QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:26 AM) There are plenty of really talented pitchers who bust for reasons other than injury too. I doubt it'll happen with him, but there's a chance. yes, but there stuff looks like Mark Buehrle's compared to him. I wasn't even a believer heading into tonight.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:26 AM) I realize you're joking. But ain't nothing more annoying to me than a .500 (or a few games above or under) season. I remember in 2002 we were 12-15 games below .500 all year before a dumbass hot final month (led by Joe Crede) saw us finish the season at 81-81. I remember Hawk saying something like "You know, with the way the team has played this final month, this season to me has been saved." I wanted to jump through the TV and decapitate his ass when he said that stupid ass s***. Agreed, and you know I would have been on here telling certain posters that those wins were worthless

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 03:25 AM) What is the statute of limitations for the statement "Relax....this is a good team......it's a long season"? No one says that anymore besides for Hawk and sin city sox fan.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 03:24 AM) omg you dont understand how annoying it was having to listen to the nationals announcers basically already throwing strasburg into the hall of fame today.....his stuff was pretty nasty today i just hope they have plenty of beer on tap when i go to D.C. to see him pitch against the sox If he doesn't get seriously injured, he will make the HOF. Most talented pitcher of our generation.

Shades of that Indians game where Danks pitched and it went from a Sox lead to a Sox blowout in 10 minutes. What a bunch of weak motherf***ers.

haha...hopefully Ozzie will be joining his son in Florida soon.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:21 AM) If you'e going to be bad, be REALLY bad. Being really bad is why the Nationals are the envy of baseball right now. Oh shut up, it's important to win so that the 5,000k in attendance in August are happy! They could lose every game the rest of the way, and it would be the best thing that could happen.

Wow, Thornton absolutely sucks right now. I'd say blow it up, but we know we are anyways. Positive of tonight is Gavin was good. Negative is that Quentin and Beckham continue to suck.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 03:18 AM) Outside of Bobby Jenks.....nobody in this bullpen is currently giving us a strong chance to win. Yeah, Putz is getting rocked right now. The length to which Jenks apologists will go is pathetic.

Colvin continues to be far and away the best young player in Chicago.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 03:15 AM) Has anyone been watching the radar gun? What's thornton been throwing? 94-96 mph

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:15 AM) Jesus Christ Gordon First time Gordon reached the outfield all game.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:14 AM) I blame it on the fact that Hewitt is an awful coach ME TOO!

Wow wow...comically bad. Thornton's going to have to start throwing an offspeed pitch to keep hitters honest. The Bust Brothers combine for that defensive blunder.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:12 AM) I never said it was. I think Richard's a good pitcher. I thought that while y'all were ripping him last year before he got in that groove that raised his trade value. I was a fan of his also, and I also said at the time Richard would be a better pitcher than Buehrle over the next 3 seasons. Hopefully Buerhle can prove me wrong.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:10 AM) Really, the idea that Peavy can't pitch in the AL still isn't right. You don't win the pitching triple crown on a weak team because of ballpark factor. But why does that park not factor into his success among people on here, but Richard's success is all cause of the park?

Fun fact: to this day, Ga Tech/Paul Hewitt apologists blame Austin Jackson for the downfall of the basketball program.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) Location, location, location. Richard's pitching in the most extreme pitcher friendly park in a vastly inferior league. Swisher's in a lineup that sports multiple HOFs, all-stars and MVP candidates. Oh believe me, I understand the league differential/location factor...I just wish KW did.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) Glad they took Gavin out. He was wearing down. Not sure Thornton isn't wearing down. For real, I'm proud of Ozzie. Also keeps him in a positive frame of mind.

Tony Pena and Matt Thornton need some PFP

Wow, ominous start to this inning.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:03 AM) Happy for Clayton, F Swisher. I'm willing to bet he ends the season around .250 Agreed, happy for Clayton also. He's going to be a very good pitcher in the majors and he's going to make himself a lot of money.

Clayton Richard and Nick Swisher's numbers this year make me vomit.

Why can Milwaukee not hit the Cubs in Milwaukee this season?

Sweet, keeps us in the lead!
