Balta1701 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well, we salvaged a split. At least we did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Horrible, horrible, horrible series. However, we picked up a game on the Twinkies and FINALLY got Mark his 10th win, so I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'll take it anyway we can get it. Props to the Royals, though. They'll be solid if they can find some pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's being a lot more careful with men on base. I can live with the solo homers if he gets the ground balls and pop ups with men on base. He's making progress.

However, we picked up a game on the Twinkies and FINALLY got Mark his 10th win, so I'll take it. For the series, we lost half a game. The Twinkies went 2-1 while the Sox went 2-2. I just hope the Sox play up to the competition vs the Twins. This is going to be a huge series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Scott Elarton is decent. He gave us fits last year with Cleveland. We made Runelvys Hernandez look like Cy Young. A win's a win at this point, although we made it a little too interesting with MacDougal and Jenks both giving up runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I posted it in another thread but gotta get in this one as well...props to BA for that cutoff to keep the tying run on 3rd. 2nd time this year he's made a nice play out there in the 9th that eventually avoided Bobby having a BS.

Balance Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Why do they always have such trouble with the crappy teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I won't complain about the win whether it was close vs the Royal or not. A win is a win. Time to step it up again next series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonik22 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 had to follow the whole game on the road cuz my dad wouldn't put the radio on. im in carbondale now, were moving my bro into college 2moro. Glad to see the win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 something tells me the Sox won't be taking the Royals lightly in September in KC. In fact, I think they'll be packing the whooping sticks after a humiliating 4 game split. good win. Bury the Twins this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 A win's a win. I wasn't able to watch it, but I felt a sense of relief when DeJesus went to 2nd on his hit. I would much rather face Sweeney than Grudz in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time in a long time that we've faced the royals and you'd rather pitch to sweeney than anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguy79 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 My ulcers can't take this against the Royals, it is only going to get tougher. I hate facing the twins in important games down the stretch, gives me bad flashbacks, and hopefully we don't face radke many times in our series, I remember a few 1-0 losses between Radke/Loiza a few years back.
