July 25, 200421 yr They have no place in this bullpen. They've had their chances..it's time for a change. Jackson is washed up and Cotts is not a big league pitcher (unless he finds some control..he never will be).
July 25, 200421 yr I got home and asked my bro what the score was and he goes... "Let's just say Jackson and Cotts aren't a good combo."
July 25, 200421 yr Author They are both a year away. Jackson is a year away from what? retirement? Cotts is the same pitcher he was when he made his major league debut. Cotts was wild in the minors..and now he's wild in the majors.
July 26, 200421 yr Author I hope Mike Jackson is released by tomorrow....there's no reason for him to be in the bullpen.
July 26, 200421 yr i gotta agree.... Cotts does not belong in the majors right now.. he should be in AAA learning to be a starter.. Jackson?... yisa
July 26, 200421 yr I hope Mike Jackson is released by tomorrow....there's no reason for him to be in the bullpen. I was hoping he would be released during the post game show... :puke
July 26, 200421 yr I agree with you on jackson...cotts no. Jackson is just downright awful, he has no place on a MLB roster. Cotts needs to get some more experience, he should be the mop up guy.

July 26, 200421 yr :banghead Paging Kelly Wunsh we need you fast... :fyou JACKSON :fyou COTTS Kelly Wunsch is done........ He is off the 40-man roster.... Teams don't just outright a guy to AAA and risk losing him on waivers if they plan to use him again. For Kelly to return, he will have to pitch lights out in Charlotte for awhile and that may not be enough. Sox fans need to stop pinning their hopes on Wunsch. He ain't coming back.
July 26, 200421 yr Jackson is a joke. He needs to be released -- yesterday. second worst pitcher in the majors in letting inherited runners score.
July 26, 200421 yr jackson is like this year's paniagua, and he should be released just like him. i'm out
July 26, 200421 yr I'm sorry Ms. Jackson I am for real Never meant to make your daughter cry I apologize a trillion times
July 26, 200421 yr Kelly Wunsch is done........ He is off the 40-man roster.... Teams don't just outright a guy to AAA and risk losing him on waivers if they plan to use him again. For Kelly to return, he will have to pitch lights out in Charlotte for awhile and that may not be enough. Sox fans need to stop pinning their hopes on Wunsch. He ain't coming back. Anyone know if Kelly has gotten back any of his velocity?
July 26, 200421 yr "A tough situation," Jackson said. "I had to throw a strike. He hit it out of the ballpark. I tip my cap to him." How about tipping your ass out of this team?
July 26, 200421 yr "A tough situation," Jackson said. "I had to throw a strike. He hit it out of the ballpark. I tip my cap to him." His frickin' hat is bent down to his jock because he has had to tip his cap all season. Go tip your cap somewhere else, assclown.
July 26, 200421 yr His frickin' hat is bent down to his jock because he has had to tip his cap all season. Go tip your cap somewhere else, assclown. Or here is a crazy suggestion... don't get to a count where you have to throw a strike with the bases loaded!!!
July 26, 200421 yr How is this more about Jackson than Cotts. In a close game, two walks a hit and an HBP are not the makings of a good reliever.
July 26, 200421 yr Cotts is young, left-handed and at least has a chance to become a productive pitcher (he should be in AAA getting more innings. Dude has barely pitched in AAA his entire career). Jackson is finished. Done. Through. Over. He's old. And he throws a CheeseWiz 83 MPH slider that hangs half the time. He ain't got it -- and it ain't coming back. That's the difference. GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 26, 200421 yr Or here is a crazy suggestion... don't get to a count where you have to throw a strike with the bases loaded!!! Exactly. I uttered "crap" twice before the pitch was even delivered. Then when it was hit, i just shook my head. It wasn't a big surprise.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You posted this before I could get to it - Cotts is young and still develeoping and things happen and he will get better. Jackson is washed up and on the down side of his career.
July 26, 200421 yr I think the whole "starting thing" back to Minny a couple of months ago has really jacked with Neal. He was pitching lights out before the dreaded "fifth starter" fiasco. That hurt him bad. That said, he'll be back...
