Ozzie Montana Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hopefully Contreras pitches a perfect game. The White Sox are 1-8 in the last nine against the Red Sox. It will be hard for Count to get a good grip on the ball. Temps as high as 100 with heat index of 110. It'll be hard to keep the sweat of the hand and keep that grip.

EvilJester99 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I think hoping for Contreras to pitch stellar against the BoSox is hoping for a lot...I think I saw Contreras' #'s are something to the effect of 1 - 4 and a 13.50 ERA...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering how a team can be both 30 games over .500 and getting less than 4 hits a game than any other team in the Majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringfieldFan Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Well, I guess for what its worth, every time Boston beats us in this series, the Athletics and their fans are saying "s***!". If they wind up 1 game out of the wildcard, I bet we are all happy the Red Sox took at least 2 here this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to to the game tomarrow be sure to bring your mit cause balls will be flying out of here. I only hope the majority is for the Southsiders.

Ozzie Montana Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Good thing for the White Sox is that Arroyo is on my fantasy team and whoever plays on or against the White Sox sucks. Hope this raises there chance of lighting him up. And no I dont have Konerko!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 KC pushed back Greinke a day, so we'll end up facing him on Monday. He always seems to pitch us tough. I mentioned this earlier, but if we lose that KC series, I have a feeling that a meltdown will be in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 First off let me say here I'm not comparing the Bosox offense to our's I'm just trying to make the point about the consistancy of our offense: Here's an interesting stat, i just used 4 runs, cause usually when teams with good pitching score 4 runs they're going to win. Anyways the Red Sox have failed to score atleast 4 runs in 28 of their games this year, the White Sox 30, and the Red Sox are said to be the best offense in baseball, i guess if our O is that inconsistant so is their's Also, the Bosox have been shut out twice this year, our sox 3 times.

I watch every game and I see us get 4 hits or less a lot. Our offense sucks and our pitching is great. I stated something that I believe from watching them play, not something for which I scrupulously looked up stats. I didn't say, "here, this is fact. Accept it!"

We have the lowest BA in the AL. We have the lowest OBP in the AL. The only way we score is if we hit home runs right now. Our hitters have no discipline at all. After working counts, fouling off pitches the next batter Uribe swings at the first pitch near the plate and grounds out. That is a microcosm on why our offense sucks right now. If we bang homers we look like world beaters. If the opposing pitcher can spot the fastball on the outside corner its over. BTW our offense lately is officially the same as last year. We score a lot of runs one night, then get 4 hit the next night. Edited July 24, 2005 by southsideirish71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a moral victory for us. Yes we are the second worst team in the AL to Seattle in BA and OBP. Sorry for the mispeak. 13th looks so much better than 14th I guess.
