5 runs by the 6th off Baker? I would've taken it to start the game. Who knew Freddy would take a dump?

 

nice to see liney coming in and throwing strikes

Must be easy for Pena to throw 70 pitches every 3-4 games

 

He's throws batting practice.

Any of us can do that.

 

How is DJ Carrasco doing this year anyway?

Ozzie ought to find a way to throw Jenks for 2 innings today.

And give us false hope he's ready to assume the closer role again?

Let's just throw away the rest of the season as well as the game.

Get Bobby in there to drill a Twinkie in the back. Send a message.

Especially with what we just saw from JJ...this team is just flat out better if they could work Jenks into workable shape again.

break their f***ing hearts

"Haha, you might be able to play baseball, but we're mean!"

with the exception of you, of course

Yeah and the message is: I've been reduced to coming in and drilling one of you guys because I suck as a closer and can't do anything else.

Did I see Linebrink at 97 there? At the rate his fastball is going up, he'll be throwing 102 by the end of September.

I highly, highly doubt I was the only person that thought Garcia was a bad match-up vs the Twins tonight with this warm weather and Twins swinging the bats well.

ERA almost under 4

Unless he's just overly worn out, I don't know how any of those variables produces the performance we just saw...the sheer number of hanging breaking balls up around the hips...that doesn't seem like a logical outcome of warm weather to me.

Bah, he's been helped by the rest of the pen so much that you can't care about that number.

I'm simply thinking of trade value in the offseason.

They swung the bats pretty good the first three games of that series as well, but there's no denying that the Jenks game can be pointed to as the turning point of the season if the Twins win the division.

 

Disagree. The turning point of the season was among the following: (a) the Twins assembling a better lineup than the White Sox in those months traditionally known as "the off-seasoh"; (B) Jake Peavy getting hurt, which meant that a trade of Daniel Hudson was for pitching and not another hitter; and © the White Sox not adding another player to close the gap with the Twins lineup supremacy. At this point, the question -- and the only question -- is the same as it was in March: will the Twins pitching be good enough? Because Minnesota's starting lineup -- WITHOUT Morneau -- is superior to anything the White Sox have rolled out all year. It was that way on April 1st and it hasn't changed at all.

 

 

I really hope Beckham is ready to play tomorrow. The Legend of the Lillibomb is fading away.

The Freddy Garcia Experience is OVA!

 

It's a miracle Reinsdorf and company got away this long with this year's version of hoping to catch lighting in a bottle.

 

They need to grow up and start being major players in free agency.

I'm sick and tired of weakening one position to shore up another.

 

We should have a decent starter and at least one more bat BEFORE the season started.

 

They had Hudson ready to take Garcia's place if he struggled.

What the devil are you talking about? Garcia is our #5 starter, and he's already won ten games through two thirds of the season. What more do you expect from a #5 starter?

Best post of the night..

 

It's as funny as it is true.
