Im arguing the fact that just about everyone on this board thinks Koch needs to be removed as the closer when he is pitching better than last year and gettin the job done and i think your the one who needs glasses because Koch was gettin the shaft on some calls his last 2 outings

haha Steff you can sit here and argue with me all day but the FACT is hes getting saves, pitching badly or not....

So what are you trying to say? Every closer has to be Eric Gagne?

Yeah, and that was my opinion... but the FACT is Koch is closing games and getting the save so whats the point of saying he needs to go? Until he doesnt get the job done theres no reason to complain, because I dont see what your complaining about

ok 9 runs in the 9th is a little much... what I was getting at there was a sox win is a sox win, I dont care how it goes

Well until Koch starts blowing saves and we fall out of first place because of him Im not gonna sit here and bash him when hes getting the job done.. At least he isnt getting pounded like he was last year and as much as you all hate him you cant deny hes getting the job done, and if you do then thats just sad

maybe you should just not complain and be happy hes getting saves and not blowing them just a thought

You can all hate Koch and say he sucks and we need to get rid of him but we ARE the First Place Chicago White Sox and we HAVE a closer who IS getting the job done... Until things change from that I dont see any reason for complaints

Again I repeat Luck or not, a SAVE is a SAVE He got the save, both games we won... doesnt matter how he does it he did what he was asked to DO

I thought the purpose of a closer was to close out games and get the save appears to be what Billy is doing isnt it

All i know is, I dont have a problem with Koch until he starts blowing saves As of right now hes 5 of 6.. and has got the job done his last few outings earning a save Last night for example... Bases loaded with no outs... Koch got out of that with a save, and I think if they would have pulled Koch we would have lost.. As long as Koch keeps getting the job done i dont see where any of you have an argument

as a matter of fact if its 10 - 0 and Koch comes in and we win 10 - 9 I am perfectly fine with that.. im sure everyone on his board would be fine with that... a win is a win, simple as that.. i dont see what the problem is here

Box scores are all that matter so if your gonna complain that we are winning and Koch is getting saves, then shame on you...

Yeah since its just so easy to coast into second standing up in the major leagues when stealing a base

You Koch haters need to shut the hell up and quit b****ing W - Shingo (2 - 0) L - BJ Ryan (0-1)? S - Koch (5) thats all I need to see right there Hes getting the saves, where is your argument? You have none, shut the hell up and accept the fact that he IS our closer and IS closing games out

Dammit, i wish that would have gotten done

Hey Dylan, what deal was in place for Wunsch before he faked an injury?

I wouldnt mind seeing Willie in CF because its clear Rowand has sucked it up.. ALSO Willie has no errors this year, the mans playing some good baseball

Heres a thought... 16 - 9 why come in and take away the fastest player on the team who IS batting over .280 right now and bench him??? I say, if the Sox are smart, Valentin is out of luck and benched.. theres now way you f*** with this teams chemistry right now.. were on a tear and if you mess it all up it could be costly.. The teams playing good, Valentin will have to sit till there is reason to bench either Harris or Uribe, and right now I see no reason to do either... Whats that gonna do for Willies confidence?? Hes starting to hit and then gets benched, it would hurt his progress, definatley

Seriously this is ridiculous.. The man went out and got the job done, he did what was asked of him... Thats all he is supposed to do dammit.. Why jump his ass? Its pointless... When you look at the final it says... W - Schoeneweis (2-1) L - DeJean (?-?) S - Koch (4) Thats all that matters, and sitting here b****ing about him is doing nothing but running you a greater risk of getting carpletunnel syndrom from wasted typing

BS????????? he got the damn save, bottom line.. i dont care how ugly it is... game over sox won.... geyt over it and be happy

did Koch get the save? yes.... case closed... he got the job done It doesnt matter what happened he got the job DONE he was pitching good they kept fouling them off and staying alive, he K'd two men i mean cmon.. bottom line is, until he stops getting the job done, leave his ass as the closer

ill give it a shot

still not working

Ok when I clicked the chat room link, its just blank... so I tried to just go to WhiteSoxCentral and that wouldnt go there either... just blank.. I dunno what the deal is
