NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Lets take this one and go into the Flubbs series on a high note. If anyone can do it MB can. RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Looks like the Sox will be taking another series win into the weekend series, when they will proceed to pillage the Deadly Confines (aka the urinal) for a sweep, a 5 game win streak, and hopefully a 7.5 game or better lead on the Twins! But first, there's the business of Mark getting his 7th win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 We'll worry about the Cubs when we get to the urinal. We still have a game against a good Texas team. Need this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 good thing is Dellucci doesnt start vs lefties and he really has hit us well, also Nix sucks vs lefties and even though he has same amount of HR's from both sides Blalock is a lot worse vs lefties too... I think the key players Mark needs to watch our for are Soriano and Mench. Mench has been hitting the ball really well this series and that one AB vs Garland he had like 10 foul line drives. Not to mention 2 HR's the 1st game. Soriano because he seems like the type of hitter that could take Mark deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Mark will give up some HRs tomorrow .... the key is can our hitting continue to score in the range of 5 to 7 runs....if yes, we will win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is no walks. Make them hit. The same strategy applies for the Cubs, but even moreso. If the Cubs don't hit homers, they don't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws Taking into account Mark Buehrle's last two day games at home, fans better not be late or they might miss the White Sox's finale against the Rangers altogether. When it comes to day games at home, the southpaw seems to waste no time getting his team a win. Buehrle's two day games at U.S. Cellular Field have lasted one hour and 55 minutes, and one hour and 39 minutes. The games are not just quick ones, either. In four day-game starts, Buehrle is 4-0 with a 1.72 ERA. Buehrle has struck out 25 batters in those games and only given up a total of eight runs. The game is also a big one for the White Sox, as the team looks to win its second in a row and clinch its 11th series win this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 (edited) Wow, Buehrle really does make the Rangers eat s***. Look at his sick career numbers versus Texas. Ryan Drese vs. Mark Buehrle @ Drese vs. Sox (career stats) Buehrle vs. Rangers (career stats) 4 starts 6 starts (1 complete game) 2-2 record 6-0 record 26.0 IP 45.2 IP 5.88 ERA 2.56 ERA 1.23 WHIP 1.05 WHIP .245 BAA .228 BAA 24 H 38 H 17 R 16 R 17 ER 13 ER 4 HR 6 HR 8 BB 10 BB 17 K 25 K GO SOX!!!

gettysburg32 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 45.2 IPs in 6 starts, so just short of 7 2/3 IP per outing for MB vs. Texas. That's very impressive (of course it's basically par for MB I guess. ) And 48 baserunners in those 45.2 IP....I luuuuuuuuv Mark. Prepare for a heaping helping of s*** on your way out Texas.

bjm676 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 The wife's meeting me for lunch at 1. With MB pitching, I'll miss the entire game. Let's go into the Urinal on a high note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I'm honestly convinced that one of the main reasons for Rowand swinging good right now is that he's no longer hitting behind guys like PK, Dye and Everett. Those guys don't have near the quality at-bats that Pods and Iguchi do. Thus, when Rowand gets to the plate, he's able to see more pitches before he hits and is in a better frame of mind.

Maybe, but I think he sees alot of good pitches to hit in general and doesn't get as much respect as Konerko or even Dye. Still with Pods and Gooch on base ahead of him, Rowand is gonna get some cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Umpire screws Buehrle on a pitch that clearly got a lot of the plate, and Texas gets two straight hits after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
