NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 We need to take a minimum of 3 outta 4 from them this series. I figure that later when we go into the rollerdome we'll probably be lucky to get 1 of 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 With our $9 million arm going aginst Lohse, Monday is a Must Win if we expect to take 3 outta 4. Series like this are why most folks got excited when Bartolo arrived. he needs to come up big -- and keep Koskie, AJ, Jones and the other lefties IN THE PARK.

Well, it's this time of year that we find out who's worth what their being paid. I think he's gonna put in another awesome effort tomorrow. I betcha he gets picked apart in the rollerdome though.

southsider2k5 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 If we win 5 of 7 from the Twins and 5 of 7 from the Royals, the season is over. We win. It is that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSOX45 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 If we win 5 of 7 from the Twins and 5 of 7 from the Royals, the season is over. We win. It is that simple. Exactly right. The Sox know this too, we have played very well against Minnesota the last few times we've seen them. The Sox have crushed most of the Twins starting pitching. The only two games that could be offensive struggles might be Tuesday (Twins have not decided) and whenever we face Santana. I like our chances though. Let's do it boys.

winninguglyin83 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 what I find interesting is that Minnesota is starting this Pulido guy tuesday against Buehrle. don't know much about him, other than he was in the minors most of the season and he's a bit older. Can anybody deliver the word on the Tuesday Twinkies starter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Juan Carlos Pulido is 32. He made his major league debut in 1994 and has not been in the majors since. Twinkies signed him out of Mexico last winter. He pitched in relief for 2 innings on 8/29, 2 2/3 innings on 8/31 and 3 2/3 on 9/3. So far in his return, one unearned run, no walks, five K's. If he's like most Mexican leaguers, and at his age, he's probably all breaking stuff, changeups, that sort of thing. He's a lefty. His career ERA is 5.44, but you may have to disregard that, since it's heavily weighted by his 1994 performance. He should be hittable.

Texsox Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 The biggest series will be next week. Two possible situations next week. We lose or split this series and go into Minny 1 or 2 games down adn need a sweep to keep our dreams alive. Or we go in 1 or 2 games up and can hook 'em. This series is bug but not nearly as big as next weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care of business HERE and NOW and put the Twinks in the position of hoping to recover... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong & Owens Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I think I heard over the weekend that Minnesota has won something like 20 out of the last 21 games vs. Detroit. They're due for a couple losses, regardless of how bad Detroit is--aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I play a lot of match play golf and to stay in the right mental state you always expect your opponent to hit the miracle shot, recover from anywhere on the course. Assume the Twins are going to sweep the worst team in MLB history. If Detroit manages a win that will be a gift. We have to beat Min and KC head to head. No other scenario his probable enough to worry about. We have tough games against our likely playoff opponents ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're due for a couple losses, regardless of how bad Detroit is--aren't they? If we knock Minnesota down real good this week, they could go into the Detroit series with a HUGE negative mental attitude and blow that series, putting them even further behind. That's why THIS is the biggest series. Thank God we have 4 of the 7 games against Minnesota at home...THAT alone is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
