Scott Linebrink Is Expensive Masset

I don't know if I can form coherent complete thoughts right now, so let's just go with some bullet points
- White Sox pitching held the Cubs hitless with RISP for the first 16 innings of the series... And then Scott Linebrink entered the game (presumably to help Jenks in his next arbitration case by creating some more save opportunities)
- Linebrink has now allowed runs in 4 of his last 5 outings, including 2 losses and today's debacle. His line over that stretch looks like this: 4.1 IP, 7H, 7R, 2ER, 4BB, 4K, 3HR. He's also allowed the only inheritted runner he's had to score.
- That bullpen that Hawk likes to talk up so much has blown a lead or tie in 5 of the last 10 games.
- Alfonso Soriano entered the 9th hitting .125 with RISP and hitless in his last 17 such opportunities -- a middle-in, thigh-high fastball was about one of the only pitches he was going to be able to do anything with in a 2-strike count.
- Not that Thornton should have ever faced Soriano, who's never met a slider he couldn't swing at. If you're going to pitch to him with a base open, Dotel or Jenks were the proper call.
- The bottom of the lineup had a productive day at the plate, but Chris Getz' fielding woes may have negated it all.
- Gordon Beckham had his most productive day as a pro, reaching base in all 4 of his plate appearances and collecting his first multi-hit game to extend his hit-streak to a career high 4 games.
- Gavin Floyd's hairy balls are still present. They've just been overshadowed by a rabid, vulturous bullpen

Posts/Linebrink
Can’t anyone in a post comment on the matter at hand instead of catchy phrases that don’t say anything?
As far as the game is concerned, I would have rather lost 6-5 after the game being nip and tuck all the way than to have surrendered a 5-1 lead entering the eighth inning.
Scott Linebrink has been linestink for a long time. What was wrong with bringing in Carrasco or Dotel?

This is gold, Jerry, GOLD!!!
Following the 2007 season he was signed as a free agent by the Chicago White Sox, a deal reportedly worth $19 million over 4 years that put this turd on the White Sox.[citation needed] Over the course of his career, he’s been a millstone around the neck of the club stupid enough to have him.
Good work, billyok.

Some dynamite analysis...
…from some guy commenting on Mark Giangreco’s Facebook page
ozzie is a little league coach at best or t ball !! the only reason reinsdork signed him , was because he is 2 cheap to get a real manager!! 5000 the cubs finish with better record!! any takers!!!! go cubs!!! the only baseball team here that says chicago!!! daley should of let reinsdork take them 2 florida years back when he cried like a baby for a nwe trhing they call a ball park!! and all u city people helped pay for it !! suckers!!!!

Ozzie managed like a buffooon today
Bringing in Linebrink was the first bad move… then leaving him in to face Soto was mistake 2…. then having Thornton pitch the 9th was the third bad move… then pitching to Soriano was the 4th bad move… then leaving thornton pitch to soriano was the 5th bad move….. throw in honorable mention blunders like burning Thome and pinch hitting for Floyd with a 4 run lead and only 90 pitches thrown…. that was a pretty disasterific day for the good ol Ozzerooo
