No f***ing way I agree with that,,,Manuel is gonna tinker...and except for a couple games in this past series, Joe Crede ain't done s***, quote me on that

I agree Now i'm just having fun with images

Oh, I have a foul mouth, but I vowed to only bring it out when necessary.....as for Heather accusations...that can't be an entirely bad thing

HOLY COW........ f*** i dont believe i just said that s***......... former A's pitcher Bobby Witt

Holy s***burgers....hsc is lethal with the language

Mets manager Art Howe (can ya tell hsc that all my words are gonna be baseball related)

Yes, he is not full-time player...but while he's hot, you have to play him over Crede or JosE6

Toronto pitcher Tom Henke

NO CHANCE, I repeat NO CHANCE that either a) JR offers ANY pitcher that money, especially a closer..or b)Foulke would have come back to play for this Mickey Mouse organization.

I'm still happy, cause I know that Foulke walks away after this season, going somewhere that isnt 35th st, no matter who he is with this year

I COMPLETELY agree....Graffy should play 3B while he is hot, and leave Alomar at 2B...hes been catching on here lately.

It is safe to say.......PK is back!!! And I am very happy to say so.

Who was it, Hoffman or Wagner, that used to be a flamethrower, but had to totally rediscover the art of closing using offspeed pitching?

The guy looks like a real MLB hitter right now, and is working the lines well. Triple and a double so far today....good for Tony.

He didn't pitch bad, he K'd 3, and was throwing good off speed stuff. Until his arm is capable of hitting 96+mph, then he has to do what he can to get outs...the guys arm is probably worn out, plain and simple, from the past years.

I didn't see the BBTN broadcast, but Brantley never has impressed me in the past shows. Koch has never been effective this year that I can remember can anyone else? I don't think he has ever shown the 100 MPH fastball he is so famous for. Plain and simple the trade for Foulke was bad. The trade was for economics, plain and simple....if KW doesn't make that trade, Foulke is here for 2003...then he walks...doesnt matter how much money you show him(which with JR, wouldn't have happened anyway). So then we have no closer, and nothing to show for Foulkes time here. So we trade him, get what looks on paper like a workhorse closer with serious heat, AND a pretty good lefty pitcher too. We sign Koch now, avoid the arbitration that would have come wth Foulke (and he wouldnt have accepted), and all looks well. Now, the problem is, obviously Koch has been severly overworked my Oakland and Toronto in his past. This I DO blame KW for. Closers don't pitch the amount that Koch has in his MLB career so far. Everyone forgets that there is NO WAY IN HELL that Foulke was gonna stay here any longer than he had to. Remember, Foulke too, had thrown a ton of innings over the past few years. I think he was amongst the top few in the majors. But also remember, Jason, that Foulkes 85 mph heater and 79 mph change can IN NO WAY do the same arm damage as trying to reach back and throw the ball 99+ mph every time....that takes its toll on ANY arm..ask Trevor Hoffman, Matt Anderson, etc...

What about Hummel? The guy isn't doing too bad in AAA...I'm sure the org. hasn't forgotten about him..

Go say hi to Wayne while youre at the Stardust, too....

His pitching was SO terrible that he gave up a bloop single, a broken-bat double, and struck out 3 in 2 innings. If thats bad, then we have some real s***ty pitchers..hell, Buehrle gave up 10 hits in 6+ innings...he must be considered a complete f***nut by those standards.

You, there...everyone....lets all blame the 2003 White Sox' problems on Billy Koch!!! Now that our other scapegoat, Jimenez is gone, we MUST lay the blame somewhere!!! Koch is having some troubles, yes, but I'll be damned if I think its right to say s*** like, "Thursdays loss was Koch's fault." Bulls***. Check Fatass #40, and the rookie named David Sanders...check those 9 runs, and tell me that its Koch's fault.

WTF?? WE are STILL blaming that loss on a guy that gave up 1 run in 2 IP, not the Fatass that can't overpower anyone all of a sudden? Sounds like scapegoat written all over it. Must be the in-thing to blame Koch for everything right now

As long as he is not here in 2004, I'm happy...with Buehrle, Loaiza, Garland...thats a start...then we HAVE to find 2 more starters, preferably one a lefty(maybe Josh Stewart). But with that being the case, we may have to trade Colon this year to get anything of value before he walks away.
