Dick Allen Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Why when the Sox hitters don't hit, Walker has to go, but when Peavy and Floyd fall apart no one calls for Cooper's head. I will. Obviously he's not getting through to these guys. More often than not when Cooper goes out to the mound it means runs are about to be scored. He needs to go.

Sox were 5th in ERA I believe coming into this series. Anyone watching this year knows that it's been the offense which has prevented the Sox from winning more games.

fathom Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 20, 2011 -> 03:26 AM) Off-topic: good luck to whoever has to play the Phillies come October. Easily the most complete team in baseball. Hunter Pence, like I knew he would, has fit in beautifully. Brewers are pretty damn good right now, and Kimbrel has got to be the most electric reliever in baseball this year for the Braves. As a Cubs hater, I enjoy seeing the depth of great teams in the NL.

The Sox are setting themselves up for just a gigantic PR disaster if they lose Buehrle this offseason because they're payroll is too high led by guys like Rios and Dunn.

I liked him in St. Louis, and I remember saying during ST that he'd be up with the team this year. He got shelled a few hours later, and I got made fun of (deservedly so). I will say that it looks like someone made a bad decision in promoting Bruney before him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Buehrle is the team's best all around pitcher. He fields his position and holds runners on base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Just a pathetic offensive effort tonight. I'm about 5 days away from rooting for an 0 for the rest of the season for Pierre so that KW doesn't bring him back.
