As little as it is Greg, I don't think you should worry much.. I'm predicting Brian is going to get his first 3 hit game in his career in one of these series.

POPPY_HIDALGO Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Pretty obvious that the Sox will go in and sweep Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbieRubarb Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) Please be aware that Detroit's pitching also hasn't been at top form since the break. Besides Verlander shutting out KC on Saturday, Bonderman gave up 4 quick runs on Thursday and didn't have any control, Rogers gave up 5 runs in 4 innings and Zumaya gave up 3 runs in one innings on Friday and well the staff gave up 9 runs on Sunday, including star rookie Miner. All this against KC. Edited July 17, 2006 by RibbieRubarb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loltrain Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 The pitching wasn't great, but it wasn't that bad either. Yesterday Ledezma got bombed in relief, but considering he had 3 and 1/3 innings in the last month it wasn't too suprising. The only one who worries me is Rogers, as he seems to be leaving the ball up in the zone and giving up alot of homers lately. Anyways, here's to a great series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) Yup. We have an off day tomorrow. People are gonna be rested. I hope you're right - looked like both Dye and PK were tired/hurting. I know the flu has something to do with this and can weaken you for a few days at least, especially when you're playing major league baseball in the heat. The sox are out of sync so I'm not putting much hope into this 3 game series. They have the look of a team on a 7 or 8 game skid. Here's hoping I'm wrong yet again.

Baines3 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 This series is critical for us. I look for our Sox to go into Motown and give the Tigers a beating, a sweep is possible since we were swept out of NYC we need to make it pay back time and sweep the Motor City Kitties out of Detroit.

BFirebird Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Should be a great series and hopefully the power of the Rally Crede will propel the Sox to a series SWEEP!! Or at least 2 out of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Winning only one would not temper anything and cause more upheaval among the masses but I honestly would be content with this. We would then need to get going at home losses of 4-2, 3-1 and then a 6-1 win somewhere in the series is about what I am thinking. The important thing is for Vazquez to throw great for a change and Contrearas and Garland to have quality starts. If these happen I am fine with whatever outcome we have.

TitoMB345 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Come on Jonny Boy. I know you can do it. Start this series off right! I believe in you, more than I believe in any pitcher right now. DO IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) Just like last time we faced the Tigers, game 1 is the biggest game of the series. We win game 1, and for games 2 and 3, if anything goes bad, the Tigers go into "aw s***, not again, what is it about this team" mode...the same mode the Sox were in for about 4 years every time we went to Oakland. We win game 1, and either we go into game 3 looking to win the series with Contreras on the mound, or we get a good perfomance out of Javy and the Tigers are trying to avoid a sweep against Contreras. We lose game 1, and the Tigers feel a little bit more confidence, while the White Sox maybe start thinking "here we go again" after losing 6 of 7. Then if Javy doesn't come out and outpitch the Tigers' stud, suddenly we're looking at having to beat Rogers to stay out of the sweep. Game 1 is the key to this series. Jon Garland is the key to this series. It'd also be nice to get an early lead in game 1, but Jon must do his job. He's had plenty o' rest.

GoSox05 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) lets beat the living sh**t out of this team and remind them that were the team to beat. The Sox should be pissed off at what happened in New York and they should come out like fire breathing dragons high PCP. I know i am. minus the PCP.

You are correct. However, I get very salty when my team is playing like crap and I sometimes have trouble being polite to fans of opposing teams.
