Jon Garland 2-1, 9.18 v. Jamie Moyer 0-2, 4.07

 

The White Sox will attempt to reach a nine-game winning streak tonight behind right-hander Jon Garland in the spacious Safeco Field, a mark the World Champion 2005 White Sox team never reached.

 

Let's keep Scott Podsednik going. Podsednik is hitting .353 during the eight-game winning streak.

nice, an addy game thread.

I was too nervous to start a game thread myself, since I'm still 0-for-the-regular-season. Thanks Addy.

 

Come on Jon. We've still not won 9 consecutive in like 25 years, unless you are willing to ignore the end of last season & count game 1 of this year.

 

Step it up big man.

Getting #9 would be sweet. Let's take care of business in the West Coast.

Sox are tied with Houston for best record in baseball.

 

Garland out to continue the winning streak...

 

 

Lets make it 2 QS in a row, Johnnie. Show NO MERCY!!!!!!!

I think CSN will be covering the Bulls tonight. Does that mean the game will be on CSN+ or possibly not even televised?

CSN+ until the Bulls game and postgame are over then the game will be on CSN as well.

Lets get this west coast trip going in the right direction

yay 9 pm start, bulls game ending should sync up with about the 2nd are 3rd inning, instead of the end of the game like saturday

Let's go Garland, lets make our way around the starting staff with everyone getting victories again!

 

And I couldn't agree more about Pods, its almost scary how his play is SOOO closely tied to the success of this team, he needs to keep it up!

I honestly don't think it's nearly as big of a factor as it was early in the year last season. This year, we're winning because we're hitting the long ball, and we're getting very good starting pitching.

Oh, I absolutely agree with that too. Not only is it the long ball, but hitting in general, this team is bad ass at the plate. Its not that his play is so directly tied to their success, its more indirect, more...coincidental. They are definately clicking right now, and dominating this road trip would be awesome!

 

go sox lets make this number 9

Lineup?

9 in a row would be great, but I'm not watching because LTP won't be there

Lets just go ahead and say that the M's have been off to a lousy start and we are not about to let them begin to heat up. another 3 game sweep is a-brewing and we will take a 11 game win streak into Los Angeles California right around the Anaheim area just North of Orange County and Just south of Fullerton County. Sox roll through this with ease.

f*** the M's, what's a mariner anyway?

 

Sox 7 - M's 3

JiYea!!!

Jon Garland is 6-1 with a 2.48 ERA in 10 career appearances against the Mariners.

Lineup?

Not out yet.

They said on Tribune Live that Dye took himself out of the lineup tonight because he can't hit Moyer.

 

I wonder if Ozzie will give Gload a start in RF.

I think Dye's been wanting a day off for a few days. On Saturday, he was surprised he was in the lineup against Radke, who he's struggled against.

If thats true, my money is on Mack getting the start.

Come on, Dye is on fire right now. I'm not sure there is anyone he cant hit right now (okay, thats a bit extreme)! Don't die on me Dye! Keep it up!
