  1. Not even the best on our team. It's debatable, but I'd still give Marmol the nod with the best stuff. although lately, I trust Woody more.
  2. Well that must have been a shamworthy striking out of the side. No way could it have been earned.
  3. I can't see this, is my man crush throwing filth right now?
  4. Well at least Woody gets a SVO! Although it's a Meaningless "Budhouse 3 run" save, but a save nonethless.
  5. What is the purpose of fontenot on this team? (other than to ensure Woody gets a SVO)
  6. its nice that lou is really open minded about things. it seems like a lot of people in baseball are just stubborn and the exact opposite of him. It seems to me that keeping Fukudome in the five hole for as long as he has despite it being quite obvious he shuld be elsewhere is a sign that Lou is pretty stubborn himself. Yea The Riot and his close to .400 OBP was stinking up the joint in the #2 slot all year Tomy.
  7. (she said) No clue. No reason for him to be though. Yes there is. A HR.
  8. In case Howry gives up a Bomb and it turns into a save opportunity?
  9. Lee JUST missed it. But we get another Aramis at-bat! Is one more HR greedy?
  10. Yea but the pitcher abuse research shows it's high stress pitches that are worse for a pitcher than just pure pitch count right? I don't think he's had a high stress inning this game. 96 pitches? Send him out and have someone ready.
  11. Imagine that happeneing in the Baker regime.
  12. It's a low leverage situation, let him work his control out here.
  13. Hopefully using him in a low leverage situation will help him get his control back...
  14. Jim Thome is the only white sox player I like.
  15. Just remind yourself he's a Bears fan too. Yea him introducing Monday night football in 06 was definitely a very cool thing when he put on the Bears hat!
  16. Obama being a White Sox fan definitely hurts me.
  17. How much is gonna cost this off season if he keeps this type of performance up? How much does a sham closer go for? Budhouse?
  18. He's 3rd overall in pitches thrown in relief work. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/pitching?split=128&league=mlb&season=2008&seasonType=2&sort=pitches&type=pitch3&ageMin=17&ageMax=51&state=0&college=0&country=0&hand=a&pos=all But he doesn't average a huge number of pitches per IP at least. Not even in the top 200 @ 16.5/IP. He has a lot of quick low-stress innings. To be fair, he jumps up to 81st when you make the minimum 20 IP. Well you are accurate, but that would still indicate to me that his use has been in no way "reckless" like many are trying to claim it to be. Lou has his share of stupidity and bad managing just as EVERY manager does, but if there is one thing it seems that he doesn't do, it's recklessly abuse pitchers.
  19. What a difference a year makes in attitude around this place. In a good way. :lol:

  21. I think everyone is just a bit freaked out by his appearances over the last coupel of days. I didn't have a problem with Saturday at all, but yesterday was a bit perplexing insomuch as I thought he should have been gone after getting the 3rd out in the 7th (or was it the 8th? I don't recall). I'm a bit freaked out by his usage for the past year. It's been reckless. No, it really hasn't.
