I am really tired of Ozzie taking pitchers out of the game because he doesn’t want them to get the loss. So what if Richard has over 100 pitches, he is only 25 years old, he can do that. Congrats Ozzie, your starter didn’t get the loss, but the relief pitcher you put in afterwards did, in a swift and quick fashion.

i had to watch updates on my iphone.

i know ozzie has won a world series with us, and i have questioned his managing before. but this stretch of suck we are in, granted the players have been bad, should be accredited to the skipper. i havent read comments above, so i may be repeating whats been said (i really hope that i am actaully).

i dont blame ozzie for taking out richard in the 5th, due to pitch count (maybe he could have gone farther, maybe not). but if you do so why in the fuck would you bring in A GOD DAMN 8TH INNING SET UP MAN!?!?!?!

if i have half the brain of helen keller, i know that we have 2 long relievers, one of which (DJ [clearly]) has had a really good year so far (proir to tonight of course), and the other was just called up for situations like this. thats who you bring in. poreda first, and if he struggles bring the other in to protect poreda.

moreover, why leave dotel in after blowing the hold? instead, lets leave him in to let another run in, because he’s shown such good control already. great idea ozzie. and then, when carraso decides to suck balls, you leave him in to give up 4 runs?

ozzie, walker, cox…. you guys have GOT to go. you are terrible. and i hope what kenny williams meant by "unpopular decisions" is getting rid of these 3 buffoons.

Im glad I didnt see this one, but it would have been nice to see Poreda.

Its a miracle they scored 2 runs.

Though Ozzie has been very very shaky since they called up Beckham. Lots of questionable managerial moves….. tonight you can’t blame him though. God couldn’t have managed that team to a win tonight

what innings might I enjoy watching?

the 4th.

at least the Hockey game was good

It’s been what, 9 games? I don’t think he’s going to have a sub .100 batting average for his entire career.

at least we can have a right fucking good laugh at the cubs

“It was amazing,” said Poreda, the Sox’s first-round pick in 2007 who was promoted Tuesday from Double-A Birmingham. "I felt like I was going to out to battle. I was throwing as hard as I could, never giving up and letting the pieces fall where they did.

that is some major league clicheing.

Which caused Black Jack to take him to task for not knowing that his role is “to get people out”. But given the above quote, his clicheing is already improved markedly. I guess Walker isn’t the the Sox cliche coach…

I’ve been very surprised by Richard. I’m not saying he’s the next big thing, but his performance curve makes him look like he’ll be a real major league pitcher. And, I can’t remember the last time that someone’s fastball was better than advertised — that’s certainly the case here.

Even only pitching five innings and not being able to field, Richard looks like he could give the Sox a legit 4th starter for next season. Having to only find one good SP instead of 2 can make a big difference. Especially since the Sox clearly need to pour resources into position players.

Thornton, Linebrink, and Poreda can form the decent back of a bullpen next season hopefully. The Sox can shed Jenks salary and maybe get a decent prospect back in return…

Do the Rays need a reliever?
