fathom

The cornerstones of the Sox with a much-needed dominating performance.

With any type of knee injury, it doesn't seem like we'll see Putz for a while. I guess Linebrink is the 2nd righty set-up man now after Santos?

Hawk, who in the hell is Johnny Castino?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 03:35 AM) Yeah Kotsay def cost us that game since guys like PK and Rios certainly didn't kill us in RISP situations. And with the depth of our bullpen, I can't believe he left the only guy we have left who A. can get people out and B. wasn't playing college ball 4 weeks ago in there. What an idiot So you had no problem with Kotsay facing a LHP with bases loaded in the 5th?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 03:34 AM) JP has been incredible this series. He's going to end up hitting .300

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 03:33 AM) Why is Jenks warming up? I thought he was hurt. Put in Linebrink or Sale. Why in the hell would you pitch Sale again tonight? He pitched last night, and we're trying to limit his innings. Jenks needs work, as if you recall last time he returned from an extended break, he was very rusty.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 03:30 AM) All of you moaning about Ozzie causing Putz to be injured need to check yourselves. Putz is a pitcher - his job is to pitch. Blaming Ozzie for him getting hurt is like blaming a warehouse manager for an injury to a stock clerk because the manager asked him to do his job. That makes a ton of sence - right guys? Duh. If he was already hurt and Ozzie didn't pay any mind to that - it's a different story. Quit blaming the manager for everything that happens. It's the same s*** as the last two games. We lost the first two because of Danks and Floyd. Putz got hurt because of Ozzie asking him to do his job??? Give me a f***ing break. I poop on little people. I'm sorry, but in the first game, there were two terrible managerial decisions made. Letting Kotsay hit vs a LHP in the 5th, and keeping Thornton in for a 3rd inning.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 03:29 AM) Its becoming a f***ing joke to be honest. Its to the point where if he sneezes people will question it. So if he pulls Putz, theres no way he gets injured the rest of the season? He'll be perfectly fine next time he throws right? I'm pretty sure thats how injuries work if i remember. After the 2nd pitch of the inning, Putz walked around for like 30 seconds. He should have been pulled right then. I don't blame Ozzie for getting him an inning though.

Right knee injury

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 03:23 AM) That would be devastating if he were out for more than a couple days. Looked like a strained calf muscle

Great...absolutely no reason for him to be pitching tonight after the 2nd pitch, and an injury happens.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:21 AM) Putz looks fine...except he isn't throwing strikes... Wrong

Putz doesn't look right, as his fastball has been at 91 mph to this batter. Hope he doesn't hurt his arm due to aiming the ball.

Putz looked like he injured his leg on the 2nd pitch he threw this inning.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 03:17 AM) Putz? Ozzie you p*ssy. Nothing doing guys. Haha...barely knicked him. That sure sent a message.

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:15 AM) We should just do it. Is that your pick-up line?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:15 AM) Damn. Putz coming in. I don't want him to get suspended. Delmon won't bat until the 9th

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:12 AM) Paulie a triple short of the cycle. Where would he have to hit the ball to leg out a triple? To whatever position Quentin is playing in the outfield.

Goodness!!

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:03 AM) f*** it... bring in Bobby to throw some 92mph heat at him. fixed

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:04 AM) Pretty s***ty run production with only 7 on 17 hits. Thank goodness Mark has been solid otherwise this would have been another painful loss. Sorry, I'm having a hard time complaining about our offense tonight. Outside of Kotsay, everyone has contributed. Really good approach by almost all of our hitters, as there were a lot of opposite field hits.

Beckham swinging and missing a lot the last few games.

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) I am all for this also...although I like Ozzie his antics are growing lame. Although I would like to see Cora get a shot, if you look into the dugout on big hits he is always very excited. No thanks to Joey Cora

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 01:52 AM) as much as you and i both want it to happen we all know Ozzie will keep him till the end of his tenure unfortunately....

Wow, just wow! Trade for Hawpe tonight and release Kotsay please.
