How many pro athletes step up their game and completely dominate when they're sick?! I'm a little worried about Washburn tonight. He needs to throw a couple wild pitches and get down in the count, the way Clement pitched. If he's on his game, it won't be good!

 

Before the series started, I told a friend of mine I wouldn't be surprised if we lost 3 in a row.. after winning 8 in a row.. and then after losing 3 in a row, we'll go on another 8 game winning streak, enough to win the World Series! That's typically how things have been going in 2005.

We need to get all Chicagoans with a cold to sit behind the Angels dugout. Anything to help. Even if in means putting Ex Lax in the Angels room service.

No need for a long post.

Do or die time for all these guys.

Lets be at 1-1 and head to LA.

 

Sox.

 

^^^^^^

Well said. No more whining about how we should have won with better execution, etc. Game 1 is over, and no matter what happened, the Angels won! It's a brand new ballgame tonight...and hopefully the team/manager learned some things last night.

Ugh... seven more hours...

Let's even this s*** back up.

Thx to last night, every game from now on in this series is the biggest one of the year.

Washburn said he feels 100%, so let's not get into that "oh, we should kick his ass' mind set. It didn't work too well last night, did it? We need to not beat ourselves and a vintage Mark performance.

This series is going to 7 games. Tonites game is HUGE! Esspecially since we don't play too well out West.

Well, if we know there will be a game 7, who cares about tonight's?

 

And true to form, the White Sox couldnt get over the 8 game winning streak hump.

Not only that, but I think after every 8 game streak, they have lost at least two in a row

 

 

Seriously, just keep the walks down and keep the top of their lineup off the basepaths and the Sox should be able to take what will be a low scoring battle.

 

SFF

couldn't have said it better myself. I hate this 'assuming we are going to hammer a pitcher" B.S. If a pitcher is pitching in the playoffs- he is GOOD! And Washburn is good. It should be a close game. WE need to get off to an early lead. Like a big 3-4 spot in the first 3 innings. The crowd really needs to be into it as well.

lose tonight and were going home IMO

 

cant afford to be down 2-0 with 3 out west

 

STEP IT UP BOYS

 

btw - washburn is a beast on the road this year

You can throw out all the stats as far as playoff baseball is concerned.

Have to work so won't be able to watch consistently.

 

CRUSH EM!!!!

To the Angels:

 

I Wanna eat your children.

 

Yours truly,

 

Mike Tyson, Cannibal

Let's start out 5th 8 game winning streak of the year!

I'll be there...most likely a '59 Sox jacket and my DePaul cap with the old logo...

 

My 1st baseball playoff game!...I'm like a damn giddy school girl...

Let's start out 5th 8 game winning streak of the year!

I love it when you analyze!

All righty guys, I am outta here, headed down the Red Line for my first ever ALCS baseball game. Hold down the fort and lets get us a White Sox Winner!!!

 

I have the camera with me, so as long as the rain holds off I should get some good pictures.

Hmph, I'm not sure if this belongs here, in its own Pale Hose thread, or in it's own SLaP thread.

 

Senator Barack Obama is slated to throw out the first pitch tonight.

Lets get em tonight guys!!!

Anywhere on the net to watch the game/ I don't get FX-I'm worried

Im new to here but im actually from southsiders.net so im not really new.......

I think we will be fine the rest of the series. Look at the facts:

- there are potentially six games left

- The Angels do not have Bartolo Colon to lean on

-We have a well rested Buerhle on the mound against a sick (illness, not awesomeness) Washburn

-We have Freddy Garcia on the mound Friday, who is an amazing road pitcher and always steps up his performance in big games

-Yesterday's game was a wake-up call to the White Sox, who will defininately step up their performance today

-Our starting pitching is much better than the Angel's, thus we can get deeper in games and not use our bullpen as much, who will thus be rested and ready to go

-We lost by one run yesterday, it was not a blowout by any means and Jose pitched fine after the third. Plus, we lost basically due to mental mistakes.

-Etc. ( I could go on, but I have to get to a meeting)

 

Off to the Red Line I go for my 1st, but hopefully not last, ALCS Sox game.

 

Hope I see a winner.

Lots of them. Let's roll.
