This is definately a marquis matchup on national TV. Let's get back on track and end the skid. Only 35 BB in 194.2 IP by Colón. My advice is take your pitch, hit it hard, and string em together.

This game is so huge. We need Jon to step up like never before.

Garland, meanwhile, would prefer facing somebody other than one of the American League's top pitchers.

 

''I want out there whoever my hitters want to face,'' said Garland, who is 17-8 with a 3.28 ERA. ''I don't care about a matchup like that. I want whoever my hitters want. As long as they put up runs, I don't care who it is out there.''

 

Not exactly the attitude of someone looking to earn the Cy Young by taking part in a showdown with one of the AL's best.

 

''There might be a little bit into it, but nothing to write home about,'' Garland said. ''I'm sure he would rather see somebody out there who would give up runs instead of somebody that will shut them out for nine.''

 

Not sure what to make of those comments.

 

But we need this game. It's big.

well at least in the playoffs he won't have to worry about it

 

really though, IMO these aren't really what I want to hear. I think Sox are now 12-18 against playoff teams, they really need to pick it up, I would like to see them play better, too many missed opportunities last night

Timo in RF, Crede back at 3B. Can't remember the whole line up but Pods is in LF, Rowand is batting 3rd. Better sit Dye before he stays TOO Hot.

Pods, LF ... Iguchi, 2B ... Rowand, CF ... PK, 1B ... Everett, DH ... AJ, C ... Perez, RF ... Uribe, SS ... Crede, 3B ... Garland, RHP.

Timo Perez: 9 extra base hits this season.

Juan Uribe: 8 extra base hits this September.

 

Oh, yeah. I agree with this lineup construction.

It gets better: Everett 21 AB's vs. Colon, 10 K's. .190 AVG. Inserted into the game solely for offense.

Yay Carl is not hitting 3.

Carl - worst 3 hitter in baseball.

If Rowand can get it going in the #3 spot, it's a double win. Everett's a lot better in the 5 spot.

This would be an ideal situation for Borchard. Good defense and as likely to get a big hit as Timo.

If I had to use the players Ozzie uses on a regular basis (Carl)

I would go...

 

Podsednik

Iguchi

Dye

Konerko

Rowand

Uribe

Carl

AJ

Pablo

You'd bat Juan ahead of Carl because of one hot stretch?

Until he cools down, hell yes.

 

 

Rex Hudler.... NOOOOOO!

god damnit, for the first time since i've been down here, fox decides to play the sox game on saturday instead of the cards game. And we're leaving for the game in 5 minutes, bah

I like Josh Lewin.

Scooter needs to be shot. Twice.

Scooter is to baseball, what Mr. Rogers is to children's television programming.

Nice inning by JG.

 

When they showed Bart in the dugout it looked like he had a kids glove on.

Thanks for clearing it up haha.

If the Sox are going to score against Bart, they will have to do it early cause as the game gets going he gets going.
