June 25, 200322 yr JM is really rolling the dice, but you got to have a closer, right? If Botch blows this one, we should release him.
June 25, 200322 yr ok who wants to bet.. first pitch fast ball down the middle for a homer Nope it is in the dirt...
June 25, 200322 yr oh hell. in the dirt.. another ball......and a gift strike.......wtf..............
June 25, 200322 yr ok who wants to bet.. first pitch fast ball down the middle for a homer How about a walk then a 90 mph fastball down the middle for the game-winning homer
June 25, 200322 yr whew... that was close...............we win.......... i can breathe now...........
June 25, 200322 yr Valentin and Jimenez must be benched tommorow: --Valentin with two dumb plays one of which led to his 4th defensive run of the season (he also had two good defensive plays at 2nd, but still...) --Jimeenz with one defensive f***up, but also getting doubled up at second and K-ing with runner at 3rd and 1 out... f***ers.

That means Rowand Harris and Graffy in the same line up? :puke
June 25, 200322 yr Jesus, you people sure have selective memory.....talk about how bad Koch is, hes gonna blow it, look, he threw the first pitch in the dirt.....hmm...thats 11 out of 13 save opportunities. It was the right move for JM, the righty power hitter was up, u go to your righty power closer. He's the damn closer, thats his job, put him in when times are tight. No one mentions how s***ty Maggs has been, or how DJ is not doing the only thing he WAS previously doing, hitting. There are bigger problems on this team then at closer.

That means Rowand Harris and Graffy in the same line up? :puke Ok, at least ONE of them should be benched. Since it was Jose's 2nd error in 30 games and since he made two good plays to make up for it earlier I'd be willing to make it Jimenez...lol But serisouly, message shoudl be sent and BOTH of them should be sat.

June 25, 200322 yr well i think we covered the dj thing in full.. and manos, paulies lack of hitting... maggs hasnt done much wrong lately.....botch though.. geez us .. look at what foulke is doing in oaktown and then tell me again how great botch is.........we lost out on that deal.. hands down.......... I dont know about that. Cotts is doing one hell of a job. But we are on the hook for 14 mill to botch...
June 25, 200322 yr I dont know about that. Cotts is doing one hell of a job. But we are on the hook for 14 mill to botch... cotts is not up here helping out the team ...... untill that day comes he has not paid off yet.........botch on the other hand cost us......not only games but money as well... hes just not worth what we gave up..........
June 25, 200322 yr I seem to remember TONS of people last year pissing and moaning about how Foulke wasnt getting it done at the start of the season. Chalk that up to management, as he should have been left in the closers role REGARDLESS of the situation, much like Koch is now. ON paper, the deal looked good, and we got rid of catcher dead-weight, and got a pretty good pitching prospect in return. I'll do that deal anyday I am approached about it. Foulke was up for arbitration this year, and good ole JR wasnt gonna fork out what he wanted to stay in Chicago.
