QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 10:33 PM) I COULD understand the front office being hesitant to deal Tyrus which is understandable. Maybe a future star, potential off the charts, could bite them in the ass, yada, yada, yada. No.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 10:59 PM) Go ahead, tell me why I have no reason to be concerned over Bobby Jenks. It would be a fascinating argument I think considering his stuff, WHIP, and ERA are all as bad as they have ever been with the Sox. Take it easy chief. I said nothing about Jenks. All I'm saying is that this thread came WAAAAAAY later than I expected. I thought it'd have been posted some time in the bottom of the 9th.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 10:54 PM) Fail at what? Is that the only reply you have? Good one. I stated that wrongly. From a players standpoint, would you rather be given the chance to finish what you started, or have the fate of the game be put in someone else's hand? If I was Richard tonight, I absolutely want to go out there in the 9th. Please stop. You have NO idea how good Richard felt. He was already showing signs in the 8th. He started getting behind batters but still managed to get out of it. He had a great start. You don't want to risk him losing the confidence if he gave up the lead in the 9th. He's been s***ty as balls lately anyway. You take him out after 8 and take it as a huge positive. Sure, you'd WANT to go out there and finish it, but it doesn't mean you can successfully do so. You aren't the only person here to ever play baseball.

I was waiting for it. Came later than I assumed.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:59 PM) Anyone find out if a closer has had a blown save vs the Sox this year? Were 0-39 after trailing in the 8th, so I doubt it.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:48 PM) Slav should take the same advice, or he'll wind up cursing at his mother by accident. Shut up.

Horribly frustrating loss.

Man, taking that 1st pitch down the pipe was bad by Nix.

Apparently waiting back means nothing to this team.

86 mph right down the pipe.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:37 PM) Nix hitting for Getz? I don't like. Nix is a RH with power. I understand the move.

This ump is horses***.

Where the f*** was that pitch for Bobby?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:30 PM) Um, Dotel is the person who I would beg for Ozzie to use as a closer instead of Linebrink last year. He's the only one with closing experience besides him. I understand you're pissed about what's happened tonight, we all are. Ok.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) Oh stop...he should have been pulled when the bases were loaded. After seeing how poorly the fastball was the first few batters, you have to bring in Dotel. You're ridiculous. You are probably Dotel's biggest critic. He always chokes. He's not a closer. GMAB, you're never f***ing wrong are you? I'm tired of your bulls***. Now is not the f***ing time.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:26 PM) Worthless post. Ironic.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:23 PM) Good one Ozzie! Ya, what a moron. Bringing your closer in? Horrible decision. STOP f***ING WHINING!!!!!!!!!

Who's batting for us in the 9th? Chalk that one up to the ump, they've been bad tonight. Mainly Diaz.

1-2-3 DP Bobby, come on.

Well, this is just great.

Oh boy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) For having a lesbian sister, he sure pitched well. What does that have to do with anything?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:12 PM) Honestly, if Clayton says he feels strong, I let him finish this game out. With the way the bullpen has been, along with how he has thrown tonight, it's his game. Let him win it or lose it. I can't say I disagree. That's what we did with Garland and it paid off. Gotta let them grow. Right now though, I take him out with high confidence.

Way to freaking go Clayton!

JD not very hot of late.
