Do you people actually like hawk?

Not really. I loved him when I was younger. His catchphrases can be pretty good at times. But as I've gotten older, his whole act has gotten pretty old. And he constantly bitches about the umpires....one bad call goes against the Sox and he doesn't let it go for the entire game. The worst part is that Reinsdorf will never get rid of him and Hawk says he wants to die in the booth.

Loved these throwbacks they wore last night. Too bad they didn't wear the shorts that they actually wore back in the day...

As expected, they are bringing back Ventura. Fading further and further into obscurity. Managers definitely get too much blame and too much credit, but just don't see how you can bring Ventura back after 3 straight losing seasons especially this past season that had high expectations. As usual, there aren't many consequences if you're one of Reinsdorf's guys. It's hard to see anything changing as long as Kenny Williams is still there. I can't even imagine how many people won't be renewing season tickets. What an embarrassment.

2-0! Nice start to the season winning 1-run games back to back. A good start is key for this team.

What a start! Pitching has been out of this world. I worry about the offense a bit because the pitching can't be this good all year. Garcia still drives me nuts...won't be surprised if he gets sent down to Charlotte soon and they give someone else a shot. Can't be any worse than he has been.

Yeah, I was expecting the Sox to be somewhere in the middle of the pack this year. Crazy start!




Go Cubs!

Still playing great. So happy that they finally cut ties with Danks.....they have a chance to make a run this year so no more fucking around with that guy. He just never was the same after his shoulder surgery a few years ago. I'm loving Lawrie. He's definitely the type of guy this team needed after the dead ass clubhouse they had last year. Abreu is heating up and still waiting for Frazier to really get going. Should be a fun summer.

Watch the Sox go on a streak right now up until the trade deadline and then decide not to be sellers. That would be awful. Trade everyone!!!

It's been so long since anyone has given a fuck about this shit team that 81 is still on the last page.

LOL. Yep, it's pretty much just me talking to myself in here a few times per season. Sad.

You did soooo good debunking the stereotype that is white sox fans in the Cubs thread. Then, with one post here you brought everyone back to reality.

Trade everyone! Time to quit fucking around and commit to a full rebuild.

Well it looks like the rebuild is starting. Sucks to trade a guy as good as Sale, but it had to be done. It's a shame that they wasted 5 years of an elite pitcher like Sale and he didn't even come close to pitching in the playoffs. This front office has been awful...they better not fuck up this rebuild.

this seems like a good place to voice my hatred for frank thomas' GNC steroid commercial.

"and, guys? she'll like it too"

just awful.

IF, and it's a big IF with the White sox. If they can develop these young guys they win big on this trade. Sale's ego is going to catch up to him this season. Cutting up the jerseys last year was the final nail in the coffin. I think he has a mediocre year in Boston and then fizzles out to an obscurity in 3 years.

Well, the way I'm looking at it is they're going to trade a few guys and end up with 10-15 prospects. If half of those guys hit and become contributors, they should be in good shape in 2-3 years. But you are right, it's all a very big IF with the white sox based on the past decade of futility. But, they couldn't keep on doing what they were doing....I'm happy they at least have a plan here. Now they just need to execute it.

Gonna be a great year! We're back babies!!!
