Getting Pictures Taken 2010 Fantasy Camp

Just a little video clip from the Chicago White Sox 2010 Fantasy Camp.

Not Afraid Of Team That Can't HIt


It looks like with the White Sox one game under .500 Kenny and company will be sticking with what brought them. With only one trade so far the Sox appear to be all in with nothing else to bet with. Don't blame them. As Adam Dunn continues to hit fourth in the lineup and Rios in CF hitting .205 most Sox fans don't see this team making a run for the AL Central.  Even with the Sox great starting pitching and bullpen most teams know the White Sox will not out hit them.

It's too bad the Sox have invested millions into a player that is being paid to do one thing and thats hit. So what happens when this player doesn't hit. You're all in with nothing to show for it.  At the age of 32 maybe Dunn can get in shape and work on his swing in the offseason. Otherwise what else can the Sox front office do.
Some players hold out when they think they are being under paid. Will Adam Dunn give some of the money back from the 2011 season.
Heck its Frank Thomas Day. Put him in uniform and lets go take 2 of 3 from the BoSox.

Dunn and Ozzie Make For A Long Summer

I know its sick but its something enjoyable about watching Adam Dunn struggle. It's really amazing that someone that has been so bad for so long can still be hitting fourth in a major league lineup.
I know Ozzie goes with his "gut" when it comes to playing players, walking opposing hitters and putting on the steal but he really should start reading the scouting reports. Without Joey Cora, Ozzie would be even more lost when it comes to managing the White Sox. Even with the terrible seasons by Rios and Dunn the Sox still are within striking distance.  Sure it's doubtful the Sox will ever be more than 2 games above the .500 mark but its fun to dream.  Lets face it when you continue to pitch to guys like Billy Butler when he is the only guy that can hurt you, you know your manager is sleeping at the wheel. So sad because the team has talent.

White Sox Fans Aging Faster

Has anyone looked surprised to see you? Have they said that they didnt reconize you? Did they say you aged? Lets hope not. But if you are a Chicago White Sox fan their is no doubt that you have aged this season. The stress of the first 92 games this year has aged all of us.

Lets count the ways. Adam Dunn. That is as much as I will write about him. Enough already. Its all on him now.
We have a third baseman with 1 home run. So much for a power position. We have a base stealer that has been called out at second as many times as he has been called safe in Juan Pierre. Lets face it this team has no speed. Sure Rios is fast but he doesn't get on base to steal. He is hitting in the low .200 along with Gordon Beckman and I bet you just aged reading that. Agh the stress.

The stress has been so bad that Kenny Williams is yelling at Don Cooper to work with his pitchers to keep the baserunners closer. Sorry but AJ can't toss anyone out either. His delievery to second base is one of the slowest in major league baseball.  So not only is Cooper trying to find a closer he has Kenny on his back about holding on runners. So Cooper who couldn't get permission from Williams to talk to the New York Yankees about their pitching coach position this past off season is really stressed out.
Then you have Ozzies boy twitting about this and that. Hey what ever happend to Bobby Jenks?

Anyway with no power from your left fielder, third baseman, second baseman and center fielder its going to be a long second half. As a fan I wish they would just lose 10 in a row so I can get on with my life. But even at 5 games back I still think they can make a run for it. Well okay really I dont think they can make a run for it. Just not enough talent.  Oh well we can see how Sale and Beckman do with the remaing 70 games left. Who knows maybe Tyler Flowers will have some nice games if AJ ever lets him play.

White Sox fans take some Bayer before you watch games from now on. No heart attacks needed please.

To Moose Skowron I hope you are feeling better.
