Nah, unfortunately I can't have a car down there yet so I have to do all that by train and because of that I'm staying home until thursday night and I get back to Carbondale Friday morning at 1 and I have a 10 o'clock exam on friday(that should be fun). Where are your guys seats tomorrow??? Maybe I'll stop by. Edited October 5, 2005 by Rowand44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxRock192 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Oct 4, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) This is the one game that scares me...a lot. I am afraid Wells might just completely shut us down and Buehrle does what he usually does vs. Boston. PROVE ME WRONG SOX Hope they do. Wells is inconsistent, so he cant be trusted Wells: Buehrle: :finger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin57 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Bunting will be critical, especially early on. One article this morning said that the Cell's ground crew had the area around home so wet that it did not dry the entire game. Got like that!

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 The key for today will be: MATCH THEIR INTENSITY. Boston was not just beaten, but humiliated yesterday. Look for them to come at us like a bull with a rocket up it's ass. We have to match that intensity and hold our groung, especially in the 1st and 2nd innings. Another possible factor is rain delays. They must stay UP for the game even if there are delays. It's all mental from here on out boys, it's all mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 08:32 AM) Which we can also use to there advantage. They are a smart baseball team, and have OBVIOUSLY been in the postion before, however, with the beating they took last night,they could be pressing a little more. Mark needs to take advantage of that. That's one way to look at it. Didn't the Yankees beat them like 19-0 in one of the 3 playoff losses last year? This is far from over, the Red Sox will probably come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxMatt Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Go Figure, Boston is favored to win the game today...NO RESPECT!!! Also lets play a game WIth the Sox playing Game 2 tonight, How many people will show up for the Hawks season opener vs Anaheim??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 The White Sox cannot let up. Buerhle needs to go out there and pull a Count. The Offense needs to pick up where they left off and not have a drought today. Today is a must win game for the White Sox. GO WHITE SOX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 This will be the game to decide the series. If you look at Wells down the stretch he's given up mostly 3 runs over 7 innings. I would expect him to do at least that today. He's a gamer so he's capable of pitching a gem as well. In general we have matched up well against LHers & when you consider the LHers in the ALC that's saying a LOT. vs LHers: 1382AB, 202R, 55HR, 64D, 7T, 271A/782O vs RHers: 4114AB, 536R, 145HR, 189D, 15T, 260A/736O If Mark produces a QS today the White Sox should win. If he doesn't the series will be tied 1-1. Best to put the 14-2 game behind & get back to thinking of this series as a dog fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Its a tough match up for Buerhle. They seem to have his number, but it is the playoffs. Hopefully he'll be at his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Ok so Wells faced us once this season, giving up 5R, 3ER with 0BB's and 5K's in 6.2IP. But here is some good news, Wells away from Fenway this season, 5.56 ERA with a .327 BAA. Unfortunately he's much better in night games with a 3.86 ERA. He's had a 4.45 ERA since August though, so he hasn't been in great touch. The key to hitting him, get runners on. He doesn't walk a lot of guys, but with runners on, he has a 8.54 ERA, with RISP a 10.76 ERA, and a 22.24 ERA with RISP with 2 outs. Looking at his pitch count, get on him early. For his 1st 45 pitches, he has an ERA of about 5.70. For the next 30 pitches however, that comes down to about 2.1. Mark's just gotta keep the form from his last 2 games going into today's game. 10-2 at home with a 2.48 ERA is an excellent stat to look at. Looking at his starts against the Red Sox though, he has a 5/3 BB/K ratio in 2 games. Not good enough at all. Compared to a team like Cleveland where that stat is 29/6 for a K/BB ratio (2.45 ERA against them), my thoughts for Mark Buerhle having success tonight is simple. Strike out some hitters.

Ozzie Montana Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) Tear these BOSOX appart!!! Keep them on their toes on every play, keep the intensity up, and White Sox fans...let them hear it. I loved yesterday's crowd, hopefullt this one will be as good.

I like our pitching match ups the rest of the way out. Our bullpen is also much stronger than theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our bullpen is also much stronger than theirs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think you are completely dissing the momentum shift if they were to win today. They have Wakefield vs Garcia in Boston & Schilling vs Garland in Boston. Their starters only need to pitch as good as 7IP/4R for Boston to have a chance to win the next 3. Our starters need to pitch as good as 7IP/3R. On the flip side if we win today .. that kind of momentum behind Garcia & this club is very capable of producing a sweep against Wakefield.

I know the mo shifts back to the BoSox if they win. I just believe our pitching is good enough to overcome it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) Someone said in a thread earlier "it feels like Christmas!" I emphatically agree. The anticipation for victory feels very much like that of when you were a kid & dreaming of getting that present you coveted so much. http://www.prosportsdaily.com/mlb/red-sox/ As an adult the joy comes from reading out of both the winner's & loser's circles. Enjoi ! Aside: I'm collecting papers from all the cities the Sox play. Transplanted friends are helping out. For this series that includes Time, Herald, Southtown, Trib, Bos Herald, & Globe. At year's end they will be sealed in plastic & preserved as keepsakes. We did the same thing with the Bears & all of the Bulls championships. It's fun!
