9/16: White Sox vs Yankees, 6:05PM

[DBAHO 4]

Well I'll start up my 1st game thread of the season.

 

Will be attending tonight's game, so let's hope we can bounce back for a win.

 

Hopefully with Gavin on the mound, we'll give him the run support that we have all season long.

Your first game thread of the year and you go ahead and give us the game time for the Eastern time zone. Tst. You are just feeding the East coast bias. Twins have a good shot of winning tonight, so let's keep getting that magic number down with a win tonight. BA better start tonight in CF with Pettite on the mound. And Konerko at 1st, with Swish in LF.

Owens in LF, BA in CF, Swish sits according to the Trib. Swish has 1.000 OPS against Pettite, although only in 3 plate appearances (1-3, 2B, GIBP).

 

Konerko hits Pettite well...so does Griffey, who is sitting, Dye hits him well, Cabrera hits him well, AJ hits him well, Uribe meh.

 

Giambia and Damon light up Floyd, although in relatively few plate appearances.

I was supposed to be at the games today and tomorrow but i'm not gonna be able make it down cuz of work. Argh.

[shipps 484]

Andrew you were awful luck when you went to the game here in Chicago.Hence I dont feel good about our chances tonight.

Pettitte is 0-4 with a 7.15 ERA in his last four starts, and the Yankees are 1-8 in his last nine outings. He pitched 4 2-3 innings last Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels, allowing four runs - three earned - and nine hits.

 

Lets get em...pull that needle out of his ass and wipe that eyemakeup off his face!

Stat of the day: Tonight will be Gavin's 1st and last start in Yankee Stadium.

 

Which means we should probably go ahead and pick up the W.

[LittleHurt05 324]

Horacio Ramirez is 1-2 (.500 AVG, 1.000 OPS) lifetime against Petitte...since he is worthless out of the bullpen, maybe we let him get an at-bat or two and help him contribute to the team for once!

[fathom 5,531]

Why would you play Owens against a pitcher that is impossible to steal against?

Andrew you were awful luck when you went to the game here in Chicago.Hence I dont feel good about our chances tonight.

He was lucky enough to see the Sox get destroyed by the Royals.

Desparate times call for desparate measures.

Oh yeah, I came all the way to Chicago just to see that!

 

Hopefully will have some more luck tonight.

Good luck to you. It should be a fun experience I would guess, but I'll have to settle for XM radio

White Sox will put up 8 runs tonight and win.

Let's win this one and hopefully the Twins will lose again. Yankees will be tough in the final homestand at Yankee Stadium.

[Sox It To Em 0]

Pettite is mediocre nowadays. With Floyd on the bump, I think we'll win.

[The Ginger Kid 12]

Isn't this Pettite's last start in old yankee stadium? Could be an emotional lift.

Emotional lifts are overrated.His emotions wont make him have good control.

disagree, but hope you're right tonight.

I think he may be starting on Sunday on what'll be the last game at the stadium.

[The Ginger Kid 12]
