Bullpen "closed" according to Ed Farmer.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) I want Marte for the 9th. I think Ozzie will give Jon a chance to close it out with a 4 run lead.

Nice grab by that useless piece of crap Timo Perez!!!

oh and Jamie Moyer and Jon Lieber are 4-0. It's the year of the ex-Cubs pitchers!

How's Matt Karchner doing about now?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) I was cautiously optimistic about Jon this year. 'course I felt that way last year too... and the year before... and... You, me, and a whole lot of others...

Radio guys haven't even mentioned a Crede injury.

CHUPA! CHUPA! CHUPA!

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) It's 4-0 T7th. It's not talent. It's luck. :rolly Garland's on his way to his 17th quality start over his last 23. Maybe I should start keep tracking of his dominant starts DP - 1 (J Uribe-T Iguchi-P Konerko). Uribe's arm bought Garland an out in the 6th. Widger (vs OAK .333A .429O .417S) just hit a 2R HR (scoring Rowand) in the T7th. Crede, Ozuna just scored on a double by Carl Everett. I'm going to start thinking of Ozzie as King Midas! Every move he makes turns to Gold. How can you be so supportive of a manager who's team is working on being 16-4?

I've been continually disappointed by how Maggs has handled this situation. Time and time again Kenny and Ozzie have gone out of their way to compliment him and his performance as a White Sox player. Yet, Maggs continues to want to fight about whatever went on with his injury last year. I wish Ozzie would take the high road but its hard to argue with the success of the team so far this year. Ozzie has put himself out on a limb though and they better keep playing well or that limb will be cut off by Jerry Reinsdorf.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) Cubs-Cards, best rivalry in baseball. Plus our game is a blowout

White Sox winner!!! (Why are people watching the Cubs?)

Cotts is looking good tonight.

Cotts comes in 7.36 ERA. It must be Mike Jackson's fault.

Hell, the story should be that we are 10-4 in first place and 4-1 in five games against the Twinkies.

The story should be El Duque. Who cares about Shingo? We have plenty of quality relievers to step in and take his place while he finds the strike zone.

Thank freakin' God!!!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 07:43 PM) Its not his fastball, it never was fast. He isnt throwing breaking balls for strikes like he did last year. Now all they do is wait for the fastball. Exactly.

Steff, I respect your opinion which I generally agree with but on Ozzie I'm in complete disagreement. Ozzie is obviously not your typical baseball coach but it seems clear to me that his players like him and play hard for him. And, I enjoy his (pardon the pun) frankness.

My point exactly, JimH.

Ozzie f***ed up... But, let's not blow this out of proportion. Ozzie is Ozzie and Frank knows that as well as anyone. And, all Ozzie was doing was saying that the attitude on this team has sucked for 20 years and Frank has been a big part of the team for those 20 years, in fact, Ozzie admitted that he too was part of that. I don't expect Frank to respond to this crap. I do expect Ozzie to say nice things about Frank over the next couple days though.

Is the game on TV or something? Mlb.com doesn't have audio for this.

Freakin' Hallelujah! Amen!!!

There's no way to spin this. This is bad f'n news. Buerhle is the man on our staff. s***!
