what a terrible series. we should just go home and cry

 

Meanwhile, Linbebrink continues to be out with what Kenny Williams termed pretty unserious, in fact, it really was just totally precautionary to put him on the DL. Meanwhile, no relief pitchers were acquired. But, cool, we got Griffey.

matt thornton is a p***y, pitched like the boogyman was coming for him.

 

Everyone in the world knows he's better when he starts an inning. It gives him a little more leeway with offspeed pitches.

and what's sad about this game is that Javy will get the loss.

 

 

He doesn't really deserve the win when he crapped his pants and walked Gabe Gross.

 

He's just not a playoff pitcher. He gets the easy outs and puts up great strikeout numbers, but he's also the pitching equivalent of Thome or Albert Belle with the Sox.

 

White Sox, of course, botch the rundown and allow the runners to move up to 2nd and 3rd...watch these two extra runs score and put us completely out of the game. We don't deserve to make the playoffs...we are just not a smart team, and I don't think coaching is going to change this.

How do you figure? Not the way we've played these last two.

 

Do you even look at the standing?

 

We are either getting the wild card or division.

 

The Red Sox are playing worse then us, lost 11-0 today to the Blue Jays.

Some people are hilarious.

 

Some games you win, some games you lose.

 

The Sox were up 3-1 and are down 5-3, instead of thinking the Sox can perhaps score some runs people just give the game away.

 

We are not even in September, its not even the last week of August.

 

Boston lost 11-0 to Toronto, I wonder if their fans are all saying the season is over?

And the team were batting in the wild card is playing worse then us right now.

 

Both teams have difficult schedules the rest of the way. It would be nice if the Yanks man up against the Red Sox down the stretch.

So when we trade Poreda to get someone like Chad Bradford, you'd be satisfied when the White Sox are 72-90 in 2010?

 

You know you're in trouble when your best option now in the 8th inning is DJ Carraso, who's lucky to crack 87-88 MPH with his fastball? Every White Sox fan KNEW deep down that Thornton was going to walk Iwamura, there wasn't a doubt in anyone's minds. I think he should be traded next year when he's on a hot streak and we should just start over again to rebuild our pen. Heck, we might even be better off trading Jenks while his value is at a high to get some speed on this team, as it's not coming from our farm system.

When we beat them in the 1st game of the 4 game series we had vs them a week or so ago, on their message board they were pretty furious and many said they are done.
