max power

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 02:57 PM) His record on the season is 2-3. How are you counting these losses? I have no idea what I was looking at, sorry. Three losses and two blown saves is what he has actually done in his last 10 games.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 02:49 PM) Ya Santos has hit a bump on the road, but I don't think you yank him yet after just one blown save this past 2 weeks. I certainly do believe there is a different mental aspect between the 8th and 9th innings. It might not be that great of a deal for the pitcher but for hitters they certainly bat different. B/c it is ur last shot at scoring runs so the batting approach/mentality is certainly different. It just makes it that much easier for the hitters to cue up on a fastball when they know that is coming. In his last 10 games, he also has 4 losses to go with the blown save, and looks ineffective and sometimes downright scary up there. More recently, in his last three outings he has given up 8 ER. I'd like to see him make it through an inning without an ER before trotting him out there in a save situation again. I'm not saying that thornton should be the guy, but I would like to see him get a few chances to see if he can be more successful.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 02:47 PM) I'm still not sure that I'm confident in Thornton right now. Neither am I, but out of everyone in the closer committee, I believe he has pitched the best in the last 10 games. I could be wrong about that.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) Thornton had his chance and failed we can no longer take the risk of losing games where we have the lead in the 9th and should win. Thornton serves best as an 8th inning relief man, what he has done best in his career with the White Sox. Uh, have you seen sergio pitch lately? That's exactly my point. When thornton failed he just wasn't throwing any of his pitches very well. I think he has reigned control in and could now perform. Do you think its a mental thing?

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 09:50 AM) Hey... does anyone ever go to Barcardi at the park when the Sox are playing on the road? Is it even open? I wouldn't mind going down there to watch the Sox v. Minnesota. The director of operations was on air during the game last week. Right now, I believe he said they are trying to work something out, but they are not open during road games yet.

I'd like to see thornton back in there right now, personally, to see if he can hack it. It would be nice to see this team make moves before their non-decisions bury them.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 12:07 PM) I thought he won 63% to 37%. Chavez won the last election 64% to his opposition's 62%.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 11:17 PM) Mark Cuban just dropped "our fans just punked the s*** outta Heat fans" I think you're going to owe the NBA some money after that one. Still worth it. I can't stand that guy either.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) The Draft Fairy. lol.

I like audemar piguets the most.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 12:05 AM) What's the point of an expensive watch? Pointless. What's the point of art?

Juan had two hits, but he also failed to execute a bunt. It was a mixed bag today. Of course, you have to be happy with that kind of production.

I just watched it a few times. I don't have slow motion or anything, but I really think he was safe.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) Can anyone tell if the call at 1b was right? He was safe.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 04:02 PM) comcast you suck, show a replay This.

I thought for sure he was safe.

Okay. One more.

QUOTE (forrestg @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 03:49 PM) I feel like we have jenks on the mound Which version?

That was a meatball.

No walks.

Alex is looking like he took two steps back.

Sweeney has not looked very good up at the dish.

When is the last time the Sox got in a brawl? Seems like forever ago.

Pierre has two hits today.

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) What an awful route to that ball. At least he caught it. True.
