Steve9347 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Alright boys, fresh off the suspension and ready to rock it with a game thread. Jackson's going to dominate, and hopefully LILLYbridge can hold his own while Gordon is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_Thomas Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Let's go EJax, we need this one. Big game with Minny idle picking up that half game before the three game set could be a difference maker.

BigSqwert Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Night game for a getaway game for a 4 game series? Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 There aren't that many must-wins in baseball, but I think it's fair to say that this is a must-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on how you define "must-win", because the absolute worst position the Sox can be in after today is tied with the Twins with 50 games left.

You sure wouldn't like to be tied with the Twins going into a huge series like the one coming up. Plus, this is the Orioles we're talking about. Losing 3 of 4 to them would make this a horrendous road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I have both teams going 29-21 the final 50 games, so as far as I'm concerned they're playing for the division tonight.

witesoxfan Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 If the Sox decided to start a 4-game winning streak today, I would be happy with that. I would also be happy if they decided they wanted to win 9 of their next 10 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It would be funny if that happened, but really there's no reason to lose tonight. We should dominate Matusz tonight.

flavum Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I like our chances better facing a lefty tonight. Rios, Konerko, Quentin, Jones, and Viciedo should be in launch mode tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This offense needs to wake up. That is the most disappointing thing about those losses. The pitching staff did their part for the most part, just couldn't hit anything from garbage pitching except Guthrie. He is the only good pitcher we faced...and he still only marginally good.

typewritermender Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 With Beckham out, wouldn't today be the perfect day to play Dayan at 3rd and move Omar to 2nd? As much as I like the way Lillibridge has been playing in his limited time, we NEED to see what Dayan can do with semi-regular playing time! I know everyone knows this *(except Ozzie), but thought it was worth mentioning. Unless you guys think Tank & Lilli will both play? Against the lefty I'd go with this lineup: LF Pierre 2B Visquel CF Rios 1B Konerko DH Quentin SS Ramirez 3B Viciedo RF Jones C Castro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millwood has pretty much always pitched well against the Sox, and has almost always been a tough luck loser. 1-5 in 11 career starts with a 3.14 ERA.
