QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 05:13 PM) If there are no other options, sure but I can't get behind it when Putz is fresh and ready to go. You have to attempt to limit Jenks and Thornton's innings and pitching Linebrink with the game well within reach is not the way to go about it. Yeah I get that, but what im saying is you shouldn't feel the need to use one of your best relievers when the game is that far out of reach.. I understand why we used our garbage men, but a 5 run lead is pretty big for the 9th inning.. no matter where you are playing.. Williams definitely needs to go though, I am ok with Linebrink as the garbage MR

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 04:59 PM) 0-2 with a pair of quality starts and another outing of 5 IP, 3 ER. 4 starts overall, though. Arent we 0-4 in those games tho?

You should feel comfortable throwing Randy and Linebrink out there with a 5 run lead.. they have no business on the roster if you cant use them with that big of a cushion and not fear for blowing the lead.. that being said, I agree that Williams is horrible and needs to go.. ide rather have Threets up here..

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 04:56 PM) I'd agree with you if we weren't 3-8 against the Indians. I think Peavy is like 0-4 vs them though

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 04:53 PM) My god. The definition of a bandwagon fan. He does fine and you TOLERATE him. He blows one save and you want his ass. Welcome to the working world. Hope your boss doesn't treat you like that. My god. Are you kidding greg, im sure there are many people who will tell you I have been one of the supporters for Bobby this season along with yourself.. Im not saying that I tolerate him, I am saying as long as he keeps doing his job he should stay as closer.. but if he starts blowing saves and costing us games, he needs to be removed from that role..

I think we could win 100 games if we were in the NL Central.. We just look like an NL team

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 04:51 PM) How can you guys say Bobby f***ing Jenks is not one of the best? Amazes me. because his ERA is almost 5 and he has had some pretty bad outings this year, earlier of course..

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 04:48 PM) Until he's not. For now it's good. Why cant everyone feel this way? Aside from the fact that Jenks has been money in June, he hasn't been blowing us games that should be won.. im fine with him as long as that holds.. when he starts blowing games, ill be right with everyone else wanting him to be gone..

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) With a 5-run lead? yeah, who shoulda been out there then?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) He should if he wants to do what's best for this team. I hope this doesn't fool anyone. oh it will

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 12:39 PM) But in terms of marketing towards the rest of the country, it rapidly becomes one. I keep missing the final minutes of NBA games in the finals because I need to get to sleep. Well college football is generally always on a Saturday with a few occasions.. so unless you are going to work on Sunday, there should be no problem having to watch a late Texas game.. And I guarantee you, it doesn't matter what day it was on just about every Texas fan will watch the game, regardless of work or not.. At least Texas fans that live in Texas or are from Texas.. they just will, without a doubt..

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 11:12 AM) college kids sleep until noon, and begin thinking about going out at 10pm. I'm not certain it is that big of a deal competitively. Its not. Even non college Texas fans would stay up to watch the game late. They just don't know how big it is down here.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 05:02 PM) Oh come on now...as you get older, you realize how foolish it is to try and be the guy who can drink the most...where has that ever gotten anyone? I don't try to be that guy, but im not gonna lie that guy is usually hilarious..

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:25 AM) But the fallacy in your premise is that Kotsay and Andruw Jones are the cause of our losing record. They simply are not. And unless they were to be replaced by Justin Morneau and Ryan Braun, I'm not sure that it would have made a difference. That was just an example of a move gone wrong..

I don't necessarily think that KW should be fired either.. but jesus christ how could he go into this season with Kotsay and an unknown in Jones as the DH? I don't care what Ozzie wants, KW should have known better..

5 IP - 4 H - 0 R - 0 BB - 6 K - 3/3 Saves That's his June line so far, maybe get off his back a little?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 01:27 AM) Yeah yeah, god forbid the blame actually fall on the players who are being paid millions to put up production far worse than replacement player levels. If that were the case, why would any GM ever get fired? They could just say hey, don't blame me blame the players they are the ones not performing.. The problem is, the GM is the one who brought all these players here that aren't performing..

College Basketball That's the hardest championship to win..

youth and energy will always be superior

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) Non-Voters are personally responsible for the slavery and lynchings in the south.. My college professor says so.. I don't vote

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 04:27 PM) Now tell us who Kenny should've traded for or signed in place of Peavy, Buehrle, Floyd, Beckham, CQ, A.J., and Ramirez and you'd have a decent argument. How should I know, im not a GM But that doesn't change the fact that Kenny is the one who constructs the team..

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) lol I hope thats Blackwood

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) This is kind of random, but has Alexei's defense improved? According to Fangraphs his UZR is 2.8, 2nd in the AL behind Scutaro. Or has the SS position just gone to crap? Hes always been good, hes just had mental lapses at times that drive people crazy..

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:34 PM) ??? means he is no good

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) NEVER gonna happen!! He was told it wasn't a demotion ..they just need him to handle the new pitchers and they want him closer to Kannapolis and W-S. ..Luis Sierra told me the same thing happened to him last season and he was only in Bristol for a week. Blackwood is a buster
