Going for my second game thread win in a row.... GO SOX

Edited September 3, 200619 yr by letsgoarow

I really don't feel good with Freddy on the mound

Come on Freddy, we need you to step it up massive tomorrow. There is no game left that is not a big game. We need a big game from you. We don't need a shutout. All I want is a quality start. 6 innings, 3 runs. Give us that and give it to the bullpen.

 

Come on guys, 4-2 against these 2 teams is respectable. In this last 32-game stretch, if we win every series, that gives us about 96 wins. We can't afford to lose series, we need to win this one tomorrow.

I hope Sweeney starts today. I really want to see him in some big leaue action.

yeah, i would love Ryan to start. IMO, Ryan is a .280 at worst right way in the bigs. If he can hit well, I hope Oz just keeps him there for the rest of the year and it leads into next year. the kid is a stud and a very underrated stud in terms of prospect value. He's a four tool player minus the speed, but by no means is he slow.

Ryan Sweeney just seems like the type of rookie that you call-up, and he will produce right away, doesn't he? He will be a stud, anyone with that swing will be a stud.

Hoping for the best, expecting the worst today. This blurb troubles me...

 

Redman discovered a new pitch, the cutter, in holding the league's best-hitting team at bay. Only one Twin reached second base and Redman did not walk a batter as the Royals recorded their second shutout of the roadtrip.

 

let's hope he loses it as fast as he found it.

 

If the Sox don't win today, they don't deserve to make the playoffs anyway. Having said that, I feel confident the Sox will win today.

 

Hopefully the Twins and Tigers lose.

I would not mind seeing a... Sweeney-Anderson-Dye. That would be the best defensive outfield we have put out there this whole season. No disrespect to Macko, but Sweeney is damn good and has actually played in the outfield his whole minor league career.

Just win...

 

Any lineups yet?

I've been meaning to ask - where does one find the announced lineups prior to gametime anyway?

Sometimes the radio announces them, sometimes on Reifert's blog and then on MLB gameday.

Before the series with Tampa, many said 4-2 is the worst the Sox have to go if they are serious about the playoffs. After 5 games the Sox are 3-2 and need to win this game to meet the modest 4-2 goal.

No ryan sweeney. Pablo starting in LF again. I'm really bummed out now.

I know nothing about Sweeney, but I can't wait to see him and his sexy swing.

 

Pick up win #80 today plz.

It was highly unlikely his first start would have come against a lefty anyhow. We could see him in the game though if we can get to the KC pen.

Ozuna, LF

Iguchi, 2B

Dye, RF

Thome, DH

Konerko, 1B

Crede, 3B

Pierzynski, C

Anderson, CF

Uribe, SS

 

Would have loved to see Sweeney start in left but other than that, me likey the Sunday Lineup.

Ozuna LF

Gooch 2b

Dye RF

Thome DH

Konerko 1b

Crede 3b

Pierzynski C

Thome back in. I hope he can actually run today. If he's still like Friday night, ugh!

 

Gload should have been somewhere in that starting lineup today. Other than that, looks good---no Pods, and Anderson in CF!

I understand and agree with the philosophy of "going with your best," but if your best isn't healthy, he's probably not your best option. I'd like to see Thome sit for a week especially with Gload hitting well.

 

If the Sox are to repeat, I think they'll need good contributions from Contreras and Thome. Ozzie needs to make sure they're healthy as can be for October baseball.

just for the record... the twins are losing 4-1 at the moment

Thats 5 k's in a row for Dye. Looks like he needs a day off
