Whitewashed in '05

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2008 -> 09:12 PM) Hawk really might be the dumbest talent evaluator around. Comon fathom, Crede>Arod, No?

This bullpen blows... how many times can I say this? Better hope tribe can pull another one out, but the Twins have the momentum...

Game over with the guys they're bringing in...

Gavin my goodness! I tip my hat to the staff for believing in Gavin, because I didn't when they traded Garland. What a performance!! :headbang As important as he has been on our staff Danks can't be left unmentioned. He should have a good 15+ wins as well. If our bullpen could just hold a lead...

Yeah, as talented as Rocco he isn't a good option. If you guys missed the article about his condition then read it and you'll see. Link

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 15, 2008 -> 09:15 PM) That's a pretty weak comparision. We didn't have nearly as many injuries at this time in 2005, and our bullpen was about 100 times better. ^^^ In 05 I never gave up hope. Not that I have given up on this team, but I have accepted the fact if we don't make the playoffs we don't deserve it.

This bullpen is just terrible. My initial reaction to ozzie bringing in these guys is screaming at him then I remember we have no one else... We have a potent offense and a good starting staff, but our bullpen just blows. We kept our heads afloat without Linebrink, but its catching up now. BTW, Horacio better not be on this team in ST. The only outs I've seen him record were vs us... ugh which pisses me off more. Lets trade Jenks!!!!

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 10:26 PM) I got sliced and diced for having this position earlier in the week. Point blank though: he has the best K arm in the pen. He isnt considerably worse vs. righties. If we can get LHP for the pen (Poreda)... then do you consider him for closing games? Have to come to grips w/ the fact that Jenks isnt a strikeout pitcher anymore, and that we will have to start paying him more and more now. His ERA and saves dependability will give him serious value elsewhere. Trading Jenks is a shot at retooling...get players that can get OBP up which is our weak area. Bullpen needs work, but you guys know how it is. We didnt expect a lockdown bullpen in 05... you just try to get a right mix of arms and hope for the best. We'll do the same this offseason with or without Jenks. So trade Jenks and make "1 pitch pitcher" Thornton the closer? For the past couple of games Jenks has given up runs he hadn't pitched in 4 days. How does this improve our bullpen? Also, isn't Contreras going to start baseball activities mid next year? If that's the case, he won't be ready until about August at the earliest.

While I am glad they won I just can't believe the bullpen. One of the biggest hits of the season by DWEEZY!!

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1828848 HAHA, I saw this and noticed this was a Charlotte game. Looks like Sisco pitching and Armstrong at C.

If he isn't happy with what's going on he won't accept the radio gig. If he doesn't mind then he probably will. I'm gonna miss DJ if he leaves. I enjoy his insight even though his homerun call is really bad.

Pretty boy Floyd going for another big win for us tonight. Go get em Gavin!

The show looks good enough to keep entertained. I didn't really see anything special in it though. It's like they try to make the show believable, but a lot of it isn't. Anyways, JJ Abrams is the television version of M Night Shyamalan.

Lol, I thought this team would lose first place before people started screaming to trade one of the best closers we've had in a while and one of our better hitters this year.

Wow if Bobby would've blown that one that would have really hurt this team. Wow... Anyways, we finally get one from Toronto, Halladay out of all of them... Go get a W tomorrow guys.

Like others have mentioned, anytime we get a loss people panic around here. How much bad luck can this team have? We have lost some very important pieces to our team this year in Crede, Contreras, Quentin, and now Konerko. I mean... things can always get worse, but damn... They have been doing good this year and always seem to get up when knocked down. They just need to concentrate on tomorrow. We still have a 1 game lead. I can't believe it though, we lose Thomas and Maggs in 03 and this year we lose half our lineup... I guess this is why KW got JR, but unfortunately he just isn't good anymore.

He was so dominant the first year we got him, just downright filthy, you knew he'd get the job done in a tough spot in a game. If only he could help provide that bridge because Liney is not good right now.

Well as of right now it looks good he traded him, but he's pitched what 28 innings?

This is a little surprising. I've read stuff from former knuckleballers he's ahead of the curve when it comes to mastering the knuckler. Good luck to him.

Their bullpen is not that great. Their SP will keep them in all of their games though. Especially what looks like a W everytime Liriano pitches. 1 game up!

Don't know where to put this since there's no gamethread for tomorrow yet, but... NO WEAVER TOMORROW!!! He got paper cuts in Comerica hahaha! Thanks Kitties! Link

LOL, this is a pretty funny story. Especially the part when the person after you walks in and you hear them choke.

I think we can do decent enough to keep it close before the Twins series which will reveal a winner. I doubt this thing goes down to the last day of the season though. As far as whose gonna win it? I predicted the twinkies starting staff was gonna wet the bed. That isn't happening. Our pitching has been pretty bad. I'm getting the feeling we won't make it, but they have the talent to turn it around... so we'll see. One thing you won't see me do is start screaming the sky is falling. This place is gonna erupt if we lose.

So he won't see action until possibly Wednesday and then not again until maybe Friday since they aren't making him go back to back days. Throw in the fact that he had no control... I don't see how Ozzie can talk about him being the savior. I hope he's ready soon and hopefully no later than the Yanks series...
