No, mid game really is not too early to remove a starter. It's the f***ing American League, you don't need a bench full of players for moves later in the game.

Twins up 2-0 in the first already. That team is just destroying RHP

Ozzie Guillen said "I hope his husband is ok"

Sounds like Sox are extremely pissed off at Joe West.

Joe West doing his best to ruin our bullpen this season. I bet we see Pena start tomorrow.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 21, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) How idiotic is the umpire and grounds crew for letting this game actually start just to be delayed 10 minutes later? What the hell was the point of that? It's terrible...absolutely inexcusable

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 21, 2010 -> 01:01 AM) He's only thrown 7 pitches. But he also threw a lot of pitches to warm up prior to the game.

4-0 Twins leading already

2 hour rain delay? You cannot put Jackson back into the game, so it looks like we'll just destroy our bullpen tonight.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:45 AM) Hopefully Putz just tweaked it and came out because it was a big lead and he figured no need to push it. He couldn't push off his right leg, so the lack of velocity is worrisome.

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.
