June 25, 200520 yr I wouldnt doubt it...Didnt he start a game vs Maddux either earlier this year or last year? If he does start tomorrow it'll be one of the few times I actually wouldnt be disgusted about it...he does hit Maddux pretty well.
June 25, 200520 yr I just checked...no Timo did not face Maddux when he pitched against us earlier this year...he was 8 for 19 against him coming into that game. I think I was surprised he didn't face him.
June 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 06:04 PM) :headshake I hope note. In other news ajp is 6-9 lifetime off of greg maddux. With any luck that gives us a guarantee that Widger won't be told to catch Contreras tomorrow. The guy Timo has always hurt that you might be remembering is Brad Radke from the Twins...Timo's also had an excellent career against Radke, Ozzie played him in that game, and Timo hit quite well, including another long ball.

June 25, 200520 yr Author I think Frank will sit tomorrow and Carl will be the DH <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not so sure about that... Carl Everett (career vs. Maddux): 8 for 34 (.235)
June 25, 200520 yr I remember hearing the same s*** last year when Timo started against him, and he hit a homer off of the Ol' spitball.
June 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 08:14 PM) I think Frank will sit tomorrow and Carl will be the DH I sure hope not... I paid too much money for my seats to not see the Big Hurt.

Carl Everett (career vs. Maddux): 8 for 34 (.235) Since '99, there's no player in baseball with a higher SLG% against the Cubs than Carl. http://www.baseballmusings.com/cgi-bin/Com...r=desc&MinPA=50 .490/.536/.961 -- OUCH
June 25, 200520 yr Ozzie has said it himself that he really doesn't look at numbers and with Carl needing ab's I hardly doubt Timo starts.

I expect Maddux to be his old self today, in light of all the spitter stuff. Timo should not be on this team, but he still is so it behooves Ozzie to put Timo in the lineup when he has proven that he can hit Maddux. Sox have always been in games til the end, so when it gets to the late innings, go ahead and pinch hit for Timo. Let Timo play RF and sit Dye. Sometimes, one just had to pull a George Costanza and "do the opposite." When everyone wants Timo on the bench, do the reverse and start him.
June 25, 200520 yr It is also appearant that Jerome Williams will be piggybacking Mark Prior tommorrow.
