QUOTE(AirScott @ May 30, 2007 -> 08:07 PM) Does anybody agree with me, that we make a move for David Weathers of the Reds? He's 37 years old, he had a 2.08 ERA before his latest outing shot it up to 4.30, but his WHIP is 1.08 and he hasn't allowed a homer this season, even as a member of the team whose park has the most home runs in the majors. Like I've said, he's someone who can't be described as shaky. I just don't think the bullpen is that far off. No, I'd rather trade for guys who might actually be with the organization for the next 2-3 years.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 30, 2007 -> 08:02 PM) These players are flat out letting the Manager, the GM and the fans down at this point. Offense dies, the pitching dies, we walk 10 people. WTF I'm sorry, but the GM let the fans down this offseason. We deserved more respect than his whining about contracts and how we won't sign our free agents. He told us they'd get major league value for Garcia, and he didn't. The two good signings we made were either screwed up by Ozzie or not even added to the roster.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 30, 2007 -> 08:00 PM) Yep, Aardsma definitely needs to be on this f***ing team, what a f***ing joke. At least I'll no longer be made fun of by santo for saying that Aardsma would be the biggest disappointment on the roster.

Well, f*** you Ozzie and f*** you KW.

Aardsma's always so good at not overthrowing in these situations...ha!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 30, 2007 -> 07:57 PM) Fathom, get ready for a new addition to the signature. No Jenks here? Oh, right, we're saving him for a save opportunity that's never going to come about. I have no problem with him not starting the inning. However, when it gets to this situation, you need to go with your best, especially with how good Hunter's been against Aardsma.

This is where Jenks should be brought in. Nothing like giving Hunter a 3rd opportunity to beat Aardsma in a big spot.

What happened now?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 30, 2007 -> 07:49 PM) Jenks last game pitched was last friday. You cant shelve him for a week or so and then trot him out and expect everything to be fluffy and sweet. Like how we didn't pitch MacDougal last night in a blow out....it sure would be nice to try and get his confidence up in non-pressure outings before throwing him out into a tie game.

Way to walk the least powerful hitter in the history of baseball.

If Ozzie only has two relievers he can count on, like everyone's worried about in here, then this game doesn't really matter anyways. For once, I'll stand up for Ozzie and say he's doing the right thing.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ May 30, 2007 -> 07:44 PM) When Sox lose somebody should be fired before they land in Toronto no excuses! fixed for accuracy

Ozzie's doing what every other manager would. On the road, you save your closer in case you get the lead.

What a fantastic 0-5 for Erstad. I'll tell you what, he isn't a good hitter, but he's one of the best players you'll ever see. What happened? Someone rob Iguchi of a homer?

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ May 30, 2007 -> 07:33 PM) No hits for 5 innings. Amazing what a bullpen can do, just ask John Danks. This reminds me of the J. Jones walk-off homer game against Koch about 4 years ago. We got a big lead early off of Cy Mays, and then they brought in Rincon I believe, and chipped away and eventually won.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ May 30, 2007 -> 07:32 PM) Dont forget Frank Thomas and Jaques Jones on the bad arm list Shockingly, Jones has made some great throws this year. He's also had some horrible throws as well. I meant from a pure velocity point with Cintron, Iguchi, and Hall.

A lefty bunting against Neshek? That's a smart move....not!

Did Hunter make a nice catch on that? And Ozzie needs to get Hall out of the game now.

Good job by Ozzie not letting Garland start the 7th inning. And yes, Cintron shouldn't be out there. He's still injured, and is a major liability. With Cintron, Iguchi, and Hall playing together today, we might have 3 of the worst arms in baseball (along with Damon and Pierre).

QUOTE(juddling @ May 30, 2007 -> 07:24 PM) Cheap??? yeah...but boy do they throw hard!!!!! Do they? I'm still waiting to see a fastball from Aardsma, Sisco, or Masset over 94 mph.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ May 30, 2007 -> 07:24 PM) its almost getting to the point, where we need to revamp the whole team. Good thing we're in a position where that can happen after this season....and I'm not being sarcastic.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ May 30, 2007 -> 07:22 PM) The Sox revamped bullpen is worse than last year. I think the offseason can officially be declared a failure. I think it's been declared that for a while. As Dick Allen likes to state on here, this is what you get when you go cheap.

Please don't trade any of our young guys. As much as they're not ready, it's foolish to think this team has the ability to make a major run in this division.

No way in hell I'd let Garland start this inning. He's already over 100 pitches, and we know how well that went last game.

If the Sox go on to lose this game, it will be the 9th game they've lost when leading in the 6th inning or later. That's f***ing pathetic.
