joejoesox Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) We also averaged 3.7 RPG, they averaged 3.5 uh yeah, f*** cliff floyd and his two walkoffs, we could've won that series if those two games go the other way i don't necessarily think this is as huge of a mismatch as everyone thinks TB does have the advantage in terms of their rotation is much more fresh, and they have homefield advantage Edited October 1, 2008 by joesaiditstrue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Javy is going to bring his game and pitch 2-run baseball through 7+ innings. If the bats show up, we'll take Game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 10:13 PM) For the record, if we win game 1, we're winning this series. Maybe I'm just being overly optimistic tonight, but I really believe that. That. The Rays are a young, inexperienced team, so psychology is huge here. They are going in very confident, and at home. If the Sox take game 1 and rattle the Rays, I think the Sox have a 2 in 3 chance of winning. If not, I think the Rays get that same 2/3 chance.

Think about that though...the Sox need to win 1 game in Tampa to take home field away. If they win game 1, then the Sox have home field for the rest of the series, if the Rays win it, they keep home field at least to game 2. Without worrying about the psychology at all I think those 2/3 chances are right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Also Sox fans notoriously travel well to the Tampa area and live in that area. So there should be a bunch Sox fans at the games per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I would like to see Thome and Konerko hit a couple of those home runs down in Tampa that hit the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Getting off to a quick start in the Trop Dome would be huge in this series. Getting on base and scoring a couple of runs in the first inning could really sow the seeds of doubt for a team that has never been there before. The longer the game stays scoreless or Tampa is ahead, the better chance they have in the entire series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a mild case of OCD makes me not want to see a blip like that one loss. A perfect 11-0 would be more like it. Speaking of OCD, I was driving my wife crazy every time I pointed out someone wearing a green Sox cap or any other non-black attire last night. I don't know how she's going to put up with me for the next 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 If we can somehow steal this one, we'd be in fantastic shape. I fully expect a loss(no confidence in Javy) but hopefully he proves me wrong. GO SOX!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
