It's unfortunate the inferiority complex is on the other foot...so to speak

:obama:

What are you talking about?

The quoted post was in reference to another poster saying he didn't want to be a fan of a team with a worse offense in the league. I thought most people knew that the Cubs aren't in the same league as the Sox.

Just noticing that your Cubs insecurity couldnt let that go, huh?

My team sucks. What's your point? That Sox fans even while still nominally involved in the playoff picture seem to rely on beimg better as the Cubs as some sort of justification is my insecurity. Or that you want to blow out of proportion a snarky comment which by the way I was right about it?

The point is...if the situation is reversed, its a Sox fan with an insecurity complex trolling the Cubs board. Since your Cub fan, its ok because the Cubs suck? I get it, we are both making sweeping generalizations about the other side of town. Its just one of those things that annoys me.

For the record: No to Kevin Youkilis.

Uhm. I try not to but in but while dabynsky is a Cub fan he's a very knowledgable baseball fan. Has he trolled? Haven't we all? He's not trolling now thou

It's obvious that the Sox need something different at 3B. Every single guy is gonna have a back or other injury problem, but the thing is that we need that offense.

The Sox don't score runs right now and last time I checked that's how you win baseball games.

Forgot about De Aza. He's 2nd to Konerko in WARP so far this year. I've been really impressed with him so far.

AJ is always pretty good, but never stellar. I don't expect him to be stellar though because he's the catcher.

I'd like to see more offensive production out of the infield.

ramirez im not worried about.

beckham started playing well in ANA, hopefully it continues.

3b was an injured player there all year. we wont know what we will get out of 3b, but from here on out no matter if it is hudson,youk, mac etc should be better than the worst OPS in baseball in morel.

also the red sox would be fucking stupid to take the top notch prospect out and send him back down when youk returns. middlebrooks is sick.

Definitely excited about Beckham. He's been hot lately, but not sure if that will continue or not.

I think the big thing is that all year we think and know that 3B won't be a position that would produce this year. That's why if the Sox can get someone to produce there it would be a huge swing.

youk may not be moved after all with ross going down. im not sure if the rsox want to keep gonzo in the outfield long term but this is probably their temp solution. he could get moved deadline time but i dont think right now.

It's not more offense that we need. It's solid performance at career averages from the guys we got

So you're saying that you wouldn't take Youkillis with back issues over Morel with back issues? C'mon. Youk is better.

Even if the current players hit for career averages the White Sox don't win a championship. They might win the division and maybe a playoff series, but they won't win anything important. You can't say that with the current roster, the Sox are truly one of the best teams in the league.

Morel glove >>>> Youkie bat

If I get Youkie for free with cash yes

You severely underestimate the value of a glove
