Yep, Linebrink's in the game. Just a terrible decision by Ozzie, no matter what happens.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 8, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) Who was the pitcher they called "El Guapo". I think he pitched for the Pirates then the Red Sox. That guy made David Wells look skinny Rich Garces

Keep Thome in...at this point, you'd rather have him in the lineup to face Nathan in case the Twins win. Also, you'd lose the ability to put Anderson in defensively.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 8, 2008 -> 09:22 PM) He HAS to run here, and quick. Way to produce that run.

Only Linebrink up in the pen.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) I'd rather we let Quentin bat with someone on base. Ramirez can score on a double, and with Mauer's arm, I'd rather not give up the out. But I'll take that. He got a great jump.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2008 -> 09:21 PM) Ok, death is not an option. Your leadoff hitter...Timo Perez or Alexei Ramirez? Timo in a heartbeat, and no one hates OMIT more than I do.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 8, 2008 -> 08:19 PM) Why is Linebrink up (according to Stoney). If they bring him in for Mauer and Morneau, that'd be dumb as can be. Ozzie did the same thing during the home opener, and Linebrink was a deep fly ball by Kubel away from blowing a 4 run lead.

That's the Toby pop up down the line he has down to a science.

I have a bad feeling Ozzie is going to have Linebrink face Mauer and Morneau.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 8, 2008 -> 08:14 PM) Well I asked for a sandwich from someone a few pages ago and I still haven't gotten it. So...that's why. I've enjoyed your posts today.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ May 8, 2008 -> 08:15 PM) 2 ks and a popout = stupid. See balta's post about injury concerns.

Great job by Dotel. Getting a run in the bottom of the 7th would go a far way to negate the 6th.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 8, 2008 -> 09:11 PM) Dotel really cranking up that K/9 today. I saw a stat last night that he's in the top 5 in active K/IP.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) That is the definition of stupid. Especially after pitching last night.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ May 8, 2008 -> 08:09 PM) Konerko's groundout to third base with men on 2 and 3rd -- on a pitch outside -- tells me everything I need to know about his approach right now. It's just befuddling how this guy wouldn't take that pitch the other way, particularly if he was just protecting the plate. Well said

And Crede pops it up on the first pitch again. Crede, PK, and Swisher are just worthless right now.

Terrible at bat by a horrible player. If we don't score here, we deserve to lose.

Swisher's making getting a hit seem very difficult.

Crap, PK chase two straight pitches way out of the zone.

Not sure why Gardenhire is mad at the umps. Mauer should have thrown to third if he thought he actually swung.

That could have been real ugly. Get them in PK.

Maybe it's me, but I have a hard time complaining about Doug Eddings.

Good job Thome!
