kman Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 IM nervous for this series, i know theyre pitching isnt great but you can throw pitching out the window for this series. I dont know if our guys will try and just go for the homerun swing at every ab beacuse of the thin air and they havn't had experience at coors.

chisoxfan79 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I have had that same feeling about this series especially with our two best groundball pitchers (MB AND JG) not pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 We'll win the first two games of the series and then let them have the third one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Does anyone else actually think we should be playing the Rockies. But that's what interleague does, matches you up with teams like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By and large they are way better than vs the teams outside of your region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Why shouldn't we be playing Colorado? I don't see why so many people are opposed to playing interleague. Especially with all of the AL Central(minus the Twins) being crappy you at least get to see some better baseball. It's no worse than regular play honestly. I can't honestly see the difference or the bad part of interleague play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why they wanted to go out of the region so that the Giants and Dogders could play the Yankees, and other games like that. But still I just prefere the Central vs. Central also.

Jabroni Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Freddy Garcia starting and Shingo will likely be used out of the bullpen. Get ready for the longball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 It is going to be pathetic watching Uribe and Cruddy swinging at everything a mile out of the strike zone. They need no incentive to pull for the fences, and this park will only make them do that more often. Pathetic ....really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Crede gets on base anyways. He either hits a homer or does nothing. He may as well be swinging for the fences at Coors.

elrockinMT Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Probably just as easy to homer at US Cellular than it is at Coors. I think the team will continue to play their game and receive good pitching. I hope that we win all three because I am driving to Denver just to see the Sox play. Only regret I have is that Frank will most likely just be a pinch hitter. I'll be fine with that too, if he puts one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Uribe has spent enough time in Colorado to not be tempted by it. He will just continue to be a free-swinger. Crede is in for his defense which was pretty average today. Any hits he gets are just a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Ugly ugly series forthcoming with our flyball pitchers in Coors. Also a burnt out pen and a generally tired team. Regardless, Colorado isn't good and 2 of 3 is a MUST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
