sorry for starting this early, but this thread could heat up a lot of talk, as the other threads fire has almost been pretty much doused.
this series is a possible playoff preview with us going into oakland for the series. we face zito, who has spectacularly turned his season around. now with a +500 record, standing at 10-9, his curveball has more respect as it is still one of the most terrifying 12-6 curveballs in the majors. arroyo, too, has been hot recently with exception to his last start, which was at home, and which he does not do as well as he does on the road.
my prediction: a sox victory. this team is simply unbeatable, and is on a roll. with arroyos numbers without respect, he could easily be overlooked as not a challenge. our team beats theirs in almost every position on the field, and zito, even though he has turned it around, is not the same pitcher he used to be. remember, he is the pitcher we beat in game 5 of the ALDS, and there should be some emotions flowing on that field tonight. as we now have their former ace-closer keith foulke. this will be an interesting game.
GO SOX!!! :clap:
and caveman, should he start, will be interesting too. :damon:
