May 28, 200520 yr BMAC sent down That curve is sick. He just needs to work on keeping the ball down in the strikezone and throwing that change for a strike. If he could learn a cutter damn.
May 28, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(ReinsdorfSucks @ May 27, 2005 -> 10:59 PM) win now. but get some damn HITTING Gload should be recalled. He homered in his last game. Nice left handed bat. A guy who hits line drives. TIMO YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 28, 200520 yr They'll probably bring Gload up tomorrow. That means when Frank comes back in a few days, Timo will probably be cut. Then, when El Duque is activated Wednesday, a pitcher will be sent down or cut. Maybe Walker, though he may be picked up by another team if he's waived. Left handed pitchers are in short supply. Maybe option Cotts to pitch more regularly in AAA and get stretched out and learn another pitch?
May 28, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ May 27, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) Who's taking his place in the rotation? Is Duke ready to go already? I would say El Duque is ready to go. He was at 95 percent in his last throwing session.
May 28, 200520 yr I'd drop Timo just because his name is close to Tito - as in Landrum. Oh, and he sucks ass.
May 28, 200520 yr QUOTE(ReinsdorfSucks @ May 28, 2005 -> 12:03 AM) or learn where the strike zone is... That would help!
May 28, 200520 yr Author Gload is hitting .368 in his rehab. He went 2 for 4 in his last start with a dong. That sounds like heaven compared to the hell thats been our offense. Frank coming back soon hopefully will be the shot in the arm this team needs.
May 28, 200520 yr Once Choad is back it's time to play him at 1st base and DH Konerko, at least until Frank is back. Edited May 28, 200520 yr by Jabroni
May 28, 200520 yr http://rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/p...ort=MLB&id=8538 Latest News May. 28, 2005 - 1:09 am et White Sox optioned RHP Brandon McCarthy to Triple-A Charlotte. A replacement wasn't immediately announced, but Ross Gload could be the choice. McCarthy won't be brought back until another starting pitcher is needed.

May 28, 200520 yr Yeah, Timo gawn. It's ashame, because he could be decent if he got more playing time, but as his role is now, he's just utterly useless. And personally, I need to see Frank get his average above .270 in AAA before I start thinking about bringing him back. The shot in the arm he'd give us right now would be the kind of shot in the arm Mark Prior took today....ZING!!!! Personally, if Gload came back and hit fifth I wouldn't complain. He couldn't be any worse than anyone else who has occupied that spot. Oh, and that banner on this site -- I don't think it's BMac's time.

No bat, crappy base-running, and shoddy defense -- he has more than earned his release. Edited May 28, 200520 yr by Jabroni

I'm so sick of watching Crazy Carl swing through pitches down the middle. Although I'm not as big of a Gload fan as others on this board, he's got a knack for making contact with the ball and that is just what the doctor ordered for this offense. Not to mention that he's damn good defensively as well.

May 28, 200520 yr That means he's on pace to get 200 more AB's this season than he should. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Once we get Gload back, if Ozzie continues to use Timo over Gload I will puke. I'd rather see Gload playing CF than OMIT TIMO.

May 28, 200520 yr This is a rare time in which I agree with you <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Someone needs to use fathom's phrase and bring "OMIT TIMO!" signs to the next homestand. Maybe Kenny will get the point and cut his worthless hide once Frank is healthy.
