So after the 2 4-gamers and one three gamer for each team, we're now 8 up. We went into that stretch 5 up, and I said at the time here that the average for each team would be two splits and a 2 out of 3. We ended up playing three games better than them, with a split, a 2 of 3, and a sweep. Them: 3 of 4, 1 of 3 (at that point they'd stayed even with us), and a key 1 of 4 (during our 4 of 4). There are your 3 games right there.
Now they have to sweep US just to get back to 5. Gold, me, gold!
I love the fact that Detroit gives us the 8 game lead. Not so sure if we needed it to be such an ass-whuppin' That can go either way - Demoralize them right into our waiting jaws, or piss them off enough to give them an edge. I think we take 2 of 3. And can Dice PLEASE get some run support for once
The Sox hitters should look at the Yankee pitching with cold, clear eyes and realize it looks a lot like the White Sox. Start by getting Dice-K some runs and keep pounding. The Yanks really need some October vacation time.
And one key for Dice-K... establish that fastball, and use it often. Keep the hitters off-balance. They're going to be patient, so it's important to pound the strike zone and throw more fastballs so the off-speed pitches can be more effective.
