QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:51 PM) Does anyone revel in the wins? I posted my final thoughts in the game thread. Great game by Rios, Pods and nix Linebrink needs to be a situational guy. I have a headache after watching that game.

My closing thoughts In all seriousness Pods is a great DH Linebrink looked great against Righties he need to be a more situational guy Jenks was sick... that AB by Pena was great both ways Rios is an upgrade to this team.... This game set the table offensively for tomorrow Big Game Fred.

Great AB by Pena Spectacular play lillibridge

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:42 PM) Lillibridge not for Alexei.. but for Nix. Outstanding. Kotsay hit for NIX no choice there

Bloomquist will get on and steal second

QUOTE (Special K @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) Linebrink is now in line for the win... He deserves it Didn't he do the same thing to Floyd a week or so back?

Leave in Linebrink

Pods bailed out Guillen Hell yes

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) Isn't it a little bit different when your team is trailing? not if the pitcher is done anyway and Bannister was wow was that a poorly managed 8th by Ozeroo do they even talk on the bench??

That bunt and the two lefties killed any chance of getting that run in.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:27 PM) Jacobs looks absolutely dreadful whenever we have a lefty pitch to him. Williams was the person to face him there, no doubt about it. If that was the Sox batting, you bet your ass the manager would have brought in the lefty reliever. Hillman did not in the 7th to face AJ

QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:25 PM) sac please. Ramirez has a better cahnce of driving in that run with an extra base hit as anyone.

Guillen was fine for the first two, maybe three hitters but after walking Teahan, go with the lefty....

and yet he leaves him in still what is f***ing wrong with Guillen in what world is Linebrink effective?????

Gonna be tied in a minute this guy has power

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:16 PM) Just when Hawk started to praise Linebrink, he starts throwing balls. Not really even close either Linebrink oughta fake an injury here Shoulda brought in Dotel

For those not watching at home Thorton warmed up and then the ump and AJ came out then Guillen and got Linebrink...no trainer, no real discussion I think maybe Guille nwas hoping for a rain delay or somethign before making the move. and the 2 out walk after simply acing the first two guys..nothing is easy with this team

Dotel can't hold a one run lead but he can hold a three run lead. Linebrink is a complete crap shoot.

Hopefully just an odd stupid stall move....... I hate Scott Linebrink

please don't be hurt

I'd also like to add that right there was a terrible piece of managing after the Konerko AB to leave Bannister in there.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) No one would want Wise over BA. Except for us. Honestly if we somehow lost Wise we could just call up someone like David Cook. There are many people in our organization that could provide more then what he has this year. Also, I’d prefer to save the fake injury excuse for someone who can help the team. Like Contreras. I agree 100% but why hasn't it happened already this year AJ OK call this game now .

Beckham and Konerko looked as clueless as possible right there. This guy has 101 pitches through 6.2 innings and Dye made him work prior to Konerko letting him off

Konerko looks so lost.....

This team is getting great at hitting the long foul ball....not sure what that means.
