Jordan4life_2003 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I think Colon has pretty much silenced all his critics "mainly us" with these last 4 starts. He's been totally amazing. He's gotten HOT at exactly the right time. I take back everything I said about wanting to trade Bartolo a few weeks back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmr31 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Colon is the best pitcher on the sox. Real fans of the game see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesox247 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 IF we get to the playoffs, Colon Loaiza Buerhle Thats just about as good as the A's big three if not better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmr31 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 IF we get to the playoffs, Colon Loaiza Buerhle Thats just about as good as the A's big three if not better. Colon Buehrle Loaiza but, either way, its a strong 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2003 Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 he's 10-9 I am not giving him the cy young yet Nobody said anything about the cy-young. But we were all critical of Bartolo earlier in the year. It's time to give the man his props...This is the Bartolo we all know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colon has proven he is a winner, and today he showed us EXACTLY what he brings a team in a big game. I just love this guy, and im glad hes on our team.

witesoxfan Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 IF we get to the playoffs, Colon Loaiza Buerhle Thats just about as good as the A's big three if not better. Colon Buehrle Loaiza but, either way, its a strong 3 That'd be my 1-2-3 too. Game 3 in a 5-game set is the most important game. In game 3, you can clinch a series, you can become 1-win a way from clinching, you can get back into the series by winning that game, or you can lose that game and be done. No other game in a 5-game set means more, except possibly game 5, and I don't consider that the most important game because that game is not going to necessarily be played. If a game 5 is involved, then that is the most important game in a 5-game set, for obvious reasons. What I like about our 1-2-3 is the fact that all of them are big games pitchers. How many big games(big games meaning almost must wins) have these guys won this year? How many times have they turned the ship around? I really like our chances if we get to the playoffs, because of these 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely not better than the a's big 3 (4 really) This year they're just as good, if not better. Zito isn't as strong this year as he has been in the past, and Colon/Buehrle are continuing to improve after poor starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like our chances if we get to the playoffs, because of these 3. I say game 1 is the most important game. If you are down 2-0, well game 3 is important for you now, but then 4 is, and then 5. Same if you are up 2-0. Get the lead, make the team take 3 of 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely not better than the a's big 3 (4 really) This year they're just as good, if not better. In the regular season, its close. However, i prefer to choose history when evaluating players, and the oakland trio is much better. Not to mention, they have much more playoff experience. Really, its a no brainer.

And I'm sure Loaiza has never been in the playoffs, so Colon would be the only guy who's been there. But, if we manage to make it, I like our chances with our 3 headed monster.
