Chicago White Sox general manager Ken Williams is not impressed.
He echoed his and manager Ozzie Guillen's displeasure with the efforts of the team on Wednesday, calling the players "underachievers" and accusing them of not "playing up to their capabilities" after being swept by the Minnesota Twins in what used to be a heated pennant race.
Williams made a handful of genius observations, including the one where the Sox should clean up their defense after making 108 errors this season. Really? He also suggested that their offense needs some improvement after being shut out 13 times. Very insightful.
So far, Guillen and the entire coaching staff are welcome back for the 2010 season.
"You give 100% effort to close this season with dignity and the best fashion you can and so far we haven’t done that," Williams barked. "I know who’s quit and who hasn’t."Yikes.
Anyway, here's a quote from catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who will probably get beaned in Chicago's weekend series against the Detroit Tigers, if not for this quote, for his stupid hair.
"Just frustrating because [the Tigers] are trying to let us back in it and they're trying basically to whoever wants it, us or Minnesota, Detroit is trying to give it away. They keep losing games and they're keeping us in it by not winning. That's what's so frustrating. Because it seems like it's there but we can't do anything about it."Plunk!
