mcgrad70 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) I think so the time has come. I know he's beloved but his two no-hitters aside, this guy ain't no ace. I was blessed to have seen Gary Peters, Tommy John, Joel Horlen and Wilbur Wood pitch for the Sox. If your measure of an ace-like pitcher is Mark, you didn't see these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 08:47 PM) Looks like Mark's ready for the offseason. I wonder if all those perspective buyers realize he's only good until August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the most reliable closer in postseason history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) If Detroit goes 8-10 their final 18, the Sox only have to go 18-1 for the tie. Keep updating us on those scores Hawk. Edited September 10, 2011 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark has had a better Sox career than any of those guys. I don't understand this negativity surrounding Sox legends sometimes. Mark gets hit sometimes but any team would be lucky to have him. I think it's safe to say Mark Buehrle has had a WAY BETTER career than any of those guys you mentioned. Chubby Wilbur got guys out but he also got hit hard a lot as well. Whether he's an 'ace' or not, who cares? he's great. Edited September 10, 2011 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're getting shorter and shorter. Especially on the weekends. Yet those who want a rebuild don't know what they're in for. I realize Soxtalk makes up a very small minority of Sox fans. But bring this crap back next year and 5-page or less game threads will become the rule. Edited September 10, 2011 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 If we have a season like the Cubs are having there will be NO interest. That's what happens when you fall 10 or more back in June. I haven't heard a fricking word about the Cubs in months. Though admittedly i dont read the Trib or SunTimes much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw those guys too. 1967 and earlier was some pitching staff for the Sox. 1967 is when Joel Horlen was robbed of the Cy Young and they gave it to Jim Lonborg just because Boston was the AL, But, Mark Buerhle is pretty special too Edited September 10, 2011 by elrockinMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy John was better, but not when he was a Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
