QUOTE (iamshack @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:44 PM) Before we all get ahead of ourselves, again, he only has 1 year of service time. Do we even have to worry about locking him up? Absolutely not.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:42 PM) Jose was good for a year and a half. Loaiza for one. Remember how giddy everybody was after we locked Contreras up after '05? Then by '07 everybody wanted him traded for a Miller Lite. Loaiza was only here for a year and a half and he was pretty good for most of that. Contreras was solid for two years and I felt like he was more or less a victim of bad luck from 07-09.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:40 PM) But its not unprecedented, Humber also has had significantly less opportunity. Hes only pitched 111 innings, and 60 of those are this year. Quite possibly he could have done well had he been given the chance. Its not like we are talking hundreds of innings of bad results, hed only had 2 starts before this year. He was given the chance pitching against worse talent and he was pretty bad. I don't think it's a smart idea for this organization to put any good amount of confidence in Humber beyond this season.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:36 PM) Where did anyone say he was a sub 3 era pitcher? You made comparisons to players that failed, when you can just as easily point out guys who have gotten it before the turn 30. No reason to always look at the negative side, so I presented the positive side. Jose Contreras was pretty successful here in Chicago if you ask me. Loaiza too.

So Humber's outing turns from good to meh. Sigh...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) For years? No. I can't see that. He's basically on what Loaiza/Contreras were on. I don't think Humber is a guy that can do this for the next 5 years. But ride his ass as long as he's hot. He looks like a one year wonder to me too and I was actually semi-optimistic about him going into the season.

Humber's lucky he didn't give up more runs this inning.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 26, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) Played Heavy Rain for 10 hours straight until I beat the game. Amazing storyline. I nearly pulled an all-nighter trying to finish that game. It was such a good story.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 29, 2011 -> 11:04 AM) http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/sport...0,2337544.story I'm not at all surprised. You wonder how a piece of crap pitcher shuts everybody in the lineup down.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 28, 2011 -> 09:22 PM) the espn article says that Chicago would be Rips likely destination He better be coming off the bench. This team needs something more than an old Rip Hamilton.

OVA.

Who the hell is Luis Perez?

Alexei with a bad play. Here comes a Gavin mental melt down.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 28, 2011 -> 04:07 PM) We were also wrong about Dunn, Rios, Thornton, s***, this whole team for the most part. Is this real life?

Gavin...lol.

I doubt we'll see Santos come out for the next inning.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 28, 2011 -> 09:54 AM) He ain't gonna be slayin anything anytime soon. He'll be back in the game soon enough.

Mini-Ben Zobrist! Oh hai there Tmar.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 28, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) Put 4 fingers out then. That's what I would have done. But that'd look bad since you're walking the leadoff hitter intentionally.

On to the 13th we go...

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 28, 2011 -> 03:57 PM) Santos not even close. You don't want to be close when pitching to Bautista.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 28, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) I do not like Sale going 3 today. Just be glad it's not Tony Pena.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 28, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) Hawk and Stone are congratulating Pierror on getting the ball back in. I think they are really just congratulating him for not f***ing it up. Pierre's a damn mess on defense. His UZR's already a -8.

Just go after Rivera. Sale's too wild to possibly pitch to Hill with the bases juiced.

THIS IS WHY YOU WALK BAUTISTA!
