Balta1701 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2010 -> 10:46 PM) I don't think he's an asshole at all, in the way that someone like Milton Bradley is. I think he's just wild, and our clubhouse led by Konerko, Thome, and Dye didn't like it. There was clearly more going on than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:47 AM) There was clearly more going on than that. Well, yes and then he was upset he got benched at the end of the year. I was hoping they would be able to work it out and have him return last year, but obviously we got rid of him at the first chance we could.

BigSqwert Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 7, 2010 -> 09:47 PM) 2-5 with a HR, a 3B, and 6 RBIs... hell of an MLB debut for Starlin Castro. f*** that guy and that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 If we go to the 12th, do you go to Santos or Putz? What are the odds that Thornton makes it through the entire season without being shut down or DL'ed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's just wild, and our clubhouse led by Konerko, Thome, and Dye didn't like it. Judging by how he reacted to getting benched, he sure sounds like one to me. he sure thought he was more important than the team, that's for sure.

ThunderBolt Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 7, 2010 -> 10:53 PM) Santos and Putz. Santo is going to have innings restrictions placed on him all year. Putz is being monitored for his health. And we literally have no other LHP's worth a damn in the entire system. It's a no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
