I don't think he's an asshole at all, in the way that someone like Milton Bradley is. I think he's just wild, and our clubhouse led by Konerko, Thome, and Dye didn't like it.

There was clearly more going on than that.

Well, yes and then he was upset he got benched at the end of the year. I was hoping they would be able to work it out and have him return last year, but obviously we got rid of him at the first chance we could.

2-5 with a HR, a 3B, and 6 RBIs... hell of an MLB debut for Starlin Castro.

f*** that guy and that team.

If we go to the 12th, do you go to Santos or Putz?

 

What are the odds that Thornton makes it through the entire season without being shut down or DL'ed?

Get Buck here please. I'll be happy we're done with him after Sunday...freakin' annoying Sox killer.

Judging by how he reacted to getting benched, he sure sounds like one to me. he sure thought he was more important than the team, that's for sure.

MFT...

Thornton is just amazing.

Wow, that was impressive. Lewis with some funny swings tonight.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is your real closer, if only he'd get a chance.

Thornton is just amazing.

 

He really is, even with some struggles, I trust him more than anyone on this roster.

Might be close to Thornton as the closer....a couple of more Jenks stumbles.

For real.

Thornton K's 5 in 6 ABs. So glad we didn't bring him in for the 9th.

Mmmm, someone is grilling outside. Who's grilling here at 10:50 p.m.?

Thornton can't close until you get another guy can do his job as well as he does on this ballclub.

If you just mean a reliever, I trust Santos/Putz. If you mean a lefty....then no, we don't have a replacement.

 

But either way...

Santos and Putz.

Against LH hitters?

Well if Thornton was the closer, he would have pitched the 9th and the game would be over

Well we do have Randy.. oh hell I can't even say it....

So is it Randy's inning next? I bet it is.

You know the sad thing? We'd probably see Thornton a lot less if he was the closer right now. Especially when you factor in how many leads we'd be blowing.

Santos and Putz.

Santo is going to have innings restrictions placed on him all year. Putz is being monitored for his health. And we literally have no other LHP's worth a damn in the entire system. It's a no go.
