September 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(winodj @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) Magic Number is 11 4 wins against Cleveland put the magic number down to 3. 3 wins against everyone else put the magic number down to 0. That would be enough. 6 wins against Cleveland put the magic number down to -1.

September 19, 200520 yr I don't like mathematics this time of year. We just have to play good baseball and pitch well cause it appears our hitting may not be comin' back.
September 19, 200520 yr We scored 4 runs, hit no homers, got shutout in one game and managed to win a series 2 games to 1. I'm not saying the Sox are back but that sounds like alot of series recaps we had in April and May (minus the shutout).

September 19, 200520 yr Where would we be without Jose right now? I can't believe I'm even saying that. We took 2 of 3. I don't care how we did it. It's moment of truth time now. We're gonna find out what these guys are really made of.
September 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 08:36 PM) Oh yes , Score 4 runs in 3 games and win 2 of them. Great pitching all the way around. Bring it on Cleveland , let's rock ! That's the problem, not tryin to be a downer. We only score 4 runs in 3 games and still win 2. How are u happy with that. We got lucky that we had 2 awsome preformances those days from or pitching. I wouldnt be too exticed about that.

September 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 03:16 AM) So hitting is all skill and pitching is luck? no thats not what im sayin. We had some 18 hits in 3 games and only scored 4 times. Why are people happy with that. Im not. That will come back to bit someone in the ass. that will not work in the postseason(if we make it there). If we get 18 hits in three games. we better scored more that 4 times. The offense got lucky that 2 of our pitchers had awsome days on the mound.

The offense got lucky that 2 of our pitchers had awsome days on the mound. That's how we've won all year. All of us would like the offense to score more but we win on the basis of pitching and defense and when we were going good that's how we won, period. People say we can't win that way in the playoffs but we can, we proved against the yankees that it's possible. If we can get Buehrle back on track then it's definitely possible. Contreras is there right now, he's just f***in awesome at this point and Freddy will be there if we get in the post season because that's what Freddy does. Hopefully we get there and then we can argue about this some more.

We won 2 out of 3 and you're whining about us not padding our stats? Minnesota scored more runs this series than us and Johan pitched far better than Jon or Contreras. They obviously had the better series.
