Dick Allen

How many of those guys had great ML debuts? The fact remains that you can't buy or sell a player based on 1 start. I'd give him one more chance. If he struggled because of jitters, then the stuff he showed in the 1st and to get out of the 2nd will certainly help the Sox. I think he deserves another chance, whether it's out of the pen or as a starter. If he gets another start and it's the same thing, then send him back down, otherwise he has the stuff to really help us. Granted, it's just stuff. Garland had it and it took him a while to become a good pitcher. All I'm saying is give him another chance in some form. I don't think its jitters. I'm sure he was nervous, as anyone would be, but I think he got over that quickly. He would have had his jitters at the beginning. He got progressively wilder as the game went along.

Yes, personally I'd rather see Wright out there, because he has experience. Also, Harden hasn't seemed to have to much trouble, niether has Jimmy f***ING Gobble of KC, for God's sake. Because he faced Tampa Bay twice? Just maybe? Thank God all of you scumbags don't manage this team or any player, because their confidence would be in the s***ter before they hit the 2nd inning. The Angels are 6-15 their last 21 games. They are not exactly an offensive juggernaut. Cotts walks 7 in 2.1 innings. Quit defending him. Like someone posted earlier, he's not ready, maybe next year, but not now in a division race. There was a question about his control all along, and he's done nothing to smash those concerns. Then why did the Angels light up Colon last night? Answer that. Even the Cubs score runs every now and then. Tampa scored something like 32 runs in a 3 game series with Boston. This guy Gobble is pretty impressive. To say he faced Tampa twice is the reason for his success is a joke. The way Cotts pitched tonight, he wouldn't have been effective against anyone. He has to go back in the minors and learn to throw strikes.

If Garland, who is 23 or 24 walked this many you'd be up in arms. Just because this guy posts here ocassionally gives him no free pass. Which coincidentally is something he gives way too much of. This outing was very predicable.

A great time to be experimenting with AA pitchers who can't throw strikes. This is ridiculous.

very quickly it is 0 and 2.

Mark likes to get it and throw it

Hawks holiday greeting, "Make it a safe, happy, and reflective one"

They play Paulie to hook They play Willie to slice

right man, right spot

get foul..................it will, thank you very much

watch out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he's faced Appier 17 times , has 6 hits, and 4 of those have stayed in the park

he was looking for it, got it, and he didn't miss it.

dial him in, reel him in, and light him up

another Hawkism that he saves for horrible calls by umpires......... "thats b.s."

Thats just a get-me-over slider right there

Or when Wright is pitching the inevitable, "C'mon Danny, no walks"

One time, big Frank Give 'em a thrill

either way

I'll bet you a dozen golf balls................................

you can hang all the warsh in Cook County on that rope

sacks packed with Sox ball4, basehit

Sox in a whole buncha trouble

that's a nice piece of woodwork. I wonder if Hawk says this to Palmeiro, post viagra
