Metz Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 11:47 PM) Since BS said it... you should probably sit him. Seriesly? So for these 3 games I think the matchups are Javy/Blackburn -- Danks/Baker -- Contreras/Livan Slowey would have been the pitcher for the 3rd game but he got hurt in his first start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowch Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm gonna throw some of my severe optimism out there and say we light Blackburn up!! All the extra base hits in Detroit can only mean tons of long balls in the cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 11:18 PM) Let's go out there and make is 5 in a row. I love the patience of our hitters this year, so much better than any other Sox team I can remember. That's one thing I really can't believe about this crew. They've stopped trying to hit home runs and are just going for the hit to keep the line moving. That's how you play offense. A little patience and the cookie pitch will eventually come. I wanna see number 5 tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Well we've got a little streak going, and let's continue it. I think this'll probably be more of a low scoring series, so the Sox have got to get those timely hits when they get RISP, and keep playing good defense (which they have probably done for the majority thus far). The next 2 series' could really set up our season nicely if we can stay hot. Win 4 or 5, and we'll have won 8 or 9 out of our 1st 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:46 PM) Javy Vazquez will dominate tomorrow, making people all across the globe go, "Chris who?" I apparently will be explaining to 6 billion people tomorrow that his name is Chris Young, the starting CF for the Arizona Diamondbacks who put 32 homers and 27 steals for an upstart team last year, and he currently has splits of .263/.440/.842/1.282 with 3 homers and 2 steals.

And then by having Chris Young, this made Carlos Quentin expendable to them, and they figured they'd need a 1B prospect... not complaining at all now.

Heads22 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 This team deserves a standing O. Not because of last season at all, but because of what we've seen so far this year. Especially Swish, CQ and AJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguy79 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 lets get it done. We need to be able to beat the twins this year, lets make a statement. If we stay patient at the plate we will be in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 10:58 AM) Swisher, CF; Cabrera, SS; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Dye, RF; AJ, C; Quentin, LF; Crede, 3B; Uribe, 2B Lineup is out. Wearing the black tops. Excellent. I can wear my black Crede jersey and fit right in. I was pretty sure that jersey would have become old school during the offseason, but I get to wear it with Joe at least one more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I don't know about you, but the first home game you get to go to. The minute you look onto that field, and when the Entrance Video starts its magical. I like the offense this year. Taking lots of pitches, being patient. Hitting the ball into the gaps. Not relying on the homer. Hopefully they can keep this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I love baseball. The game was just over last night, and I get my fix again this afternoon. Although we have an offday tomorrow...its so much better than bball or football where you have to wait at least 3 days or a whole week for the next game...i watched the game last night, went to bed, got up went to class, and the lineup for todays game is already out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
