Lester will be tough but...

[Torridd]

...I doubt he'll be tougher than Gray was. The key is if Santiago can keep us in the game. I expect 3 or 4 runs at least from us today.

Yeah and Grizzly Adams had a beard.

some of you are far too focused on who we face, we beat him before, we can again
if the SP keeps the game close the offense gives us a chance... thats the bottom line.  
whose pitching for the other team really isnt the issue.  we beat gray on a night he fanned 12, nuff said

I disagree flop. The opposing pitcher makes a great deal of difference.

 

I do think our offense is due to give Lester some trouble.

Bud "Cy" Norris will also be tough against the Yankees in this morning's game. He hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 12 innings and is 3-0 career vs NY.

Main thing going for us right now is we're playing the A's. After winning those 10 straight, it seems we are back in a funk offensively. I'm hoping its fatigue from playing so much and that the days off coming up help.

I really don't care what we do against Lester today. The only important aspect of today's game is Santiago not shitting the bed. That's it.

[Angel Oracle]

We desperately need tomorrow's off day.

Hopefully the 3 off days before the ALDS doesn't affect them negatively.

why?  weve beaten him before, we know we can beat him.  If we are on we can and will beat almost any pitcher short of him having a historic night. 

We won last night against a guy that had 12 Ks with a SP on our side thats been released 3 times this freaking season... some of you need to get out of the stats and remember the game is played on the field.

im not saying they shouldn't have the edge, of course they should its their #1 versus our what, #3-4 at this point?

but again, so what, LeBlanc beat Gray last night.. would any of you have bet on that?  You cant base everything on the SP when you have an offense and bullpen like ours... they need aces to win, we dont.

all i care about is keeping pace ahead of Bal and getting to the post.

let Lester and Shields fight it out in a one game playoffs and then the party starts
