0-6, all 10 people in the crowd are booing. Blow it up, this team is dead.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:20 AM) Here comes the 0/6. This oughta earn him a few more starts next week. He's the first player to ever get benched by his manager for no games.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:18 AM) This is incorrect. The game is on Ozzie...but not because of this inning. Thornton should have had the ninth. He continues to pitch Jenks in tie games in the ninth...its baffling. f*** that, I'm more pissed about the 8th. Buehrle let them tie the game when he had no business still pitching.

Putz has been great? I recall 3 close games he's pitched in, and he's blown 2 of them. The Jose Lopez slam and the Indians extra innings game. I'm sure there's a few I missed though.

Also, how bad is Konerko's neck that he can't PH?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:16 AM) Were you whining for Santos prior to that HR? Um, yes. I've been outspoken that Putz is basically throwing a batting practice fastball right now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2010 -> 04:16 AM) It's getting close enough to memorial day that the clock has to be ticking. Agreed, if we have like one win on the next road trip, this season is OVA! Wait until people start criticizing Ozzie for his son bashing Thome. I'm sure that will go over well with Konerko and company.

At least we get to see Pierre go 0-6!!

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 8, 2010 -> 04:14 AM) God I can't wait til Ozzie is gone. It's gonna be so refreshing! I'm actually getting optimistic that something will happen soon, either it be with him or Walker. Our record and attendance is severely disappointing to Reinsdorf.

If Putz was more of an asshole, he would have got him out.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:13 AM) Nice f***ing pitch, Putz. Yeah, don't bother using Santos Ozzie, not like he can get guys out or anything. Santos only pitches in games we're trailing, you should know that.

Wow, what an awful pitch. Putz is just not right. WHERE THE f*** IS SERGIO SANTOS?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:12 AM) Problem is, you can't throw a splitter without a fastball to keep guys honest. Especially if you can't get ahead in the count with it. I completely agree...he's the anti-Linebrink.

That Putz fastball is meat, he needs to rely on his splitter.

Nice splitter, don't give Wells anything good to hit!

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 8, 2010 -> 04:02 AM) We bash Kotsay, and he has been awful for the most part, but his homers have counted. Solo in a 5-4 win over Minny 3 run hr in 7-6 @ New York Yankees and of course tonight. Agreed

Teahen with an OPS under .400 vs LHP...he's really bad. The anti-Rios, as all of his outs are softly hit. I can't recall any line drive outs he's made all season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2010 -> 02:56 AM) 2008, I'd feel like 75% sure that Q would at least double here. He was so clutch...he opens up so early now and has to swing all arms.

Screw the closer role, pitch Thornton in the most important late inning situations. Anyways, Quentin better end it here cause our lefties aren't touching Downs.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:51 AM) Thornton is just amazing. He really is, even with some struggles, I trust him more than anyone on this roster.

Wow, that was impressive. Lewis with some funny swings tonight.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:47 AM) There was clearly more going on than that. Well, yes and then he was upset he got benched at the end of the year. I was hoping they would be able to work it out and have him return last year, but obviously we got rid of him at the first chance we could.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 8, 2010 -> 02:45 AM) I'm still not convinced about Swish. Anyone who is beloved by almost all of his other teamates and gets on Ozzie's bad side interests me. I don't think he's an asshole at all, in the way that someone like Milton Bradley is. I think he's just wild, and our clubhouse led by Konerko, Thome, and Dye didn't like it.

Wow, this team just finds great ways to kill momentum!

Hit it high and let it fly!
