GOOOOO WHITE SOX!

 

I expect this to be a pretty dead thread once this game reaches the late hours.

2B- Uribe

CF- Harris

DH- Thomas

LF- Lee

1B- Konerko

RF- Rowand

3B- Crede

SS- Valentin

C- Olivo

Pitching matchup

 

OAK: LHP Mark Redman

• 3-3, 4.04 ERA in 2004
• Did not face the White Sox in 2003
• 2-2, 5.86 lifetime vs. CWS

CHI: RHP Esteban Loaiza

 

• 6-3, 3.60 ERA in 2004
• 2-0, 1.93 vs. A's in 2003

Prediction of how long Loaiza will last: 8+ innings

Prediction of how long Redman will last: 7+ innings

willie batting second?

Wow, Valentin 8th tonight. Now how is Joe Crede ahead of Big Mo in the lineup? Give Olvio some creidt.

I noticed that the catcher always bats at the end of the lineup. I’m just hoping Joe can have a good day. His batting average has to go up before it goes below .200.

willie batting second?

That's what I'm wondering..

It's probably because it's a lefty and if Uribe gets on, I'm sure Willie will bunt and use his speed to get on.

make sense.

I don't care about the catcher being 9th anymore. Olivo has been hitting, we should shove it in Billy Beane's face and bat him above Crede and even Valentin maybe. Hell, maybe bat him number 2 tomorrow and move Uribe down for the day!

That could be a pretty good idea.

When was the last time a Sox catcher hit higher than ninth? Fisk? Karkovice? (who hit his first homer of the year for me last night on my old-ass baseball game ) Even Chales Johnson with his kickass year hit ninth.

That is pretty odd that catchers for the sox rarely bat hgher than ninth.

Uribe grounds out to 2nd.

Willie doubles.

i thought willie sucked against lefties?
