C.C Sabathia against the White Sox...few stats

**Illusion** · 04-01-06, 09:15 PM

This is an excellent pitching matchup for opening night. Given the Sox history against Sabathia I give a slight edge to Cleveland.

**bigboydan** · 04-01-06, 09:59 PM

i'm going with C.C. myself in this game ILL.

**Illusion** · 04-01-06, 10:21 PM

The under might be a safe play as well.

**bigboydan** · 04-01-06, 10:25 PM

i'm just going to stick to the tribe side in this game ILL.

**onlooker** · 04-01-06, 11:31 PM

Thanks for the break down Dan.

Im leaning toward the tribe myself. Lets start the season off right and cash the Indians fellas.

I don't know the stats, but it seems the defending WS champion rarely wins on Opening Day (I know I faded the Red Sox last year successfully). Sabbathia is solid away from home, so I think it's Cleveland or pass here. GL guys.

I doubt this game is played tommorow night as there are supposed to be major t-storms coming into Chicago later tommorow evening. ..but it's also supposed to be around 50 degrees and winds of up to/around 20 mph (hopefully blowing *in* for the some of us who choose the under)

I just seen the weather and it is supposed to rain. Hopefully they can get this bad boy in.

**bigboydan** · 04-02-06, 03:32 PM

if this was not the first game of the season, it would be worth alot more than just a 2 unit play for me.

**Illusion** · 04-02-06, 05:23 PM

I agree dan, that's why I'm only playing one unit each on the side and total.

**bigboydan** · 04-02-06, 08:02 PM

throw these stats out the window tonight. CC just left with an injury

**onlooker** · 04-02-06, 08:03 PM

So much for that. Time to move on to tomorrow.

yeah..screwed me on my over 5.5 strikeouts. especially since he had already had 3 for the game..

**bigboydan** · 04-02-06, 08:15 PM

graves is burrying us tribe backers tonight. i still think burehle will give it up in the 4th or 6th though IMO

**onlooker** · 04-02-06, 08:15 PM

I think most of this forum is screwed because of CC leaving the game.

Graves is digging our grave. That worthless.....

oh dear, did i say that on the forum. opps, i guess i did

**imgv94** · 04-02-06, 08:24 PM

Hey you guys gave up way too soon. How did Cleveland score 3 runs so quick?
I change the channel and the game is tied all of a sudden?

Hafner scored on a double, that he should of been thrown out at the plate. Dude looked to be going in slow motion. That made it 3-1.

Then a two run shot tied it up at 3. So it was a fast ralley, but effective.

**bigboydan** · 04-02-06, 08:28 PM

heres how they scored IMG:

Top 4th: Cleveland
- V. Martinez doubled to deep right, T. Hafner scored
- E. Perez homered to deep left, V. Martinez scored

i didn't give up on them. when i seen graves come in to the game, i didn't think burhle could compete at his level

**presley177** · 04-02-06, 08:28 PM

rainout is inevitable

I would take it , with the main reason most bet the Indians went out with injury.

So a rain out will probably save our asses tonight. If it happens.

buddy in Chicago just said the water on the street of the stadium is going up to the curbs of the road....looks like we'll have to play this one another day.

i just talked to another friend who lives in chicago and she said car alarms were going off and garbage cans were blowing down the street.

sounds like a real nasty storm.

**imgv94** · 04-02-06, 08:50 PM

Anyone who had the Under in this game will be very happy that this game is over.
Under backers= Lucky!!!

**bigboydan** · 04-02-06, 08:51 PM

it's really a bad storm bud. tornado watches were all over the place around here, and ILL told me they were warning up there too.

**imgv94** · 04-02-06, 08:58 PM

I hope everyone will be o.k!! Stay safe guys!!

**bigboydan** · 04-02-06, 09:03 PM

the worst is come and gone here, so i survived this nasty storm.

**Illusion** · 04-03-06, 12:21 AM

It rained pretty hard here but we didn't really have any high winds or dangerous lightning.
