My biggest pet peeve with the use of our bullpen this season has been we pitch our worst reliever (by far) more than anyone else. We're really babying Santos, it seems.

You can't keep pitching a lefty specialist that walks so many guys. It is just an unproductive result far too often.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Well here is the lefty lefty thing... Please try not to walk him : I really like how the Yanks went out and got the perfect hitter for a LHP platoon with Thames. Always thought he had a lot of power.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) That's be nice. Your grammar sucks

Linebrink out for another inning? Makes me wonder if Putz or Pena aren't feeling well, or if Ozzie just wants to go after ARod and then bring in Williams.

Don't tell jphat that Damon just hit a walk off for the Tigers.

Can we just talk more about baseball and the White Sox than the posting habits of people? I'll gladly clean up my posts and keep them constructive instead of just flat out b****ing. There's good posters on here that have become nothing but reactionary to that of other people.

Wow, very clutch AJP!! Silly me, I thought Kotsay was up there. Linebrink deserves this win.

This better be Nix hitting here.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 1, 2010 -> 07:58 PM) Still plenty of time to get some runs. Yep, 4 outs. Teahen really makes hitting seem difficult. He has no ability to turn on the pitch.

Swisher must have gotten distracted as he got closer to the line there.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) Of course the Cubs are winning, too. What else could go wrong...will go wrong. An injury is probably next, lol. And the injury would be to someone that we actually enjoy watching. Now that would be really bad.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:52 PM) Lets just try and clear some cap space, and make a run at LeBron this summer. This and the Vizquel post have really made me laugh today.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) that is something I will never understand, and it isn't just BS. I'll be honest, at this point, I'm watching for individual players like Beckham, Quentin, Jones, Konerko, Rios, Peavy, Danks, Floyd, Santos, and Thornton. I don't get nearly as upset when we lose as I did in previous seasons when I actually thought the team could contend. I also want to see our manager show some improved decision making, as I feel like he has more of a negative impact on this team than a positive.

QUOTE (Real @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:49 PM) and Kenny's hands are tied, because it's still "early", even though it's pretty obvious we have too many meatball hitters in our lineup, and too many vaginas in our bullpen to compete Unless KW is willing to trade off some veterans, I don't want him making moves. He's lost a lot of trust with his awful decisions the past 2 years. It's to the point I blame him more than Ozzie for this horrible roster. It's ironic that Swisher hit that bomb, because he symbolizes the destruction of our talent more than anyone.

Can't Linebrink just go and get his shoulder surgery now? Probably should have had it 2 years ago.

Haha, no surprise there. Can't keep throwing 92 mph fastballs down the plate. Brilliant managing and brilliant roster construction.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 1, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) I disagree. I think Ozzie has already lost this team. This one game won't make much difference either way. I'm with you here.

Wow, that was close. Teahen is f***ing awful at 3rd base. I've never seen someone look so uncomfortable. What in the f*** was KW and Buddy Bell thinking?

Keep missing your spots Linebrink!

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 1, 2010 -> 07:41 PM) We all would have ripped him if he put Williams in...I'd rather see Linebrink than Williams at this point. There may not be a right option. Against Granderson, you put in a lefty whenever you can. Even in high school, he couldn't hit lefties!!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2010 -> 07:41 PM) I don't care about match-ups anymore, if I'm Guillen, I go to Santos or Pena over Williams. Probably not Putz, his stuff is too much like Linebrink's...about 85-90% of the pitcher he was b4 the injury. At least Putz has a splitter. Linebrink has no confidence in anything but his average fastball with NO movement.

Would it really have been so hard to try and get an inning from Pena, Santos, Putz, and Jenks?

Just some brilliant managing here. Of course, let Granderson and Gardner face the RHP with weak stuff.
