Had a pretty solid run last year on starting these things, and since everyone else is scared of Johan, I'll get us going here!!

 

 

Santana (0-2, 5.71) vs. Buehrle (2-0, 2.25)

 

Not the best track record against Johan obviously, but I didn't realize it was this bad last year:

 

The crafty left-hander actually went 4-0 (16-7 overall), with two shutouts and a 0.92 ERA, in five starts against Chicago last season. The White Sox hit just .175 against Santana with 44 strikeouts.

 

 

 

SOX 6 - Twinks 2

Im going to the game... my only problem is lol I dont know how to get there not using the Dan Ryan.

I'd rather catch Santana now, since he's been struggling, than after he finds his groove. Which he undoubtedly will.

No joke. I hope he struggles for one more game. Thome is due!!

 

Nice avatar by the way, I have that poster on my wall. Thats a pretty nice thing for the Cubune to do.

The pregame report says he's been relying almost exclusively on his fast ball

 

Something happen to that devastating change up?

Thanks. I have the Sun-Times special insert mounted and framed on my wall.

This is a huge game. Two perennial Cy Young candidates facing off; the Sox are the hottest team in baseball 9-1 in last 10; and Minnesota always plays the Sox tough.

 

Sox 4-2, Crede HRs.

 

Lets keep the streak going

I'll be going to the game tonight and I'll be hoping for a better performance (from Sox hitters.....not Johan) than the last time I saw Santana face the Sox. Yikes he was dominating!

Yay it's my birthday!

 

Also got great seats to the game tonight, Let's start this series off with a bang.

Mark, you know what to do.

 

Bats...be strong.

 

Go get em boys. This would be a very nice win to have.

Maybe he is just having problems with his release point similar to what Buehrle went through at the tail end of the season last year. I guess when the release point is pretty messed up, your changeup starts to look like a BP fastball

Game is at 7:35. Someone change the title of the thread.

Got it.

I'll bet at this game tonight and I'm amped!

Special thx to THE WOOD and Steff, for the hook ups.

 

Santana has not been himself so far this year, but he has a way of stepping up against us.

Should be a fun game. Let's try and keep this hot streak going against a much better Minnesota team.

Actually the pitching matchups for the entire series look good.

It really has not been that bad at all, so ya might as well take it.

I think the entire construction is over-hyped. From Tinley we got to the game in 30 mins, and got home in 25 mins last monday night. It wasnt bad at all.

Good for the Sox fans..

Maybe because so many people have been avoiding it? If more people start to think it's not bad and decide to start using it again, you might see some delays.

Sox are 6-0 in games I've seen in person that Buehrle started. Let's hope the streak continues, GO SOX!!

I think we finally hit Santana this year.

 

 

sox - 4

Twins - 2

big game to win,

Im excited to be going, Go Buehrle!
