Sweet, hit the #9 hitter to bring up Kinsler. Hawk is definitely the MVP of this game.

Can Jose be traded back to Cuba for prospects?

Jose really has no idea where the ball is going when it leaves his hand.

 

Coop on the phone.

 

Great play by Josh.

Wow, Rangers are just taking it to the Sox.

Sounds like I'm missing good Hawk, what a rarity! Can anyone post up some of his sold quotes from today?

This is it for Jose, we may never see him pitch again in the bigs depending on what they do with him but this is his last start for the White Sox.

2 out double by Omar to make it 5-0. Booing is extremely loud. Send him to the glue factory now! That needs to be the last pitch thrown in his Sox career.

Thanks for that run in 05/06 Contreras, but at this point, you're doing us more harm than good. Enjoy that seat down in the bullpen.

Ozzie pulls him. Thanks for 2005 and first half of 2006 Contreras, but you're absolutely, positively finished.

Sucks to see Jose get booed after all he's done for us.....Hawk's right about how sad it is.....but we gotta win games.

 

 

Pretty classless move by our fans booing him.

Get Jose out...

 

Give him a bus pass...

 

Change the locks....

 

 

Definitely the worst contract Kenny Williams ever gave out, he got absolutely nothing for his money.

If you don't want him to get boo'd by the fans, then don't pitch him tonight!! It's that simple, what was Ozzie expecting if he did bad? You could have easily skipped him tonight and pitched him next week in Toronto. The Rangers have now scored 12 runs in Jose's last 5 innings against them.

seems a little harsh for a guy who's done so much for the organization, a guy who busted his ass to be part of this team from day one. i'm not saying i want to see him pitch again, i'm just not ready to ride him out on a rail.

Would've been a standing ovation if I were in attendance. He's just a shell form of his former self, this is quite possibly the last time he'll ever take the mound for the Sox, he deserves to go out with applause.

So in other news, looking outside, I might die tonight:

Completely agree, there was no reason at all to pitch him tonight at home unless Ozzie wants him to fail so he can remove him from the lineup as fast as possible

Honest question...are you watchng these games? It's rather obvious he has nothing left in the tank. 91 mph fastballs with no control and a mediocre slider just isn't going to get it done. Maybe make him a righty specialist on the pen?

Since moving to New York I constantly forget just how flat the midwest is.

Yeah, that's not good. Let's hope Dontrelle sucks when he comes back.

were a little harsh? seeing same crap since 2007 has been well more than enough. Why you think macdougal got good ride back here... sign guy for 3 mil and stuck with 10 mil contract... ozzie just needs tell kenniy eat the money cause hes no good here

I'm watching, and I agree with you, he doesn't belong out there. He's done. I'm just saying I hate to see him being reviled by fans like he's the pitching version of dweezy. He's been a stud for this club, just not in a long time. Blame williams, ozzie, coop...but not him.
