BobDylan Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 12:15 AM) Vazquez has a 4.8 ERA lifetime against CHC, Dumpster has a 3.8 ERA lifetime against us. The difference is Vazquez has 83+ career IP vs. the Cubs. Dempster has 7 vs. the Sox. That measly 7 innings is probably bad news for the Sox. And most of us know how Javy likes to s*** his pants on the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Didn't AJ hit that 3 run homer in the 9th against Dempster to get the lead and then those low-life cubs fans trashed the field with garbage? Also, didn't Ross Gload begin that rally with a 2 out single as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Whose idea was it to make Dumpster a starter, lou or their GM? As much as I like Oz, Lou might be the best in baseball history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I'm worried about the Thome thing. I mean I have a real premonition he's gonna butcher it at first and give the critics one more thing to bury Oz on as well as cost us any chance of winning.

FranktheTank35 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I think we need a solid outing from our old Ace Javy Vazquez... he needs a return to form of sorts. Big time. Give 'em hell, Javy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Man I am pissed. I come into work and my cubicle and Sox decor is defaced today by Cubs fans, moreover I am pissed because I made a bet about this series, and they messed with my cubicle anyways. Win this one for me Javy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he hasn't exactly proved he thrives on the stage, but he hasn't s*** his pants on the stage, at least for us. Since Javy was here, he was bad for 1 half, the first half of 06. Lets be frank, most of the games in the first half aren't really on big stages. However, in the 2nd half of 06, when there was a whole lot more pressure on us and we were going for that playoff spot, Javy was our only pitcher worth a damn, and Javy was dealing against teams like Boston.

chw42 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) Let's not lose our 9th straight on the road... Before game 2 of the TB series a couple of weeks back, we were one of MLB's best road teams at 17-14. Now, we're 17-22.

He was bad either way. He had a ERA half a run better than the first half after the all-star break. But he was 2-8! Javy has shown to screw up when pitching in big games. He's no Freddy Garcia. Besides, Boston sucked that year. They were worse than us. Although, Javier was good against the Cubs last year. No record in 14 innings pitched with a 3.86 ERA and a .079 WHIP. Pretty good.

One game isn't worth him possibly getting injured and being out for an extended period. I am thinking Thome needs to start today and at least once in LA. He clearly doesn't bring much as a PH (I hope I can be proven wrong) and it isn't good for him to be relegated to that role for 6 games in arow. We won't see him back in the line up until Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
