drowninginflame Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 It's fair to say that this could be a possible World Series preview. The White Sox continue to roll along in the AL Central, but they face a tough challenge in NL West-leading San Diego. The Padres play very well at Petco Park, where they are 20-10. Also, Chicago will be without the DH. That means Frank Thomas will have to sit for the whole series, preventing him from getting some much-needed at-bats to get back into shape. Who's hot: Jermaine Dye. The White Sox right fielder is hitting .480 over the past week with seven RBIs. He's made a nice jump to .260 and is now a very productive bat at the bottom of the order. He's capable of carrying this team by himself. He's that type of a hitter. Who's not: Khalil Greene. The Padres shortstop has two hits in his last 30 at-bats and has been dropped from seventh to eighth in the batting order. Marquee matchup: Jon Garland (9-2, 3.40) vs. Woody Williams (2-3, 4.46) on Friday. Garland will try to become the second 10-game winner in the big leagues. He's on his way to starting the All-Star Game for the AL. Prediction: Padres win two out of three games. Glad the opposite happened, realistically we almost should be talking about a sweep, but we'll give Hermanson a pass, he's only human Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Just curious, what does this thread happen to do with "Ryno"? Is this Ryne Sandburg's column or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
