QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 10:25 AM) 1. Levine is about as accurate as.... 2. Do you really think the cubs, after having an extremely dissapointing season, would trade their starting 2B to their crosstown rival for their playoff run? I don't see why they wouldn't. The Cubs organization has no reason to view the Sox as any kind of threat. Even if the Sox won the World Series, Wrigley would continue to sell out. It's not like Cub fans would jump ship for the Sox in droves. I'm sure Hendry would make a trade with the Sox if we had the best offer on the table.

Besides his start against them this year, El Duque has had pretty good success against the Rangers with a low ERA. I think his start against them this year was just before he went on the DL. Anyway, after watching Brandon dominate with that changeup, I'm wondering if the Rangers are just a fastball hitting team that struggles against offspeed stuff. If so, El Duque should have a pretty good outing with the variety of offspeed and trick pitches he throws.

The Sox are due for a rookie pitcher to come up and get a win. It hasn't happened in a long time. It seems to work once in awhile for other teams. Hopefully today will be our day.

I would think that it is probably unlikely that, out of three events today, each one would go against the Sox. You'd think we'd either win one of the games or the Indians would lose. Personally, I'm hoping for a Sox trifecta!

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) What, you don't think we can mount a 6 run comeback?? Could you imagine what it would do for morale if they did??? I'm not bettin' on it though.

I'll I can say is that I'm glad this isn't the rubber game of the series. I'm not too upset knowing that we've already delivered the series.

Yeah, Freddie doesn't have it today. That's alright. It happens.

It's interesting that Carl is batting left-handed against Moyer.

Our defense hasn't been stellar today, but it seemed to me that the Mariners were making really solid contact off of Freddie. Hittin' some balls hard. It appeared that Freddie wasn't locating his curve, allowing them to sit on his fastball. What do you guys think?

Nice to see someone hanging around second finally.

I remember last year that I would get excited when Uribe came to the plate, especially in a big situation. This year I have the opposite reaction. I think "oh no!" I love his defense though. He and Crede are the last guys I want to see coming up with runners in scoring position with less than two outs.

Jenks' velocity might have been the only reason why that ball was hit where it was. Sexton couldn't get all the way around on it.

Much to his astonishment, White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski learns that Twins infielder Nick Punto believed himself to be a stork in another life.

Scott definitely adds value to the team. The Sox offense averages 5.2 runs in games when Podsednik reaches base at least once. When Scott doesn't reach base, the Sox average 3.1 runs per game. In games where Scott steals at least one base, the Sox average 5.6 runs. In games where he steals multiple bases, the Sox average 5.75 runs.
