That managing boggles the mind

 

No idea what Ventura's been thinking since the day before the ASB. Some decisions being made that are killing this team's chances to win games. Oh well, time to see if they can rebound against the Tigers. Oh, and Youk's hamstring better be bad in order to not use him as a PH there.

Another mental midget moment. Hopefully we won't see more of them this weekend..........but we probably will.

One day, managers will realize that you never put in Thornton in the 9th. One day

Escobar left 2 guys on in the 9th and blew a DP.............he has no business taking a roster spot.

Second q start that robin has blown in the ninth. I dont like the thornton decision. At all. Ugh.

f*** you Cody Ross.

Not Addison's fault at all. He was hung high and dry, never shoulda got to that point.

 

Somebody needs talk some sense into Robin, not sure if Parent or Coop have yet but this is ridiculous, honestly.

 

Can't wait to hear Rangers lame ass excuses for Robin

 

 

Damn...

 

Definitely on Robin. Momentum is a b****, could be a looooooooooong weekend

haha, me or Robin?

 

u mad bro?

What are you here for, if you're just going to be smug?

Here comes the sweep

 

Thing is, if they're not strong enough to show up for the biggest series of the year, then they weren't going to accomplish anything this year anyways.

Maybe Kenny can trade Thornton so no more managers will put him in the 9th.

lol u would have thought the red sox won the world series...so where are the people that said reed is fine? this is why i said you need an insurance closer(putz,krod etc)

Escobar left 2 guys on in the 9th and blew a DP.............he has no business taking a roster spot.

I don't 100% agree with the last statement, but yes, he was pathetic today.

 

Reed has to start that inning. Just because 50% of the first 4 hitters were LH doesn't mean they need a LHP against them. If they did, leave Quintana in. 103 pitches, 103 pitches, who cares?

 

I hope Peavy brings it tomorrow.

White Sox NEVER win a game this way, but they lose a s***load this way EVERY year!

Would have walked out with a win if Youkilis pinch hit for Escobar in the top of the 9th.

Let's hope they play as pissed against Detroit as I am right now. That's going to be a crappy flight

Huston street anyone?

Christ. I'm out of here.

 

Check in 10 minutes.

 

This was my post upon seeing Thornton start the inning.

 

Just checked back. Not surprised.

White Sox NEVER win a game this way, but they lose a s***load this way EVERY year!

They beat the Yankees in similar fashion this year, albeit it wasn't a walk off because it was in new york

Let's hope they play as pissed against Detroit as I am right now. That's going to be a crappy flight

i dont think ive never seen such a celebrated walk off for a somewhat meaningless game

Thing is, if they're not strong enough to show up for the biggest series of the year, then they weren't going to accomplish anything this year anyways.

 

That's why the "perts" are still picking the Tigers.

 

Huston street anyone?

 

This bullpen is terrible right now. Absolutely in shambles, as your two best relievers have been awful of late. The sad thing is this will cause Ventura to continue to overuse Peavy and Sale.

Gonna find out what this team is made of this weekend.

 

Time to put your big-boy pants on guys.

 

EDIT: I suggest no ESPN for the next 24 hours, this will be dubbed the turning point in their season, Bobby V is a genius and the east coast nut hugging will reach new, never seen before heights

So many bad things/decisions happened late in that game after the double play.

 

- Ground rule double for Beckham instead of RBI triple/inside the park homer.

- Not pinch hitting Youk for Escobar with runners on 2nd and 3rd, top of the 9th, 1-0 up. If he's available to PH as he apparently was, then HOW do you not PH him there?

- Bringing in Thornton.

- Keeping Thornton in after the lead-off hit.

- Escobar not getting the double play.

- Deciding to throw an 0-2 fastball.

- Deciding to throw a fastball inside to Ross who can only hit that pitch.

Melton going off on the bullpen. You don't typically hear this type of criticism from him.
