SinkingShip06 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 will the sox try hard enough to keep minny from getting the division and home field in the first round? or will they roll over and play dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Everytime something was expected of this team the second half they choked. If they go into Minnesota actually trying to win 2/3 you know they'll fail. I'm going with doormat. The immortal Boof Bonser is pitching game 1. Might as well be Santana with how this team gave up the last two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) I'm going with Minny winning the series. Edited September 29, 2006 by nitetrain8601 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 We will win 1 of 3. I like the chances tonite with the way Freddy is pitching and they should be able to wack around Bonser. They have nothing to play for, the pressure is on Minny to take this series. IMO Minny is the team to beat in the AL this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 We're playing all the starters but Anderson and Iguchi tonight. Owens is in CF, and Cintron at 2B. I can't believe that Ozzie is still finding ways to not play Anderson out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Minny is the team to beat in the AL this year. Tonight Garcia Vs Boof Bonser, RHP (7-5, 4.15) Saturday morning is Garland Vs Matt Garza, RHP (3-5, 5.32) Sunday is Vazquez Vs Scott Baker, RHP (5-8, 6.37) By the numbers, Boof is actually the best of the bunch. Just have to play the games and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baines3 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I say play the spoiler. My dad is a big Tigers fan and he hopes that the Sox still have enough life in them to sweep the Twins. I want the Sox to sweep the Twins so we can end the season on a positive note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Maybe because in his opinion in his more than 20 years in baseball, Ozzie feels Anderson is one big whiff. One big stiff. Ozzie doesn't like him. What is so hard to understand about that. Like it or not, the White Sox manager does not like Brian Anderson. I think that by now is pretty apparent.

And that is just one of the many reasons why this team will not be making the playoffs this season, it's a shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpatNYC Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I'm not sure if BA's lack of play this season is that high on the list of why we didn't make the playoffs. I've puzzled over the why of it all for a while now, and the best I can come up with is the lopsided performance. Starting pitching without offense. Offense without pitching. Finally, of course, it was the pitching that finally ruined us. Joey Cora didn't help. And Ozzie's irrational managing of the pitching staff. God, it's so depressing. I don't even know who to root for. I don't hate the Twins, never have. I do hate the Tigers, though not as much as the Yanks. Couldn't care less about the As, even with Frank. If I had to put money on it now, it would go on the Twins to go all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible outfield defense (pods/Mack) may not be a top 3 reason why the Sox didn't make the postseason but it was a major contributing factor to 2006 Chicago White Sox post-AllStar Break suck fest.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Spoiler? The Twins are in. We can't spoil a damn thing. They might actually be better off if they have to play the Yankees in a 5-game series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now it looks like Randy Johnson could miss the entire postseason ala Pedro, this only bodes well for the team that faces them in the first round.

I agree with you, Kalapse. And I have always thought that Mack's offense never outweighed his defensive shortcomings, it's just that the number of blown plays don't outweigh the number of poor pitching performances, especially out of the bullpen.
