ok Buehrle pitched pretty well today, and now it's Garcia's turn to keep it up

 

Garcia likes big games, and he has one here

For the love of god can we just sweep a team.

White Sox do not like Sunday games. Go to church/synagogue before the game. Then pitch, hit, and play defense well.

Fat Freddy fashions himself as a big-game pitcher. Hopefully he'll show us all that he really is even with 86 MPH gas.

I'd laugh tomorrow if somehow Freddy "found" his fastball and came out hurling like he did last season.

This feels like a playoff game. If we can win this game, we're right back in this darn thing. If not, then we'll have a ton of work to do to have a shot at the division. CMON Freddy.

 

I'd also like to add that Brian Anderson better be in cf.

Lets go Sweaty Freddy!

:uhoh

Please please please put BA out there for this one Ozzie, we NEED this game.

Once again live up to your name Freddy. Follow the leaders Freddy. Score early and often offense.

ooooh... its a big game AND a day game!!!

 

My prediction? PAIN!

Minor is a righty, correct? And BA's played both games this series, so I'm afraid Mack will be in CF, and there's nothing we can do about it. So let's just hope we can get to Minor, our 3-4-5 has had a couple of slow games and been picked up by the end of the order, they're due to really light someone up.

 

Anyway, Freddy, come on, you'll get no help in Cf, but hopefully they won't hit many balls there. Time to Man up.

Negative. The suck that is Rob Mackowiak in centerfield actually draws more balls to him.

Just talking about Mack in CF saddens me.

 

God it would be pleasant to get to the park tomorrow and see BA in the lineup.

^^^^^^^^^^

 

BTW, nice sig.

Brian NEEDS to be in the lineup.....

 

Fat Freddy WILL find it tomorrow...he has no other choice....

 

Lets whip that ass with a belt, and I can drive home smiling!!!!

He was on Fri. vs the RHP Verlander. I think the sox will go with BA's defense over Mack's offense, esp after BA's big hit on Sat.

A few things to look for:

1] Minor throws a lot of pitches, and can miss the zone. The sox wait him out, make him work, they can get the Det. bullpen by the 5th, 6th inning if not knock him out before.

 

2] If Freddy can live up to his billing as a big game, 'throws well in the day' pitcher.

 

3] See if the middle of the lineup comes back strong after an 'off day' on Sat. Thome, PK and Dye have been feasting on pitchers mistakes. A young guy like Minor should give them a few good pitches to hit

 

4] Pods and Tad vs the RHP Minor. Both hit horribly vs LHP on the year [and went 0-for vs Rogers] and could get back to hitting like they did on Fri.

 

5] See if the tigers panic a bit [defensive lapses, pitches left up in the zone, not hitting their spots, hitters trying to do too much]

 

Prediction--Sox finish the sweep if the pitching comes through. With a rested pen, the sox should be alright even if Freddy has an off day.

someone just please tell freddy that this is a BIG GAME.

I don't know how true this is, but on another board someone said that the only difference in the line up today is that Cintron starts for Iguchi. BA is in center

Glad to see MR. ANderson

BLIP!

 

/pupils dialate

I'm just excited for this game. Finally were on a nice streak, BA still in CF, Big game for Freddy. Tigers feeling (small) pressure; so this is all coming together for a nice sit down and strap it on with a nice premium brewskie type game. Lets enjoy it and not go stupid if we lose please.

I'm happy we won this series. But sweeping Detroit would be huge! Not only will we be only 5.5 back, but they are going to Boston for a 3 game series, while we have a 4 game set vs KC.

Both pitchers seem to be doing a bit better lately, but I can't see the Tigers winning.

Maybe alittle reverse psychology there Bonderman..?
