Thorton hasn't exactly been lights out lately either. Noone in our bullpen has been. Even if Thorton gets you out of the 8th unscathed you would probably have to bring in Jenks or Liney in the 9th and then what? You complain Ozzie didn't save Thorton?

 

You play to get through the 8th and score in the top of the 9th. Go back and look before the inning, I wanted Thornton in the game to start the 8th.

They are currently middle of the road in the AL if you look at ERA.

 

Yet most observers think it's a real strength. Middle of the road = not a strength.

 

 

Hell this keeps up we will be 4 back in no time....

 

You see our schedule next week? Scary!

we are looking like we are in last place in the AL Central and making detroit look like the Defending world series champs this is HORRIBLE

What the f*** is with these outside strike calls for Rodney? Jesus.

You see our schedule next week? Scary!

I know we could be well out of this right b4 the trade deadline....

from a great day to be a sox fan to this...

What a pathetic couple games.... absolutely pathetic!!

We have not had a hit since the 3rd inning. This offense needs to get its head out of its ass soon, because with our schedule over the next 2 weeks we could go from 2 back, to 8 back in a hurry. Wake the f*** up.

 

 

We deserved to lose that.

 

Really, with the pitchers we had going, the pitching wasn't responsible for these losses.

Awesome...terrible hitting, terrible relieving, terrible managing. Got to split the next two, or the season could be in jeopardy. With our remaining schedule, 4 down is going to be hard to make up when they have Verlander and Jackson starting 40% of their games.

 

What an encore for Mark's perfect game.

I know we could be well out of this right b4 the trade deadline....

 

So let's just pray KW sell the farm for a sinking ship. In no way am I saying it's sinking, but danger zone could be upon us. BTW, Dan Hudson should be untouchable.

Can't say I'm shocked with today. I kind of was expecting this team to come out flat all day after yesterday's theatrics. Let's get 'em tomorrow.

well your going to hear the typical ozzie speech after the media criticizes him and he'll say i dont give a f*** and all that nonsense we have played horrible fell flat on our faces this double header and its not looking good

it started early when Ozzie decided to give an out up with the Beckham/Wise hit and run, an under 50% base stealer and a non-contact hitter, terrible.

 

Pitching did OK today, this sweep is on the offense IMO

Well, hopefully they got their money's worth during last night's celebration...

I don't know... if he could get Haren some how some way......

And you were probably complaining when Ozzie left Colon in the 7th. Some times it works out sometimes it doesn't. What do you expect Ozzie to do? Never pitch Linebrink ever again in a close game? In case you didn't realize Thorton walked in a run with the bases loaded. In the one situation where he need to throw a strike he didn't do it. There's no guarantee he gets out of the 8th scoreless. You lost this game because you couldn't execute with runners in scoring position. Not because Ozzie put Linebrink in to start the 8th.

No you will get the, Bonine is a major league pitcher. His stuff was moving crazy. Tip your hat to a performance like that. Its hard to win when you face such a wonderful team. etc etc.

I agree this sweep was on the offense, but Ozzie should give DJ or Pena a chance at the 2nd RHer out of the pen at this point, they really can't be anyworse

3 losses for Linebrink vs the Tigers this year. Obviously, he's not a good match-up.

And I'm glad we didn't bother substituting Getz for Quentin in the 9th.

 

No, we wouldn't want him to get on his feet for one AB and possibly several more innings in the outfield.

I know he needed to be traded, but the Javy Vazquez trade hasn't worked out for the 2009 White Sox. KW better pray that Flowers pans out, or that is going to go down as a terrible trade. Javy could get the Braves a fortune if they traded him now.

And I'm glad we didn't both substituting Getz for Quentin in the 9th.

 

No, we wouldn't want him to get on his feet.

 

Want to get pissed off? Quentin was healthy enough to play in a double header last week, but not healthy enough to play in a double header today. At least Wise got his ABs.
