QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:53 PM) That's not what I meant. I'm saying closers usually do not pitch in a tie game in the 9th inning on the road. They're usually saved for later if the manager either runs out of good pitching options or if there is an actual save situation to be had. It was either Linebrink, Pena, or Jenks. No good choices, but Jenks was the best of the 3.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:47 PM) The A's don't score two of these runs if "your" guy could take a proper route to a flyball. LOL. I'm sorry but that is just hilarious.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:46 PM) God I hope we don't bring him back next year. He does one thing decently well (get on base), and I highly doubt he hits .298 next year. Yah, he doesn't drive runs in or anything. He gets on base, he drives runs in, and hits for avg. Without him this year we'd be 7 or8 games out. And the fact that I even have to write this is so ridiculous it's crayz.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:44 PM) The fact that his pickup might spell the end of Pods next year has nothing to do with your endless spite and hate for the man. Worry more about your guy wearing his glove on his head more than money that you are not responsible for, for a good player that fills a long term need. "My" guy was the only f***ing reason we scored 2 runs today. Though I guess losing 1-0 would be better than losing 3-2 and having a chance to win in your mind.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:42 PM) Ozzie managed against the book and it hurt him. Don't use your closer in non-save situations on the road. Who else do you want pitching? Pena, Linebrink? We can't pitch Thornton every f***ing day.

We can't f***ing pitch Thornton in every f***ing game. Somebody else has to step up. I'm glad we wasted all that money on Rios so we have nobody reliable in the bullpen next year.

We don't deserve to win the division.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:34 PM) Please, no more Pods next year. I'm all for giving Figgins his money now. Are you kidding?!?! He's the reason we aren't being f***ing shutout right now.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:33 PM) God, awful swing. Nothing like taking your fielding to the plate. LOL. He's pretty much directly responsible for both of our runs, along with Kotsay's double.

They take advantage, we don't.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:30 PM) The Sox have a favorable matchup with Pods and then Beckham. No steals for me. The guys has a .137 BAA against. Getting 3 hits in a row is asking a lot.

hahaha. They are trying to cheat for us.

WTF is Nix waiting for?

Don't wait!

Steal Nix. I won't be mad at you if you get thrown out.

Steal.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:24 PM) Honestly we'd probably be like 5.5 games back if Podsednik hadn't come in here this year and performed a minor miracle. LOL. We'd be a s***ton more back than that.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:24 PM) Jphat, you are currently just a shadow of your former self... for a long time i thought you were some happy-go-lucky robot that thought the sox could do absolutely no wrong. I'm the biggest homer ever. Which should really let you know how I feel about Rios and Nix.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:21 PM) I couldn't agree more, but Ozzie's affection for having a speedy leadoff hitter is going to get Pods a contract extension. So we can have Wise leadoff again?

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:20 PM) jphat finds a way to blame everything on nix and rios. So what does that tell you? They aren't exactly contributing.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:18 PM) Oh, now you're a f***ing caricature of yourself. Are you kidding? He f***s up with a guy on 3rd and less than 2 outs, and doesnt keep the tag on the guy allowing him to stay safe at second? What the f*** does he do right other than occasionally hit a HR or walk? He f***ing sucks.

What an awful pitch. f*** you Nix 2 times over.

Such a huge AB right here. Cmon Dotel.

Cmon Octavio

Kepp the f***ing tag on him Nix.
