Bias Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hopefully they're not buying into all they hype of the Angels being tired etc. It's the freakin' playoffs anybody truly believe the Angels are going to come in and lay an egg? They are a scrappy team and they are going to play their asses off. Sox best expect the best Angels team to take the field 'cuz if they don't Sox just might be down 0-1. Hopefully, the Sox will come out like gangbusters and make the Angels FEEL tired as Contreras shuts them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 06:29 PM) I luv your research. Yeah I try to do it every time before the game, just really interested to see what we need to do against the opposing pitcher, such as when we faced David Wells, when we got runners on, we HAD to bring them in because he's terrible with any runners on, when he lets them on because he doesn't walk a lot of people. Unfortunately I'll be going away for a week for a vacation (really need to recharge before end of year exams), but this place I'm going to pretty sure has cable with Fox Sports so I think I'll be able to watch most of the games on there hopefully. I think we're going to come out and really do some damage on Byrd though, but our guys can't go in with the mentality of swinging for the fences every AB, even though we've done an excellent job with the long-ball so far. Get to that pen nice and early in this series. Everyone talks about how good the Angels pen is, well the big 3 of Donnelly, Shields and K-Rod haven't been at their best so far. Kelvin Escobar has done pretty good being put into relief so he could be a big wild-card for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) We have to win these first 2 games while their pitching is depleted. They'll be throwing out their worst. A split in Chicago is a loss. Edited October 11, 2005 by nitetrain8601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already burnt up Edwin Santana yesterday, and they would either have to bring in Washburn a day early, or rag their bullpen out for more than they usually would.

A split, yes, is essential, and of course, I would love a 2-game lead going to LA, but I wouldn't count a split as a loss. Confidence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loss doesn't occur until LA wins 4 games, but a split wouldn't instill much confidence around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if Washburn isn't on the hill in game 2. But still, even if we do split, we've got the confidence to win games on the road, which this team has done all year long, so it's not like we should start hanging ourselves if we don't win both of the 1st 2 games. It would be very nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I just want to say this has to be the biggest moment in my White Sox fandom. This is the sort of thing you live for when you have put sooooooo much time, money, and effort into your ballclub. I'm counting down the hours. White Sox in the ALCS...................YES!

bjm676 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I see that Christensen and Yan weren't on the 1st round roster for the Angels. I also realize that Escobar was hurt for awhile for the Angels. I wonder if Sciosia will send him out in Game 2. Otherwise, they're screwed. Me likey. Let's do this Count!!!

SpringfieldFan Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I don't know, at this point I don't think its even worth analyzing trends and matchups on paper. The 14-2 drubbing of Bostond convinced me that playoff games take a nature of their own, regardless of past history. Its a good thing too, because this will be the fourth time this year the Sox will look to win their ninth in a row. You know what happened the other three...

Either one or both of those 2 pitchers will almost certainly be added to the roster today. If Colon's exam says he won't be able to pitch at all...both will be on there, but 1 of those 2 will probably replace Devannon anyway, just because the Angels staff is so worked.

bmags Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 unlike the previous times we were going for our ninth straight win...the mindset has to be different...we aren't saying...keep the streak, we are saying...lets get game one.
