Oh great, first Politte, now Cotts. I'm finally completely worried about our bullpen.

QUOTE(ShoeLessRob @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) Sarcasm, in case you missed it. Politte is still out there, I love it!

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 10:11 PM) you gotta be joking, Cliff didn't hurt us? He gave up 4 runs. We were already down 2. Not like we would have been able to come back from that.

I like how we leave him in there, after 2 homers and a single. Game over, Ozzie just threw in the towel, just like he did last Friday when he brought in Thorton. Good thing we got Buehrle going tomorrow to get us back on track. I expect another 7+ IP from him, with 0 ER. NEWS: Politte gives up another hit and another run! 2 out, man on third!

Is his ERA over 30 yet? It's GOT to be close if it isn't. 3 homers given up in 3 innings. Just what I wanted from our star righty.

10-5. Cut Politte now, he's toast. 2 homers in one f***ing inning. Awesome! He gone!

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:58 PM) Well......Politte's terrible now. I'm sure happy we were bunting in the 5th inning though. I'm going to mark this game up as worst game of the year. Absolutely horribly played by almost everyone on the team. We were up 3, with our "dominant" pitcher in. He should have come out after it was 5 to 4, and this game is a different game. Anderson needs to go, hes done. He's horrible. We're in big trouble if Politte keeps throwing beach balls out there over the plate.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:33 PM) Since I don't have the game on TV and I'm assuming too much I better get out of here for a while. Peace. That's a good idea. This is a horrible game. It hurts a lot to watch. Anderson is once again sucking HORRIBLY. He absolutely killed a bases loaded, one out situation, and he strikes out with 2 on. Good job guys!

Great waste of 2 hits to start an inning.

Now we need Pablo to save us again. Come on baby! Two-run double! Let's go!

And Anderson strikes (out) again! What a great hitter! Two on, no out. now two on, two out. What a horrible waste of a game. Up 3, now down 2. Bad bad bad.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Now Brian Anderson can end the inning on a double play. Awesome. What happened to Ozzieball?

CINTRON! Two infield singles! 2 on, no out. Too bad BA is coming up in 2. I see a Widger single, and then Anderson grouding into a triple play. Good lord BUNT WIDGER!

Lucky hit for Crede, but I'll take it. 3/3!

Wow, if Dye weren't a monster, we're down 3. Thank god he's got an arm, what a throw and relay! Javier is done, and his ERA has ballooned to 6.94. I just can't make sense of this pitching staff. Let's go offense, you did well so far, it's too bad we need to get more. 5 runs should be plenty with the pitching staff we have, atleast on paper.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) what happened? can someone fill me in? CWSOX45 Javier has given up 5 runs on 6 hits. He looks terrible. We're not down 2, when we came in up 3.

Good job Javier. Such a good outing last weekend, such a horrible, horrbile outing tonight. We're in trouble again.

Come on.. get us out of here with the lead...

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) McCarthy isn't pitching tonight. If he does, I'll go to the Cell and punch Ozzie in the face. Oh right, he pitched 3 innings last night. I forgot. Hmm, Thorton then?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) Made a good pitch. Cmon Javy. Leave them right there. What a horrendues inning/outing for Vazquez. McCarthy coming in soon?

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:03 PM) Robin Ventura's really bad stretch came early in the 1990 season. Here's his daily log for that season. What you notice is that when Ventura went 0 for 39, he struck out only 10 times. Anderson is well past that - 12 K's in what, 27 AB's now? He's not even close. He definitely needs to sit for a while. The problem is, as others have noted, that the Sox really don't have any true options in CF right now outside a trade. That's what I mean, Anderson is striking out way too often.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 08:56 PM) What would another season at AAA have done for BA? He's proven he can hit AAA pitching, and based on that the Sox brought him up. It's not to "prove" anything. It's to give him time to get the kink out of his swing, or whatever else he is having problems with. Maybe hes having a timing problem, so let him work that out. I'm not sure in this case, I just know he has tons of K's, and its not a good thing. Like I said, if he were making a lot of contact, hitting them right at people, or something, I wouldn't complain, but K's hurt a lot.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 08:53 PM) If the Sox had that same mentality you possess, that means that all of the young players came up through our system would be long gone. That means we wouldn't have Robin Ventura who started off terribly as a rookie, along with guys like Crede, Garland, Cotts and plenty of others who struggled as rookies. You have to give you guys like Anderson time. It's too early to give up on him. Give him time in AAA. He couldn't be expected to come up with just experience in Spring Training and do well. They could have let him spend a month or two in AAA to get into it, and then call him up. I think that would have been the best choice.
