??? Ummm, okay.

Ughhh.

Thome = only guy on the team who should be allowed to swing on a 3-0 count.

And the funny thing is that the truth is probably the exact opposite. The reason Frank went off on the Sox is probably because he never wanted to leave in the first place.

Yep, I saw an interview of Frank on ABC 7 news. I think he realizes that he still has fans here and that the Sox are going to do something for him during the game.

Exactly. He needs to be able to locate his slider off the left side of the plate since he will only be facing righties. His fastball has never been that great anyways.

Garcia's ERA (3.92) is now back down to his career ERA (3.93) and he has a 7-1 record. He could be a #1 pitcher on some teams and would be a #2 pitcher on most teams. He should definately net us some goodies if the Sox decide to trade him in the offseason and he does make the most sense to trade. Do you mean "The Untouchable" Rich Hill? The guy that Jim Hendry wouldn't trade for Adam Dunn?

For a starting pitcher, 27 is young.

By the way, I'd rather have Garcia than Garland but Garcia makes the most sense to trade.

Agreed, Garcia is the guy to trade. He could end up with the highest win total with an ERA in the high 3's but he will only be under contract for one more season. His velocity has been on the decline over the years and he smokes too much dope. Use the money dumped to help lock up Buehrle. Then we have... Contreras Buehrle Vazquez Garland McCarthy

I heard the same thing on The Score. They also said that KW was in Charlotte to watch Nelson pitch. I see nothing wrong with sending Montero down when Nelson is ready.

I was at the game as well and he was running full speed on his flyouts.

I hope this game doesn't come down to our bullpen again.

Or 3 pitches well off the left side of the plate and he fishes for it almost everytime.

Hey! Leave the Tazmanian Devil alone. He just likes corkscrewing himself into the ground every AB. :banghead "PROFUNDO!!!" :headshake

I was sitting in Section 535 upper deck behind home plate and could see everything. The ball was slicing but Mackowiak took a bad route and looked like he was running in quicksand. I think Anderson would have made the catch.

Yep, I was at the game and I'd have to agree. I think Anderson would have made that catch without a dive. It was the first thing I thought about afterwards. Bad defense and a sucky bullpen lost us the game yesterday. As far as Nelson goes, our bullpen is so brutal right now that I don't see a problem with giving him a shot. We would have won that game 4-2 last season.

Let's go Tazmanian Devil.

I don't normally either but DJ seems to make it happen.

DJ: "Paulie doesn't beat the ball into the ground to third base for a double play these days..." *moments later* PaulieGIDP's to third base. :headshake

DJ is such a f***ing worthless jinx.

Haha, I'm sure Maddux knows who Mark Buehrle is now.

That was almost like his homer against Boston in the playoffs.

It was only a matter of time that they were going to destroy Maddux. They were killing the ball in the 1st.
