We need to get off to a quick start offensively. Its hard to catch Boston in Fenway. Freddy likes having a 2-3 run cushion to work with. So my keys are: 1. Quick start offensively 2. Freddy keeping the ball down 3. Stay aggresive- steal the bases, move the men over, hit and run exe.... We have nothing to lose.

Like I said before- we need to score 5+ runs each game to beat these guys. Fenway is an offensive orientated ball park, and Freddy will need the game of his life. I know his road record is like 10-3 and day record is like 9-1 or something like that. BUT you can throw that our the window. Boston will be pressing and hacking. If we can get an early lead- i like our chances in game 3.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 4, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) It's being debated at this time. We have 4 seats.. but then again that might be the biggest game in White Sox history- so you have a lot to think about!

an ESPN poll reported that 64% said that the Red Sox would win this series 36% said we will win the series. So we are definitely the underdog. But Ozzie said something that made me smile. He said: "In 2003 while I was the 3rd base coach in Flordia- we weren't expected to win 1 game! But we wen't to New York and won the World Series!"

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 4, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) We got offered $700 each for our seats to Sunday's game from Boston fans... a game that might not even be played. Oh i think it will be played. This series is going to 5 games.

Have you seen Contreras pitch in 2nd half of the season? Did you see him evolve into a perenial ace like the rest of us did? Enough said. He is our hottest pitcher. And comparing the Yankee version of Contreras to the White Sox version of him is like comparing apples and oranges. He is a very different pitcher now. We have been riding Contreras the whole 2nd half of the season- and the way i see it- why stop now?

Boo hoo Boston! Boo hoo New York!! Maybe if you guys would have beat the D-Rays and Toronto you wouldn't have to worry about making the playoffs. It looks like the Central shines in 2005.

Damn it would be funny as hell if we win tonite with this lineup!! Watch Joe Borchard hits 3 HRs today!

What a party!!!!! What a great day to be a Sox fan. I'm proud for the White Sox nation to stick in there through the tough times in August. Now lets suprise the world and do some damage in the playoffs!!! WHITE SOX.. WHITE SOX... GOOOOOOOO WHITE SOX!!!!!!!!!!! 2005 AL Central Champs! Gosh that sounds sweet!

Its official. If we win tommorow CSN just reported we win the Central division. BECAUSE even if Cleveland wins there final 4 games they will end up w/ a matching 96-66 record and SINCE the Yanks and Red Sox play each other also- it would be impossible for both AL East teams to match that 96 win mark. And since the White Sox own the head-to-head record (11-5) the White Sox would win the Central division and the Wild Card winner would go to Cleveland. So its official- our Magic # is 1 ! We win tommorow- we are the Central Division Champs!!!!!!! Woooohoooooooooooooo

Okay i'm not going to lie. I'm really f***ing excited. BUT.. I do realize that we made Robertson look really good, and we can do the same for Grilli. Freddy does good when we give him an early lead. The key to this game is for Freddy to avoid that BIG first inning. If that is accomplished- i like our chances. NOW LETS f***ING DO THIS THING!! GO SOX! GO D-RAYS!

Give me a hell yea for my boy Jose Contreras!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! And thank you Sweet Lou!

We need a healthy Pods. A healthy Hermy, a consistent DH (#3 hole hitter), re-sign Pauly, trade Marte and El-duque for anything, we need a new hitting coach, a lefty reliever, need to have Bmac in the rotation full time, and a 3B with more power. I love Crede lately but this is his last season here.

Well then- it looks like tonite is pretty much a must win! Take care of business damn it!

A win tonite and a loss by either Boston or New York pretty much gauruntees a playoff spot. And my boy the 'losing streak' stopper Jose C. is on the bump!! If our offense gives him a 2-3 run lead- i like our chances

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:55 AM) Because its the White Sox. good point. i guess we were made to suffer. maybe that is why we will never win the series?

why did we get geoff blum again? why didn't ozzie pinch hit AJ or Gload? Why do we leave a plethora of men left on base? Why can't we win down the stretch vs the division bottom feeders?

WAKE UP GUYS!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!! WE NEED THIS WIN! WHats with the half ass swings?

how about a RF drive to the seats. VINTAGE TADAHITO TIME!

i knew POds would blow it

:

This same pitcher did this last nite. Lead off walk- and he shut us down. I'm not getting my hopes up until we have 2 guys on.

living on a prayer :
