Our Boy Lohse

[8-Ball]

Same sh*%@!, different day. Well, once again Lohse does his best to give a game away. We score 3 in the 1st, and he promptly gives them a 3-spot right back. God I am tired of this loser! His stats so far this season: innings-17, hits allowed-22,13 runs given up, 6 hr allowed, a putrid 6.62 era, and opponents are batting .310 against this bum. Same thing, game after game. I can't stand it.

You know, I looked at the score and it was 3-0 and I was just about to come one and post how nice it was KC still had a 0 on the board and a nice lead for Lohse. Well, before I could write it, I check back and its 3-3. No post written. Either he needs to go to the bullpen or to AAA.

[8-Ball]

A-Men. Next inning he hits the first guy up, then throws a wild pitch to the next batter. At least they yanked his butt off the hill after the wild pitch. Now maybe we have a chance...

[Down to Earth]

Radio guys are saying he left with shoulder soreness. Should hear more tomorrow on injury status.

[8-Ball]

Good- Maybe they will put him on the DL-I guess the extra couple days off between starts and the "re-tool" in the bullpen session to get his problem(s) corrected did not change anything. I didn't think it would anyway..

[buzzsaw]

I agree he is a sickness!!

[Dotch]

Headcase. Maybe waterboy...no wait, he'd probably find a way to screw that up!

[8-Ball]

Mid-inning reliever at best-(when we have at least a 4 or 5 run lead). At least we pulled it out. K.C. is dreadful, but a win is a win is a win. What happened to Rincon out there?

[Dotch]

I dunno. He's had a couple rough outings lately, remindful of some of his earlier days. As you say, a dubya is a dubya; 1st sweep in KC since August of 2001!

oh man does lohse stink. get rid of him gardy. the sweep was nice, i think i need to go out and get a couple new brooms

[8-Ball]

I don't think they can or will dump him. They would have to find someone dumb enough to pay his ridiculous 2.1 million salary. Look at his numbers. He's not worth 10% of that. We are stuck with him. So Gardy, please put him out to pasture in the pen. Anyone else would be an improvement at this point. He's over and out. Looks terrified on the hill. Sit him down...

[Mudcutter]

I agree that Lohse has had better days. But those better days he OWNED the white sox. Look at his records agst them. lately he has struggled, but keep him around for a while longer. I believe Lohse will come around.

[Shorelunch]

It's time for Mr. Loshee to take a trip to Rochester. He couldn't get the Medina Mets t-ball team down on strikes right now. There's gotta be someone in A ball who can through it across the plate, right?

[8-Ball]

Lately? It is going on 2 years now. That is how the arbitrator determined the ridiculous raise he recieved. On his stats from the '03 season. He has been a flop ever since the start of last year. Even the games he won, most were won because our hitters bailed him out from immediately being behind 3-0 or 4-0. I hope he is on the DL for a long time. Maybe someone else who really wants the ball and knows how to put it over the plate will step in and take his job. Best case scenario IMHO. 8-Ball. Oh, and Gardy: Keep Punto at 2nd and let Rivas ride the pine. He doesn't deserve or apparently want the 2nd base job. Punto does. See the play he made the other day to end the game at K.C.? 'Nuff said.

Hopefully while he is on the DL, Mays will be in the 4 spot and someone from AAA will step in to be the 5th-spot starter. You're right about 2nd base. Rivas does about zero to help the team offensively. Defensively he is adequate, but I think Punto is just as good a fielder as Rivas. That and he plays hard nosed. People will say he isn't a good hitter either, but at least he comes up with a hit that means something once in a while. The guy can bunt too, I wouldn't even feel comfortable with Rivas trying to make a sacrifice.
