Level; a slightly poetic version of regression to mean.

Baserunning Blunders – Leading the way in this catagory is Butler who gets thrown out all the time trying to stretch hits and also leading is Gathright who steals bases and gets thrown out in stupid situations to do such a thing

Defense – MARK TEAHEN!! he looks awful in left so far and i hope it improoves and TPJ he hasnt gotten enough errors he really deserves; letting balls drop in front of him or behind him 2 times and misplaying balls atleast 3 times it really gets old especially when his hitting is shit too

Agressive Hitting – 3-0 Count Swings. Sometimes they good sometimes they bad.. TEAHEN tore me up one game when he had a 3-0 count with a lefty pitching (and he doesnt hit leftys well) with 2 guys on and butler coming up next.. he swing and grounded out.. it just pisses me off.. then grudzielanek swings at the first pitch on thursday with the bases loaded late in the game to ground out CAN SOMEONE WORK A COUNT.. and this team swings at a lot of first pitches but the time it really pisses me off is in clutch situations (2 on or bases loaded) and late in the innings when losing, do people understand we need BASERUNNERS we dont need you to get a hit just get on.. work the damn count

Hustle – Things from Guillen lolligagging in right field to get a ball to baserunners not even going to first on a pop up it really hurts the team.. this isnt a team that is gonna get a lot of runs based off their bats they have to hustle ALL OF THE TIME. no breaks with this team..

This is all i have to rant about im sure some of you agree

how to approach an answer. I know you’re being funny (gallows humor, although that’s too dramatic at this point), but I’m not sure one what level I’m supposed to answer. If this is funny, but seriously, which of these would you pick if these were the only options, I’d take the first one, as all the silly “aggressiveness” seems like pressing to “make something happen.”

[That’s what she said]

If it’s just all and all what the most stupid, cliched thing, you gotta go with #3, every time. I guess that’s too obvious. Maybe we should look up and cut-and-paste one of Ozzie Guillen’s typical off-season rants about how they’re going to do a lot more bunting and stuff (invariably followed by the White Sox being one of the league leaders in homers).

but put the onus on himself, which is also a subcategory

if we win tomorrow we can credit that

but I sure enjoyed how you tagged the article

They’ve done some things well and haven’t done some things well. There are clear areas of improvement and areas that need to be improved. I’m very happy with a .500 team. I think anyone should be.

This team is going to win some and lose some. Sometimes it will be painful. Sometimes it will be joyous. You just have to take it in stride.

Hopefully Hillman will make these lazy millionaires remember what they’re here for.

They read their own headlines too much, and started getting complacent.

Or they didn’t have enough confidence in themselves, and are still too timid.

They probably are too young to be consistent.

Or they’re too old and set in their ways, and declining in performance.

They probably need to dramatically overhaul things with a closed door manager meeting and a radical change in the lineup.

Or they need to keep a steady hand, not panic, and see the ship through the storm.

They need to be more aggressive on the basepaths to “get something going” on offense.

Or they need to stop giving away outs.

The pitching needs to stop nibbling and pitch to contact.

Or they need to stop allowing so many hits by finishing hitters at the plate.
