juddling Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Checking out some of the Red Sox boards and chat as of late, they are mostly talking about a comback like last year vs. the Yank-me's. Dear Red Sox Nation....i give you four reasons why that will not happen: 1. No Pedro 2. No Lowe (single-handedly saved their asses last year) 3. No Foulke 4. Schilling isn't CLOSE to what he was last year Am i saying The Pale Hose are gonna sweep...no...baseball is a crazy game and yes...until they lose the third game..they have a chance..but the four big keys that got you the championship last year aren't around. GO WHITE SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 this is the weakest red sox team since 1998. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBetsy Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 11:50 AM) this is the weakest red sox team since 1998. Except for the fact that they won 95 games. This Red Sox team isn't to be trifled with. The Sox have their best matchup in game 3. Garcia pitches well against the Red Sox, on the road, and during the day. Wakefield has been owned by the White Sox over his career, and by Aaron Rowand in particular. When your opponent is drowning, you throw him an anvil. Game 3 is the f***ing anvil. This is a MUST have game. You can't give them any confidence. The Red Sox offense scares the ever loving crap out of me. And they could put up two 10 spots on Garcia and Garland in games 3 & 4 and they could shift the momentum in the series. Tough to win game 5 even at home when the other team comes off the ropes swinging and stings you with two shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have NO faith in Garland against the Red Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkalk Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 You forgot a few other reasons: 1) the White Sox play team baseball--the Yank-mes did not and still do not 2) the White Sox are the best road team in baseball 3) Freddy is awesome on the road 4) Freddy is awesome in day games 5) the Yank-mes were way overconfident last year when they were up 3-0, but the White Sox will be ready for the Red Sux, who will come out swinging Let's destroy them!

Wedge Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Additionally, consider our bullpen vs. the Yankees' last year and the quality of our starters against theirs. It'd be nice for Freddie to take care of them tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 lets not get too overconfident...remember, we are the white sox... game threes matchup is prolly the best we have , perhaps even better than game one was...if we lose it i'll be pretty dissappointed, because my nerves'll be gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I wouldn't be surprised if the Angels win the series vs NY. Facing the Angels in the ALCS would be a true challenge. K-Rod scares the s*** out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 i think it will be a very balanced series, if that is the way it ends up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 unfortunately, though, the media will pee pee all over themselves because it will be the biggest let down EVER for baseball playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBatterz Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I would rather face the Yankees next round. It seems bigger with them in it and I think we match up well against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
