Be very afraid of wounded animals. Right now the Cubs scare me. They have nothing to play for BUT this series right now. This would be the only thing they could hang thier hats on this season... beating the World Champs and the challenger to their population trophy. I don't think winning this seires would mean as much to the Sox as it would to the Cubs. That concerns me.

 

Yep, they seem to be slowly coming out of their funk and we don't exactly look like WS Champs after dropping 2 of 3 to TB AND being passed up byt the Tigers.

I feel pretty good about this series, even if we lose we have a trophy they dont.

Nervous and pumped.

 

Need a strong series

I'll say this, if Jacque starts today, Dusty is an idiot and I'm sure he is telling Dusty he can't hit Buehrle at all.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Happy?

Much better.

This game will last about an hour and some change

 

Sox Win 6-1. Thome goes yard on Maddox.

 

The cubs betters will cry about every strike called.

Mack is in of course.

 

Pods, LF

Iguchi, 2B

Thome, DH

PK, 1B

Dye, RF

AJ, C

Crede, 3B

Mack CF

Cintron, SS.

 

Cintron is 2-3 all time against Maddux with a HR.

Love that lineup.

I smell a very comfortable victory.

This is my fav line-up. I feel great about this weekend.

This was also included in the blog:

 

The team arrived home around 1:30 am. By 9 am Neal Cotts was in the clubhouse to work out ("I wake up the same time every day. It doesn't matter when I go to sleep," he said.). Ozzie Guillen was going through mail in his office, and Joey Cora was bouncing around from task to task.

 

Cotts is awesome, seriously I love that guy.

Uribe > Cintron

Ha I liked that, because I'm the exact same way. I always wake up quarter til 10, if I don't have to wake up to an alarm no matter what I do.

Nice lineup. Glad to see Cintron starting over Uribe.

What? You don't think Uribe would be able to handle Maddux's offspeed stuff? If I remember correctly, Uribe has had some pathetic ABs vs Maddux in the past.

Freddy hasn't recorded a hit in 2 AB's vs. Maddux. I see no way we overcome that and win today.

I'll say this, if Jacque starts today, Dusty is an idiot and I'm sure he is telling Dusty he can't hit Buehrle at all.

I bet his reasoning will be he is a Sox killer

I wouldn't be surprised. We all know Dusty is the epitome of managerial competence.

Let's just win. It is embarrasing to lose 2 of 3 to Tampa Bay. Looks like Jose should be back by Sunday which will help alot.

Just win, baby!

This was quote on phog.net, my jayhawks message board...I loved it

 

F--- the Cubs is my sentiment exactly.

 

What f---ing team ever has been so popular without ever actually doing anything?

 

What gets me are people in Kansas who claim to be Cubs fans and b!tch about how they have it so tough. WTF?!?! No one forced you to be a Cubs fan! You just follow the crowd because its the chic thing to do. Why don't you try sticking with your region and be a die-hard Royals fan in the smallest market in baseball with no hope in hell of making the playoffs in the forseeable future, ever?

 

Hell, you have the entire city of Chicago behind you and a national television station showing all your games, and you were in a League Championship Series not three years ago. Whining about how tough it is . . . GMAFB.

 

 

Cheers.

The Cream of the Crop vs. the Crap

 

The Toast of the town vs. The Joke of the Town

Also just another fun fact, Alex Cintron has faced Scott Williamson once in his career, he picked up a hit in that at bat. That just happened to be a homer. One more thing on Alex Cintron, he's 2-3 against Eyre too.

 

As for the rest of the lineup, career's Vs Maddux:

 

Pods: 5-24, 3 2B, 4 K

Iguchi: 1-6, K

Thome: 2-16, 2B, 2 K, BB

Konerko: 4-10, 2B, 4 RBI, K

Dye: 3-9, HR, 2 RBI

Pierz: 6-11, 2B, 2 RBI, K

Crede: 1-9, HR, K

Mack: 8-37, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 6 K

Cintron: 2-3, HR

 

Kong, Dye, Pierz, Cintron ---> Big days today
