CWSGuy406 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Thanks, El Duque. Really nice to see him come through. I've wanted to root for him, throughout the year, even when he was giving us all heartaches. And now there's reason to. Regardless of what happens in the ALCS, that's a performance that will be remember by everyone. Thanks, Orlando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 That was just incredible! Duque was simply a god to get out of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkalk Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Marte had me worried, but Duque came in and got us out of a HUGE jam. Without him, Garcia has no chance for a win, and Jenks no chance for a save. The White Sox probably would have lost that game without Duque's performance. I'll be smiling for a long time. THIS IS f***ING AWESOME!!!! HELL YEAH!!!! DUQUE CWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt bear to watch during that inning so to pitch on that inning must take a lot of balls. Hands down for sure to Cool hand Duque!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SoxFan1 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I remember when in 1 of my high school games last season that my coach brought me in with the bases loaded and 0 outs and I proceeded to strike out the side and pitch 4 shut out innings vs Morgan Park....yeah, El Duque's feat is 100000000000000 times greater. Props to the DUKE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Just fantastic. El Duque is truly just one of those guys who can turn it on during the playoffs. He earned his paycheck for this year and next year with the pitching performance he put on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Props to the DUKE! Success like that at ANY level is to be congratualated! Those Morgan Park guys didn't just roll over and play dead. You are the only poster on the board who knows how El Duque feels right now. Great job by both of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 This is exactly why I favored ElDuque over Brandon, as much as I like BMAC, 6th inning at Fenway is no place for a rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 the bottom of the 6th was the most nervewracking 1/2 hour of sports i've ever watched. the gutsiest white sox performance i've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 The best part is I had to argue about KEEPING El Duque on the playoff roster on the thread on this message board a week ago. And. This. Is. WHY. El Duque is Mr. October. Great job by you and great job by KW and Oz keeping him on the roster instead of Brandon, whose future is in front of him.

hammerhead johnson Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 QUOTE(Y2HH @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 11:58 PM) The best part is I had to argue about KEEPING El Duque on the playoff roster on the thread on this message board a week ago. Hernandez sucked hard during the regular season. The people who argued against him did so for righteous reasons. Not that I ever made a case for or against him, I'm just saying. And now, he has somehow changed his terrible ways. Hey, I am all for it. I love it when a guy doesn't suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 How important were those 3 outs? Guillen decided to leave Freddy Garcia in at the beginning of the inning even though he had shown signs of losing his stuff in the fifth. Right on cue, Ramirez led off with a home run, almost a given at this point, to raise Boston's WPA to .410. Damaso Marte entered the game for the White Sox, a phrase that has given many a White Sox fan heart palpitations this year. True to form, Marte gave up a single and two walks, loading the bases and setting the stage for El Duque. The WPA impact of those three plays, by the way, was .055, .088 and .108. Each runner on base made a Red Sox victory that much more probable. El Duque went to work. The first batter, Jason Varitek, popped out to raise the White Sox's WPA from .338 to .440. The next batter, Tony Graffanino also popped out; WPA up to .558. And Johnny Damon struck out swinging on a wicked breaking ball he couldn't refuse. WPA up to .682. And just like that, Orlando Hernandez turned the game around, adding .341 points to Chicago's WPA in just three batters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
