Lucky for us, Detroit sucks. This one ain't over.

Thornton was not a good matchup for these guys. They're all fastball hitters.

And doesn't throw ground balls.

how bad is Thornton, if we pulled him off waivers I'll be f***ing shocked

Exactly

Thornton isn't a good matchup for anybody. He sucks across the board against everyone. He cannot do any facet of his job

Hawk bumpin' Star Wars Day at US Cellular Field = Game is over.

I would be very happy if Thornton was DFA.

Did A.J. seriously call a fastball down and in to Young? Is he trying to throw the game? That's straight up suicidal.

 

What's suicidal is bringing in Matt Thornton when no team is leading by least 6 or 7 runs. Matt Thornton is absolutely human garbage and should never be trusted with any sort of situation that has the slightest inkling of importance. I'd prefer if I never had to see his sorry ass again. Today is the last day for playoff-implicating roster changes. Cut this piece of s*** and find someone in the minor leagues who happen to wear a glove on his right hand.

+1 Thornton is turrible.

 

time to retire Matt

Luckily, we have Thornton for another year!

Hell no we wont

But we are allergic to hitting with RISP on the road.

So THAT is what you're supposed to be able to do with bases loaded, no one out.

 

Noted, though it won't matter.

It's really quite simple. Use Donnie Veal as your primary left hander instead.

typical Chicagoan, so f***ing sensitive

Not really, I just think fans that actively cheer against their own team suck worse than Matt Thornton

He's 4-8, everytime he comes in after peavy he gives up a bunch, Matt isn't intimidating anymore

With how s***ty the rest of the team has looked, I can't even get mad at Thornton.

Thornton did a lot for us these last few years but he is clearly not out our best lefty in the pen......RV takes the blame on that IMO not Matty

he's jimmy rustlin' and you're falling for it

Prince Fielder hasnt had a hit off Matt. So technically it was the right call.

Nothing would make me happier than a Valverde BLOW UPPPPPP

Benoit's been giving up home runs at a torrid pace lately. Hopefully we can get those three runs back with one swing.

Another mental midget performance. Top of the order=useless. Sox pen is not consistent or good enough to put Detroit away.

Well this AB ought to be hilarious. Where does Young hit the double? Gapper or down the line?

 

Seriously. It's sad that I'm not even surprised that I was this close with my prediction. So frustrating.

Why won't Wise bunt at Cabrera leading off.? Not only would it be tough on Cabrera but he could tweak that ankle again.
