I'm still listening to this garbage. He's so wrong tonight.

Ranger, Hawk, Merkin. Ignore them at all costs.
Rongey was calling it the right move before he even heard Ozzie make his comments.
He said "Pierre would have dropped the ball if Buehrle was out there".
Buehrle would have thrown a pop up or a groundout!
He's playing the "Have to protect his arm" card.
f***ing apologist mouthpiece.
Buehrle goes out there, gets three outs on 12 pitches, and we all go home happy.
Waiting for the inevitable line from Ranger:
"If they would have kept Buehrle in there, and he gave up a run, then you'd complain about them not going to the bullpen."
This one is on Ozzie. Bad managing. Buehrle should have stayed in, and Thornton isn't a closer.
I better not hear Rongey's postgame bulls*** that it's too early to pull Thornton from the closer job.

We've got a long string without any offdays coming up at the end of this month...giving everyone in the rotation an extra day off would be a smart move.
I don't think so. It's early in the season. Nobody should be worn out. The schedule is set up so all 4 main starters can get 33 starts. In a perfect world, Humber gets two or three, and Peavy gets 27 or 28.
I'd be surprised if they're going to ask Humber for more than 4 innings.
I could see Humber for four and Pena for two. If it's a game, then you can go with the usual suspects--Sale, Santos.
If it's not a game, then Jeff Gray will get an inning or two. He probably will either way.

I love all the b****ing about this kid. Was he a huge reach? No doubt, but at least he's physically gifted. I have little faith that he'll ever sniff the pros, but our system is so weak we need to give kids like him a chance.
It's not b****ing. It's embarrassment.
I think a AA leadoff hitter should be a prospect. Not minor league filler, which he is.
I'd say it's three strikes and you're out. Thornton's got two strikes.
And weren't you happy when the Sox got the two extra runs so he'd have a 3-run cushion to get that first save?
Oh well. Get 'em tomorrow.
Ken Patterson, Wayne Edwards, and Scott Radinsky would like to have a word with you.

Santos is the best option to close IMO. Problem with that is Crain is the only other reliable right-hander and there is no reason to carry 3 left-handers in a bullpen that has a right-handed closer.
