QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:44 AM) Guys they are not throwing Santos on back to back nights. They are obviously concerned about keeping him healthy because he has exactly one season under his belt as a pitcher, and it sounds like he has a pretty significant sore arm period of adjustment last year. Which is why it's really frustrating that they keep pitching him in games we're losing.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:32 AM) Last May I watched the Sox get drilled and humiliated on back to back home Fridays and realized this team was not any good and never really watched them with any excitement the rest of the year. It took me three games this year to realize there were no changes made to this team I would give KW so much credit if he just got power hitters at all 9 positions, and then tried to outslug everyone. No more slap hitters, no more bunting.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 8, 2010 -> 04:30 AM) They're the equivalent of an arena football or WNBA franchise right now. HOW DARE YOU TALK BADLY ABOUT THE CHICAGO SKY!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2010 -> 04:28 AM) Will be embarassing to have an attendance of less than 20,000 for a Friday home game in May...yeah, yeah, it's the cold weather, that's it. Well, most fans probably just stayed home to watch the Blackhawks. Truth be told, the White Sox have no buzz in Chicago right now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:27 AM) It's weird to see a home run to left in the Cell and so few fans in the stands. Reminds me of my youth when nobody went to Old Comiskey. The Cell is gonna be a tomb this summer. Greg, can you please state why Ozzie should still be managing? What does he bring to this organization?

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.
