It's a very agitated fan base right now due to the bullpen. Dunn's injury has also killed a lot of the excitement over him.

Also Sox fans don't give a s*** what the team looks like on paper (we've seen that story overplayed), we want to see it on the field before we pay money.

This team should be 9-1 after tonight. This is so frustrating.

the good thing is that the tigers and twins have been worse and the bad thing is that we could be taking advantage of it

How, again, is Thornton not a closer? His D has screwed him for the second time. His stuff didn't vaporize overnight.

 

People seem to forget his bad end to the season due to medical issues. His stuff is not good right now, as his fastball is 2 mph short.

The team looks good. Better than I expected at least, but unless they're killing it in first place for most of the season, attendance won't go up.

Thornton threw an 0-2 hanging curveball down the middle.

 

That isnt the Matt Thornton of last year.

 

It was his slider. The one he hardly throws because it is bad. He doesn't have a curveball.

Nonsense. Ozzie is probably the worst in game manager in the league, especially at making decisions with his pitching staff. This one is on Oz

 

He manages by his gut - he needs a gut replacement.

No this one isnt on Ozzie.

 

Unless you forget the only reason that the Sox were even up 1-0, is that Lillibridge a player only Ozzie would even have on his team hit the hr to put them ahead.

 

Im sure Mark said that he was tired, no way does Ozzie not give his starter a chance.

Thornton deserves a shot at the closer role, but this is another strike against, Im not sure how many more chances he gets to be honest.

 

i think the dropped ball may give him a pass in ozzie's eyes.
