southsidehawkeye Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 According to this bit on espn.com there still isnt any news on if ARod will be playing during the series opener tonight (or for that matter, be available for the rest of the series). He is going to be looked at again today to make the final decision. The Yanks' lineup looks a lot less scary with ARod out/hurting, the whole situation gives me a good feeling about this series. Go Sox! Go Contreras! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Sox! Go Contreras! You probably won't hear about ARod's availability. It will probably be a game time decision, and if he's not in the lineup there will always be the threat of him coming of the bench as a PH. If I'm the Yanks, I don't show my cards before it's time to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claydude14 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I like the other two pitching match ups in the series more than this one, so if we can take it to Wang tonight I think we'll be in great shape to take 2 of 3 or even sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I think this is a big game, if we win this one, the series will be looking good for the other two games. Let's go get em Jose. I hate Wang too, We need to really try and get the pitch count up against him as we shouldn't be able to hit any homers off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'll be at the game tonight. Sec. 137. Hoping for no rain/long delays. Also, looking forward to seeing the Championship Monument. Hoping to see a good pitching performance from Jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thought I heard on the Score that A-Rod wasn't in today, but I was half asleep so it could have also been something else. Just printed my ticket out (damn I miss my 27-gamer...). There's talk of rain today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves me right he has some crazy home/away splits This year his home/away splits are quite different (1.00 era on the road vs 5+ era at home), but thats only in 1 away start and two at home. Over the last three years his numbers are better at home (3.04) than away (4.62) - however, he is rocking a 2.65 era here at US Cellular in three starts (with a record of 2-0). This is probably our toughest pitching match up of the series, but I think we'll be able to put up some runs. Hopefully Jose can keep the Yanks to just a run or two tonight. Edit: as I gave his stats a second look, I noticed that US Cellular and the Metrodome seem to be his favorite places to pitch (at least according to his ERA). I think we need to change that tonight.

kageman129 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 My sister is going to the game tonight, which is a good omen. She has went to at least 1 Sox game since 1993 and the has never seen a White Sox loss while in attendance. Soooo hopefully her streak continues and the Sox continue to play ball the way they have been this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowch Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I hope they beat Wang senseless. I really don't like him. idk why. I think it just frustrates me that he can have almost a 4 ERA and still come close to 20 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup... http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb CHICAGO -- Alex Rodriguez and his wife, Cynthia, celebrated the birth of a 7-pound, 2-ounce daughter in Miami late Monday night. "We are thrilled with the birth of our second daughter and the blessing of having two beautiful, healthy daughters in our lives," Rodriguez said. A-Rod will not be in the Yankees lineup tonight or Wednesday as he spends time with his now expanded family. He is expected to rejoin the team Thursday in Chicago.
