  6. its buehrle's 1st playoff start theres no telling how he'll react and if I remember correctly we've whipped him around this season every time we've played him
  7. Trammell should be interviewed right away for the job in LA, IMO he did a great job with what he had in Detroit. The team tanked due to injuries, nothing he did. Fact is if Leyland didnt want to manage again, Trammell would still be getting his final year in Detroit. Heres the manager openings that are available or IMO will be at the end of the playoff season Tampa Detroit LA Oakland Colorado Florida Pittsburgh Baltimore 8 openings is about average, the biggest question is obviously, where does Lou Pinella go. Obviously not Tampa, Detroit, Colorado, or Pittsburgh. The man also wants to go to a team that can make the playoffs next year. I think he goes to LA, despite the fact that he doesnt want to go to the west coast. I think while the Marlins are a strong possibility, he wouldn't be able to handle another team with payroll restrictions. Macha will become the next Pirates manager as he has expressed interest in the job. I believe that this year will also mark the return of Grady Little to the coaching ranks. I wouldnt be suprised to see Grady in Florida. Colorado is a little less clear, if Hurdle gets canned I could see someone like Tony Pena get an interview, Pena is a good manager in a horrible situation. Not that Colorado is alot better but Todd Helton and Jeff Francis gives hope to their fans at least. I for one do not think that Bobby Valentine will be back this season. From what ive heard he is really happy in Japan. Plus the players are also happy with him in Japan, like they are with Bowa at ESPN
  8. The southsiders have had their fun, f***ing destroy them tonight! http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2005/players/08/02/website0808/t1_wells.jpg
  9. http://alds1.mlblogs.com/alds-bos-cws.jpg White Sox Lead Series 1-0 Game Info. Date: October 5th, 2005 Time: 7:05 PM ET TV: ESPN http://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/4057.jpghttp://bellsouthpwp.net/c/h/chinigor/TALKSOX/VS.GIFhttp://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/6525.jpg http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/mlb/images/team_logos/50x50/bos.gif#16 David Wells (0-0, 0.00) http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/mlb/images/team_logos/50x50/cws.gif#56 Mare Buehrle (0-0, 0.00) Can Wells, Boston slow Chicago? White Sox counter with ex-prot?g? Buehrle CHICAGO -- It is now up to David Wells to restore order. Well, to restore order on the mound. The Boomer is a big game pitcher? Here's a game, Game 2 of this AL Division Series, that just became a lot bigger for Wells and the Boston Red Sox by virtue of what occurred in the opener. The Boston Red Sox were on the short end of a 14-2 score, placed there by the Chicago White Sox in direct defiance of the conventional storyline for this Series. The Red Sox were the guys with the bats. The White Sox were the guys with the arms. What if it turns out that the White Sox have both arms and bats? This is where Wells comes in, and, the Red Sox hope, comes in at the very top of his game. His big-game, postseason credentials need no introductions. He is 10-3 lifetime in the postseason. The Red Sox need him to be 11-3 by late Wednesday night. Why is the Boomer so good in the postseason? "I think to be a big-game pitcher you have to, first of all, be a good pitcher," manager Terry Francona said. "It's sort of the same thing as [David] Ortiz in the club situation. David is a good pitcher and the stage doesn't affect him at all. He's done it enough that I think he really enjoys it and he's really good. "There's always going to be some health issues. He's got some creaky joints. If we had to ask him to run a marathon tomorrow, I wouldn't feel too good. But we're asking him to pitch, and because of that, I really feel good." Wells, asked about the White Sox on Tuesday, said a number of laudatory things about the team, but ended by suggesting: "They might be a little tense. I might not be." That's the Boomer. He's been down this road before, and he's never been quiet while traveling. "You know, I'm fortunate to have been able to play in a lot of postseason games," Wells said. "I think the more you play, I wouldn't say it's easier, but it's more relaxing, because you have faced situations that, you know, are pretty intense and you can get very intimidated. There's a whole lot of things that can really come into this. I feel pretty much even-keel. I got out there, you know, I stay the same person and joke around and have fun." Interestingly, Wells will be opposed by a pitching prot?g? of his, Mark Buehrle. The two pitched together for the White Sox in 2001, Buehrle's first full year in the Majors. Buehrle says he learned a lot from Wells -- about pitching, not about lifestyles. You can see the similarities; left-handed, control pitchers, they work quickly and efficiently, you have to hit your way on against them. "I'll just go out there and try to throw zeros," Buehrle said. "I know he's going to go out there and do what Boomer does. Especially in postseason, he's a big game pitcher." It is fascinating. Buehrle will be making his first postseason start. And yet, the circumstances of this Series put more of the pressure squarely on the 42-year-old Wells. It is one thing to lose the opener and it is another to lose the opener, 14-2. The Red Sox require a major regrouping and the place that has to start is on the mound. Fortunately for Boston, the Boomer has no record of shying away from glare of the postseason spotlight.
