White Sox

what i see you saying is that KW should have expected his starters to decline, but i don't see what you would have had him do.

 

I'm not saying he should have done anything in particular. I was questioning the "pitchers didn't perform" line. And I do question adding another innings eating mediocre pitcher to a staff full of them, but if I was a WS fan, I wouldn't have much to complain about. Maybe he should have tried trading off 2 pitchers for 1 great one, and filling in with another mediocre guy elsewhere. But it worked last year, I see why he'd want to stick with them this year, it wasn't bad. He should have expected a decline though. And the team was very close to the playoffs even with that decline (and an overly dramatic decline from Buerhle that wasn't expected - although I've been thinking that guy would have troubles for years now, don't know why, just never liked him). In reality, they probably win a couple more games if Buerhle didn't absolutely suck, though that might not have been enough.

 

they declined pretty badly, and i don't think that anyone expected such an egg to be laid by the starters, though. KW DID improve the offense significantly, which is all that he really could do. he might have been able to bring in a better starter than vazquez, but why change something that worked last season? why not just ride it until it breaks down, and then do something else?

 

unfortunately for KW, he has some big bucks on the books and will have to really play the part of the genius next year.

Did anyone here Lawrence Holmes on the score today about 6:20-6:30

 

He was whining like a little girl about the Sox. Pathetic.

 

seriously, they got a ring last year, were in it pretty much all of this year, and have an agressive GM that will Fix the rotation and part of the lineup.

 

The Sox will be back.

 

Maybe Lawrence can just root for whoever wins the world series this year. He was a Cubs fan last time I listened to the Score. I have no respect for those people.

 

I honestly have not heard the score in a year. Glad to know nothing has changed there...

Really. I thought he was always a Sox fan.

Actually it's gotton worse.

 

Mike North was constantly bashing the Bears in the preseason

and won't admit he was wrong now.

He is probably the #1 problem with the station.

I know it was a big one move, but Williams really only made one move to improve the offense in bringing in Thome. In conjunction with that the CF offense got worse. The big reason for the Sox offensive improvements is from guys that were already on the team.

 

And I last listened to the Score like 4 years ago, so that could be around when Holmes switched.
