QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) Jesus Montero. Randall Delgado or Arodys Vizcaino. If KW can pull this off he'll never be questioned by me again. Not punting the season. But this sucks. I would love to see Montero come in a Jackson deal at some point.

Nice homestand Sox no wonder you cannot get over 20k a game, it will be less after this road trip from hell.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) Yes it would have. Rios had a huge lead and would have been off with the pitch. You do not have Visquel and Pierre back to back in that situation EVER!

FN bulls*** they cannot get a run this inning, why bat Pierre, Guillen should be fired.

No DP AJ

Let's go.

Well 1-2-3 in ninth again anyone. we make Angels bullpen look like all stars.

Let's hammer someone else's pen for a change.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) You wouldn't know it from their boards, they were posting like you guys are now, but after 3 games... I like him and he knows how to manage a bullpen something OG still has no clue at.

Can not get the big hit again! Must be nice to have bullpen guys that do the job.

Do not tease me Sox!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) Haren has 2 walks coming into today in 3 starts and 1 relief appearance. He's gone to a full count 15 times in his first 4 games. Excellent info Balta.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) 7 innings and 100 pitches is not "burning him up" IMO I agree use him till he is burnt up go 9 for that matter.

Haren has been 3-2 count alot and no walks dam!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 02:49 PM) Haha, so Buehrle starts the 7th inning when he's getting hammered at 90 pitches? Ozzie's such an idiot. Down 4-0 anyway burn him up today.

This is why the blown saves are such a kick in the nuts because when you face a Weaver and Haren you have no room for error.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) This slump has nothing to do with Walker. Slumping against some of the best pitchers in the world is excusable. It's the bullpen/Ozzie's fault we didn't have more of a cushion to be over .500 right now. I did not say it did, I said the talk would begin.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 02:37 PM) I hate when the Sox are in these modes where they just drop game after game and you start to get numb to it. It is like watching the same movie over and over again. I am sure the fire Greg Walker talk will start 2 minutes after this game is over.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) Calling for guys to be traded and fired, it's pretty early for that. The season is already a whole 0.09% over, uh oh... This is just not about 2011 patterns with certain players have been obvious for a while now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 02:31 PM) How many teams are going to take on both Jackson and Teahen's contract at the deadline? I cannot answer that today, but when it is nut cutting time a team will be willing to pay the price IMO!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) It's ironic because I always considered Thornton a great trade chip if they went into a rebuilding period. Now his value as a set-up man at for $5.5 million is pretty much just a salary dump unless he turns it around somehow....even then, only 5-7 teams, at best, would be able to afford that luxury. You have to hold on to Ramirez, Beckham, Santos and Sale...and many would argue now's the time to trade Alexei if you rebuild. I still think that new contract's favorable enough that you could go into rebuilding with the middle infield set for the next half decade. That's a good starting point. I would say goodbye to MB, CQ and AJ. Sign Danks longterm and IF EJ will not sign trade him to highest bidder at trade deadline and make them eat a contract like Teahan as part of the deal.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) What will he get back? It's like trading Jenks the last couple of offseasons when they were giving him one year contracts. He's becoming more and more expensive....to the point where his value is fairly negligible because of his streakiness and horrid OF play. He's basically Pat Burrell. We're not going to get a prospect who have "MVP ability" in return, we'll just be slashing payroll and playing Viciedo, Milledge or Danks there. Pine tar would be just as valuable as CG last 2 years.

Rays have been hot the last week Sox better start hitting.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) Way to pull that outside slider/splitter Carlos CQ is one of the first guys I would like to see traded.

This has a 7-1 type feel game with a solo White Sox homer in the ninth!
