Since that time, we've had a chance to sweep a series 6 times. We've failed to do so all 6 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecoyne Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 One thing I would like to say about Vasquez and his start tonight against the Yankees. . . Â If you are expecting a repeat performance of 8 innings of 2 hit 1 run ball from him, you are going to be very disapointed. Javy was facing a struggling Blue Jay team that had just been through a horrendous road stretch against the likes of Oakland and the Yankees. As long as he makes it through 6 innings giving up 4 runs or less, I would qualify that as a good start for him, for these reasons: Â (1) Mussina is very talented, but like Mark Buerhle, he "lives on the corners". In his last start against Baltimore, Mussina was not getting the calls, and eventually gave up 3 runs over 5 innings, a very un-Mussina like start. Given the umpiring of this series (bad for both sides), Mussina may struggle and end up leaving earlier than expected. This leads me to . . . Â (2) The Yankee bullpen. The White Sox should be commended for the hurting it put on the Yankee bullpen over the past two games. Over the past two games, Farnsworth pitched 16 and 29 pitches respectively, Villone has pitched 23 and 12 respectively. Rivera has pitched 15 and 26 respectively. These guys are not well rested individuals. That leaves Joe Toree with the likes of Sidney Ponson, Scott Proctor, Mike Myers and Veras. If I was a Yankee fan, those names would not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling if the game is close. Â This White Sox team has proven time and time again that no lead is safe in the Cell, if Javy can keep the game within reach, I would say he is making progress and the alterations he has made to his delivery are really making a difference. Â Should be a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) Inclement weather has delayed the start of tonight's game at US Cellular Field. Tarp is on the field.

I don't think you should take anything away from Javy's 2 hit performance. Slump or not, Toronto is a kick ass offensive team and Javy shut them down. With that said...I'd like to see it again before I start believing his "fixed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
