When the guy you're bringing in is Joe Nathan it can never be that bad a move to take a guy out. [/ QUOTE ] It's not like Nathan is a K-Rod or a Rivera. He almost blew the All-Star game this year.

[/ QUOTE ] nathan is just as good/better than them. lower ERA/whip than Krod, more K's than Rivera...they are in the same class, that's for sure. But you're right, the allstar game!!!!1

Re: taking out johan in the ninth
This was the best game I have ever been to in my life. The atmosphere was electric, players on both teams were laying out to make ridiculous catches and the pitching was nasty.
At the time, I didn't like the move to take Johan out, but in retrospect.....the White Sox had Iguchi, Everett, Konerko and Rowand coming up....all righties (everett a switch) who have the ability to hit the ball out over the short porch in right. Konerko hit a big HR against Johan just last week. However, against Nathan they basically had no chance. The weak-hitting Perez pinch-hit for Iguchi, hmmmm Nathan v. Perez or Santana v. Iguchi? I prefer the former. Everett has power from both sides, so no advantage there, he was able to draw a walk. Konerko/Rowand...they were simply overmatched. Neither one came close to hitting a pitch. There is a reason Nathan is our closer....we trust him in must-win games, which this most certainly was.

Re: taking out johan in the ninth
Santana is pitching better against R (.212) than L (.272) this year. Also, Iguchi and Konerko are hitting better against R this year.

I don't know, Nathan is pretty good, and for almost any other pitcher I would pick him to go in. But this is Santana. Finish the job, Johan.
