GTFO THIS THREAD IS STILL LIVING???

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 09:56 AM) We went hard after Putz. He chased the money and a place that was closer to home. We were never going to get him. i don't think this is a legitimate point to harp on. And Jenks.... Jenks just sucks. I'd like to have Pootz back but no no no way for Bobby Jenks. He wore out his welcome here. People on this board would have gone ape s*** on K. Williams for bringing back Jenks the minute he blew a save here. I'm not worried about the bullpen situation - yet. Hopefully they'll get it figured out. I just don't know if it'll be Thornton.

I have a bad feeling about this game. Haren is insanely good.

I don't think it's ever cool to call a caller an idiot on the radio. It belittles the host and brings him down to the caller's level. That is one of the reasons that I can stand Bernstein. Rongey could have simply hung up on the caller and moved on to the next caller. He has that power. The other guys that fire back at Soxfest don't.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 14, 2011 -> 08:09 AM) Giving Santos an opportunity should be easy to do at this point. Ozzie can spin it in a way that won't be devastating to Thornton's psyche. He can simply say that "Santos has earned a shot at it, by having gone unscored upon all Spring and thus far in the season." It should be more about Santos earning a promotion, than Thornton and the others getting demoted. Of course, who knows if he'll be any better. "Geees", I hope so. A good way to spin it is to put Thornton on the shelf with an "injury" while Santos closes, then have MT return to his old setup role when he comes back.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 06:01 PM) Pretty much exactly how I feel, but I'd like to think that Kenny might be shopping around for bullpen help too. Eh... I doubt if he's looking this early. Remember last year when the Sox got off to a bad start, he was the voice of reason telling everyone to 'calm down... it's way too early in the season'..

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 05:51 PM) Chet is listening to B&B. They used Linebrink goo left over. Bernstein is a douche but those two idiots crack me up.

Scott Linebrink infected the bullpen with his Linestink cooties before he left.

I JOKINGLY used the term "idiot" once when I first got here, and I got a nice lil vacation. You guys might get hit with the banstick. If I were you, I'd quickly make up and delete the incriminating evidence before a mod sees it

I think this loss is going to put a few people here in the penalty box here on soxtalk...

I'm listening on the radio and the stadium sounds EMPTY. I guess fans there have had enough of this s***.

Kenny Williams just punched something.

Okay for real now... is Thornton hurt or something?

soxtalk.com about to go into full meltdown mode in 3... 2... 1...

Don Cooper is going to commit murder at Coop at the Cork. Maybe it'll be Rongey.

Turn a triple play, then let's go have a f***ing snack...

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 03:36 PM) Bobby must be chuckled his lard ass off somewhere right now. Our bullpen is just comical. I can only laugh now when I see this meltdown day in and day out. Yeah until his fat ass looked at his team's 2-9 record... Oh for f***s sake how about a 1-2-3 for a change??

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 03:22 PM) Who is the best call for the 9th??? You gotta let Matty Ice get in and get a 1-2-3 to calm the masses (and himself) down.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) And the Twins are getting pummeled. Dude that avatar is so full of win it's not even funny.

Damn I love walk off blasts like last night.

TCQ about to get medieval on them b****es tonight. He's due.

Santos sure is looking like a closer. A FILTHY closer at that. So much bad ass-ery.

Eh... Oh well.. TRU can bring it and I'll be counting down the days until Taraji goes back up. More importantly, the Sox get to keep Milledge and he gets some ABs and time in the field to improve. I think if the guy can put it all together, he can be a valuable asset to the Sox.
