Good job OC!!

Crap, what a great play by Kinsler. Watch the Sox fail to get the run home again.

Very nice Toby!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 09:44 PM) Burnett is just plain icky. 4.89 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, has missed about 18 starts due to injury over the past 2 seasons and can opt for free agency at the end of the season. Yep, and sadly, he's far and away the best name out there. I still can't get over how the Cubs were the only team to go after Harden.

Damn, nice try by PK. Dye, Swisher, and Crede have been so non-clutch this week.

How many times can Jermaine fail to deliver in that same situation this week?

In Jose's last 32.2 innings, he's allowed 76 base runners.

Chad Gaudin would have been a hell of an improvement over Contreras

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 09:26 PM) Maybe Jose is still Pouty McPouterson since his pal Ozuna is gone, afterall, we must look out for Mr. Glass' feelings, and not release his good friends. 4.64 ERA and rising for Contreras.

More Brian Anderson against LHP, and less Nick Swisher.

I like that Ozzie is still keeping Contreras in this game.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 09:22 PM) One of the worst pitchers in baseball once his two months of early season pitching is over. Luckily we find it necessary to let him stay out there and work through it, afterall....gotta get that chance at a W for Jose!! Who kows, maybe his girlfriend broke up with him. Nick Swisher is just a joke of a player. Talk about having a terrible series.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 08:22 PM) So, I'd like us to target a SP, but who? A.J. Burnett

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 08:21 PM) He can't get anyone out anymore, this is crazy.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 09:21 PM) Thanks for that QUICK reaction concerning Jose Contreras, Ozzie... Ozzie's handling of Contreras has been just pathetic the last two seasons.

Thanks for nothing Contreras and Ozzie.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 08:17 PM) Even the outs are hit hard. Where is the urgency Ozzie and is there anyone warming up? Ozzie will wait until it gets really bad. Like, 3 run deficit bad.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 08:14 PM) If the Twins are going to hang around, we can't truck Jose out there every 5th day, can we? Nope, it's to the point where he gives up as many base runners as he does out retired.

Contreras fastball is all the way down to 87 mph when throwing over the top. Something is definitely not right with him. Sadly, Ozzie would rather please the veteran than try to win this game.

GET HIM OUT OF THE f***ING GAME!

Uribe gets a hanger, and can't do anything with it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 08:06 PM) Once a highly touted prospect. That was a real nice tight curve. Hall got blown away by a 90MPH fastball down broadway for strike one though. I saw Nippert a few years ago, and he was throwing 97 mph.

Anyone else concerned that we've shut down Linebrink for the last 5 days or so?

Stay hot Thome! This Harrison pitcher is awful.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 07:53 PM) So, if we were to grab a starter out of AAA (say Jose gets DL'd), who do you choose? I'll leave Ohka out. Richard 6-0, 2.67 ERA, 38 IP, 25 H, 4 BB, 29 K, 0.76 WHIP Whisler 10-5, 3.46 ERA, 101 IP, 108 H, 31 BB, 49 K, 1.37 WHIP Haeger 8-7, 4.02 ERA, 123 IP, 110 H, 55 BB, 80 K, 1.34 WHIP Broadway 8-5, 4.21 ERA, 117 IP, 135 H, 30 BB, 74 K, 1.40 WHIP Egbert 3-6, 4.67 ERA, 79 IP, 74 H, 25 BB, 74 K, 1.25 WHIP Because I assume no one wants Masset. Richard...Broadway has been an absolute disaster this season since the first month. We're going to have to acquire another starting pitcher if the organization gets the balls to demote Contreras.
