Brian Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Maybe we should stop trading for relievers from KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 HoRam has nothing on his pitches. Everything just rolls up to the plate. We went from having a stellar bullpen to having Adam Russell be the #3 guy behind Jenks and Thornton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:05 PM) And that doesn't really make any sense. It does. They do everything right except hit, including managing. Everyone is ready to compare them to the late 20s Yankees and yet they just aren't that great as a unit. Like Tampa, for example.

fathom Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 You can't pitch Jenks in a game you're down 2. I'll say this...we have no chance to make the playoffs unless Dotel steps up his game or Linebrink returns soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say this...we have no chance to make the playoffs unless Dotel steps up his game or Linebrink returns soon. They have no closer right now, and after cutting the margin in half, you bring in your closer for an almost automatic scoreless inning. Going to the bottom of the 9th down 2 makes me believe we still have a chance. Slim? Yeah. But it beats a 3+ run deficit. QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) Who's ready to compare them to the '27 Yankees? All the analysts have said with Tex now, they are a great offense. Well, I've yet to see that.
