Hypothesis: Bobby bad in non-save situations because he has fed off of guys overswinging (while they're team's down) for years Is this thing already proven? Not to say closing is easy, but Jenks sure seems to benefit from nervous hitters year after year.

Hear that Balta, Tim Mccarver agrees with me that the Sox bullpen is the strongest part of our roster. I guess this officially means you're right, Garcia should have pitched the 7th.

yes Tim Mccarver. Explain your Jenks-Jinx pun 3 times for us.

What are the stats on Pierre's tendency to get picked off? Anyone have that off the top of their head?

On a related note, I heard they performed a total face transplant in Spain.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 05:06 PM) De-Facer?? It was just slightly noticeable but he caught a fly out real close to his face

Andruw Jones almost suffered a De-Facer

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) And you don't pull your starter out after 6 innings when he's retired 7 in a row and thrown 77 pitches. That's terrible bullpen management too. You dont worry about Freddy's arm tiring later in games? He's not just any starter.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) And play who? Kotsay or Vizquel ? Tyler Flowers of course.

Not complaining to complain. I'd like to see the bullpen protect that 1 run lead for 9 outs. I think they'd have done it but if we want to rely on convention so be it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) And Garcia gets out of it. See? Hah. Lead intact? I have really high standards in the bedroom as well.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) Bah, you're nuts if you think you'd have taken Garcia out if you were in Ozzie's spot. Lots of 5th starters are treated with kid gloves.

Whoops Ozzie. Whoops.

Time for Ozzie to strike down sense of loyalty just once. Bring on the pen.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 03:50 PM) Jenks would likely net us a mediocre prospect at best. The real motivation to moving him at the deadline would be to save a couple million dollars. That said, if we're out of contention, moving him at the deadline makes sense. Because trading his rights this winter will net us zilch. Nobody's going to give up something to pay a declining closer $8.5M+ next year. Unfortunately we can only get a Brandon Allen type player, I would say. I remember KW complaining a few years ago (at a trade deadline) about the astronomical price for relief arms.

we cant say "shouldve been caught" on anything where a guy is already in a full climb of the fence.

No review?

WHOA. Crazy play. hits the top of the fence, right?

Poor jump by Rios but he's in there. Teahen moves him to third on a single and Cox for once holds someone up.

Rios continues to hit it solidly

Tim mccarver "Ozzie is so soulful and refreshing" Go away forever

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) I do enjoy the "Man Kotsay is killin it in ST, he's gonna be AWESOME!" and then the "ST doesn't mean anything, Teahen will be fine" Well to be fair, the people who liked Kotsay in a platoon (I'm of this group) were liking his (recent)career stats against righties, looking at the roster, looking at the righthandedness of the roster, and looking at a very mysterious bag of goods from Andruw Jones. Very glad here to find that bag of goods is gigantic and amazing.

Teahen and Kotsay. Proof ST means nothing.

QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) Whooo-hoooooo! Ironic that what had in the pre-season looked like one of our weakest links is doing great and the rest of the team has stunk. If only the rest of team could play up to their abilities... 'irony' is when the firehouse burns down, not that.

The Score 670 says they'll be playing the audio soon Supposedly it gets very testy. It's about whether or not Toronto should have baseball.
