VAfan Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 It doesn't matter at this point in the season whether we catch the Tigers. The team that is going to make or break our playoff chances is the Minnesota Twins. BEAT MINNESOTA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I couldn't agree more. Tomorrow's game is huge for us. You don't want to lose the first game, and then have Santana lurking in game 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 It would be nice to get a hot streak going since I'm going to Baltimore to see them for 2 games next weekend. It starts now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderman Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 gotta hope for 2 out of 3 here....hopefully, the bats will come alive tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 This series is HUGE. These games are indeed now even more important for the Sox than last week's series against the Tigers. Let's hope Vazquez can give a quality performance for a change tomorrow. And I hope Ozzie puts some lefties in the lineup against Santana. Santana mows right through our all RH lineup.

Sonik22 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 does anybody have a Vazquez desktop backround? Its been my slumpbust for the past few days. I put a backround up with the starter pitching that day and garcia pitched good and garland was amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I just hope the team does the incredibly dull cliche and play it one game at a time from here on out. Big series or no big series we just have to worry about the Sox playing like they can. Pitching and defense baby. Day in and out from here on in the starters have to step it up like Jon did today.

The Ginger Kid Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I like the match ups, at least with count on the mound we have a chance against Satan. A slim chance, but a chance. If Buehrle could just....nevermind. Tuna the twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 We're going to give Santana his second loss of the season against Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of mentality that has the Sox 6.5 games behind Detroit. You do not HOPE for 2 out of 3. You SETTLE for 2 out of 3. You must EXPECT to sweep EVERY series from here on out. It's impossible to sweep the season, but a 6.5 game lead isn't going away overnight. The question is not in talent, the question right now is in the heart and desire this team has. Fish the Wild Card, man. Beat the living hell out of the Twins in the next 3 games, and then move on to the next opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look at 3 games and you probably will lose all 3. It's plod away one at a time like the Tigers have been doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's plod away one at a time like the Tigers have been doing. Yep. One game at a time, no looking too far ahead. The most important game of the season is the next one. Beat Radke tonight, worry about Santana tomorrow. GO GET 'EM, WHITE SOX!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 The last couple of days I have been paying more attention to the Yankees and Twins scores than the Tigers scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RME JICO Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) The Sox need to take advantage of this series. Minnesota is not that good on the road (19-30) and their pitchers have struggled on the road (all of Santana's losses have been on the road): Radke 1-5, 6.52 ERA, 1.99 WHIP, .396 BAA Santana 4-5, 3.51 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, .224 BAA Silva 1-5, 9.45 ERA, 2.10 WHIP, .394 BAA This is a great opportunity to gain back some games.

It will all now depend on if the Twinks can SWEEP the Tiggers for us .......... The SOX cannot lose 1 game.

VAfan Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 11:46 PM) Let's hope Vazquez can give a quality performance for a change tomorrow. And let's hope Ozzie gets his head out of his ass unlike the last game Vazquez pitched. Last night, Liriano was yanked after 5 innings in a 3-1 Twins victory. Had Vazquez been yanked after 5 innings his last outing, we could have easily beaten the Tigers 2-0 or 2-1. Ozzie has not adapted his managerial style to the team he is managing at the moment. He's still managing the team he wants to have, in which a well-paid starter like Vazquez can actually get to 100 pitches without blowing up, and can get through a lineup 3 times. We need these wins, Ozzie. Manage accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
