When casting your vote, assume that proper rest can be provided to whomever we plan to send out there (don't say it can't be B-Mac cause he just pitched two nights ago). Basically, when setting up our rotation for the postseason.....which of our pitchers to you think gives us the best shot to post a W in game #1?

Jon Garland. He's been our top pitcher against the best teams all season.

Freddy. He's proven to be a big game pitcher, plus he has postseason experience.

OH shoot, now we have to watch out for the poll police

I'd much rather save Garcia and Buehrle for road games, assuming the Sox have home field IF they make it.

Garcia at home in October doesn't worry me.

ask me in 2 weeks

It should go Garland, Garcia, BMAC, Conteras... Mark will take BMAC's spot...

it's MB without a doubt. Jon is new at this "being good" thing, and Freddy has been relatively inconsistant all season, whereas this is a new thing for MB. Mark has led our rotation for years, he should be the no. 1 be it opening day or the playoffs.

Who's your game 1 starter?

 

thats right, I voted for Contreras. Thats right. Go with the hot hand, and the potentialy dominating stuff. Im going with the splitter, the forball, the change, the Sidearm fastball, the power. im hoping for a cold day, a day where the bats dont come alive. Where the batters are caught between mid-90's fastballs and fluttering forkballs. Where a giant immigrant shuts down the other team and sets the tone for the series.

 

I voted for Jose

Game 1? I believe Contrares is scheduled to pitch tonight

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Buehrle, no question

OK, Who voted Duke?

Holy cow, Ozzie Guillen posts on Soxtalk!!! Quick, someone set up a poll asking who should leadoff in game 1 of the playoffs, and put Timo as an option. He'll fall right into that trap.

Me too.

no one voted for Garland?

Uh, who is the opponent?

 

By the way, Count might be doing the best right now, but Freddy has been our most consistent pitcher this year. He's never been our best, but you usually know what he's gonna give you, that's being consistent.

DAMASO MARTE!

I feel what you're saying Rock. Problem is, what will the cold do to our already cold bats?
