My favorite teams
  1. Chicago White Sox
  2. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Fire
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
  1. Chicago State Cougars
  2. DePaul Blue Demons
  3. Illinois-Chicago Flames

And because we are a Chicago baseball team. Sox better come back, I wanted the Chicago sweep over KC and :fire: had a comback win over KC... time for Sox to do the same!

Addison Reed being disrespected from being named the closer.

this division sucks. you would think with the emergence of dunn and rios and konerko being konerko (while injured) they would do something, anything at 2b. i am not opposed to mcpherson coming up either. morel is sad.

Beckham bat seems to be coming around. Morel on the hand is giving us nothing at all. How long will we stay with him at the hot corner?

So -- I assumed if Dunn returned to Dunn-form, this would be a team that COULD win the AL-C, especially if the Tigers faltered...But man, the bullpen and 3b...

The number one reason is we aren't in the NL. :)

I think I would ditch Morel. I can get another guy with a lessor glove but a much improved bat.

I know Gordo can't hit. I do think a few months in the minors would fix things. That said, his glove is elite so even if he never hits until we get a decent glove guy that can hit like a Ray Durham, I am ok with Bacon.

A guy who can't hit, shouldn't have a nickname let alone of one named Bacon.

see im not like cubs fans where i get excited for a win and forget the rest of the whole picture. when you lose 2 out 3 to the royals, and you are in a weak division where you are only 2.5 out and you dont make any changes, you fail in the big picture. some fans like to hold onto hope over 1 win i refuse to do this until they correct the situation

These losses will come back to bite the Sox in the ass down the stretch. You've gotta capitalize and win the games that you're supposed to, especially against a weaker division foe like Kansas City.

The farm is weak, but again, it's not. Guys like Sale, Ramirez, Morel, Beckham, De Aza, all came from there. Do we promote way too quickly? Probably do. Right now not much we can do with the minors except to slowly build it up and not dump even our best prospects which I admit right now isn't that great and let them develop internally.

Though if we keep signing FA and trade our "prospects" for proven talent I guess I don't really care how awful the system is.
