How come Boston kicks our ass at home, but we kick there ass in Boston? Anyways tonites game will be a much needed win- the defense needs to really step it up after last nights mess. 3 un-earned runs?!? Thats just not acceptable vs a great team like Boston. I remember Jon Garland's great game vs Boston last season- lets hope he repeats it- as we really need to win this. Here come the Twins- there getting hot- not a good time for us to get cold. They are going to have to be scrappy vs Wakefield, a lot of bunts, and moving the man over in this one. Please win guys! I'm sick of having this nasty taste of defeat in my mouth the last 3 days.

Our starting lineup will probably look like this tonite: Podsednick LF Iguchi 2B Everett DH Konerko 1B Dye RF Rowand CF Pierzynski C Crede 3B Uribe SS look for Frank to come in and pinch hit in the 9th during a 3-3 tie for a walk-off homer

Many critics believe that this series will determine just how good our White Sox are. C'mon guys lets once again prove those critics that we are for real, lets get that nast taste of this 2 game skid out of our mouths and lets take 3 of 4 vs the defending champs!! Go SOX! White that is.

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) I'd love to add Burnett, but not if he's joined at the hip with Lowell. I think the Marlins are starting to realize that teams are smart and want nothing to do with the whole "Lowell must be added to the deal non-sense". In fact that scared away both the Orioles and the Pirates for now. And if the Orioles go after Schmidt that leaves: our Sox , Red Sox and the BlueJays the prime canidates to aquire him. The latest i heard the Marlins would want Contreras and prospects for Burnett straight up. (this could be a great deal for KW). Hold on to your seats people- 10 days before the deadline- ALLLOOTTTTT of activity will start happening very soon. so how about a mid-summer christmas present just like last summer KW!!!

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) well he certainly didn't pitch good, he was ok. He shouldn't have been out there in the 9th agreed cy garland. We have been spoiled by great pitching all year, and im used to freddy only giving up 3-4 runs. he gave up a lot of hits today and that is not like him. contreras didn't pitch good last nite and seeing BOTH Cotts and Pollite giving up hits in the SAME inning was unusual. It did look like our offense came alive in the 9th. Hopefully that carries into the Boston series.

THe last 2 games our pitching has been aweful, from Contreras and today Garcia just didn't have it. It was dissappointing to see Cotts and Pollite not being able to keep the damage at a minimum. Our pitching lost this series NOT our offense. I'm happy we fought back, but were not going to beat the Red Sox if we keep pitching like this. We are 1-2 so far on this homestand- i expect it to be 3-4 after Boston leaves. We will split with the defending champs. Our probable pitching machups: Tommorow- Buerhle vs Clement (could go either way) Friday- Garland vs Wakefield (should win this one) Saturday- El-duque vs Miller (could go either way) Sunday- Contreras vs Arroyo (could either way)

win or lose, they are making this interesting. its all about the oppurtunity to win

QUOTE(Tadahito15 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) These last 2 games have been brutal with this offense. 7 hits???? Come on. We really need to pick it up against Boston this upcoming series or things could get real ugly. I'm not too worried about the hitting- these last 2 games the pitching has been bad. I'm starting to get worried that are pitching is getting burned out?

that run is going to bite us in our ass. i bet we lose 4-3 now.

now that just f***ing sucks

now walk infante and go for the DP

Tigers 3- Sox 2 Top of the 6th. Shut them down Freddy. Gotta keep them @ 3

thats what happens when you can't f***in bunt!! nice job widger

that a boy Uribe! keep it going Pablo!

its rally time! thank you bondertson!!

i shall now call them both bondertson to avoid further self-confusion

bonderman, robertson, they are the same pitcher

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) That wouldnt help very much this game. should it would.

i hate rain delays! Freddy was in a groove too. hopefully it gets bonderman off his groove at least

gettin squeezed

nothing was wrong witht that pitch

Maggs is up = Tigers 4-Sox 1

dumb! aaron, just dumb! hold the ball and keep the DP oppurtunty alive. no need to be mr. hero

The whole adding Lowell to the Burnett trade has seemed to scare the Orioles away. Most teams want nothing to do with Lowell, so the Marlins just might end up keeping Lowell and end up just trading Burnett after all. Whoever makes the best offer to Flordia for Burnett alone will end up with him. This puts the Sox right back in the swing of things as Flordia is extremely interested in Contreras to be their closer. Who knows, we might get Burnett afterall?!?

damn- we can't hit this guy. didn't we struggle last time vs him also?
