Capn12

You said it all right there LDF...KW wanted Foulke out of here, and he made a move that while financially and roleplay made sense, he forgot to make sure that Koch was able to do what he was acquired to do.

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret....Koch pitched BEFORE 2003!!! I know, hard to believe, but true....and his stats BEFORE 2003 show that he was a good closer with the numbers to back it up...something is wrong with him this year, evidently no one knows what yet. But when right, he is bar none our best option at closer....the whole Koch's son argument is pretty weak, by the way

Yeah, it sucked because we had no long relief in the pen to use...maybe Glover for 3, White for 2...then we see from there

Did summer camp let you guys stay up late tonight? Its not a difficult concept...look at the STATS..thats what we have to go by in baseball. The STATS say that Koch is the prototypical closer that most all pissed and moaned about the past year. Well, KW goes and gets one, and now that he isnt right, everyone lines up to pile on him. Go talk to KW if ya want to gripe, his failure to check the facts is the issue

Yes I am A Koch supporter....look at his stats in his career...166 saves...he was brought in to be the closer, no one decided to make sure he still could throw 100 mph...the trade made lots of sense on PAPER, and yet no one checked Koch out before acquiring him. I know what he is capable of, and Don't ever call me a f***ing Cubs fan again, junior...thanks

Thats EXACTLY what i was thinking, unfortunately...the Glover experiment begins again...

Nobody f***ing gets it....how Goddamn much better do you think we would be with Foulke...the guy walks after this year, and Koch has blown 4, count them on your fingers, 4 saves....ok? Thats less than Marte, less than Gordon, and White has blown to the nth degree more than Koch..

The same guy is paying Koch that is paying Rick White to suck even more, but I know...he's not as fun to pile on as Koch...all aboard!!

I say that someone shoulda checked the guy out 1st...1)It was KW dealing with Beane, so something is up automatically...2)Its KW, he shoulda known to check Kochs overuse from last year...I still think he can get it back, but someone has to diagnose the problem correctly..

Dude, look how much he was used last year...he doesnt have his velocity...thats not something he lost in the couch cushions...theres a problem....oh, and yeah...we should resign Colon because he has been SO consistently good in a Sox uniform so far. He really looks like he is compassionate about pitching for us.

Damn you koch, giving up the 10th run in a 10-6 game. Way to lose it for us! Yeah...really, that 10th run....c'mon you f***nut Koch!!! We coulda scored 3 more in the 9th...but they knew they couldnt score 4, so they gave up....chalk this one up to Koch again....assclown!!

Yeah, he should be more like the afformentioned Rick White, he is pitching so well

You think that he will never pitch like he has in the past again? Geez, you guys are quick to give up the ship on players...I guess when Buehrle was 2-10, everyone was yelling, "Get rid of him...he is awful!!" I don't hear people saying the same about White....he is garbage, at least Koch has the possibility of getting back to Koch form...I swear the guy has a dead arm, and won't tell anyone...seems like the coaching staff could figure it out...almost 100 IP last year, Beane wears em out, then trades em away...and there are dicksmokes like KW there ready to take on the trades.

Bulls***, bulls***, bulls***....he isn't costing us anything right now, expecially when the pitching staff has already given up 9 damn runs to the AAA Devil Rays...I know the scapegoat talk hasnt been able to be said with all our winning, but give it a break

Why did we lose, you may ask??? Chi White Sox IP H R ER BB K HR Season ERA M. Porzio 3.1 6 4 4 0 1 2 6.43 R. White 2.1 6 5 5 2 0 0 6.13 There ya go!!

He's almost as good as Porzio and White

Yeah, that was a s*** pitch call on Huff, down 0-2...he was guessing there and was right...after 2 offspeed pitches...

Come on guys...lemme hear ya...Mr. Vocal Rick White and his 4 run implosion is at fault here...we were back in it, and past the Porzio splatter...then White with the tie game s***s the bed....hmm...only pitcher thats not had any problems is Glover...as bad as that is...

f***...I knew it

I'm not sure I want Crede up there in this situation...hope he proves me wrong...

We need this one, with Minny and KC faltering already....come on guys

Holy f***!!! I'm getting 2000 Season shivers all over again!!! This team cares about no deficit right now.

Called that one....Sandy NEVER takes that first pitch....why Bell laid one in there, I'll never know..I thought everyone in the league know SAndy swings at first pitch

Well, you may never see that again...Daubach trying to bunt for a hit?

Right now, I can overlook Crede's propensity to pop every pitch he hits up, if he is solid in the field....but thats a play he needs to make
