Capn12 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Had a pretty solid run last year on starting these things, and since everyone else is scared of Johan, I'll get us going here!! Santana (0-2, 5.71) vs. Buehrle (2-0, 2.25) Not the best track record against Johan obviously, but I didn't realize it was this bad last year: The crafty left-hander actually went 4-0 (16-7 overall), with two shutouts and a 0.92 ERA, in five starts against Chicago last season. The White Sox hit just .175 against Santana with 44 strikeouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I'd rather catch Santana now, since he's been struggling, than after he finds his groove. Which he undoubtedly will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which he undoubtedly will. No joke. I hope he struggles for one more game. Thome is due!! Nice avatar by the way, I have that poster on my wall. Thats a pretty nice thing for the Cubune to do.

RME JICO Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 This is a huge game. Two perennial Cy Young candidates facing off; the Sox are the hottest team in baseball 9-1 in last 10; and Minnesota always plays the Sox tough. Sox 4-2, Crede HRs. Lets keep the streak going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsoxmike59 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I'll be going to the game tonight and I'll be hoping for a better performance (from Sox hitters.....not Johan) than the last time I saw Santana face the Sox. Yikes he was dominating! http://chicago.comcastsportsnet.com/view_c...0p.asp?ID=13874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he is just having problems with his release point similar to what Buehrle went through at the tail end of the season last year. I guess when the release point is pretty messed up, your changeup starts to look like a BP fastball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I'll bet at this game tonight and I'm amped! Special thx to THE WOOD and Steff, for the hook ups. Santana has not been himself so far this year, but he has a way of stepping up against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the entire construction is over-hyped. From Tinley we got to the game in 30 mins, and got home in 25 mins last monday night. It wasnt bad at all.

If more people start to think it's not bad and decide to start using it again, you might see some delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
