June 14, 200422 yr Hey Marlins fans... Well, it was bound to happen...the Sox go to Miami to take on the World Champs. This is going to be a tough series for both teams...they're both in 1st place, and they're both pretty good squads. I think this is going to be a great series. I also know Sox fans will go down to Miami to see the games. You don't have to worry, though...we're not like the idiotic Cubs fans who went to Miami last fall. You stood up to them, and we Sox fans appreciate that. Ozzie is doing an awesome job as Sox manager. Not too many people gave him credit when he first came up here citing his inexperience. Well as of now, his team is 100% better than last year's squad. The players are very much the same as last year's Sox sans Bartolo Colon, Scott Sullivan, Tony Graffanino, Tom "Flash" Gordon, Roberto Alomar, and Carl Everett. I know that's a lot of names, and add on top of that all the names the Cubs picked up to supposedly "put them over the top." Well, after months of hype, the Sox are now in FIRST place in their division, and the "soon-to-be-World Champs" Cubbies are in FOURTH place in their division. By the end of the week, I'm hoping the Cubs will fall further into the abyss as they'll face Houston for 4 games at Minute Maid Park. We haven't forgotten about you down in Miami. Your team is looking pretty good. Continued success, and you'll understand why I'm wanting a Sox 4-game sweep in the Pro. Nothing personal, but even though I've gained a huge amount of respect for the Marlins as of late, in my heart...I'm a White Sox fan. Take care, Marlins fans. Let's have a great series.
June 14, 200422 yr I've been rooting for the White Sox in the AL Central. Highest runs scored in the major leagues this year. Odd that both teams have about the same winning %, same # of runs against, but Chicago has scored about 55 more runs this season. Should be a fun series. Tues: Burnett (0-2) vs Garland (5-3) Wed: Pavano (6-2) vs Schoeneweis (5-4) Thurs: Beckett (4-4) Loaiza (7-3) (I think that's right... isn't Beckett scheduled to return on Thursday or is it Phelps again?)
June 14, 200422 yr This is going to be a though series. Any team can take 2 (toss up), and a sweep would be very unlikely. I'll be there for one or two games. Go Fish
June 14, 200422 yr Author :thumbup Betcha the finest dinner in town that you do not get a 4 game sweep. YOU'RE ON...LOL Oops...my bad. So much for what I know. On a serious note, when did the Marlins announce Beckett for the 3rd game of this series? When I last heard about this series, the Marlins' starter for the 3rd game was "undecided".

Beckett is on the DL, but is ready to start this week
June 14, 200422 yr Good luck in this series.... you might need it. I am a big White Sox supporter, esp. since my nephew is a W Sox in his tee-ball team. I'll be at the game tomorrow. I can't wait to face the Sox.
June 14, 200422 yr On a serious note, when did the Marlins announce Beckett for the 3rd game of this series? When I last heard about this series, the Marlins' starter for the 3rd game was "undecided". I'm not 100% sure on that... Phelps is listed in some of the upcoming schedule lists, but I think I heard on the radio that Beckett is tenatively scheduled to return on Thursday if everything goes well. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
June 14, 200422 yr Jack was talking about Beckett in the pre-game show yesterday and said he should be ready to go on Thursday. Beckett has one more bullpen session, and if all goes well, he'll get the start.
June 14, 200422 yr I haven't been on this site since the NLCS. Just wanted to wish you guys good luck AFTER the Sox leave town. Should be a good series. Beat up on those Cubbies if you see them again.
June 15, 200422 yr Id just like to say good luck to you guys this week. I havent been to this site since last october but i just want to thank you fish for beating our "loveable losers" up north. Im a one team fan but if there is any team id like to see win other than the white sox, its defanately the marlins! Hopefully this meeting is not our only one of the year!!!
June 15, 200422 yr Daly is being rumored to be considering a move to a penthouse/loft on the northside. What a fickle man, and then the Cubbune and WGN have a Cubasm over it. It is so petty.
