Jimbo's Drinker Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I hate watching us play the A's. Let's turn this week into a pleasant surprise. Contreras, try showing up this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChrisSamsa Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Atleast this year we won't experience the wrath of Frank Thomas to go with the A's, maybe that gives us a little bit of a chance? I mean... Mike Piazza? He doesn't scare me nearly as much as Big Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd settle for one out of 3, although 2/3 would be GREAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yes, 2/3 would be sexcellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Righties throwing fastballs are ok with me. Im thinking Jimbo has the magic touch!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Lead us to the promised land, Jimbos...maggs got us started with a couple wins, time for the same at least!! I'd assume the normal lineup tonight as well, hopefully the lift and pull method against Johan will not linger for the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeGone33 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I like the fact that we are facing Harden the day after Santana, might make it a little easier for the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole cherades scene was very funny, and I loved the new Ari angle with Medallion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 The pitching is stepping up now, so lets get our hitting goin so we can go on one of our runs. I feel like we are going to get a big run pretty soon here, its just all about Thome and JD getting hot, though. The pitching so do fine against Oakland, but if our hitting can get going, a 5-8 game win streak is quite possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I'd like to see Mack in right one of these first two games. Dye looks really lost right now. Yet another case of spring training meaning s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox72 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 After coming home with our newborn yesterday and given her eating schedule, I may have to introduce her to how bad the Sox are in Oak-town very early in life.... She got to hear all about how much I hated Podsednik over the weekend ... Lets hope the Count gets it back together and pitches like he is capable. I really hate the trips out to that godforsaken ballpark, but hopefully we can head to 'the Jake' with a few more wins under our belt.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Let's just hope that we don't give them 4 runs. Harden is just deadly when he gets at least 4 runs of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 QUOTE(Jimbo @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 10:27 AM) Weird things happen in Oakland...im scared You can usually count on one fluke play a series benefiting Oakland. I'm going to say Podsednik will attempt to field a long fly ball at the LF wall, misplay it, and have it touch his glove and fly over the fence for a HR. This HR will be the deciding factor in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Harden is 27-0 when he gets 4 or more runs of support. Crap. So lets hold'em to 3. Edited April 9, 2007 by GoSox05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Any ideas who the umps are for this series. I'm hoping we don't see Froemming, CB Bucknor, Angel Hernandez, or Hunter Wendelstedt. Edited April 9, 2007 by santo=dorf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
