nitetrain8601 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Jose Contreras has to start game 1. He's become a true ace and a stopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go-sox05 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 yeah i like Gload being in the playoffs. Id like to see him get some playing time in the upcoming series with clevland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like we can set this up perfectly. Jose for game 1, Mark, Freddy, Jon. We should be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I'd like to see the reserves, but I don't want complete reserves. I don't want to have a lineup of: C-Raul Casanova 1B-Ross Gload 2B-Willie Harris 3B-Pablo Ozuna SS-Geoff Blum RF-Brian Anderson CF-Timo Perez LF- Joe Borchard DH - Chris Widger I'll puke if I see more than 3 of those guys starting in any of the games this weekend.

longshot7 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 you only got 23 on the roster. Take McCarthy & El Duque and Hermy & Jenks. However, I don't see Gload - Ozzie doesn't like him. Pencil in Blum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYGarland Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 QUOTE(MinnySoxFan @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 01:55 PM) McCarthy instead of Garland maybe? Are you kidding me? That would be the ultimate insult to a guy who won 17 games. McCarthy should be the long guy, in case 1 of the starters doesn't have it.

Buehrle>Wood Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Can Gload even be on the Playoff roster? Didn't you have to be called up before September 1st to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Wow! Dump Garland for McCarthy? I thought everybody would say El Duque. Although, if he's the playoff ace... Hmm. But DEFINITELY start Contreras first. No doubt. I agree with the lineups. And goddammit Podsednik, start STEALING BASES! I don't care you're hurt. Then RUN FASTER!

RockRaines Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 JC should start game 1, he is the dominant power pitcher that everyone loves in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he is going to start three games in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Garcia came out and pitched great today, I hope he can bring that to the playoffs. If Contreras can stay like he's been, we will have a very deep pitching staff going into this. Hernandez and McCarthy in the bullpen should help us.

Well i think PK, Rowand, AJ, and Uribe could use some much needed time off. I'd let PAblo, Gload, Timo, and Widger get some playing time in this weeken to get them prepared for the playoffs.

JUGGERNAUT Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) Rotation: #1 Contreras, #2 Buerhle, #3 Garcia, #4 Garland Long Relief: BMac, El Duque. Short Relief: NCotts, CPolitte, Marte, Jenks, Hermanson Lineup: #1 Pods, Iguchi, Jurassic, Kong, Dye, Uribe, AJ, Crede, Rowand I think Uribe & Crede have proven themselves late to move up. I see Rowand as the weakest hitter in the lineup right now. Bench:Widger, Gload, Harris, Ozuna, Anderson Edited September 29, 2005 by JUGGERNAUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 2 small differences from Juggs. 1. I leave El Duque off the playoff roster in favor of Viz. Viz has simply been better. 2. You only have 24 people on your 25 man. Include Timo as a backup outfielder and you're set. 3. Blum versus Gload? Gload is better with the bat, but Blum can also play 3b.
