Texsox Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 My MLB alert just texted that Dustin has been activated from the dl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Any word on how he has preformed in Charlotte? Has he been able to hit 90 yet, or go multiple innings with any success? A solid month from a guy like Dustin could be HUGE for the playoff run with guys like Cotts, Riske, and Brandon looking a little rough right now.

The only thing that would be huge is the moon shots that he gives up in clutch situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Shingo's in line at Immigration in San Francisco. Seems to be having trouble getting through customs with his hair gel. Nice to see the old gang back together again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised we are not starting him. Sounds like a candidate for the rotation with that kind of gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm setting the over/under date that he goes back on the DL at Sept. 14th. Who wants a piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 LMAO at the cynicism across the board here (no pun intended). Ahhh, some classic one-liners. This is why I love Sox fans--you can't say we're a deluded bunch!!!! And no doubt: the way this year is going, Hermy may make Arnie Munoz look like Rivera...

NorthSideSox72 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hermy needs to retire and become a really good pitching coach. I get the feeling he'd be great at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'll atleast applaud him for his effort. Most put into his situation would have simply sat at home and collected his pay checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphat007 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Good for Hermy! He's really worked his ass off to get back. Here's hoping it is worth it for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSoxFan Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm just not sure what role he's here to play at this point seeing that we have a full bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of pitchers would have been offended by it, but he just took it and did what he could for the team. Hermanson is pretty much awesome.

I'm REALLY glad that Kenny nabbed MacDougal and Riske and decided to take a chance on Thornton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Hermie back. Now just get some outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Very, very thankful for what he did last year and I agree that he is one of the unsung hero's of the Championship team but that being said, he's toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hopefully the White Sox are activating him out of respect for his effort to try to pitch. I hope to God they don't throw him out there in a situation when the game is on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
