Let's face it: We're at home. We have a real pitcher going against another no name. We should win. Another loss adds to this monumental collapse. I mean get swept by Cleveland at home?? What's Steve Stone's take been on all this on the radio??

Let's go with lineup of Cabrera, AJP, Dye, Thome, Konerko, Griffey, Ramirez, Swisher, Uribe

 

I really hope this is tomorrow's lineup....Im really positive we are going to win tomorrow. Buehrle isn't going to fail us and our hitting will score enough runs to win. I do think the Twins are going to win tomorrow as well though....

I wish Paulie would bat 4th today. He's been on fire lately.

 

 

also, alexei has seemed to cool off exponentially

Doesn't Buerhle usually have a tough time with Cleveland? I know he's pitched some great games against them, but I think he's worn it more than a couple times. It will be interesting since its short rest, he threw 120 pitches his last start and I really don't think Ozzie wants to call the bullpen phone. Does having Buerhle miss a spring training start come into play here?

 

Buerhle is 1-5 with a 6.75 ERA against Cleveland the last 3 seasons. He's due.

I know one thing, Mark pitches much better at home than he does on the road

 

Opposite for Danks, pitches much better on the road than at home

 

At least, this is what I remember from checking stats, feel free to correct me

as bad/maddening as its been ...you have to admit its exciting that its coming down to the last game or 2 ...a one game playoff

would be historic..not that any of us want it to happen. But a one game playoff for it all...i want to see it

Must, must, must, must, MUST.....Win.

Since logic doesn't apply to this team, I'm left with nothing other than:

They Can't Lose Them All.....Can They?

I'm sure Hawk will mention how difficult it is to sweep a team a few times today.

At the 1st sign of struggle, Gavin better be warming up...all hands on deck today, I dont care who you are or how mant hits you have given up this week...

I have a soundtrack suggestion if anyone would like to turn down Hawk and flip this on

 

Anyone know how to speed up time? This morning is dragging on forever. I can't wait until 1.

Spin the wheel make the deal and win a dam game!

I am debating whether or not to put myself through the agony of watching the game, or just doing homework I have put off because of the Sox earlier in the week and checking at 4.

just for the record...i would not be suprised if the Royals swept the twins. The royals are the hottest team in baseball, and even duckworth has been pretty decetn lately. 3.71 era in his last 3 starts.

 

Royals have won 8 straight road games and 14-3 in their last 17 games. You would of thought they were fighting for a playoff spot. You gotta hand it to the royals for giving us a chance with how bad we are playing.

 

Last night was brutal but lets go back 2 days. A lot of us thought both teams would win the first two, but we both lost. So we are in the same boat. Win 3 in a row vs 3 diffrent teams at home and win the division.

Just Win.

I bet we win today but unfortunately I bet the Twins do as well....

Lets go white sox lets go!

 

*clap*clap*

A 3-game winnning streak is all it takes to get into the playoffs. Judging by how bad the Sox have been in the past 10 games, they are do for something, so why not a 3-game win streak? I am fairly confident we win today, so it depends on the Twins. But we got nobody to blame but ourselves, in the three game series against the Tribe, we faced barely major league pitchers and lost. Tomorrow, if we win today, we get Freddy Garcia on Monday, who also is barely an ML pitcher. Things could not have been made better for this team matchup wise even going back to the Twins series.

I am debating whether or not to put myself through the agony of watching the game, or just doing homework I have put off because of the Sox earlier in the week and checking at 4.

 

If you don't watch, you'll be thinking about it all offseason when there are no games on.

anybody have the lineup?

honestly, i've missed the last 2 games.. and i'm not gonna be thinking about it. I'm gonna be thinking about how cool it is that we get to watch the last week of the season and care about it, regardless of outcome, and i'm going to be certain that we'll have a team worth watching next year as well.
