Most disappointing home stand in a very long time. Keep your head up boys, got 3 huge games coming up. Gonna have to beat the Twins anyways if we want to make the postseason.

Too bad Nick Swisher wasn't batting here.

If the leadoff man gets on, will Ozzie bunt? And I'd love to see a video of what Cooper's reaction was to this mess in the clubhouse.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:28 PM) You know that Kenny Williams is doing some crazy upper body super set workout right now to release the stress from this s***fest. Ha, completely agree bomb. Guarantee there's a bunch of "I told you so" going around about Garcia.

If things go from bad to worse over the next 10 days, I wonder if we'll put Putz on waivers?

Pena's ERA going to be over 5.50 after this inning. Can't wait until he's out of this organization, and we get an actual long man.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:23 PM) Yes. Get over it. Hey Chris, don't you have a postgame show to prepare for?

Thankfully there's an off day tomorrow so our bullpen can rest.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:21 PM) Actualt Tony P has had some pretty solid games for us this year Yes, in long relief. He's been BRUTAL in short relief. He's well on his way to having an ERA over 9 since the ASB.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:19 PM) so that's the reason? IF pierre gets a hit? Awesome. What about IF Alexei doesn't swing at a ball in the dirt? What about IF PK hits a gapper? So stupid If Konerko hits a gapper, then Beckham scores from first. Giving up the first out is just so idotic when Perry was clearly rattled. I wish more teams would give up outs to the Sox.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) is there someone that isnt falling apart in our pen? jeeze lol Thornton, Sale, Santos

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) If Pierre were to single, that pushes Beckham to 3b and either a ground ball to the right or a fly ball might score him. Pierre probably has a 50/50 shot of hitting a ground ball to the right side even if he were to swing away. All I know is we've bunted a lot with a runner on first and no outs this year, and very rarely has it worked out well.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) Again, how is this ozzie's fault that 2 of the players (and 2 top hitters) failed? I don't understand the logic, its baffling. Was Pierre going yard? We gave up the first out to a pitcher that was struggling mightily. We keep playing for one run when our pitching staff is falling apart. Tony Pena needs to not be put into close games, as he's fallen apart as well.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 10:12 PM) Do you really have that much confidence in Juan Pierre? I have more confidence in Pierre to get a hit right now than anyone on this team.

Ugh, OZZIEBALL! Konerko got a massive hanger, and couldn't do anything with it. Pena's in to blow this game open.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:08 PM) No its that you can't just pitch Thornton every f***ing inning of every game. Hell, he's been shaky lately anyway. You put wayyyy too much on Ozzie rather than players playing like s***. He's allowed one earned run in almost two months.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:07 PM) but wouldnt it had been a double instead of a triple if its played right? Jackson still scores standing up

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:07 PM) So Fathom, are you pro or against the sacrifice bunt by Pierre we're about to get? 100% against it

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:07 PM) B ut the bok on A Jones was he couldn't catch up tp the heat anymore but that was at 97=98 MPH and he smashed it to CF. Way to go Jones Low fastball

DO NOT BUNT!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) This is where the Jenks implosion kills us. Really, this is the biggest story of the 2nd half

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) Yep, Ozzie apparently can never make a correct move and Thornton should be pitching the 7-9 every game. A couple weeks ago it would have been "f***in Ozzie, Putz should be INNNN!!!!!" Yeah, how dare I want one of the best lefty relievers in baseball to face a lefty hitter!

Well, he gets one of those back!

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) I know I said earlier in this thread that I don't think Putz should pitch back to back games anymore. After further evaluation, I think we should shut him down until the end of the regular season. If he doesn't get the necessary rest to get his arm strength back, he's no good to us in the playoffs. His arm strength is fine...his command of his splitter is killing us.

Putz with an impressive (assuming we lose) 3 losses in a week
