I hate watching us play the A's.

 

Let's turn this week into a pleasant surprise. Contreras, try showing up this time.

Atleast this year we won't experience the wrath of Frank Thomas to go with the A's, maybe that gives us a little bit of a chance? I mean... Mike Piazza? He doesn't scare me nearly as much as Big Frank.

4-23

 

Well, we actually have had decent luck against Harden over the years, as opposed to Santana or Sabathia.

 

I'd settle for one out of 3, although 2/3 would be GREAT.

Yes, 2/3 would be sexcellent.

Righties throwing fastballs are ok with me. Im thinking Jimbo has the magic touch!!!

Lead us to the promised land, Jimbos...maggs got us started with a couple wins, time for the same at least!!

 

I'd assume the normal lineup tonight as well, hopefully the lift and pull method against Johan will not linger for the guys.

I like the fact that we are facing Harden the day after Santana, might make it a little easier for the guys.

lets change some stuff this time around.....on a side unrelated note how bout that entourage season premiere last night jimbo

It really set the season up very nicely. The whole cherades scene was very funny, and I loved the new Ari angle with Medallion.

The pitching is stepping up now, so lets get our hitting goin so we can go on one of our runs. I feel like we are going to get a big run pretty soon here, its just all about Thome and JD getting hot, though. The pitching so do fine against Oakland, but if our hitting can get going, a 5-8 game win streak is quite possible.

Weird things happen in Oakland...im scared

Jose needs to step it up now.

I'd like to see Mack in right one of these first two games. Dye looks really lost right now. Yet another case of spring training meaning s***.

After coming home with our newborn yesterday and given her eating schedule, I may have to introduce her to how bad the Sox are in Oak-town very early in life....

 

She got to hear all about how much I hated Podsednik over the weekend ...

 

Lets hope the Count gets it back together and pitches like he is capable.

 

I really hate the trips out to that godforsaken ballpark, but hopefully we can head to 'the Jake' with a few more wins under our belt....

congrats

Um, let's make it easy and just sweep 'em. Sound alright to you guys?

hopefully jose can give us atleast 6 great innings. our pen will do the rest, its been lights out lately

Let's get this one. Odds are Harden will get hurt again and we'll have a shot!!!!

Congrats, we brought our newest born home this morning

Congrats chisox72 and wsoxmatt!

Let's just hope that we don't give them 4 runs. Harden is just deadly when he gets at least 4 runs of support.

You can usually count on one fluke play a series benefiting Oakland.

 

I'm going to say Podsednik will attempt to field a long fly ball at the LF wall, misplay it, and have it touch his glove and fly over the fence for a HR. This HR will be the deciding factor in the game.

I just hope Count decides to actually pitch today....

Harden is 27-0 when he gets 4 or more runs of support. Crap.

 

 

So lets hold'em to 3.

Any ideas who the umps are for this series.

 

I'm hoping we don't see Froemming, CB Bucknor, Angel Hernandez, or Hunter Wendelstedt.
