Sox seem the only team KC can come back against.

I hate when Ozzie does this bulls***...

 

You guys are hilarious! It's so obvious that Jenks did not have anything tonight. His straight fastballs are easy to hit at 93MPH. Stop blaming Ozzie!

Thornton, who walks the world, starting the 9th inning was ridiculous.  Righty closers can face lefties, Ozzie.

 

 

I don't know, at that point in the season, Aaron Guiel was hitting .333

 

,... that's 1 hit 3 major league appearances this season...

 

Awlful decision...

GAME

Jenks was just as bad, Thornton blew them away in the 8th.

 

BTW did I mention Boone Logan needs to go down to the minors.

 

This game is over.

Ball game.

 

GOOD JOB SOX

ITS THE MOTHER f***ING ROYALS AT HOME

oh no... here comes politte...

What do you mean don't blame Ozzie? You put your closer in the 9th. Not your set-up man. I'm sick of this lefty v lefty matchup bulls*** in the 9th. In a one run game in the 9th inning, you give the ball to your f***ing closer. It's his game to win or lose.

 

YOU GIVE THE BALL TO YOUR CLOSER.

 

The end.

You are exactly right. The pitchers did not execute. Nothing wrong with the matchups. Real easy to blame the manager.

Logan time has come, get J.Nelson ready and call him up.

It's time to say it and it's not just because of tonight:

 

THIS BULLPEN BLOWS ASS!

 

Has to be one of the worst in the AL.

Well, this is the kind of game where there is very little to be encouraged about. Garland giving up just 1 was good, though.

 

Gotta get some real relievers.

This bullpen is gonna be a pain in the ass all year

great... now we've used four relief pitchers to get through the ninth inning against one of the most offensively inept teams of all time.

Jenks was just as bad, Thornton blew them away in the 8th.

This game is over.

True, they all sucked tonight. I still don't like the way Ozzie micro-manages every inning. Your closer pitches the 9th unless he's been overused.

 

Jeff Nelson, your flight for Chicago is boarding.

He did, and the closer sucked ass.

 

My God, what is there to argue about, Thornton blew them away in the 8th, Jenks was the guy who gave up all the damage. Jenks sucked tonite.

You are exactly right.  The pitchers did not execute.  Nothing wrong with the matchups.  Real easy to blame the manager.

Bobby sucked tonight and he gets the most blame here but Ozzie has to stop dicking around in the 9th. He keeps bringing Bobby into real difficult situations created by others. No f***ing need for that.

Great idea to let Thornton start the 9th.

That's true, but I'd feel better about it if Jenks just got the ball at the start of the 9th.

 

Closers blow games, I didn't like the decision-making again tonight with the match-ups, I'm more pissed because this isn't the first time it has happened either.

They burn thru the bullpen the first game of the series. 4 walks.

 

I question the pitch calling. They are not pitching inside enough, nowhere near enough. Goddamnit, bust these guys inside. DJ has been right on with his commentary all nite long.

It's pretty sad that Jeff Nelson might end up being better than three of our current relievers -- Politte, Thornton, and Logan.

Inning over.

 

Royals bat around, Sox walk 4, go from up 1 to down 3. Against the incredible Royals lineup.

 

This bullpen is scary

Do you think you are smarter than Ozzie? Give me a f***ing break! Your baseball knowledge is NOTHING compared to Ozzie. Stop playing f***ING manager.

 

Bobby was called in with ONLY one man on first base. If he can not close the game, it's his f***ING fault. Don't blame anyone else. You are such a WHINER!

I haven't read through the Jenks inning here, but, it would appear people are blaming both Ozzie as well?

 

Get out of here.

 

Thornton was throwing gas in the 8th, he was left in to get the left-hander out and he couldn't do it. The ball was then given to the closer and he just blew the save, plain and simple. It happens. Luckily, this was his first blown save of the year. He clearly didn't have it, it happens.

 

Better luck tomorrow.

All we need to happen is for pods and guch to get on, followed by a thome blast, and then a konerko blast. Game over.
