White Sox quandry...

[smitch124]

So, when Javier Vazquez is set to start a key AL Central game late in the season, Ozzie Guillen says he is not a big game pitcher. He proceeds to get knocked out in that game and again against Cleveland.

Now Ozzie, with no other choice really, starts Javier in the 1st game of the ALDS series...

What can one really expect from this guy? The earlier bad mouthing sure didn't raise his game.

[Dbldown11]

First of all the Sox did have another choice. People dont like to believe it but Ozzie knows how to manage. Javier got beat up last game in a big game after Ozzies speech. Then Ozzie puts him out here today instead of his other option (Clayton Richard who dominated in NY two weeks ago), why would he do that? I think that Javier comes out today and dominates. Ozzie knows what he's doing.

Starting a stone cold rookie on the road in Game 1 of a playoff series is another choice??

Not in my book.

[Dbldown11]

Well your book is different than mine. He went on the road in New York when Yankee Stadium was getting ready to close and he dominated.

white sox dont win road games
this is not a good team

thank you for posting that ryan. Now I might double down on this play haha just kidding. But arent you the one that said the sox were a bad team and that the twins were the play on tuesday???

[smitch124]

Ill take your word for dominate because I didn't see the game, but 2 runs and 5 hits in 6.2 doesn't scream out dominate to me.

I believe if Ozzie felt he had another viable option he'd be using it right about now.

[ryanXL977]

yep, they lost 1-0 on the road



chisox aint good
they will lose in 3 or 4

It doesnt matter how much or how little a baseball team loses by in terms of better. All that matters is who won.

Also you bet the twins tuesday because they were a value play getting the odds they were getting right???? Now if you CLAIM that is your logic for betting baseball how can you not say that the value play for this game is the Sox +160?

[smitch124]

+170 now

[ryanXL977]

sox have no value today bc

a: they arent good
B: vaz is awful
c: the sox play no d
d: they have no team speed
e: sox will lose, so there is no value (your words on monday vs minne!!)

ok, they beat minne 9 of 19 times this yr

this game isnt vs minny, and it isnt in chitown

1 run off blackburn! jesus

[smitch124]

My problem with taking the Rays with this chalk is lack of playoff experience, you never know if a team can raise its level of play.

At least the Sox have been there before...

[ryanXL977]

no pressure on rays, a game is a game.
hamels was bad last year and look at him yesterday

take the rays, they win this game. no value at all, but they win this ****ng game

chisox AINT GOOD

[bradleysnyder]

no way in helllllllllllll the whitesox win this game 1...............no wayyyyyyyyyyyy

[ryanXL977]

bradley, dont do this to us!

[smitch124]

Yes he had a playoff start under his belt, makes a world of difference.

When the Sox win they usually rake, tiny bet Alt R/l @ +240

Much bigger on Phil and Dodgers later in the day...

[smitch124]

no way in helllllllllllll the whitesox win this game 1...............no wayyyyyyyyyyyy

[Dbldown11]

ryan i think it apparant that you have no idea what you're talking about and you just fade the white sox because you dont like them...

a)They are good, they are in the playoffs
b)Vazquez isnt awful he has just played bad lately and is due for a good gae
c)The Sox play no D? you said the same on tuesday and they shut out the twins
d)They dont need team speed when they crush the baseball
e)Sox will not lose so that's why im playing them. I dont bet based on value I bet based on who i think is going to bet a particular game....You are the one that claimed to place bets based on value, and now you are the one making a play on a team that you just said has no value at all.

Lesson learned??? you are hypocritical and tell yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to justify a play against the white sox

[ryanXL977]

a: they wona one game playoff, at home, 10-, lost the season series and are in the playoffs bc of a coin flip. so i got one game wrong, big deal. i nailed 2 of 3 yesterday
b: no such thing as d
c: that was one game. griff threw out a guy from 150 feet, big deal. they have a bottom 5 d in the al
d: they dont crush on the road
E: sox will lose this series very quickly. they are not a good team

konerko is done, griff is done, urbine and cabrera and wise are worthless

thomer cant hit heaters anymore. only guy thats decent is dye and alexi

they arent good

[Dbldown11]

you are too funny....after todays game i will come back once again to say I told you so. And after today you should just stay away from betting sox games because it's obvious that whatever you have against this team hinders your ability to cap it correctly

[ryanXL977]

we will see, if they win this series i will say you are right and stay away from chisox games. ive bet them many times this year, generally at home

awful road team

we will see. they wont win today

gl on the later games amigo!!!

[Dbldown11]

same to you....i know we have very different opinions about this game but what are your thoughts on the other games? I'm on Phillies ML and the Cubls RL

[ryanXL977]

i love phils ml and i love love love love dodgers ml
