May 21, 200916 yr Out of all the KC rejects we've gotten over the years, I think this one is the cream of the crop. After todays wonderful outing (his 2nd lousy one out of only 3 appearances), the ERA is currently 18.90.....sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I could throw underhanded and do better than than this. Its time to fry this turkey or stuff his ass and stick him a 350 oven....one way or another, just get him out of town.
May 21, 200916 yr His role is as a situational lefthander, and if he's incapable of retiring Mauer (or anyone else) then he's useless. Time for his career to end.
May 21, 200916 yr yep...especially if richard and poreda are gone ...that second lefty out of the pen is likely to loom very large the entire year...maybe whisler will be the next guy we try?
May 21, 200916 yr just wanted to compliment the white sox on their performance today. It takes an all around team effort to get beat 20-1 by a division rival...to fall to 6.5 games out of 1st in May. Bravo. If I'm Jake Peavy I can't wait to get on a plane and play for this inspired group of talent.
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:46 PM) We really need to draft another Lefty. Even then, how long will it be before that lefthander helps out the team? What amazes me is that in the ENTIRE...f***ING...SYSTEM...there's not one situational lefthander? Honestly? Not one pitcher? That's just pathetic for us. Considering how good our A, AA pitching is, there has to be one.
May 21, 200916 yr 20 runs, well when you throw our 3 f***ing worst pitchers out there what do you expect. Granted Betemits error hurt but still. Gobble is not an MLB pitcher and Broadway I never liked to begin with, send these two rejects down. Blackburn roughs us up again like usual what a surprise.
May 21, 200916 yr Lots of blame to go around, if you are into the blame game thing.. which many of us are for sure. Hard not to be really upset and discouraged though after a game like this

May 21, 200916 yr For anyone that asks where Betemeit is...the two errors he made today are why he's never in the lineup. He's a f***ing butcher in the field.
May 22, 200916 yr so now that the peavy deal is off....are we gonna see Poreda take Gobbles spot soon? I would imagine so...even Hahn said he'd prefer to take it slow with him
May 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (daa84 @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:17 PM) so now that the peavy deal is off....are we gonna see Poreda take Gobbles spot soon? I would imagine so...even Hahn said he'd prefer to take it slow with him I could see Aaron up as a reliever in a David Price situation where he could help us win important games on the way to the playoffs, otherwise the Sox see his biggest value as a starter, and with the kid trying to learn extra pitches, he needs those innings and repetitions to do it. He won't get them in the Sox pen pitching 2-3 innings a week. Poreda's best value to the Sox is as a starter with two plus pitches and a third and maybe forth pitch, and not as a reliever with a plus pitch and a second solid pitch. Think of Aaron right now as being a Matt Thornton at best today, but a guy with a #2 starter type ceiling if you give him 200-300 more innings of experience.

That's why I say just stick Nix over there for a week or so and see what happens. Josh is absolutely clueless right now...and he looks wound tighter than a drum. Bet....meh. Go with Nix already.

Nix is nothing special with the bat in the slightest, realistically of course.
May 23, 200916 yr I've been out of town. Did Sox release Gobble yet? It says a lot of negative things about our franchise that we continue to go to Royals rejects. It's embarrassing.
