July 9, 201510 yr Winning the series vs Toronto plus Shark's great game, certainly increases the interest in this three game series. No DH, so I wonder what the Cubs' plan for Schwarber is? Can't wait.

July 9, 201510 yr This was kind of the series I was looking forward to either way, now the Sox have crept right back onto the fringe of the playoff picture and it might matter for real. Maybe we wont collapse this time who knows.

I had to go last night as the girlfriend is a Cubs fan - it sucks. I am going again Saturday for a bachelor party and will be excited to see Sale. It really sucks at Wrigley - there's no room to walk around, the food sucks and takes forever to get and I just prefer the Cell (half empty, good food, lots of room). Here's to hoping the Sox take 2 of 3 so that they can keep improving. (Even if I know it's unlikely for the White Sox to make a run for a Wild Card spot, it's nice to beat medicore, good and bad teams along the way). Edited July 9, 201510 yr by MuckFinnesota
July 9, 201510 yr With no Danks pitching and Sale going I like our chances to take the series. I also wouldn't be surprised if we scored 4 runs total in the 3 games.
July 9, 201510 yr Saturday is the battle between the pitcher that can't hold anyone on and the team that can't steal successfully. With that said, I don't like Lester's chances of getting a hit off of Sale.
July 9, 201510 yr opinion: I hate attending cubs sox games. Just a bunch of drunk meatheads yelling lame insults the whole game. "Hey! Hey You! Sox Suck! Go back to the southside! hahaha yeahhhhhhh PITBULLLLL"

July 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 04:54 PM) Also, the Cubs looooove to strike out. I'm kinda excited to see how Sale does. 2nd most K's in the league for them, team with the most is Houston and their poor approaches led to them scoring 10 runs against the Sox in 6 games. Good matchup for Rodon too.

Good matchup for Rodon too. Cubs take a lot of pitches, and I'll be pleasantly surprised if Rodon makes it 6 innings. I'm sure he'll hit Rizzo with a pitch or two.

Go back to the southside! hahaha yeahhhhhhh PITBULLLLL" At least the Sox aren't owned by some hick from Nebraska who bought the team with his dad's money to self-authenticate himself as a real Chicagoan the same way self obsessed Columbia students do by moving to Logan Sq. Make that into a chant, someone.
July 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 07:57 PM) Who starts at short, Gordo or Alexi? Depends on how healthy Alexei feels tomorrow.
