Scott Linebrink Is A Born Winner

Kenny Williams wasn't happy Monday as he talked to reporters in not-quite-off-the-record fashion. He felt like the White Sox had given away winnable games on their recent West Coast trip, winnable games that could have put them in  first place. And even though the Sox came out on the winning end of a back-and-forth game, it's hard to imagine he felt much better 6 hours later. 

The Sox were still giving games away -- What other purpose does Scott Linebrink have? -- but the Royals have perfected the craft through years of organizational ineptitude. 

There might not be a more hollow victory all season.

  • Linebrink gets the win after giving up two 2-out walks and a first pitch, game-tying homer to Mike Jacobs
  • Scott Podsednik gets CSN Player of the Game honors on a night, like most others, that he made you want to... trail off without finishing your thought so that your post is as incomplete as his game.

It's almost as if the baseball gods are just fucking with us. They have to be. If I had bothered to write anything about the weekend, I would have commented about the proper usage of Bobby Jenks in a tie game on the road in the bottom of the 9th inning. But we all know how that worked out, which might help reinforce (to Ozzie and others) the notion that Jenks shouldn't be used in high-leverage non-save situations. Which would be a horrible conclusion to make, especially given the alternatives.

Anyway, I suppose a lot of us feel a lot like Kenny. This whole season has been one long tease. The division is right there for the taking. It will probably only take one 5-1 or 6-1 week to take over the division. But the Sox are running out of weeks. And even though most of the games have been exciting when viewed in a vacuum, collectively they've made this Sox season one of the most frustrating in recent memory... even in victory.

'08 through the mirror

Left .500 behind on May 16, spent 130 days in first after that.

Not including, of course, the last weekend of the season. That mighta been the frustrating part.

Well, it certainly has been a frustrating year

But also an exciting one. Beckham is awesome, Sox aquire Peavey and Rios, and a perfect game from MB.

I noticed the team took over the RD championship (my roomate earlier this year liked to award the Tigers the championship based on Pythag) tonight.

+15 runs and 3 over .500 with a pretty easy schedule to this point. Not exactly what anybody is looking for, but that’s what sort of team this is.

Maybe if Q hadn’t gotten hurt and Peavey accepted the first time things would be different — and perhaps that gets to the essence of all this frustration — a division title while in a transition year is so damn close to happening and yet it hasn’t and might not because of just a few too many fuck ups.

It's very much like '04

outside of the hot start, the most excited I was in ’04 was just after the appearance of Angry Politte. I desperately wanted rid of Loaiza (a much better pitching version of Pods) and was excited to get something useful in return.

al central in visual format

tigers treading water since late june / early july, and the number of games over five hundred are progressively moving lower.

after a june and early july surge, the sox also have been flat-lining. the time to make a move is now, imo. continuing to tread water or, even worse, go on a losing streak will put a playoff appearance in substantial doubt.

twins and indians have interestingly mirrored one another since june. this inverse correlations (or symmetry) are not uncommon across mlb and, to me at least, interesting.

the royals. yeah, the royals. what can you say to a local royals fan? at least you’re not [living in] detroit?

rotf

my wife was switching between games this evening — she’s a cubs cultist, i’m a sox fan — and out of no where she says the sox are more “fun” to watch.

i gave the standard reply that one might to a semi-casual fan "yeah, the sox are more “likable” this year; they have more players you want to root for", to which she agreed.

then i dropped the hammer and said that when you watch the sox, opposed to the cubs, there isn’t a looming feeling of impending doom. this was pre-linebrink fail btw, but it proved to be prophetic in the end.

I didn't watch tonight's game

nor did I watch yesterday’s. I checked the score often and wavered between anger and confidence in both games.

I didn’t watch either because I didn’t want to see a blown game (like yesterday and nearly today).

I just caught a glance of Commision Burrell in another movie

Whoa....what?

Burrell was far more dangerous. He had no actual knowledge of policing strategy and attained the position because he was black and Royce’s buddy. Rawls, on the other hand, was a giant dickwad, but was an intelligent person, just obsessed with stats and a horrible politician.

They were both unlikeable the way they were portrayed, but the only characters I actually thought were truly “evil” were Clay Davis, the Greek, and of course Snoop/Chris.

and even those guys should be put to jail the rest of their lives, somebody else will take their place, b/c the city’s and brass’ approach to policing is so corrupt and malfunct. the brass and the city admin really really don’t give a shit about the people they’re meant to serve and protect, so i’m more aped up about them than snoop and chris, because snoop and chris are doing what they’re supposed to be doing.

I think the opposite has actually been supposed of Chris

He always seems to take care in reassuring the victim how quick and painless it will… which made the one notable exception all the more jarring…

You want a real mind fuck… watch that episode then follow it up by watching the (fantastic) movie The Savages, in which Chris plays an orderly in an old folks home. Impressive range.

OM, you make some excellent points

but to say he had ‘no’ actual knowledge of policing strategy is a bit of a stretch. but i’m assuming he was like rawls at some point before he was the token black police commissioner. so of course he has experience in policing strategy, it’s just that neither the mayor’s office nor the police brass give a damn about it.

i also don’t think chris or snoop were truly evil. they’re doing their jobs as soldiers for marlo (like weebay for avon), and they were pretty damn good at it, anologous to ballplayers with square jaws who bring their lunch pails to work.

the greek, marlo, and the drug lawyer (what’s his name?) are the axis of evil for me.

I dunno, in Season 4 when it's apparent Carcetti wants to fire Burrell

And he tries to look good, Burrell just orders up more quality of life arrests, more stathogging. Rawls at least realized the way they were policing was stupid, but was too wussy to upset the chain of command.

I think of Burrell in the same way as Valcheck. They are both stupid humps, but because of race and politics, they are the ones running the whole police dept.

What evidence is there of the fact that Rawls thought the stat based policing was dumb?

His whole MO in the first 2 seasons is the clearance rate. And after that, after his promotion, it’s the comstat numbers. This isn’t Daniels telling Carcetti that more cops, more arrests, more measurable stats is the problem.

I don’t think you are making a good argument. Everyone at City hall “shined shit and called it gold”, including the police brass. Putting some enlightened spin on Rawls’ “oh he knew better but was too week” seems misplaced IMO.

by madvillian on Aug 18, 2009 2:13 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm just going off what the show was giving us

Rawls understood the flawed way they policed, at least enough to try and make a play for the Commisioner. Burrell was the commish, knew Carcetti wanted him gone, and couldn’t think of anything original to stay in his good graces.

The Sox "need" Linebrink.

With an effective Linebrink, the bullpen is very, very good. Up by 3, it seemed “no problem, I’ll give him some work.” Didn’t turn out that way.

No doubt

my wife, who has watched about 10 games this year . . . flatly stated (before the HR), why are they leaving him in after walking 2 guys, isn’t there a lefty warming up in the bullpen. Linebrink is going to blow this game, I am tired of watching him. And again, she has watched about 10 games this year.

The Sox "need" Linebrink, Dotel, and Jenks.

If they’re all all effective, the bullpen is good.

Don't call it a comeback.

What they dont need is

blowing games in late August with a division title on the line. Leaving Linebrink in after he walked 2 batters, against a power hitting lefty, who can only hit RHP, goes along way toward what they dont need. They also don’t ‘need’ Linebrink and he certainly should not be facing anyone that represents tying or go ahead runs in the 8th inning. End . . . of . . . story. That was poor managing.

Dotel, Pena, Williams, Carrasco

It isn’t that important . . . you have guys for the 8th and 9th (normally). The starters get you 7 and you are set. If not, maybe you get more Carrasco or Williams, situationally. It really isn’t that much of a ‘need’. Ozzie can say whatever he wants about Linebrink, but there was a reason he wasn’t in there in the 7th when the lead was only 1 run.

i haven't noticed that. but here's what's not your imagination...

a Q update! (all figures only include his PA’s since his return from the DL.)

Q has taken the 1st pitch in his last 6 PA’s, his longest such streak (5 balls, 1 strike [one of the balls was a HBP])
in his last 3 games, over 13 PA’s, he has only swung at the 1st pitch twice, putting both balls in play (a bloop single and a 6-3 ground out)
so, over those 13 PA’s his 1st swing % has dropped from 42.0% to 38.6%, yet his P/PA has also dropped from 3.66 to 3.62 because 7 of those 13 PA’s have lasted just 2 or fewer pitches.
of his 101 PA’s, 34.7% of them have lasted no more than 2 pitches.

it is what it is......

A source close to Brett Favre said the quarterback, pending a physical, will sign a contract with the Minnesota Vikings for between $10 million to $12 million, according to ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.

Vikings coach Brad Childress confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press Tuesday morning that Favre was traveling from Mississippi to meet with the team.

If Getz was fit

would Pods still be DH? I guess he would now we have Rios, why they didn’t try Nix in a corner outfield spot I don’t know. Just looks as if he would be more than adequate, and i like him as a batter much better than Podsedniskzssxz or whatever the fuck he is called.

Beginning Wednesday, street light banners commemorating a series of special events in Chicago are going on the auction block for charity. Some of the banners were shown off Tuesday, including those featuring Pres. Barack Obama both before and after his election.
