The White Sox have had similar struggles as the Reds have. Their bullpen is a mess and their offense has lost its impact. So, the FO steps right in and makes these kinds of statements:
ChicagoSports.com: Guillen hints at bullpen shakeupAfter general manager Ken Williams told reporters Sunday morning that the White Sox's performance was "embarrassing" and that he was "irritated" by every facet, the Sox's underachieving offense scored in double digits for the first time since Sept. 24, 2006.
But after left-hander Andrew Sisco threw two wild pitches and David Aardsma gave up four runs after receiving an eight-run lead, manager Ozzie Guillen hinted changes could be made to a bullpen that has yielded 14 runs in the last three games.
"The bullpen, they better look at themselves in the mirror and be careful, because if they don't shake it up, I will shake it up," Guillen said after a 10-6 victory over the Cubs. "We've got people down in the minor leagues that are throwing the ball well. … If our bullpen doesn't work, we're not going to go anywhere."
They are determined to shake things up when needed. They have a fired up manager who will win at all costs. We know that these statements can do a lot to a team on the brink of losing some players due to faulty play. Every player on that roster is likely thinking they are on the bubble and they have to perform.
There is no status quo feeling in that clubhouse nor in the front office. Chicago is being taken by storm because the team as a whole cares about winning.
Do you see what I see? The Reds are on the opposite side of the spectrum. Lets see what team gets better and what team falls apart.
