think our pitchers poor first few innings of games the past 1-2 months is due to AJ not getting them prepared properly?

Bulls seem DEADLY AFRAID of taking jump shots. You have to f***ing shoot the ball sometimes. The Pacers D is locking down the paint right now

so is this what it looks like when one team is playing full effort vs a team who is more talented is playing at about half the effort ?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 10:52 PM) Royals win again. Sox fans would be excited if we were 9-4 like they are instead of 7-6 blahdom. We'll be sub-.500 in a week, put that on the board

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 10:44 PM) With Rios struggling, there's a lot of wasted payroll right now not contributing between him and Peavy. Sadly, seems like KW got suckered into bringing back AJP after his strong contract year finish. He's a zero tool player now. I think AJ gets too much credit for 'handling' this pitching staff. His constant "Pitch away away away" philosophy has burned us repeatedly. I actually laughed out loud when AJ set up away from Abreu and Humber threw it in on his hands. f*** you AJ, you're bad.

Congratulations Brent Morel, you singlehandedly f***ed this teams chances of winning tonight. Fraud, just like all the other Sox prospects who are supposed to be good at something

lmao at this team, good luck paying those contracts Kenny & Jerry! You guys will be lucky to average 20k this year in attendance!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 09:47 PM) Nice to see Ozzie leaving Gray in to die. It'd be harder to f*** things up if we didn't have so many Jeff Grays, Philip Humbers, and Jeff Marquez' in our minor league system.

lol, people are really naive. and i hate internet trolls. I'd punch you in the face if i met you in person. Not because I hate you, but because I have a personality quirk that makes me want to destroy anything that purposefully tries to rile people up. Forgive me.

jesus christ Tony Pena is useless. USELESS. it's GUARANTEED he will give up runs when you bring him in

When Peavy comes back, just put Humber in LF and DFA Pierre

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:01 PM) Ball being hit hard at a player is an out. Statistically even the best hitters only hit 1/3 times. Bad luck is when something that would normally happen (fly ball that hits a players glove being caught) doesnt happen. Balls get hit hard at players all the time. ALMOST EVERY BALL PUT IN PLAY WITH THORNTON PITCHING HAS BEEN LINE-SHOTS. If you don't understand what this means, I don't know what to tell you. He's getting lit up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:59 PM) Tonight was not about luck. Crisp's line drive was good luck for Thornton. THIS. Talk about the dropped fly ball. Yeah, bad break for poor matty! Thank god for Konerko getting a ball blazed right into his glove at 500 MPH. It evened out.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:37 PM) Yeah, I speak it. Apparently Ozzie doesn't (hardy har har). Seriously, I couldn't get a concrete idea WTF he was talking about; didn't sound sensible. What was "decided in Spring training?" That he wouldn't exceed the 8th inning? I mean...??? lol Ozzie decided in spring training (made the decision during spring training) that THIS YEAR, they would protect Buehrle's arm by limiting how many pitches he throws in games he starts I'm not quite sure how someone who speaks english can't understand this

I woulda rather had Buehrle out in the 9th too (i said it in this thread) but if Ozzie said earlier this year that they were gonna start protecting Buehrle's arm from 100+ pitch outings then whatever, that's something they think they need to do Pierre and Thornton combined are killing this teams chances to win in the 9th inning

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) Well, that's going to pay off when Ozzie's in Florida next year. What does what you just said have to do with Rongey being an apologist? Just trying to put 2 & 2 together here.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) Um... what??? English m'fer, do you speak it?

FYI you kids who think Rongey is being an apologist, Ozzie said in the post-game that he wasn't going to let Mark pitch because he has to protect him this year and the decision was made this spring. Food for thought

How come every year this roster gets tight ass when there's even the slightest sense of urgency or adversity? Games against the twins last year, now just a f***ing save situation or close 9th inning game. It's bulls***

maybe a loss tonight will force ozzie's hand.

Morel has a lot to learn. Like the odds of an 0-2 pitch being hittable is pretty slim. Take a pitch, slick.

Pierre is a f***ing bench player at this point. Honestly, he's not even that. He's a worthless roster spot.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) AGAIN?!?! That is not Thornton's fault. LOL, seriously? Thornton is INCAPABLE OF GOING 1-2-3.

You can't run him out there again. Not in his own making? He gave up a leadoff double you f***ing morons.

LOLOLOLOL
