Dunt Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sale (2-0, 2.25) vs. Ventura (2-1, 4.80) Take 3 or 4 here. f*** these dirtbag Royals. I was reading through twitter last night and Royals fans were convinced they will hit Sale and get a win tonight. I think Sale is ready to deal and gets 13-14 K's.

Dunt Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Really wish I could go to the game tonight, hope they get a good turnout for it. These are the type of games that should have Sox fans salivating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny because I think the guy who did the most damage against Sale is now playing for A's. I don't see anyone in the line up that poses a significant threat to Sale. Moose and Hosmer should be auto outs. They'll get hits but I don't think they'll be able to string too many together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Butler smacks Sale around and he's out of the picture. Hosmer and Moustakas have been pitiful, with a .464 and .450 OPS. Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain have done pretty well (.937, .946).

I'm only half joking. No, 'Cozi TV' broadcasts in Standard Def Widescreen. But they can't seem to get the 'Widescreen' part correct. The network and the local affiliate (WMAQ-TV Channel 5-2) both broadcast in 'Widescreen', but for some reason the station locally always has black bars at the left and right sides of the screen which isn't correct. 'Cozi TV' is available on Comcast channel 341, and for free over-the-air on WMAQ-TV Channel 5-2. Other cable / satellite viewers who receive 'CSN Plus 2' on a different alternate channel, might be able to get the game in High Def. Here are the channels where the game can be found: http://www.csnchicago.com/channel-finder Another thing, the game starts at 7:10 PM CDT--not CST. CDT (Central Daylight Time) began in March, which is when CST (Central Standard Time) ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for 60 for the pair but open if anyone wants to PM an offer. Listen if you have tickets like this in the future, give me notice and I'll pay that price.

I really wonder what kind of Royalmania would be occurring if Lester didn't blow a 4 run lead in the 8th inning last year, and they would have been eliminated after 1 game. Yet another reason to hate Jon Lester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The Tigers just got swept and the Sox can get within 3.5 games of 1st with a win tonight. This is another big series for the central. With Sale on the mound it's critical to take this first one and at least get 2/3 here. The Royals are a bit of a mess after the Oakland series now is a great time to go for a sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royals are a bit of a mess after the Oakland series now is a great time to go for a sweep. Four game series. I think it's more of an issue why they're playing down to the Twins....3-3 against the worst team in the AL and 8-1 against the rest of MLB (one loss to OAK). Maybe the same overconfidence that struck down the White Sox against lesser division opponents over the last 10-15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the same overconfidence that struck down the White Sox against lesser division opponents over the last 10-15 years. 4 game set already with a 2 game set already in Cle? Oh well, at least they aren't playing inter league in April this year like some teams. I think the Royals are a mediocre team that had a hot start. On paper, the Sox have just as much talent, maybe you can say the ridiculous pen KC has is some magic elixir but in a rare moment of agreeance with Dick Allen I will say -- this team got lucky to make the playoffs and they are acting like the 27 Yankees, fans included. The Sox matchup well on paper let's see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor13 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 They don't have 2 of there best bullpen pitchers so it would be highly important to win tonight. The Sox also have Q, Danks, and Noesi pitching the next 3 so based on everyone's vibes it's doesn't look good for the next 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
