Big Irish Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 The sox have to really enter this series with the Rays and approach as if playing a rival. They have to keep their intensity. The Rays have been putting up solid #s against good teams lately because they catch them sleeping. They have to keep in mind what happened down there. Worry about KC on Monday.

mreye Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Right on the money. They should be OK because they're at home. The crowds should be pretty decent too, with the streak and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Irish Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 The crowd better be 30,000+ every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaiza21 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 We must win tonight. Good news is Detroit gets back Higginson tonight to face the Royals. Maybe they'll lose to Detroit while we battle the Rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doing my part to promote White Sox baseball Last time we faced Ledezma we rocked the s*** out of him remember 10-1 last Sunday. The only time we had trouble with him is when we first saw him which isn't surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa played well against the Red Sox. It seems like they are definitely up for playing the role of a spoiler. This weekend shoud be interesting out of the bullpen with Marte and Gordon pitching so much. I would assume they are not an option for tonight's game. So, Loaiza better pitch well into the game or I got a feeling we'll see Koch in there for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a feeling we'll se better run support this time. The offense is finally clicking, they are at home, and they are facing worse pitching than in Toronto.

witesoxfan Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 they are facing worse pitching than in Toronto. Not so sure about that. Toronto, I believe, has the worst pen in the majors, and aside from like Halladay, their starting rotation's ERA is pretty terrible too.

Jim Fainter Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 If we can't hit Tampa's pitcher tonight, maybe we can get a rain delay in, say, the sixth inning to cause him to lose his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
