might as well start it up for tonights game

 

it's not a must win game as many people on this board seem to think, but it would be a really nice boost heading to the detroit series for the weekend

 

Javvy needs to prove that saturday wasn't a fluke and the hitting needs to keep it up

 

Vazquez will make a lot of amends with me if he pitches well tonight. Another mediocre start by him in a big game, and I think it will be pretty obvious what he really is. Mussina has had a good year, but he can be had, and the White Sox do have a nice offense. This is a big game, the Sox don't want to fall to 1-3 on the homestand with the Tigers coming in. A win here, and a nice weekend could be the beginning of a nice streak. Prove me wrong Javy and step up and shut the Yankees down.

I will make an appearance at the Cell. My presence seems to have a positive effect on the team.

I'll be gracing the park as well. A win here, and I'd call the series a success.

 

Keep up the new found stuff, Vaz!!!

At what point do games start becoming must-wins? Is it after we find ourselves in a race with 3 other teams for 2 playoff spots? Or when we find ourselves in second place for the WC?

 

Yeah, I'd say it's a must-win game. We're going to have to keep winning every series to make the playoffs.

We're 1-4 against the Yankees this year.

We're now falling behind in the Wild Card, and we're several games behind the Yankees as well.

We've got the Tigers this weekend, who were beaten last night by the Twins. It'd be nice to have momentum against them.

 

This is the definition of a must win game.

 

Javier Vazquez can forgive a lot of ills by repeating his Toronto performance tonight.

It sure is. Don't fool yourself into thinking it isn't.

I'll be there too tonight for the 3rd night in a row. I saw magic one night, near magic the second, and hopefully a White Sox winner for the third.

Don't forget the Twins start a 4 game series against Toronto, and they won't be facing Halladay. If we struggle this wknd, we could easily find ourselves 3 games back.

It seems like we've heard the phrase "must-win game" 10 times this season...

When you don't win the games you're supposed to win, you wind up with more games you can't afford to lose. The Tigers don't have many Must-win games right now.

the time for this team to come together and go on a nice long winning streak is without a single doubt... NOW!

yeah, a whopping 1/2 game back in the WC (tied in the loss column) and a staggering 2 behind the yankees.

 

this is not a must win game. It would be better to win than lose, but the Sox are not going to go 50-0 in their remaining 50 games. I know, this may come as a let down. But win 2 of 3 and you'll have won 4 straight three game series. I'll take that pace with a seven or eight game win streak mixed in.

please javy

i'll be at the game tonight, sec 536 row 21 seat 10, blue hey mercedes shirt, green sox hat.

 

 

please Javy bring your A game.

Javy, just stick with fastball, changeup, slider (in that order) and do your thing like last start.

Big game ..yes

 

Must win ..no, not even close

Tonight would be a good time to really prove you may indeed be turning a corner, Javy.

 

7+ innings, less than 3 runs - Please.

The mental midget vs. Mussina? Ugh.

Javy and Mark shaving their Danny Wright/Kyle Orton half-beards would go a long way towards success.

Let's go Boys!! Time to take the series...I know you were saving the sweep for Detroit so it's cool.

I'm going...last second decision. I really don't want to sit in traffic for 2 hours and than risk having to sit near loud mouth NY fans, but I will make it work.

Go Palehose!

I'll be in section 542, row 5 tonight. Anyone else going can feel free to stop by and have a beer with the Sqwert.

milkman: it is not a must win game

 

it is august 10th and we find outselves 1/2 game out of a playoff spot. It would be great to win, but the season isn't over if we lose
