality thing I guess. But to spend more time being upset with Crede and Uribe homers (oh no! now we have to put up with Juan longer!) than celebrating...I just don't get it.
I know it's pointless to say at this point. But I just feel like we're turning into "nothing is ever good enough" New York type fans.

...I spent practically all day-every day here from the day the site opened until mid '06 when I just couldn't take the doom and gloom. That was more of a "my heart is breaking" thing over the fall off. But then it seemed to creep into the comments and such. Maybe I'm just being overly pissy today.

If I thought this team could contend...
I'd be rooting for all these mediocre ballplayers. But since I don't think that, I want to see ballplayers who are part of the future, rather than seeing bits and pieces of the past.

check the comment thread from game one
we're a jovial bunch, SSH excluded. It's just hard with the constant bungling. Joe's only in my shithouse because he's been popping eeeeverything up. If he performs adequately, I have no reason to dislike him.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
You make some excellent points
Except for the "everyone around here..." part. Many a fun season had some less than desirable players/managers/coaches and there's no reason why this can't be one too.
Next time, Bhoov, do some research.
Yeah...
A little too general on my part. I still know a lot of you guys...and for the most part everyone is cool

Scott Linebrink, bullpen GOD!
I mean DJ, take a look at him. I mean, he just looks like a real ballplayer.
I'd just like to see someone other than Jenks come in
and you get the feeling that you're getting out of a friggin' inning without a run scoring. I hope he fits the bill.
Linebrink looked pretty dang decent right there
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Good movement too
Velocity wasn't top notch, but I think that's in part the early season weather.

aw thanks toonder
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
linebrink has pitched more than an inning
like nine times in the last two years. and i'm guessing that second inning wasn't the ninth inning of a one run game.

Bobby Jenks would have been about the last person
I would have expected to "learn how to pitch"
The "I've got the 100MPH heat if I want it" is a nice punchline around here, with good reason, but it really does appear like he knows what he's doing out there.

the law of conservation of masset: no matter how much masset you use up, there is always masset in your system.
like professor larry said
[SM]:
"He cannot come here without getting some at-bats," said Guillen of Owens, who could come off the disabled list Tuesday, a scheduled off-day for the White Sox. "He's not that good. He's got to go out there and do what everybody else has to do."It's one thing to be on rehab and one thing to be playing good. You can tell me, 'I'm ready to go,' and all of the sudden you didn't even get a hit yet or you didn't swing the bat good."
Getting at-bats during extended Spring Training, against kids, as Guillen pointed out, won't be enough for Owens to get acclimated to the tough pitching the White Sox will be facing over the next week. With their Minor League seasons beginning on Thursday night, Guillen would rather Owens to play for Triple-A Charlotte or Double-A Birmingham.
Of greatest importance to Guillen is having Owens back for the long haul. The White Sox want to make sure he's completely healthy and not back on Tuesday but gone a week or two later.
"We don't have a set date for him to come back. I haven't even heard from him or from the trainers [in Arizona]," said Guillen of Owens. "We have to see how he's doing. He has to come back here 100 percent.
"I don't want him to be here playing every other day, because he's sore. We have plenty of guys here that can cover that situation.
"When he comes back, we'll make the decision what kind of move we'll make with the roster," Guillen added. "I think the guys that don't help us, they're the one that's going to go down. Right now, I don't have any idea how we're going to do it."
my guess is we'll see something of a tryout over the course of the next two weeks or so
i don't think the sox knew exactly what they had in alexei but wanted to make a show of good faith and let him know they value him. getting this extended try out should be a good thing and will probably not cost us that much. i think we can already say he can play a legit CF anyway.

Danks:

Most impressive for him. If anyone saw the game, was it his new cutter?

also, work/school allowed, couldn't you drive 1/2 hour
