I can't believe just ONE aspect (the bullpen) of this otherwise fairly solid team is about as frustrating for me to watch as that damn 2007 season as a WHOLE... and it's barely been a week and a half worth of games.

 

This is just brutal.

 

Just like the leadoff issues 2 years ago and the DH issue last year, whenever there's uncertainty with a Sox position, you know the self-fulfilling prophecy of failure will occur.

Danks Should have Closed His Own Game Out. Same thing as Buerhle on Monday!

 

And by July, we have 5 starters on the DL for dead arm, because it doesn't matter who we try to use out of the pen, they fail.

Now there are even bigger problems.

 

With the idiotic Teahen deal and the extension through 2013 (with another million dollar buyout for 2014) now for Thornton, you might have two busted contracts weighing on the payroll, just when we got out from under the Linebrink fiasco.

 

I just can't believe Thornton's already been ruined by 12 games as the "closer."

 

He has to be pitching with a dead arm or hiding an injury.

f*** Matt Thornton.

 

Ya'll keep making excuses for him, he is pitching like a pile of dog s***, excreted by Billy Koch.

 

You are utterly hilarious.

 

greg doesn't need a replacement on this board, thank you.

After that, Thornton obviously is no longer the closer.

The question is truthfully, is he more than an Ohman type guy now?

One batter or two?

He has nothing, no pop. No offspeed, nothing.

 

Let's face it this team has no closer. None.

It has to be Ozzies...despite him trying to use just about the entire bullpen, only to have every one of them fail...it's his fault.

 

Keep making excuses for Sale starting the 9th. Pretty simple choice to use Crain there with 2 righties up.

Of course not, the majority of the people on this board think MT can do no wrong. He's been HORRIBLE.

 

They can have him he is worthless as a closer and NEVER should be in that situation anymore. He is an 8th inning setup guy period! Anyone who defends a guy 0-4 in saves must love losing.

Crain failed too.

 

So did Thornton.

 

So keep making excuses for members of the bullpen, because it wouldn't have mattered WHO Ozzie used. :P

I agree. He has a dead arm or is hurt.

The difference being that there is talent in this bullpen and it is capable of being good whereas it was obvious to the entire world that Mark Kotsay sucked and having him DH was as laughable of a decision as there has ever been in baseball and going with Wise was an absolute joke.
