QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:40 PM) Well the Linebrink sucks mantra didn't just show up over night. He's been giving up a lot of runs for an eternity. And I can remember Jenks giving up some runs at least a couple of times on either side of the kidney stones issue. It's not been a good stretch for the BP, and when you consider that this is supposed to be a strength, there's trouble brewing, er exploding. I stopped believing that myth 2 months ago.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:38 PM) How misleading do you really think it is? Ok, so maybe instead of 20 it's 16 or 17. It's still suggestive of a terrible bullpen. And when you consider the games where the starters went 7-8 innings, and all the bullpen had was 3 - 6 outs, it shouldn't change your mind. Did you honestly need that stat in the first place to tell you that the bullpen isn't all that good?

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:25 PM) According to joesaiditstrue in the chat, the White Sox bullpen has done the following since the All-Star break: In the last 35 games, the bullpen has given up atleast one run in 20 of them. Williams has a lot of problems ahead of him. That's a misleading stat. What about games where the starter was pulled in the 4th and the bullpen only gave up 1 more run the rest of the way? I'd call that a good job by the bullpen.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:30 PM) he built it on aging arms. Although what the f*** is wrong with thornton i have no idea. Must just be a bad stretch. He throws nothing but straight fastballs. I'm surprised it took so long for opposing teams to figure this out.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) No clutch hitting. Below Mediocre bullpen AT BEST. Terrible defense. This formula will translate to many many lost games!!! Buy this formula now for 105 million!!!!!! A few hours ago you were saying hitting wasn't the problem.

What's the precaution for? He is coming back from an ankle injury that has fully healed.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:06 PM) I think KW has to be a bit worried about Rios so far. He has shown us nothing and appears to be living up to his underachieving billing. And on another note, is it just me or is our bullpen just collapsing over the past few months? It's not just you.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:04 PM) If you don't think players visit this board, you are kidding yourself. I wouldn't be surprised if they even visit this site during the games. Of the 32 baseball teams in the league only White Sox fans are critical of their team when they are losing.

Who the hell is Liebrink?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 08:59 PM) LMAO

The $200 million dollar 3rd place team.

AND THIS SEASON IS OVAH!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 02:01 PM) I'm putting you on ignore You don't have to. Even my threads are on ignore.

Could you be a little less edgy?

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 02:48 PM) OUr offense isn't the issue. Our offense has been terrible lately. We got shut down by a bunch of terrible pitchers in the last 2 weeks alone.

I'll give this thread about 4 posts before it gets into a political discussion or some trolling occurs.

Yay! Go team!

I was hoping the mods already had me on ignore.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) Aren't these people supposed to get suspended or whatever if they are creating those types of threads and dragging down the quality of the forum though? At least that's what I thought that memo a while back was for... I didn't realize ChiSox_Sonix translated to "snitch".

I already know that I will be very negative and sarcastic the rest of this season. This team is driving me insane. If you are easily annoyed or offended by this type of discussion I would recommend putting me on ignore for the next 5 weeks. If there are others who will be equally negative and annoying please add your name to this thread so that others can put you on ignore. I will look for your posts so that we can wallow in our misery together.

Nah. Why utilize your best OF defender when you can trot out Pods and Dye to perform a Ringling Brothers imitation?

ALSO, THIS THREAD IS STUPID. SENT FROM BLACKBERRY

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 04:25 PM) In or out? Either way, BigSqwert will need a new computer. IM OUT UNLESS WE MAKE TO PLAYOFFS. MY PC IS BROKEN. SENT FROM BLACKBERRY

Even Dye would vote "out".

Zinc oxide poisoning has decreased my abilities to distinguish appropriate uses of 'then' vs 'than'.
