He’d purposely pull a 3-2 pitch outside the strike zone so MB could not have the perfecto. Just because.

sorry my limited knowledge of how waivers works comes from fantasy football... if you claim someone on waivers, the team your claiming from still has to approve it/get something in return?

They can approve it, relieving them of the contract; reject it and take him off of waivers; or negotiate a deal with the other team.

Every team can claim, starting with lowest in standings.
Lowest wouldn’t likely do that since they’d have to absorb his contract but for no purpose. They ain’t going anywhere. So he made it as high up the standings as the Twinks who rolled the dice.

So our "ace"
has given up like 16 earned runs in the last 2 games and 3 innings. How is it that the guy we just traded (Richards) is pitching better than this guy?
Are you sure?
I mean I hope you’re right but we wathced this in ’06. If Buehle decides to go on one of his “Oh my God I forgot how to pitch” stretches, we can kiss the division goodbye.
You're right. Every pitcher should pitch every game throughout the entire season near-flawlessly or better.
And you shouldn’t even stop to take into account the shitty defense or anything.
I wonder if we could straight up trade Buehrls for Richard.

by homesickalien on Aug 7, 2009 7:59 PM CDT up reply actions
Oh don't give me that crap!
You know darn well Buerhles had 1 and I mean ONE good outing in the last 4 starts and that’s the darn perfect game. If he’s our ace he should start pitching like one. We’re in a playoff race here. Gavin Floyd is pitching the best ball on our team right now.
He pitch fine in that one
He also blew up in a start against them before the All-star break. I don’t mean to rag on Mark. But I think we cut him too much slack sometimes. When he’s off he doesn’t even give us a shot. This is why he’s never won 20 games and I think he should at least be able to keep us in games when he doesn’t have it.
Wins? That's how you measure a pitcher?
"Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand."
— Leo Durocher
Wow.
Have you ever noticed how, like, Gavin, for example, goes out there and gives up one run and doesn’t WIN?
Does that measure his performance? Really?
So, are you concerned about Danks at all?
How ’bout that defense?

by homesickalien on Aug 7, 2009 8:15 PM CDT up reply actions
Im not saying wins mean everything
I’m saying giving up 5 runs in 4 innings against the Indians do. we not talking about Danks, we’re talking about our ACE here. My point is, when Mark is off, he’s OFF. He doesn’t even give the offense a chance to come back. That’s why he’s never won 20 games. I don’t care about the wins. I care about the losses that didn’t have to be losses.
Then blame the offense when they don't provide run support and the defense when they extend innings and allow baserunners
that didn’t have to be baserunners.
You are wrong.

Pretty sure he did alright that game where he broke that record and whatnot.
And when Gavin sucked, Buehrle did not. It ebbs and flows. Why hit the panic button? We all knew Richard was hot when we traded him, so big surprise there.

by homesickalien on Aug 7, 2009 8:10 PM CDT up reply actions
I guess because
only the Sox can win series against the Yankees and Angels and possilbly wake up 48 hours later to be 3 games out of first and actually lose ground. These games count and the schedule gets tougher. We need to hold it together before peavy gets back and watching Mark suck lately and against the Indians just makes the road tougher
Thanks for explaining the part about being in a division race and how it's better to be winning.
Any starting pitcher who is “off” doesn’t give the team a chance. How is this specific to Buehrle, I wonder.
Yes, we need him to have mostly quality starts going foward. But that can be said for Danks, Floyd, Contreras, hell, even Torres and Peavy. Not to mention the bullpen, our offense, and again, the defense.
If we don’t win the division, I’m not going to point to Buehrle’s rocky starts.
In fact, if Buehrls “gives up” 5 runs in 7 or 8 innings, I could even blame the offense!

im confused actually. i think we're supposed to hunt him down and give him a purple nurple.
not sure how else we show we’re not cutting him slack.
I love how no one has any memory of Clayton Richard being complete trash other than his last 2 starts for the team
And if you’ve followed the Sox for the past, say 8 seasons, you know Buehrle goes through these stretches where he can’t locate his pitches and teams kill him.

It's just criticism
But you’re called a bandwagonner if you call it like you see it on Buerhle. He’s had a rough go of late. That’s all. No one is saying trade the guy but he’s been pretty bad giving up a lot of runs with the exception of the perfect game. It’s not like he hasn’t done this before in other years. and that could hurt the team’s chances in the division. That’s all I was saying.
Nobody is claiming he has been lights-out since. You said more than just "Mark sucks lately."
Also, a perfect game pitched by one of your guys, and a very beloved one at that, is worth a lifetime of watching baseball.
If we don’t win the division, I’ll still have and remember and love that moment of the season. Forever.

Need a quick BB
One catch (and 1 hit) does not make you a major league player... or does it?
Pods- or Nixpalm to set it up?

Is Torres on a low pitch count tomorrow?
I didnt see the report yet, but I am assuming he is on a short leash tomorrow considering we have barely used our bullpen the last 3 days.
I go home and get in her face - Pods
I can has runs? Pretty please with a cherry on top?
That ball hit deep! Way back! You can put it on the boooaaaard...YES!
Long drive into deep right center field! This ball is OUTTA HEEERRRREE!

oh fuck.
perez coming in. jermaine’s life is in danger. this motherfucker lost his release point as a youth and has never found it.
it is what it is......
It's not like he is gonna throw at his head or anything, right?
I go home and get in her face - Pods
one game I do remember is perez' debut... fucking loved it
Took 3 years to find out about disco demolition night.
2 hits in 9 innings since last rime we saw him.
But what about F-I-E-L-D-E-R-S?
The 3-0 is hard on the sphincter? That's what I heard, tho I can't recall how he got to that...
Followed by a mumbled “I wish I could cuss,” to end before the pitching change.

You have to ask?
One catch (and 1 hit) does not make you a major league player... or does it?
i will throw large heavy objects if at least one of these runs doesn't score
Once a Dawg, Always a Dawg. How Sweet it is!
anyone know what the probability of scoring a run is
with the bases loaded, 0 outs, and a 2-0 count?

Wow, so the media is beginning to release that it was the White Sox that claimed Rios.

I just recently switched to whiskey
before that last inning, thought it was working for a bit. Boy, was I wrong.

Another winnable game.
But what about F-I-E-L-D-E-R-S?
Buehrle's the worst pitcher ever, no wonder he can't win 20 games
Clayton Richard could win 98 games with nothing but Jayson Nix backing him up.

confused about pinch hitting wise and pinch running getz.
why not the other way around? and, on the off chance the sox tie the game there, with nix taken out, who plays short? who plays second? who plays third? i guess we’ll never know.

Just read on MLB trade rumors that the Highland Park Bandwagoneers have DFA'd Mark Buehrle to make room for Calvin Richards
To which I say, fuck you, bandwagoneers! It’s time for refreshing drink. We get them back tomorrow in the ass. In the ass in the asssssssssss

Real interested to hear everyone's thoughts on this Alex Rios rumor.....
as linked above Buster Olney is reporting that it’s most likely the White Sox who put in the claim.
What do you guys think?
Rios obviously has a ton of talent but I am not blown away by the numbers (especially this year).
I notice the Jays play the older Vernon Wells in CF……is Rios a decent CF?
If the Jays let Rios go this seals JD’s fate with the Sox post ’09……then Rios likely plays CF in 2010 and then ideally shifts to a corner OF spot if Jordan Danks is ready in 2011.
Rios will make 9.5 mil next year and then about 12-13 mil through 2012.
I think it would be a bad move
for the kind of money he’s due over the next few years, you might as well re-sign Dye and go after a legit CF in offseason

i loved him a few years ago have a hard
Time believing the Sox would pick him up unless his salary is swallowed by the Jays

tivo game. in 3rd inning.
wtf? didn’t we fucking talk about this shit?
also. nix isn’t supposed to suck at 2nd. also alexei being lazy when catching nix’s throw was fully expected.
more to come.
They'd be adorable, I'm sure.

heee. i really did think they would come back. chris fucking perez. man.
no idea why i described my taint as lumpy though.
Trooper, this was awesome.
If I hadn’t drunk myself into a coma and eaten about fifty McDoubles, I’d have been right with you there.
My roommate once responded to being ripped on by saying “Lick my sweaty taint”. Lumpy is funnier though.
