Heads22 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 By Alex E. The White Sox will be looking to take a strong pitching performance from Jon Garland and Matt Thornton and translate it into a strong series showing with the Minnesota Twins. The White Sox will miss Francisco Liriano in the rotation for this series, but will face off against Twins ace Johan Santana in the middle of the series. READ MORE...

Balta1701 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I think I'm starting to say this almost every series, but Javier Vazquez's start, in game 1, is the biggest game of this series by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeman89 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 i thought this was interesting. Jul 20 Daily Southtown's Nathaniel Whalen reports Chicago White Sox SP Javier Vazquez entered play Wednesday, July 19, limiting hitters to a .228 average the first time up and .229 the second time through the order, but that number increased to .349 the third time batters have come up. The same scenario unfolded in the game Wednesday, as he worked five quick innings against the Detroit Tigers before allowing five runs in the sixth inning, with four of them coming on a grand slam. Vazquez said he is frustrated by the results even though he feels like he's throwing the ball well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 We really need to show the Twins that they cant hang with us and get a sweep right here. Not only would it put a safe distance between us and them but by beating a team on a run like the Twins has to be a huge confidence booster and for them losing 3 games after being so close would be a definite downer.

Bonderman38 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I don't think they sweep. 2 out of 3 for the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 I didn't think we'd predicted a sweep at all this year...so I went for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
