August 28, 200916 yr Author 670 is kind of teasing this right now on the radio so he'll go in depth in a minute when he's on(Cowley) Theyre making it sound like it's Jose for sure.
August 28, 200916 yr Contreras should be starting Saturday now that Peavy can't go. Otherwise the Sox have to cut/DL somebody to make room for the spot starter. Since they haven't used Jose out of the bullpen, they might as well start him Saturday.
August 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 05:37 PM) This will probably be his last start in a White Sox uniform. How many times have we heard that?
August 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 04:39 PM) How many times have we heard that? Too many. My idea before was to boycott any more games started by Contreras by not showing up to the game. Since this is an away game, that kind of throws a wrench in the works. I suggest people do not tune into the game en masse.
August 28, 200916 yr Author the update also mentioned that Colon is AWOL again. Can the Sox fine him in order to recoup some of that salary? What the hell?
August 28, 200916 yr Give the old man a shot to rise from the dead, redemption. It could be a great story, one they'll make a movie about one day......I'm in.
August 28, 200916 yr I'd probably lean towards Carrasco at this point, with Jose in long-relief duty.
August 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (WCSox @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 05:48 PM) I'd probably lean towards Carrasco at this point, with Jose in long-relief duty. The weather is supposed to be bad in NY. If there are delays, Carrasco might have to get some innings tonight.

August 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (WCSox @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 05:02 PM) Good point. Is Torres available, or was he sent back down? Both Torres and Hudson are supposed to be on schedule and available to pitch for the Sox on Saturday. It doesn't sound like they really want to do that though.

Because of that roster expansion, I think DL-ing Lillibridge would make sense ...PR is his best attribute and that can be replaced with a call-up. Granted I dont know when Hudson's last start was.......but just on a theoretical level, dont you start Hudson against the Yanks and just pray --hey it's a live arm with control, assume you have a fighting chance seeing as how they've never seen him before... at least enough to get you through 5 to get to Carrasco? I wouldnt say this if Jose hadnt been so consistently bad besides the KC start.

I wouldnt say this if Jose hadnt been so consistently bad besides the KC start. Hudson has been throwing A LOT of pitches lately as he adjusts to AAA. Starting him against the Yankees is not only a bad idea, it puts him in a position to fail, not succeed. I think Chisoxfn made a more eloquent expression of this in another thread.

August 29, 200916 yr QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 06:09 PM) f*** this. I'd much rather have DJ start. well since both would probly last about 3 innings, does it really matter? lol
August 29, 200916 yr IMO, tomorrow's game will probably get rained out anyways. It's suppose to be brutal in New York weather wise, unless they plan on starting much later. Edited August 29, 200916 yr by SoxAce
August 29, 200916 yr Contreras and pray for rain Jose is a proud guy and if he has anything left I would expect he will bring it all with him for this game, Another dismal start by the Count and he is all but history and maybe so are we Edited August 29, 200916 yr by elrockinMT
August 29, 200916 yr For some reason I feel very good about Jose manana. This will be the turning point of the season for the better. We're gonna get our confidence back and put on a nice streak. Balls to the wall, back to the playoffs. That or we'll get rained out and our season is done for.
August 29, 200916 yr QUOTE (CSF @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 10:57 PM) Ozzie said on the postgame show that Contreras is starting tomorrow.
August 29, 200916 yr Jose is a proud competitor, he's just not very good anymore, evidenced by his horrific record. Poor Jose.
