kane0730 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Xavier Nady should miss this series, so that should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowch Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 We really must win at LEAST 2/3. I don't want to go into the weekend series on a low note. Of course I'm hoping for all 3, but Pittsburgh's got some pretty good hitters. Anyway, let's get this first one and worry about the other two tomorrow. Let's Go Sox!

That just means we will see more of the infamous Jason Michaels. I wonder if they realize they have somewhat of a Sox killer on their team.

I wonder if they realize they have somewhat of a Sox killer on their team. I think he lost his super magical power when he left the Indians.

On the DVD it has different endings. I like the one where he rams the camaro off the pier with the Pork Chop Express!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown saves are the worst possible stat to judge a set up man on. He could come in with the bases loaded and no one out, get a double play ground ball letting a run score, and that is a blown save.

Overall he was very successful with the sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsox Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I just hope the past two days off will help Carlos out, we need his bat to be red hot again for these series coming up and go into the All Star Break with them still in first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Jun 17, 2008 -> 12:48 PM) Ive never understood the hatred for Marte by Sox fans. Always negative. Marte had a disease that MacDougal shares - poor performance under pressure. Overall numbers don't speak to that, you have to know the situations they were in. Both had a habit of doing worse under pressure (runners on, for example), and padding their numbers in mop up work. That's not a good thing for a setup guy.
