QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) But...but...but...dodgers...60 years ago... :rolly The point is anything can happen, I don't think any of us think the Sox are going to lose the division but stranger things have happened and nothing is over until it's over, imo.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) PLEASE GOD NO TELL ME TIMO IS NOT BATTING 5th IN YANKEE STADIUM I just told you he was.

Uhh, don't shoot the messanger: pods gooch aj pauly timo dye rowand crede uribe

By the way, I wanted to mention that I was completely wrong about Haren, I thought at best he was going to be an average major league starter.

This trade was very lopsided in favor of the A's. The Huddy trade was lopsided in favor of the Braves.

As weird as it sounds the Indians don't scare me, the Twins don't scare me yet I don't consider anything over yet. IMO the division isn't wrapped up until the magic number hits 0.

QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 11:25 AM) New here. How is everyone doing? I am from Southern Illinois, am a Marlins fan, and just figured I'd try a new message board out. And Mark Buerhle came to my front door one day when he got his truck stuck down in the bottoms where he and his bud were hunting and we had to pull him out. Welcome aboard and good luck in the wild card race this season.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) He'll hit one. In the playoffs. In 1993, Lance Johnson went the entire regular season without hitting a HR, then hit one at the Skydome against the Blue Jays during the playoffs. Pods will smack one out against Oakland/Anaheim/? in the post-season. How about a walkoff grandslam in game 7 of the world series.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 11:18 AM) Ok lemme break this down....who would you rather have at home MB/Garland or Freddy? I completely agree with you, I'm just saying Freddy pitching at home in a playoff game is different then him pitching at home against the Royals when he's uninterested. I already said in this thread how I personally would set up the playoff rotation in a 5 game series with the Sox at home which included Freddy pitching game 3.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) I'm not talking about betting preseason game I'm thinking regular season records. No thanks, I make bets I can win.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) Why would it depend who were playing? If you read what I said 'Do everything humanly possible to pitch Freddy on the road' opponent has no effect on that. Pitching Freddy on the road is definitely the way to go but in the playoffs he'd probably do fine wherever considering he's a big game pitcher.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) :headshake I got another sig bet for me to kick your ass in if you get on AIM I can't get on AIM right now and I'm not betting you on preseason football. You want to remind the people your record against me in sig bets?

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 11:11 AM) You said yourself it didn't matter. I mean come on, Geoff Blum... I know, I could care less but you said you were going to do it. Doesn't matter to me though....

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 11:08 AM) ??? The trade bet.

To bad I have to miss the Fins beat the crap out of your bears tonight. Bad timing for this game.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) He has come close driving balls to left center, etc - he's bound to hit one. Dan reminded me that something is supposed to be in your sig that isn't there.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 10:09 AM) Anthraxfan93

It has to do with a few things: Number one is definitely the recent history, the Sox were supposed to be good and they just weren't, the A's the past few years have just been unbeatable down the stretch. Second, has to do with how the Sox were portrayed at the beginning of the season. There were more espn "experts" picking the Sox to finish in 4th place then in 1st place, everyone else listens to these so called experts and all the sudden the Sox are a fluke. To be honest, Kenny and Beane have just done terrific jobs this year and there is a great chance both teams will be in similar situations next year.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 08:21 AM) Time to take 2 of 3 in the Bronx! I predict a W today, a L tommorow w/ Contreras and a series win on Wednesday as Freddy is both awesome on the road and in day games. Meh, forget the fact that it's a road day game, I just expect Freddy to dominate cause he'll be interested. El duque has really been great since he's come back off the dl minus 2 innings, really.

How the f*** can people do that to animals?? This stuff just pisses me off. I wish these people were torchered, they don't deserve jail.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) I know it is early but with the big lead I will talk about it anyways. How should Ozzie setup the playoff rotation. With the first two games at home I would start MB and Garland in games 1&2 they are the only starters who pitch good at The Cell then games 3&4 Freddy and El Duque who have big game Experience and pitch well on the road and if there is a game 5 back at the Cell you can go with MB unless they are playing the A's then go with Garland because he has the only two wins against the A's this year. A couple things: First, the A's and Angels are tied for the west/wildcard so it's in no way a given if the sox get in that they'll play the A's. As for the rotation if the Sox get in, in a 5 game series you're using 3 starters. Buehrle, Garland, Freddy, Buehrle, Garland.
