He has been recalled for Koch, and no one can figure out why we brought up Adkins to pitch in relief...

Me thinks somebody has been drinking again...

Pacheco is a starter who we got in the Sandy Alomar trade of last year. I don't know anything about the other guy, but right now Matt Ginter is closing at AAA and Arnie Munoz was closing when Matt was up here. After the Royce Ring trade, I have no idea who is closing at AA, but I am sure someone else can help out on that one.

I hate to break this to ya, but after reading your Rick White was right thread, this is EXACTLY how Jerry Manuel uses his bullpen. That is why you see Damaso Marte and Tom Gordon early in games, and you also see them when we are losing. Manuel wants his best relievers in what he thinks are the critical points of the game.

There is a very clear explanation for that (to me anyway) Rowand's shoulder was not healed. He has never hit like that at any level, and ever since he got healthy he has been on fire. I think he either mislead the team about how bad his shoulder was still hurt from the offseason accident, or the team pushed him back into play sooner than they should have.

Came from AA Wichita, where he put up very good numbers. He's a lefty, good arm, very smart. His first two starts were a fluke, but the kid is going to be, in my mind, a pretty good #3. How can you say it was a fluke? It's not ok to judge a guy after one start, but it's perfectly okay to do so after 2? When someone gives up 1 or 2 ER straight from AA, it's most likely a fluke. I disagree. There have always been good pitchers brought up from AA and been successful. Not all of them, certainly. But it does happen. Example: Dontrell Willis. We don't know if Gobble is a fluke or not. That would make Willis a fluke IMO, how many other rookie pitchers this year have made that kind of splash? Pretty much outside of Willis, the only guy is Rich Harden.

So what more does this guy have to do to play more often? What a night this kid had. Like I have said all year, I love to watch this guy play as he always leaves it all out on the field. As far as I am concerned, Carl Everett should never start again LHPing. I really think that the Carl Everett trade was unnecesary, and Aaron would have put up the same type of numbers Carl did, and we could have saved the 3 prospects.

Well I will say this much, we need a couple of our back of the pen pitchers to step up and give us some big innings to lessen the load on Marte and Gordon or this bullpen will be fried.

YMCA by the Village People?

WSI is probably looking for mods...

Who do you sit? Frank, Maggs, Pauly, or Lee?

Jerry Don Gleaton where are you when our bullpen needs you so much???

I never made a reference to how many posts Neal has made, nor how often he has been on this board, because to me it doesn't make a difference a member is a member and deserves a certian level of respect. People insult each other on here all of the time. That is the downfall of the much more open rule structure on here. And like I said, there were a million different ways that a person could have said how bad Cotts pitched last night, and I wouldn't have argued with many of them, because he did get wild. And as for the reaction of a bad night, that is fine. I rarely get upset, except for a few times a year, when it is a mental aspect that is a downfall, and not a physical problem. But take out of the game what you wish. That my friend is up to you.

He has also used Bullard's ID to make some posts, before he has his own ID, but that is beside the point. The amount of posts you have doesn't equate to the level of abuse you have to take. Just because I have more posts than you do, does it mean that I can abuse you? Is there a minimum number of posts you need before you are considered a "real" Soxtalk member? No, that is all absurd.

Why do you keep changing the discussion? One minute you are talking about one thing, the next you are on to something else... As for Cotts being a member here, yes it makes a difference. Have you ever seen a thread that saids "f*** [insert member name] " on here anywhere? It is not allowed. Of course you have to degenerate to calling it "ass kissing". If you want to turn this into name calling the discussion is done. Ass kissing is not name calling. I apologized for having to use it, but I didn't know what else to say. Would you prefer "sucking up to" "brown nosing"? I don't know. Well whatever, you have my reason for that line of thought. Can you see anyone starting a f*** HSC or Bmr thread? Like I said tear the guy apart for his preformance, say he doesn't belong, that is all fine, and if you can back it up, I will at least respect your opinion. (Heck I was one of the few people on record ahead of time saying that I didn't think it was a great idea to have Neal up here yet.) But freak out on a guy making his major league debut and expect to hear about it.

Dude, YOU are the one who keeps asking why, or putting words into peoples mouth's. Don't get pissed off because people correct a falsehood.

Uhh, try again. He never said it was because you didn't argee with him on Cotts, it was because of the "f*** neal cotts" bs.
