Kalapse, with all due respect, you and fathom sometimes act like Oz isn't

watching the game.

I was watching the game and sensed Bobby still had a chance to get out of

it, though I wasn't sure, and Oz left him in.

Sometimes I think you guys think Oz is some guy who has never seen a

baseball game. Do you realize his experience???

 

Also just curious .. if Oz had yanked him and brought in a reliever who lost

the game, me thinks fathom still woulda blamed Oz.

Cause he wouldn't have brought in the reliever you wanted.

 

Personally I'm glad I see in Oz a winner and can go by most of his

decisions. You guys seem to want another manager and ifyou got one,

believe me, you'd be all over that guy, too, cause they all get second

guessed. It's too easy.

s*** ... any defeat in sports and you can second guess the skipper.

Don't you see that???

This is just incorrect. If Ozzie pulls Jenks before Sizemore comes to the plate and goes to Thornton (who was the only pitcher warming) and Thornton blows the lead? Ozzie would be getting praised right now for making the right decision.

 

You have to remember, we're not just hating on Ozzie because it's a fun thing to do or because we hate him or something he just catches heat for some of the seemingly stupid things he does. Ozzie has been praised a lot in the past by myself, Fathom and any other "Ozzie hater" on this board, there isn't a lot of 2nd guessing going on, it's mostly 1st guessing and when he makes a seemingly stupid move that does not work out, he's going to catch hell for it that's part of a manager's job.

a great win? The closer blew a 2 run lead on double after double and AJ was fortunate enough to face a rookie who has only thrown 13 innings in the majors. If they were facing a team with an established closer, this game would have been over after that 6th run was scored. A win is a win I know, but they were very fortunate to get out of it with a W

 

I'd like to point out that that's not true at all. The White Sox have blown saves for every great AL closer.

It's the million dollar question, and we just got a hint. Greasy is one of the legendary "good posters". :P

 

Milkman...it's like a faction in wrestling.

 

We're like DX when it didn't suck, and he's like the corporate ministry.

Ozzie should buy AJ a f***ing car.

 

What a finish, I'm willing to forget everything that happened in the top of the 9th. What a finish.

 

Oh yeah, AJs walkoff last year vs the Dodgers was also on WGN.

 

Unfortunately, my friend, you SHOULDN'T forget what happened at the top of the 9th. It is relatively alarming actually, that our closer was throwing "high school quality" fastballs and got not one single out. Something is definitely wrong with him, and if he ain't telling then Ozzie should beat it out of him. Hopefully Hermanson will get to proper form quickly 'cause we need a closer ASAP. Thornton threw some good cheese though.

MacDougal is a closer, and has been excellent since coming over to Chicago.

Yeah, I can't think of any closer we haven't gotten to yet in the AL, and I certainly can't think of any GOOD closer.

 

But, hey man, re: bold: Ha! :wub:

Um, we wanted Thornton to be brought in to face Sizemore. He was the person warming up. The thing is greg, we were stating this stuff well in advance of the Jenks blow-up. There's plenty of time when you can accuse us of second guessing....but this isn't one of them.

Jenks needs to get healthy and get right. We have 2 other options that can closer out the 9th until his hip gets better. I am wondering when they will give him a cortisone shot. Thats the next step, so he can pitch free and clear.

 

Did he just say free and queer? (major league II)

 

Great win, can we pleaaaase stop messing around and clinch a playoff spot now

Fair enough, fathom.

If Thornton woulda come in and threw it to the screen then got rapped for a broken

bat triple, would you have blamed Oz or Thornton?

Just wondering. Pls. be truthful.

 

Nope...once the first two guys got on, that was Thornton's game to win or lose. There's no one else in the bullpen besides him that would have even been an option after Jenks looked so bad against the first two hitters. If Thornton doesn't do the job there, then it's his fault.

Jenks was supposed to be healty. If he is then what happened? 4 doubles in the 9th and not a guy out. It seems our pitching staff looks for new goats every game

 

He's not healthy, I don't care what he saids. Dude was only hitting 94-95 on the gun...
