Capn12

Taken in context, written by Scott Merkin Just to kind of remind folks, Koch has NEVER been a 1-2-3 kind of guy in his career. So when I hear people b**** and whine on game threads about someone getting on, I just kinda smile. The stats from his 2002 season say it all for his effectiveness vs. his ability to 1-2-3 the other team. Just thought it was some good information to pass on.

Cali, unfortunately Fox has ALWAYS had too quick a hook on some of the best stuff on TV. The first season of John Doe IMO was a great show, and they yanked it. Family Guy's yank was just idiotic. I'm sure there are a few others that they have used the same treatment on. I've never seen Arrested Development, but I do know that every review or tidbit about the show is always positive, so I could see it as being another Fox mistake if they got too antsy once again.

Holy Feck!! There HAD to be a reason he has sucked so badly the last 2 years, now we know. That kind of damage isn't just the result of a couple starts...thats something that has built on his arm for a while unfortunately. Well you guys wanted a shot to see some of the young arms, or a move, so hold your breath!!!

eek..thats damn scary, considering how bad Atlanta is this year

Even still after the Perfect Game...i dont wan't what will be a 41 year old pitcher making $16 MILLION in 2005, even if some is deferred. It would go against everything cheapass JR has stood for so far...and would pretty much guarantee a signifigantly different Sox team...IMO for the worse

Chalk the Capn up as one of the biggest Schoe doubters. I for one didn't want ANY part of him being in our rotation....pleasant surprises are always nice... Now if only Marte would de-Alfonseca himself and return to his normal form..

As long as you remember my name in that "3 or 4" mreye, I won't cry wolf. Because for the longest time I've been the only one to still be behind Koch on the boards I think.

Very good point that I have been watching all year. Marte has had very few outings where he just looked like the Damaso of the psat 2 years.

Joe Borowski, Jason Isringhausen, Rocky Biddle, Matt Herges, Matt Mantei, Curtis Leskanic. All are doin worse than Koch, and quite honestly right now there are alot of closers with good numbers in MLB. I don't have a problem with how Koch is doing at all. Lets see, you take away the 1 bad game Koch had against KC, and he is sporting a 2.30 ERA. So yeah, he has had 1 BAD game. Tell me 1 pitcher on our staff that hasnt? I'll check back for the response tonight, cause its gonna take at least that long to realize everyone on this staff has sucked at least once this year. Get off Koch's ass while he is doing his job well, Jesus. When he starts to struggle, jump all on him, I expect it from all of you anyways.

NO ONE should Yas....tell me the name of one closer, besides the INSANE Gagne, that is not gonna blow some saves? Koch is doing just what I expect from him, and I still remain his biggest supporter.

C'mon, just tell the truth: RHP Danny Wright was placed on the 15-Day DL Monday with a case of Bruised Pride. White Sox trainers say that Danny's feelings have been hurt REAL bad by the way he is pitching. Wright, who was 0-4 with a 8.15 ERA in Chicago before being demoted to Charlotte (where his is 0-2 with a 28.69 ERA), has had trouble with his right elbow before.

/hides. Yes, sigh, I'm still an AaRow supporter, although I don't know who in the hell this guy is wearing his uniform so far this year. Certainly NOT the Aaron Rowand that I put my confidence in.

Beastley...i think it its "Straight Outta Line" by Godsmack

that kicks ass playa....thanks so much bro!!

I'm tired of having to see my USC hoops team after every post, so I want to ask someone out there with graphical skills to make me something new. I want Koch, JonnyG, and AaRow in there....anything else is all up to you!!! I suck at that stuff, so I have to come and beg you guys

Jeez...i can understand bein indebt to the guy for what he has done, but c'mon JoePa...just step away from the game now while you still have some legacy to treasure.

Seattle has just fallen off teh perverbial Baseball map...and I can't say it saddens me. Ever since that piece of shiott Carlos Guillen squeezed that run in 2000, I have f***ing HATED the Mariners, especially Eeeeeeeeekero. So good f***in riddance Nintendo Inc Mariners!

yeah my boy JonnyG has gotten the hard shaft lately. Sure, his BB:K ratio still sucks. It always has. But now he is getting people out, unfortunately the bats go eerily silent on his days to pitch

no question... In My Life so few words have never rang more true in life. I'm Only Sleeping, I've Just Seen a Face, Two of Us, It's Only Love... my list goes on forever...

Oh my God!!! I demand a recount!!! Gratz Aboz....I feel like a stranger o nthe boards anymore. I know I suck. Just don't break out teh admin bat on me too many times please!!

.......................what have you done for me lately........... well, 2 appearances, troubles with control, but still 2 Saves. thats how it shows up on my Box Score I have. how about yours?

now now, ss2k4...don't go throwing truths into the equation, some Sox fans don't like that. My boy Koch gettin it together...

Now if someone can find the Mark Buehrle of 2 years ago, and not this one we have now for tomorrows start, we'll be ok!!

Happy Birthday JAS!!! I forgot that yours was only 2 days before mine!!! wanna switch ages? Don't do anything too crazy tonight, but indeed enjoy it, it only happens once in a lifetime!!

......why should I not be surprised....Mark Buehrle pitches like absolute s*** at home....and we are trying to get rid of Koch. SSDD like always with some of you folks.
