Go get this pitcher I have never heard of. 3 in a row!!! I feel it.

 

Unknown pitchers usually do pretty good against the Sox for some reason :lol:

 

But screw that, the Sox are reversing the trend

Should be a cool day for Swisher-House facing his old team. Hopefully he has a big series.

 

We'll also get to see BearSox's boy R. Sweeney's return.

 

EDIT: Forgot he's injured. He'll still be around on the bench though. (pretty sure he'll get a camera shot)

Q: Bill from Tempe, AZ asks:

Greg Smith put up great numbers in the minor league's worst ballpark for pitchers, yet he's not regarded as a premier prospect. What's his upside?

A:

 

Will Lingo: He's No. 13 (15 in the book before the departure of two guys ahead of him) in one of the most talented organizations in the game, so he's no slouch. Smith actually went 9-0, 1.63 with Lancaster, so his performance there was impressive. He doesn't get more attention because he's your classic finesse lefty who doesn't blow anybody away. His fastball touches 90 and his curveball and changeup are nice pitches, but his biggest strength is his feel for pitching and for setting up hitters. So you look for him to be a middle of the rotation guy at best.

Time to keep the run going.

 

Our hitters need to keep remaining patient, and keep doing what they're doing.

 

Keep taking 2 out of 3.

 

How about 2 out of 2 this series? :cheers

Sounds good to me.. i'll be at both of them ;) C'mon Buerhle.. be your self and do your thing. Wouldn't it be sweet to have 3 consecutive shutouts? When was the last time that happend? Statman?
