QUOTE (OilCan @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 02:11 PM) Danks, Floyd and Garcia's ERA in August are over 4.5 or 5. Yuck. When the chips have been down this month against good teams (Twins/Yankees), Danks and Floyd have flat-out sucked. Against the Yankees, they have been behind virtually every hitter and a many of those hitters are not good.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Come on, Mark. Not exactly coming up big tonight. Trying to be too fine because our offense sucks so much?

Hawk now going into Joe West references . . .

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 09:59 PM) Cause then we can convert Kotsay to a reliever. He'll just throw the ball to the second basemen a lot.

At this point, how can Matt Thornton not be placed on the DL? We are literally out of pitchers.

And Putz is hurt. Good stuff.

LOL, Hawk: "The bullpen has really been struggling."

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 09:54 PM) Are we even allowed to get outs in the 9th anymore? Betancourt won't be coming up this inning, right? Just checking.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 09:53 PM) Wow, it's just totally mental for our bullpen right now. If by mental, you mean terrifyingly awful, I agree.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:12 AM) Mercy...that was 7 hours of our lives we'll never get back, but at least it doesn't seem like a total waste of time. +1

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:07 AM) The White Sox have proven time and time again the ability to blow leads in the past week+. It's not a matter of can. Putz 2nd inning? Seems like a surefire blown save. Well, technically, it would be a blown win, not save.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:05 AM) mercy. so who pitches the bottom frame, omar? Hawk's Left Nut

I guess I just realized that we have 1 actual power hitter in our lineup. Wow.

So, who pitches next? I'm betting Buehrle is out there before today's over. It's his throw day.

And to think it all started with Jenks's bereavement leave . . . Now, we're all in bereavment.

Hawk is about to commit suicide. Hope Frank is ready for play-by-play.

Glad Thornton still has "soreness."

The question, of course, is whether he'll throw the splitter with the man on 3rd. And, no, he didn't.

LOL

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 12:51 AM) Ozzie said it wasn't anything serious. Oh.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 12:44 AM) Thornton has "soreness". That makes me even more upset about Tuesday night. Soreness? It's been 4 days. That doesn't sound so hot.

You know that Hawk wanted to say: "Joe West won the first game, in 11 innings."

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 12:46 AM) So literally ANYTHING hit to the outfield now gets a "Stretch" from Hawk?! Once the ball proceeds beyond second base in the air, Hawk's vocal chords involuntarily kick in. It's physiological.

Kotsay's gotta be excited about the Teahen injury.
