lol, people are really naive. and i hate internet trolls. I'd punch you in the face if i met you in person. Not because I hate you, but because I have a personality quirk that makes me want to destroy anything that purposefully tries to rile people up. Forgive me.

jesus christ Tony Pena is useless. USELESS. it's GUARANTEED he will give up runs when you bring him in

When Peavy comes back, just put Humber in LF and DFA Pierre

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:01 PM) Ball being hit hard at a player is an out. Statistically even the best hitters only hit 1/3 times. Bad luck is when something that would normally happen (fly ball that hits a players glove being caught) doesnt happen. Balls get hit hard at players all the time. ALMOST EVERY BALL PUT IN PLAY WITH THORNTON PITCHING HAS BEEN LINE-SHOTS. If you don't understand what this means, I don't know what to tell you. He's getting lit up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:59 PM) Tonight was not about luck. Crisp's line drive was good luck for Thornton. THIS. Talk about the dropped fly ball. Yeah, bad break for poor matty! Thank god for Konerko getting a ball blazed right into his glove at 500 MPH. It evened out.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:37 PM) Yeah, I speak it. Apparently Ozzie doesn't (hardy har har). Seriously, I couldn't get a concrete idea WTF he was talking about; didn't sound sensible. What was "decided in Spring training?" That he wouldn't exceed the 8th inning? I mean...??? lol Ozzie decided in spring training (made the decision during spring training) that THIS YEAR, they would protect Buehrle's arm by limiting how many pitches he throws in games he starts I'm not quite sure how someone who speaks english can't understand this

I woulda rather had Buehrle out in the 9th too (i said it in this thread) but if Ozzie said earlier this year that they were gonna start protecting Buehrle's arm from 100+ pitch outings then whatever, that's something they think they need to do Pierre and Thornton combined are killing this teams chances to win in the 9th inning

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) Well, that's going to pay off when Ozzie's in Florida next year. What does what you just said have to do with Rongey being an apologist? Just trying to put 2 & 2 together here.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) Um... what??? English m'fer, do you speak it?

FYI you kids who think Rongey is being an apologist, Ozzie said in the post-game that he wasn't going to let Mark pitch because he has to protect him this year and the decision was made this spring. Food for thought

How come every year this roster gets tight ass when there's even the slightest sense of urgency or adversity? Games against the twins last year, now just a f***ing save situation or close 9th inning game. It's bulls***

maybe a loss tonight will force ozzie's hand.

Morel has a lot to learn. Like the odds of an 0-2 pitch being hittable is pretty slim. Take a pitch, slick.

Pierre is a f***ing bench player at this point. Honestly, he's not even that. He's a worthless roster spot.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) AGAIN?!?! That is not Thornton's fault. LOL, seriously? Thornton is INCAPABLE OF GOING 1-2-3.

You can't run him out there again. Not in his own making? He gave up a leadoff double you f***ing morons.

LOLOLOLOL

Now matt can't locate his FB. This closer decision was terrible

Thornton is a joke now.

buehrle can throw a CG, his PC is pretty low

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) OMFG !!!!!!!! yessssss! YES! yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally ordering my Lillibridge jersey t!

I'm jealous of the fan who got that ball

10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLillibomb

only question left now, is what inning will Buehrle give up the solo shot in? I'm gonna say the 8th, since I think he'll throw a CG tonight

Going the other way with a right handed hitter against a changeup-throwing lefty? What is this!?
