    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

    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.

    A little strange, but not completely unusual

    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.

    Just scored 16th row behind home plate for $24/ea on stubhub.
    Here's to Mark B throwing another No-Hitter vs. The Rangers!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    This is exactly what I have believed, all along.
