QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) And you can throw in all of the fire jobs that Hawkins did as well. For as bad as Hawkins was in those games, he was one of the better Cub Relievers in terms of ERA.

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) Ozuna? LMAO.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:32 AM) No, but the set of relievers as a whole. If you haven't noticed, the Cubs bullpen has been lights out lately. Our bullpen continues to blow game after game. Hermanson has been great of course....yet Ozzie doesn't use him. Lately, don't forget the season as a whole now. Michael Wuertz - 4.01 ERA Mike Remlinger - 4.97 ERA Ryan Dempster - 4.95 ERA As a WHOLE, Cubs relievers have won 11 games and lost 14.

2 HR's in the last 2 games.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) Right now, the Cubs. So you'd rather have the likes of Joe Borowski and Ryan Dempster over Dustin Hermanson and Cliff Politte?

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) Ozzie likes the lefty-lefty stuff way to much. Especially when a lefty can't get a lefty out.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) Be careful, he might verbally attack you like he did to Jeff Brantley. It's getting to the point where I hate our manager on and off the field. I used to think I would never hate a manager more than Dusty....but Ozzie is about to pass him up. Would you rather have the Cubs bullpen or ours?

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:24 AM) We need, a Jesus smile for things like this. "I'm not really a praying man, but if you're out there, please save me Superman!!!"

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:22 AM) uhhh, Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie. Kevin Walker?! what are you thinking? he might as well have gone with marte since he isnt as rusty. Definately send down Walker on Friday. As for Vizcaino, send this useless guy down to the minors where he belongs! Bring up Adkins already. This bullpen is becoming more and more like the cubs pen with the exceptions of Politte and Hermy. This is disturbing seeing as we will be depending on the bullpen to keep us in the game this season. :headshake Jon Adkins - 2-4 6.93 ERA Jeff Bajenaru - 1-1, 1.05 ERA, 2 HR's in 24 games

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) Timo k's yesssssssssssssssss. Go home. Says it all really.

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) your right. i can see giving pitchers work in other games. but why tonight ozzie? Because of JC's pitch count.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) I wonder what Baines, Coop, and company say when Ozzie brings in Walker to a one-run game. They're blocked out by the expletives.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) Why am I not so thrilled with Bogusevic? In 2003 and 2004, he posted WHIP's of 1.46 and 1.37, with a K/9 under seven. His ERA, while alright, wasn't spectacular by any means either -- 3.41 and 4.19. This year, he's obviously doing a lot better, but it's still not someone who jumps out at me as a guy I want at #15. Then again, I'm not a genius on the subject of draft prospects, either. I'll be honest -- straight fastball or not, I have my heart set on Wade Townsend somehow falling to #15. If the D-Rays pass on him at #8, maybe, just maybe he could fall to us at #15.

Time to bump that Lefty LOOGY thread, and get Ron Villione on the phone.

Well so much for that Walker has an 0.00 ERA argument.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 10:45 AM) I don't much care for Randa, but I would agree with that. I would much rather see the Sox make a deal for Randa vs Castilla. And Cincinatti will actually be more inclined to do a deal since they have a top prospect in Edwin Encarnacion waiting in the wings.

I thought Chisoxygirl became Soxnbears01 for a second.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:02 AM) Well, take Kevin Walker off the list of guys that should be in Neal Cotts' place... Haha. For those calling for Cotts to be sent down....................

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 10:59 AM) Lead-off walk.......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Let the b****ing on the leadoff walk effect commence.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) Oh sweet Jesus. :banghead With the Angels top of the lineup. If Cotts didn't pitch yesterday, it probably would have been his job instead.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 10:56 AM) I just can't seem to shake you eh?? :banghead Bout time I scored one, I've been on a scoreless streak for quite a while now.

I'd be very, very happy with Bogusevic as well. Let's hope it ends up that well. I'd definitely prefer him over someone like Carillo.

Carl is my PTC. Thank you very, very much.
