QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 02:28 PM) Poopsy and Heads -- I've never been a fan of placing pitchers who have predominantly started in their careers into the bullpen. Yes, I know it is common across baseball; but in my opinion, it's impractical with this current ballclub. With our starting pitching staff featuring four starters who consistently pitch deep, the opportunity for innings will rarely present itself. Ask yourselves this, what's better for Egbert's future? Pitching out of the bullpen in Chicago, or starting in Charlotte? Aye, aye. I agree with this, truly. I'm just getting so damn tired of watching the same old trash over and over again. Anything that would be a change would be a beautiful thing, to me.

I'm bettin' we tie it up in dramatic fashion, and then lose 21-20 in 10.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 02:15 PM) What do you say about my Egbert to the pen idea? I mean f***, god forbid he spoils our tremendous pen that includes Ryan Bukvich, Nick Masset and Dewon Day. I think the theory is you want to keep prospects pitching regularly and learning, etc. That being said, I really wouldn't mind seeing some of these people like Egbert, etc up here pitching.

I laughed when i saw "Ryan Bukvich replaces Dewon Day"

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 01:52 PM) Imagine how the Twins feel. They explode for 18 runs, and the way things are working maybe we can get their back end of the pen up and into this game. They're winning. I'm sure they really feel rather fine.

pinchrunning in the 7th for a guy that's 3 for 3, when you're down 10?

Golly, I'm so glad that they have the veteran pitching the first game so we can save the bullpen in case the rookie blows up!

Holy shiiietttt, i just popped in to check the score, is this for real? The hell happened?!

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 04:29 PM) Yeah. I don't think Danman speaks for even most of us. Nobody here likes this team. It's impossible to like. There's nothing worth following sans the Starters and even that's iffy because for the most part we know what the results will be. I understand why people wouldn't want to go to games (I don't have the money to spend on this team -- if I did, I'd still go, but I haven't gone to as many games as in the past and I probably won't go to too many for the rest of the year, either, but I will see a few later in the summer for sure). I think it's time to look forward for the future, but it's hard to get FURIOUS with the White Sox. I'm upset with Williams, the players and the scouts, but I don't hate anyone, and definitely not the Chicago White Sox. I like this team!!!

Yes.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 01:56 PM) Jerry Owens and Gustavo Molina are two of the worst players I've ever seen on the Sox big league roster. Like I said at the time, KW and Ozzie might be the only people who think Owens should have ever been called up. Fathom, considering that they want Sweeney down there to work on his swing, etc, and Anderson is in EVERYONE's doghouse, who the hell else do you want them to call up? Owens is up here by necessity right now.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 01:55 PM) So you're saying there's a chance......................yessssssssssssssssssssss. You're my hero!

QUOTE(earthshiner @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 01:51 PM) no but maybe take at least one pitch. At least that would make it look like he has a clue. I mean he just walked two guys. However, he did put a nice swing on that line drive and the guy made a hell of a catch. He took the first pitch of the at bat for a strike...

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 01:41 PM) Here that? That's the sound of 35,000 fans not saying a word. Where that?

Ballgame, IMO.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 07:29 PM) How the hell can you be a pro ball player and be so damn bad at bunting?? Greg Walker...

Woo Johnny Danks! That's how you pitch out of a jam!

Few more losses and the gamethreads might not exceed a page.

Someone please elaborate on "hurt". Does it look bad?

Juan Uribe Sr. in to pitch!

Holy s***, this guys picture on Gameday makes him look like he's 12, at most.

Ahhh, man. I love Aaron Rowand.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 12:28 PM) Another game where we get a few runs early, and then we just go silent and wait for the other team to comeback against our pitchers. It's fine though....this team is so bad, it's not worth it to hope they get a few wins and fool our GM. There is absolutely no excuse for the Sox to become sellers. Indeed?

With Matt being the only near-consistent reliever we have other than Jenks, I don't blame ozzie at all for not pinch hitting in that situation. You really, REALLY want someone out there who might actually be able to get some outs for you.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 10, 2007 -> 01:29 PM) 6-3. jeez jenks gives up 3 runs in 2 outings. Jenks gave up nothing, those aren't his batters. He comes into this inning clean, and nothing scores.
