If you do....give him one he won't forget.

Jerry Narrons report card is very mixed for me... Collins....A Grandal...D Mercedes...W

"We brought in Tony because his experience will"...then all I will hear is the Charlie Brown teacher voice wha wha wha wha Eloy wha wha....crap I missed something..... Soxtalk.com

Lynn will bite the hand that once fed him tonight and get us back on track.

Agree with everything you said there.

When is the Country Joe Bobble Belly Doll game....I may have missed that promotion announcement.

We, like all teams, have had to live through our share of bad bullpens in the past. The tough thing this year is all the talk preseason that this would be the best bullpen in the league. Bullpens for the most part are a crapshoot. Like it was said earlier, thank goodness our starting staff has been so good so far. Probably will need to bolster the pen through trade.

Who would have thought a couple of years ago that we would be clamoring for his return during our contention window?

I thought so....great research that corroborated what many Sox fans felt about him, especially late in games.

I have heard announcers say that umpires will rely on the sound of it hitting the glove while they watch the bag so I would think that would mean the pop when it hits the back of the glove.

To be fair, dont you have inside knowledge of the clutchness (apologize if that is not a word) of one Joe Crede based on some # crunching of your own?

Once again, why are we arguing about Vaughn on a day where he hit a pinch hit home run off Aroldis Chapman? I don't get that.

I understand the frustration, but is this really the day to get on Vaughn when he comes in cold and hits a home run off of possibly the best closer in baseball?

Getting swept sucks, no doubt. I'm just trying to find a silver lining. We have been looking for this team to hit more home runs and they hit 3 today. Hopefully that continues and scoring returns.

What ultimatum do you mean? It's very possible in the fictional situation where Rick went to Uncle Jerry and said it is him or me, Reinsdorf would just name LaRussa GM and Field Manager.

You didnt mention the guy easily stealing 2nd off Bummer...that changed the inning and it is a real problem if people can run at will off your set up guy.

It seems like more than not when he brings a bullpen guy out for a 2nd inning it does not work (unless their name is Kopech) but it is the pitchers who have not gotten it done. Like you said, they have not been the same since last season's meltdown. Strange to say, but they really miss Cordero.

Another looming problem is how easily they stole a bag off Bummer...scouts I'm sure are taking note of that...completely changed the inning

Was it Bummer who said before the season that this bullpen would be like 90-0 with a lead after the 7th or some such bullshit? Karma is a b****.

Take a gander at the TLR thread...I'm sure he will not be getting a pass on this one.

It really is unbelievable...he has no feel for this bullpen.

Not even fucking close on 5 pitches.

Stone sounds kinda tired of this bullpen bs.

All unearned runs so far? Who had the miscues?

Why didnt they show a replay?
