Danks' next start pushed back: whitesox.com

Well, since the Sox can't beat good teams...

they weren’t going to go very far anyways, even if they do make the playoffs.

Caller brought up the TB series and the less than spectacular O's series

He dismissed it – keeps going back to Wed. game – and saying its only been these last 3 games… adding Linebrink will be the thing they need – Overall the callers are consistant on the season is over. And in a very resonable manner, not the normal angry panicked fashion.

Richar was traded for Griffey because Richar was useless to the roster in the present and the future...

Meanwhile, the Sox will need a CF’er for when Swisher replaces Konerko at 1B.

And this guy was traded for Richar who was traded for the rotting corpse of Griffey to play CF. The A’s just called him up too.

That was truly an awful trade. Kenny turned Aaron Cunningham into half of a decaying Griffey. I guess Junior gets points for providing comedy relief while playing center field.

Just like Buerhrle pitched an awful game today,

so he is an idiot/no talent hack. When you win more than you lose, you are better than most. And KW wins more than he loses, some in a big way.

So quit cherry-picking negative occurances to extrapolate a generally negative conclusion when it is not warranted (as in, we are tied for the 4th best record in the AL). I believe your posts would be received better if you balanced out positives and negatives – like, perspective. You have a family, work, pay taxes? Good – act like an adult and present both sides, and I’ll listen. Otherwise, the “we suck” mantra after a loss or two wears thin.

Correct...

Win some trades, lose some… I’m more concerned with the play since TB last week… I’m also concerned that if we do make the playoffs we have a roster spot being taken by Jr – I guess you could go with fewer pitchers to open a spot for some speed… but that’s not Ozzie

It isn't just one loss...

The Sox are 15-24 against good A.L. teams (Rays, Angels, Red Sox, and Twins). That is a decent sample size of games to get an estimation of this team’s talent level compared to the best teams in the A.L.

Play .500 against the good teams, beat up the weaklings. Has that strategy ever changed? Red Sox at home are not a bad team, I believe.

The Sox are also 8-11 against the Twins, whom they are supposed to be better than...

The logical fallacies you engage in continually astound me

who is saying that the Sox are better than Tampa Bay, Anahiem or Boston — anyone? Yet you keep on attacking that strawman, over and over and over and over.

No, the Sox aren’t better than any of the three teams listed above (when healthy), and that 15-20 record is — although a relatively small sample size — most likely an indictment of that. I don’t see what’s so terrible about that record, though — playing at about a .430 winning percentage against three of baseball’s top five teams isn’t anything to be ashamed of.

The knee-jerk bullshit is so fucking tiring.

I wonder if Carl Pavano is a possibility?

He has been a huge bust with that contract from the Yankees but he has pitched two nice starts since coming back from the D.L. He was placed on waivers a few days ago and he is only owed a few million for the rest of the season and his buyout for next season. Maybe the Yankees would eat some of it to dump him?

Around $3.75 million left on Pavano's contract...

Link:

With John Maine a strong possibility to be done for the season because of a shoulder problem, the Mets might be interested in Pavano if the Yankees agree to pick up some of the $3.78 million left on the contract. There is approximately $1.83 million remaining this year and a $1.95 million buyout on his contract.

But I just want some video of his last start — he is only throwing 88 – 89 MPH. I think I would rather see what Richard can do.
