81- I blame Ozzie. Never put a closer into a non-save situation.
I don't know what situation you are referring to but that is not true
tie game in the ninth inning when you're at home you do because there is no save situation at that point for the home team.

For some reason, closers tend to falter in non-save situations.The Sox were up 5-1 when Jenks came in and he gave up 3 runs and got the last 2 outs with the bases loaded

I know it's absolutely fucking ridiculous, but Ozzie needs to stop putting Jenks in these situations. For some reason, this fucking guy has an easier time closing a game out when it's 5-4 instead of 5-1.

Jenks time is over. It's time to move on.
Sox are throwing their season away. They have talent and potential, but are going nowhere. Something major needs to be done and before the all-star break.
So I picked up Juan Pierre off the scrap heap in my fantasy league because Grady Sizemore went down for me. Always loved Juan Pierre, was calling for the red sox to get him back in 2002 when we went after Johnny Damon. So what does he do in his first game in my lineup? 0-5. Thanks Juan.

Ya, IF i ever go back to the Cell for a game again, I'm buying day of and on stubhub.
The Rangers were hitting up a storm, Beckham forgot to cover 2nd and Kotsay is a joke of a DH
looked like gordo was headed to the infield to take a relay throw since the pitcher went home to backup the catcher.
the sox are painful to watch. either no hitting and good pitching, or no pitching and good hitting, with the occassional bad pitching and bad hitting game tossed in for good measure.

How things have changed, in just 2 short months......
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
ya 81 the Sox are a joke- it's time to trade Konerko and Bhuerle
and Speedy- ya wayyyyy off there
At least you have some players you can trade....
The Cubs CANT dump anyone....They are in contract HELL!!!
I cant wait until we find out the TRUTH about Zambrano..Why was his dumbass REALLY put in the bullpen?
Unless the Sox have a miraculous turnaround in June, they need to start trading everybody. What a fucking joke this team has turned into.
That's true with the Cubs. They are so backloaded with terrible contracts that it is amazing Jim Hendry still has a job.
I don't think anything happened with Zambrano goin to the pen. I think it was just another indication of how fucking clueless Hendry and Piniella are. They need to clean house. They should have done it before this season with the new owners for a completely fresh start.
Baseball is so depressing in Chicago. Thank God for the Hawks!

There has to be more to it...
Taking your $18 million a year "SO called ACE" and moving him to the bullpen?? In MAY???

You would hope there is more to it because if there wasn't, the guys running this team are out of their minds.
One theory I heard was they put him out there to drive him nuts so he would request a trade and waive his no trade clause so they could get rid of that awful contract.

6 weeks into a season, you pretty much know what you have...and the Sox don't have much.
Danks threw a gem and they fucked it up
Bring in Santo
i'd also like to add that Gold Glove winners don't balk...let alone 2 in one game! Joe West is a POS
Ozzie didn't put him in.
Joe West sounds famalier. seems like he was involved in other controversies
I went on his wiki page and there is a pic of him tossing Ozzie in 2007. Fucker holds a grudge
Yeah, him and Ozzie always seem to get into it. You'd know him if you saw his fat face....the guy is a fucking slob.
I didn't see the highlights yet, but I can't imagine Buehrle having 2 balks in back to back innings.
But, I guess it's nice to win 2 series in a row. But now 4 in Tampa....that might not be pretty.
I don't know what situation you are referring to but that is not true

A little strange, but not completely unusual

Here's to Mark B throwing another No-Hitter vs. The Rangers!
not bad at tall.
where do you pick up the tickets?
brilliant. i need a portable printer. i was looking at tickets to a bulls game and the prices just cratered as game time drew near.
The Rangers were hitting up a storm, Beckham forgot to cover 2nd and Kotsay is a joke of a DH
looked like gordo was headed to the infield to take a relay throw since the pitcher went home to backup the catcher.
