I agree with your thoughts and its only fair that Guillen gets some props for showing faith in the guy who is known to thrive in those spots, right?

 

I could see both sides of it. Gut says A.J., numbers say Toby. I think he was kinda in a win/win there, although I admit I was wrong because I probably put Toby in.

 

Except for yesterday and the day before, of course.

 

Yep. If Thornton is used properly, we win this series if not sweep it.

Except for yesterday and the day before, of course.

 

Yeah. I don't know what was going on there but he usually saves Thornton to set up the later innings not in middle relief

Joe Crede doesn't have many games in a Sox uniform left

 

Today's incident makes me even more angry he wasn't traded at peak value this offseason than I had been all season. He's injury prone and a below average hitter, and we could have got a kings ransom for last years career year. Ugh.

Wrigley is great.

 

Cubs losing+beer cut off = empty stadium

Joe West just missed ball 4

Wrigley is great.

Yep.

The beer's not cut off at any of the countless bars near the park, so awaaaaaay they go.

Can't blame 'em today - it's a little cool out there and the Cubs are throwing a stinker at them.

BTW, if you want the worst throw ever, it happened earlier this year. It was a pitch by a guy on the Washington Nationals against the Marlins in Florida during April. I can't even remember if the pitcher was lefty or right, but his pitch went directly sideways, and landed in the 1st row above the 1st base dugout. That one can't be topped.

Jenks should get the 9th.

David attempting to continue where he left off

Keep pumping those 91 mph fastballs down the middle.

Aardsma has to pitch inside. Especially on a cold day.

Jenks should get the 9th.

 

He will

Jenks should get the 9th.

 

Logan should get the mopup ninth.

Any chance Massett becomes a starter this season? Out all of his outings this season, his best ones came as a starter. Well, today and the time he came in early for Buehrle.

Logan should get the mopup ninth.

Jenks hasn't pitched since Wednesday.

Logan should get the mopup ninth.

 

Ozzie will want to get Jenks some work. Let's hope it's not a save situation.

Get Aardsma out. Now. Please.

We're up f***ing 8 runs Aardsma

Ozzie will want to get Jenks some work. Let's hope it's not a save situation.

 

Oh. I didn't know it'd been that long for Jenks.

Even so, he's not going to be better than anyone in our rotation right now.

I guarantee AArdsma didn't understand a f***ing thing ozzie said

Logan should get the mopup ninth.

The way Aardsma's pitching, it's not going to be a mop-up

Who's spot is he taking?

I don't know. But if a trade were to occur with someone like Contreras in it, Massett would look good taking his place.

Very nice pitch there.

Amazing what happens when you throw something other than a fastball, isn't it David?
