    Not a good first outing for Thornton.
  2. a700hitter
    The pink hats are off doing family activities. Good riddance. I prefer hardcore fans.
  3. a700hitter
    He moves well for a fat man.
  4. a700hitter
    He's earning another start.
  5. a700hitter
    Nice strike em out throw em out DP. We don't get too many of those.
  6. a700hitter
    We will see. He is getting older, but he is adjusting his approach. I don't see him falling off a cliff anytime soon.
  7. a700hitter
    The numbers for the year are good so far and they will be good at the end of the year. That is what they pay him for.

    Their lineup is pathetic. When i heard some of the game on the radio, I didn't even realize the Yankees were at bat. They have a bunch of kids in their lineup. Sounded like a minor league line up. CC didn't get lit up. There were 2 big errors behind him and some bloop hits. He gave up 3 earned runs-- a good day for Lester.
  9. a700hitter
    Yep, god awful with that 2.33 era and a 0.92 WHIP 34 k's in 38 inning (8 k's/9) and 20 saves in 25 save opportunities. Yes, take him out and shoot him.
  10. a700hitter
    That looked comical.
  11. a700hitter
    It's all opinion. Barnes has not progressed at fast pace. I'll be happy if one of that group makes it to our rotation for a few years. Our pitching evaluation has not been a strength.
  12. a700hitter
    Hey iortiz, we are coming down to the wire neck and neck once again. LOL! Good luck today!
  13. a700hitter
    Doubs has done his job this year. I hope he holds up in the second half.
  14. a700hitter
    My opinion of Rubby and Webster is not as high as the opinions of others. I don't see either one as a future starter. Webster can't get through an order more than twice. I seem them as bullpen arms. As for potential starters, I am not seeing a lot of talent in our organization. We have position players, but we are not good at evaluating or drafting pitching. We have not been good at evaluating pitching for a while.
  15. a700hitter
    I think the guy they really want to get is Braun.
  16. a700hitter
    Yes, with Dempster being available in relief if Doubs runs his pitch count to 100 after 4 innings.
  17. a700hitter
    It's the Mets. Anyone they get is likely to be the answer to a trivia question some day. LOL! The don't sacrifice the future argument is bogus when it is used as a blanket excuse for doing nothing. Every team makes trades. most trades involve some prospects if you want to get an established guy in return. You are always trading on the future. The key is to be good at it, and try to keep most of your best prospects for your own team. The problem is that we have not been very good at this for several years.

    I don't know what is wrong with the guy, but it has been broken since September 2011. He's not a top of the rotation pitcher. In the playoffs if we get there, Buch starts game 1, Lackey game 2. Game 3 is up for grabs.
  19. a700hitter
    Exactly, which is why I find the whole don't sacrifice the future argument excuse silly whenever it is used. Most trades for established players involve prospects. I prefer to use them to get big names that will produce for a few years, not bullpen arms for 2 months. I think it is a higher and better use of those assets to get an established player for a year or two. All of that being said, the Red Sox hadto get a guy for the bullpen and that is what Thornton cost. It would be great if we could land Lee, because Lester is just not getting it done at the top of the rotation. Lee, however, is a pipe dream.
  20. a700hitter
    There is no narrative. I'll say it once again. I would have made the trade, but we did not give up no value. As Ital said, I'd like this trade if I was on the White Sox side too. What narrative are you arguing with me? I would have made the trade. What's your point? It's not the trade of the century for us.
  21. a700hitter
    And that is the nail on the head. We needed the bullpen arm, and they got a guy with some potential.
  22. a700hitter
    And isn't he still in the Tampa system? This is more s*** at the wall. I said that I would have done the trade, so I don't know why you guys are arguing with me. Are you against the trade?
  23. a700hitter
    For 8 ABs. You are throwing s*** at the wall with this argument. Jacobs is not close to ready for a 25 man roster spot in 2014.
  24. a700hitter
    Not with a guy from A-ball. It is just not done.
  25. a700hitter
    This doesn't hang together logically
