Butter Parque Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I predict 6 2/3 innings of 2 run ball for "Jose the Great". A-Row and Uribe get it going with Konerko finishing off the W and the sweep. GO SOX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroHour Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Pitch around Victor and the Tribe hasnt been that intimidating. I have as much faith in the Count as I have after watching Freddy just miss the strike zone yesterday. I see quality ahead after a few minor kinks for both.

bjm676 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Game Notes: Sox eyeing series sweep of Tribe Cleveland (0-2) at Chicago (2-0), 1:05 p.m. CT A pitching gem in Game 1 and a ninth-inning comeback in Game 2 have the White Sox staring at the possibility of a sweep of their home opening series with the Indians. If the Sox were looking for a bright spot in their hitting in Game 2, then they certainly found it. After only tallying four hits Monday, the Sox combined for nine Wednesday afternoon -- including Tadahito Iguchi's first hit in the Majors. Thursday's game will feature Cleveland southpaw Cliff Lee, who has had trouble in the past against the Sox hitters. Lee is 2-2 with a 6.47 ERA in six career starts vs. the White Sox. Jose Contreras will get the start for Chicago and looks to improve upon his 13-9 record from last season. If Contreras can keep up the numbers that he had last year against the Indians (1-0, 1.23 ERA), then the White Sox could start the season 3-0. Pitching matchup CLE: LHP Cliff Lee • 14-8, 5.43 ERA in 2004 • 2-2, 7.09 in 2004 vs. Sox CWS: RHP Jose Contreras • 13-9, 5.50 ERA in 2004 • 1-0, 1.23 in 2004 vs. CLE Player to watch Paul Konerko. The White Sox first baseman hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning of Game 2 against the Indians, and has been one of the more consistent hitters for the Sox this series. Konerko is 4-for-7 in his first two games with a double and that home run. His .571 batting average leads the team, with the next closest hitter, A.J. Pierzynski, batting .333. Quotable "Today was not only a big confidence booster for me, but for our team. The last couple of days, we haven't been swinging the bats well, but we faced some pretty tough pitching. For us to come back like that, hopefully that gives us some momentum going into tomorrow." -- Jermaine Dye, after Wednesday's comeback victory On the Internet MLB.TV Gameday Audio • Gameday On television • CLE: Fox Sports Net • CHI: Comcast Sports Net On radio • CLE: WTAM-AM 1100 • CHI: ESPN Radio Quick hits Freddy Garcia has gone 9-0 with a 2.48 ERA over his last 11 day starts. ... The White Sox improved to 2-0 for the first time since 1999. ... The Sox are 24-7 in one-run games under Ozzie Guillen at home. .... Juan Uribe had one hit in his previous 12 at-bats vs. Kevin Millwood prior to his third-inning single Wednesday. ... Before Wednesday's blown save, Cleveland closer Bob Wickman had saved his previous 12 opportunities.
