QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:24 PM) True, Chet, but I log on and have to read about Jenks not being good in tie games before some will give the guy praise. Sox fans take for granted excellent performances, but when we lose or Jenks blows a game ... BAM they will bury him. Praise the guy, people. Praise him!!! And this team is doing so well. Amazing job by Oz and the players or I should say the players and Oz as the players are the producers, but he has done a fine job as well. What's frustrating is you've made no effort to try and comprehend the point we've been trying to make with regards to Jenks being ineffective in certain spots.

I'd put the Bulls chances at 80% for Lebron right now. You don't make the moves they've made to bring in Johnson and someone else. Remember that everyone involved behnd the scenes has been saying that many decisions have been made about who will go where, and that David Stern would be so pissed if he knew what's really gone on.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:40 PM) I am somewhat afraid of the Cubs coming in and beating us. Don't know why, but it's just a feeling. When was the last time this team won 10 games in a row? If they beat us, they beat us. It would suck, but if this team gets swept and allows that to derail them for the rest of the year, then they were never going to win anything anyways.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) No, I just dislike people who seem to have a vast majority of posts hating on every aspect of the team, then when we win act like nothing happened. All the hate Jenks was getting only a couple weeks ago is now just "well, well, all I was saying was he just isn't good in tie games!!!!" when every post was calling him a useless fatass. I see no need for that bulls*** for a guy like Jenks. Well, he sucked at that point. If Randy Williams went on a string of 20 straight scoreless innings, would you complain that people used to bash him? And bulls*** for a guy like Jenks? The same Jenks the Sox were trying to unload on anyone that would take his contract this past offseason, and the same guy they've openly criticized for being too stubborn to throw his curveball?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) The Mendoza line? Awesome!

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:30 PM) I thought a closer gets saves, to you know, CLOSE games? Gotta love that this place still needs to find something to b**** about with Jenks. Do you post about anything besides criticizing the people that do post? From what I recall, you're an excellent baseball person. However, all your posts lately seem to be about the posters on here. No one was b****ing about Jenks in this game, so what you said was incorrect.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:26 PM) Ide rather we just save one of Putz and Thornton for those situations.. But he has a job, and that's to get hitters out. One of greg's frequent "excuses" if he leaves a starter in too long is that there's no reason a starter can't go 7 innings, NO MATTER WHAT. Thus, there's no reason that Jenks can't be an effective pitcher, no matter what the situation is.

Ozzie can keep making all the terrible lineup decisions as long as our pitchers don't give up runs!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:24 PM) There goes the farm system. Haha

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:22 PM) I don't get it.. is making fun of Greg every time Jenks comes out your guys way of avoiding admitting you were wrong about his demise? Until Jenks comes in and shuts down a team in a tied game, I will stay say his a liability in those situations. That was the main argument I've been making all along with him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:22 PM) Dude, there is no need for violence! If it happened, I would make sure greg's obituary was written like this

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:21 PM) I never understood Hawk calling broken bats Matt Abattacolas either until yesterday listening to the score when that douche made a series of "uh" soundbytes to make fun of new Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau. f*** that guy. He's just another douchebag drunken Cubs fan

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) LOL, click my signature to see proof of that. I am going to miss PK next year, one of the all time great White Sox players, a clutch player and Cub killer. What else can you want?? Couldn't agree more

If you want to see how important Quentin's productivity is, look right there at PK getting pitched to with an open base.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) If Paulie gets stiffed on the All Star Game for Texieria, I will be more pissed than I have ever been at an All Star selection. I was thinking today that Strasburg and Moyer should be put on the team and be allowed to pitch in the same inning.

QUOTE (shawnhillegas @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) EPIC FAIL on the scouting report. Who throws Paulie a first pitch fastball? CHAD QUALLS

Just guard the line when we play him.

Oh PK!!! Get that man to the All-Star Game

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) Rios really couldn't have ph there? Ozzie would PH Barry Bonds in his prime for Mark Kotsay

I'll never understand the point of having a speedy leadoff guy if you're just going to bunt him to 2nd base. You could have B. Molina be leadoff if you're going to do that.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) Or how about Attabatacola or whatever the hell he says for a broken bat. It's a Matt Abatacola, named after a Score producer

If we don't score in the 8th, I really hope Thornton is brought in.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 07:58 PM) I'd love for the 7-8-9 to generate a run here for the Sox and someone shove my previous post in my face. Well, that was awful!! Not very surprising though.

Oh hell yeah Gavin!
