YASNY Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 QUOTE(chisoxt @ May 28, 2006 -> 05:13 AM) Look, maybe in a past life I would agree with you, but keep in mind, we won the world series last year, not with hitting but with pitching, pitching and pitching. If we are trying to duplicate last year's accomplishements, our pitching overall has to be as good as last years team. Right now, it's mot. And don't tell me that our improved offense will compensate for the inferior pitching, in the words of Rocky the Flying Squirrel, that trick never works. I love the Rocky reference.

southsideirish71 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Nelson is there to face a righty or 2. Not to run 2 innings against a lot of hitters. If you want a goat for the game, his name is Taz and he has a problem hitting and bunting and lately turning the DP. Nelson giving up the walkoff was just the punchline to the joke that the game was already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Is Howry any good? Would the Cubs do a guy a favor and lend us Howry for some minor league stiff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OilCan Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I guess he did pretty good today, considering the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Nelson wasn't even on a major-league roster at the beginning of the season. WTF do you guys expect? The Jeff Nelson of 2000 to suddenly re-appear? :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Im not so quick to give up on Nelson. Let him have some time with the team and get some work in before passing judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they take George Bell back? I heard he has been pumping gas in the Dominican, but if Nelson can make a comeback, maybe Taco can too.

The Beast Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I don't know if I'm off here, but, Nelson reminds me of a guy like Nomo who has been bouncing around. Did we ever deal him somewhere? I just think he's still got something left in him if we wanted to even bother. Or what's this I hear about Esteban Yan being designated for assignment by Los Angeles? I don't know, just throwing out a wacky .02 about our bullpen. Or bring up a young guy and see him get beat up like usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yan needs to stay away from the south side. That, and we need to call up the right young guy. That means keep away from Montero, Farnsworth, and anyone who can't top 92 with a fastball and has more than one pitch he can throw for strikes. That's why Gage and I have been intrigued by Tracey.

Dick Allen Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) The White Sox are just asking for trouble if they think the answer to their bullpen woes is on the Charlotte Knights right now. Edited May 30, 2006 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
