I'm still 5-1....

We finally got a call to go our way and we got the win cause of it. We need to go in there and capitalize on this now. We need to go play with some balls out on the West Coast.

 

 

Garland........Its all up to you now.

 

RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any game we dont hit, f*** up a leadoff triple, and still win. LOL

 

Momentum is on our side.

 

Tough challenge with Big John Lackey.

 

 

MAKE ANGELS EAT RALLY MONKEY s***

Let's leave no doubt about this game. No controversy, just a good, solid White Sox Winner!

All I ask is for 3 or 4 runs behind Garland.

 

Pleeeease?

GO SOX!!

 

 

This game is so huge, if we can win this one we would have put ourselves in absolutely terrific shape. GO SOX!!!!!!!!

Well, we've played awful in the first two, so we're due for a good game here somewhere.

 

PS - John Lackey is by far the ugliest player in baseball.

Hafner and Gibbons are uglier.

 

Contreras and Jenks and Borchard are no prize either.

This should be a good matchup, garland and lackey, two of the better pitchers this year facing off, im a little worried about garland not pitchin for a while but hell maybe it might help him, we need to score on lackey early otherwise hes gonna ring up those Ks and become unhitable, go sox

Ezekial Astacio. Astros.

 

Big Jon...do your thing.

That man is the living embodiment of the word "s***-head".

 

I think Garland is gonna step up big time. I expect the offense to be much better on the road.

They need to stop practicing their golf swing on every damn piece of crap thrown in the dirt. That absolutely killed us tonight.

The pitching staff has just ROCKED so far this post-season...........as I expected them to.......now the hitters gotta step it up a couple of notches and give em some help.

I hope to hell that Escobar catches Washburn's sickness. He threw 39 pitches and I don't want to see him ever again.

I told wite before this series started that escobar worried me more then any other pitcher on their staff.

Big Jon has a good game, I can feel it.

During the flight to the coast, hopefully the Sox decide to pull their collective heads out of their collective asses because they've played some pretty stupid baseball the last two games.

And I told you he was hittable, even considering.

 

Bad thing you were right - because he was tough as nails tonight - but it is also a good thing I was right.

 

 

Anyways, the key to game 3, atleast for Garland, is control. If a little research were done, I'm sure you'd find Garland's ERA is much higher when he walks a lot then when he does not. Hell, what I hadn't realized until I finally looked at the numbers was that Garland has only improved on his walk total this year...and that is exactly why he had anywhere close to 20 wins.

 

If he doesn't walk anybody and goes 7 strong...I say we win.

I think you could say that about each and every pitcher on this team.

 

Look at Jose. What's been different for him in the 2nd half? The league actually has a slightly higher batting average against him in the 2nd half...but in slightly more innings, he walked 27 post all-star as opposed to 48 pre all-star.
