Can't we just give up

so we don’t have to keep sending Buehrle out there for no reason?

by southsidejeff on May 2, 2008 7:33 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He's only getting $11MM for this

Jim Carrey got $20MM for The Cable Guy.

I took the "under".

he hit a HR in the 8th tied, one in the 8th up a run, two in the 8th up two runs, and one in the 9th down 2. meaningless, right?

Haven't you heard

The new league rule says the ChiSox can only score using the HBP, BB and solo HR. Sure is tough on us!

That we played all last year and will continue to play all this year

Thome is automatic strikeout.

Can’t we move him down the order? Can’t we change this lineup?

by circles on May 2, 2008 8:06 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

or as long as he has the second best OPS on the team.

Too bad we can’t back him up with a few runs. Or one.

History

No Sox pitcher has had a complete game loss while giving up no earned runs since Mike Sirotka on 7/23/00 The last time before that was Greg Hibbard on 5/25/90.

Not going to blame the hitting coach... but.....

At what point does someone have to take the fall? I mean a team batting average of .240 two years running means I want someone’s head on a platter. But we can’t get rid of one of the good ‘ol boys, can we???
