sox-r-us Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 This team has to make hay against the Royals. Minny just beat these guys and are right behind us. Let's bury the Injuns + Lions by next month so then it is only down to us and Minny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Ok, what's the unofficial rule about when a game thread can go up? How soon before I see the game 1 ALCS thread? We need to take 2 minimum from KC. You have to beat up and get fat on the teams that you are supposed to beat, good teams do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Garcia is overdue for the type of outing that we expect from him. That last effort against Seattle was less than stellar. Buehrle battled today and picked up a much deserved win. Now lets see Garcia go out there and give us 7 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 Ks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm676 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Notes for KC Series, Game 1: Garcia will try to win at night White Sox (12-4) at Kansas City (5-11), 7:10 p.m. CT Freddy Garcia has proven he can get the job done in bright sunshine and during afternoon starts. Now, the right-hander wants the same winning results against Kansas City on Friday during his first night start of 2005. Garcia has a 5-6 career record against the Royals, with a 5.71 ERA. Runelvys Hernandez opposes Garcia, and will be making his first start against the White Sox since 2003. Hernandez is 2-2 with a 6.49 ERA in five career appearances against the White Sox. Manager Ozzie Guillen will try to get Ross Gload a start at first base during this three-game set. But with right-handers starting all three nights for Kansas City, it's not certain when the left-handed hitting Gload will be in the lineup. The White Sox have won four in a row. They also have won six of their last seven and have not lost any of their six series this season. Pitching matchup CWS: RHP Freddy Garcia • 1-1, 3.43 ERA in 2005 • 1-0, 4.91 in 2004 vs. KC KC: RHP Runelvys Hernandez • 1-2, 4.19 ERA in 2005 • Did not face the White Sox in 2004 Player to watch After snapping a 0-for-11 funk Wednesday night with two hits and four RBIs, Jermaine Dye went hitless in three at-bats Thursday -- despite driving in a first-inning run with a bases-loaded walk. But Dye should be ready to produce against one of his former teams. He has a .295 average with 44 home runs and 164 RBIs at Kauffman Stadium. Quotable "I try not to think about it or make things too complicated. I made it my gameplan to throw it as hard as I could to A.J.'s glove." -- White Sox reliever Shingo Takatsu on pitching a perfect ninth on Thursday, for his fifth save On television • CWS: WCIU-TV • KC: RSTN On radio • CWS: ESPN Radio, AM 1000 • KC: WHB Quick hits A.J. Pierzynski recorded his third two-hit game of the season Thursday, raising his career average against the Tigers to .354 ... Joe Crede's second-inning double Thursday extended his hitting streak to 12 games, a new career high ... Mark Buehrle has pitched at least six innings in 32 straight starts ... Dustin Hermanson is unscored upon over seven games and 7 2/3 innings this season ... The White Sox have a 6-2 road record, a 5-2 record during the day and are 2-0 on this current eight-game road trip. They are 10-3 against the American League Central.

southsider2k5 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 This should be a good ballpark for Freddy. It is an excellent fly ball pitchers park. But we will see if Garcia can reverse his night time problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
