Alexei...YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! White Sox win in yet another nail biter.

The errors need to stop. This would've been an easy win if this defense could've kept their shit together.

His last few outings have been positive.

The less batters he's faced, the better he's been.

Don't overdo it Oz. Let him keep building on it.

Ohman will end up sucking for you all...I'm just glad he's not on the north side anymore...However his expectations for the Sox are much lower than his expectations were for the Chubbies, so he may be aight.

That being said, helluva win for you all tonight. The A's have no offense, but that pitching...damn...

Maybe... I've ripped on Ohman, aside from tonight, but he sure isn't as good as that Notre Dame receiver you guys put on the mound alot ;)

he sucks equally as bad as ohman did for us...the majority of us aren't fans of his.

I really, really wanted my team to draft him....

you know...the Bears...

Rongey was really whining about Pierre getting booed tonight, both on Facebook/Twitter and on the postgame show. He was calling it stupid and saying that it affects players' psyches. He even alluded to a player (who he wouldn't name BTW) saying he wouldn't mind being traded because of the fans' criticisms.

1. Professional athletes know that they live under a microscope, even more so nowadays with the advent of smartphones, Facebook and Twitter. If their egos were so fragile, they would've quit long ago. No professional athlete would've made it this far because people handled him with kid gloves.

2. Comparatively speaking, Chicago fans and media are soft on pro athletes. Have you ever listened to Yankees or Red Sox postgame shows? If Rongey ever hosted one of them, he'd last five minutes before he ran home crying to his mommy.

If some nameless player wants to be traded, then trade him to the Cubs, where below average play is rewarded by beer-drinking fans. This side of town wants to see above average play. If that type of pressure bothers this nameless player, then maybe this team isn't the right place for them.

my guess: Mark Teahan..just a hunch

if the player feels this way with the sox, the cub fans will be 10 times as hard.

I disagree, atleast in the way that I look at things. I'm sure others would see it differently because they have more fans so it sounds louder... but I would look at it like this, in a small example: 4 fans booing me vs 10 drunks booing me. I would be more insulted by the former then the latter.
