August 30, 200421 yr From rotoworld: Freddy Garcia will miss his second straight start Wednesday because of tightness in his right forearm. The White Sox had been saying that Garcia was fine, but that's obviously not the case. It might be that the right-hander won't contribute over the remainder of the season. The White Sox now plan to start Jason Grilli on Wednesday instead of Tuesday. That could mean they'll call up another pitcher tomorrow. Aug. 30 - 2:59 pm et Might as well shut him down. The season's over. Now let's cheer on dem Padres!!!
August 30, 200421 yr agreed, shut him down... Diaz is eligible to come back up... I wanna see Diaz start the rest of the season. I'm starting to belive that if KW does get another pitcher in the offseason JG will be shown the door. That will require someone to step up.
August 30, 200421 yr Uh oh, this means I get to see another 5th starter when I go to USCF on Wednesday. Oh joy oh joy. I'm going Friday, too, how many 5th starters do the Sox have? Can I possibly maybe see a decent pitcher on Friday night? Contreras, maybe? Please?
August 30, 200421 yr Did I mention I do not believe one stinkin' word coming from this organization? That's right, I did.

Give his spot to Diaz as a preview for next year maybe. At this point, there's not much to lose by doing so
August 30, 200421 yr Did I mention I do not believe one stinkin' word coming from this organization? That's right, I did. This seems to be epidemic across the board in sports, though. Every time someone gets injured, EVERY organization goes into damage control, understating the severity of the injury. "Our trainers were able to re-attach Tommy's arm in the clubhouse and we expect him to make his next start, as long as normal blood flow is reinstated before his side day and no gangrine sets in..."
August 30, 200421 yr Felix deserves to start the rest of the year, in fact I would venture to say even if Freddy comes back that we go with a 6-man rotation. Buerhle, Garcia, Contreras, Garland, Diaz and Grilli. There is no sense in hurting any of their arms because there is no chance for the postseason for us. Just let Freddy take his time and let Felix get 6 Major League starts in a row.
August 30, 200421 yr shut down Freddy -- and back off on Buehrle. He's pitched wayyyyy too many innings for a team that is going nowhere. back off on the dude. NOW
August 30, 200421 yr Like everyone’s been saying.... SHUT HIM DOWN. Though I have a feeling we’ll still see him pitch this year. :headshake That is if he does recover before this season is officially over.
August 30, 200421 yr Few questions: What does X-Ray say? What does bone scan say? What does MRI say? I propose mandatory MRIs for all pitchers on the last day of the season, 2 weeks before spring training and then again at the All-Satr break. No injury hiding.
August 31, 200421 yr Yep, don't risk anymore injuries on him, just SHUT HIM DOWN and get ready for next year.
August 31, 200421 yr I propose mandatory MRIs for all pitchers on the last day of the season, 2 weeks before spring training and then again at the All-Satr break. No injury hiding. Hey, MRIs and scans ain't zaktli cheap. JR will not stand for such folly, you hear!
August 31, 200421 yr Hey, MRIs and scans ain't zaktli cheap. JR will not stand for such folly, you hear! Neither are pitchers with multiyear multimillion dollar contracts. It would be worth his investment to have an MRI machine installed at the Cell and also have someone there that actually knows how to read the results.
August 31, 200421 yr Neither are pitchers with multiyear multimillion dollar contracts. It would be woth his investment to have an MRI machine installed at the Cell and also have someone there that actually knows how to read the results. ahhhh good ol yas
