greg775 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 No doubt the Sox have a good team this year, but there's no way of telling if it'll be a magical season. The division race is way too close to call (games against Det. and KC the key?) and if we do have to settle for the wild card, there's absolutely no way of telling how we'll do in that game. If we can get into the real playoffs, a real series, that's when we have a chance finally to go on a magical run. I'd feel confident if we ever get to that point and have Sale pitching Game One in the first real playoff series. We'd have a fighting chance cause Sale, Liriano, Peavy and Floyd ON PAPER is a good playoff rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukeEm Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm taking Quintana over Liriano 10 out of 10 times in the postseason. 11 out of 10 times against Floyd. Just the reality greg, Quintana is our #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) I doubt Cooper, Ventura and KW would go with Quintana over Liriano, however. Liriano has only been bad once in 5 starts. The team is 4-1 when he goes to the bump. There's also the added factor of the innings pitched issue with Quintana...why push him harder than he's ever been pushed in his entire professional baseball career when you have Liriano with playoff experience? Liriano and Sale can get K's when they need them. That's very important in close playoff games with runners in scoring position and less than 2 outs.

Rowand44 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If we got in the playoffs the rotation should be: Sale, Peavy and then Liriano and Quintana(not necessarily in that order), I couldn't care less if there's 3 lefties, they're your 4 best starters at the moment, it's a no brainer.

iamshack Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's going to depend on who's throwing the best at the time. We have no way of knowing who that will be now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I hope the Sox have a new song for this postseason if the team makes it to the postseason. People accuse me of living in the past with Jenks, Ozzie, Pods, Dye, Crede, Buehrle, etc., but even I want a new song, a new theme to the postseason. How bout "Fly Robin Fly?"

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) I could listen to Journey every so often- mostly for the cheese factor prior to 2005, but my copy of their Greatest Hits cd hasn't been within 10 ft of a cd player since. Only thing I could compare it to is having enough at a party to the point where you begin choking down warm saliva and looking for a bathroom, but finding a warm 24 oz can of Steel Reserve and polishing it off instead. It doesn't help that there have been like 30 teams since all over sports that have gone with Journey for seasons that end with the team getting bounced in the first round.

I was in my late teens during the Journey era and sure they had plenty of air time but they were never close to being a band I liked a lot. "Don''t Stop Believin" makes a fine slogan but associating the song with the 2005 Sox never quite clicked with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the White Sox and I love 2005 but I'd be perfectly fine if I never heard that song again. Steve Perry is an opportunist. It's funny, but I attach SOUTHSIDE by Moby to the 2005 championship moreso than Don't Stop Believin anyway. I remember when that song was played at the beginning of Mike and Mike on ESPN after a big win when it became apparent that the Sox were really going to win it. It sent chills down my spine. I wasn't used to my team getting that much coverage on a national scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
