WSoxMatt Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Well I got us one Saturday, so why not start it up for Sunday...We just need 5 perfect innings from Javy then let the pen close it out!!! We wanted 2 of 3 and we gotta win Sunday for that to happen!! Pablo will have 3 hits vs Johan!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Lets Go Sox, sadly I'm unable to watch my first game in a while because I'm attending my first year of college in southern Illinois. But I'm still representing the White Sox proudly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm still representing the White Sox proudly. It's been about 4 years since I moved from Carbondale, but try the Cellar or Mugsy McGwire's, they both used to get MLB extra innings and show Sox games. You have to be 21 to get into the Cellar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Prove me and the 9 out of 10 Sox fans that are chalking up a loss tomorrow wrong Javy. I'll be watching, if we somehow could win it would be muy grande. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) We've got to find a way to win this game. I'm sick of always saying "Oh well. It's Santana. It's OK that he keeps raping us." Edited August 20, 2006 by Jordan4life_2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I saw this yesterday on Santana; The blister on ace Johan Santana's middle finger isn't expected to be fully healed by Sunday's scheduled start against the White Sox. Santana, who has been receiving light therapy to try to harden the skin, is still expected to make the start. He's dealt with blister issues since his days in the minors. Just maybe, it will affect him and we may actually get a hit or 2 off him for a change. Huge game though. Will give us a 3 game cushion, instead of 1, and these are the type of games we probably don't expect to win when you look at the matchup, but if we can, then it's quite a breakthough in terms of our season.

Greg Hibbard Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 It's not just that it's Santana... It's that it's Santana at home (where he's 5-0 with a 0.73 ERA in his last 5 starts) against Javier Vazquez Sorry guys, but today...we gone I hope I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Why does it seem like every series against the Twins, somehow Santana ends up facing the Sox? Not looking forward to the game, but "that's why they play the game" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beck72 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 My take on today's game: A loss won't hurt the Sox. But a win could be HUGE. The Twins absolutely need this game, with their ace going vs. the Sox #5 SP. Yet the sox could lose and still be in decent shape heading into Detroit.

Dick Allen Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hopefully Santana's blister will prevent him from being anywhere near 100%. This could be a big boost to the Sox if they beat him. Chances are they won't, but I'll watch it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Here's the thing next weekend the matchups will likely be Radke - Vazquez Santana - Contrearas Silva - Buerhle 2-4 could be very likely aginst the Twins. Radke didn't really get beat by the Sox more than the Twins defense. At some point they need to hit Radke and Santana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxMatt Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) Twins have won Santanas last 21 starts at home. 13-0 this season alone!!! (Twins, not Santana) Edited August 20, 2006 by WSoxMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though this would be a good game for Ozzie to gauge "Half-game" Vasquez's big game performance. I'll wager that "Half-game" is gone before the fifth, and call it a moral victory if we get more than 3 runs. My only consolation is that Detroit gets their butts handed to them as well.

Leonard Zelig Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 McCarthy has only pitched 2 innings in the past week and none since Wednesday. There is no reason for Ozzie to leave Vazquez in for too long. Except that he doesn't seem to like Brandon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 The key to the game in my opinion is to score one more run then the Twinkies. Thank You! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
