Chicago White Sox vs Cleveland Indians series thread

• Crimson streak

  

  The tribe take the road to Chicago. Now 2.5 games back of the tigers. The tribe need to take 2 of 3 with masterson and jimenez pitching this series.
  
  Game 1- Jimenez vs Floyd
  Game 2- Carmona vs Buehrle
  Game 3- Masterson vs Humber
  
  Let's go tribe!

  Yeah, need to keep winning series and we will be fine.
• HitsRus

  

  Hugely important to keep ahead of Chicago.
• OQB

  

  I see 2 possibly 3 wins in this series....carmona needs another solid outing. We can't lose a series to a divisional team the rest of the way! If we want to win the Central and make a run in the playoffs we need to win every central division series.
  
  Let's Go Tribe!

  White Sox have been planning really well lately, albeit against the royals, orioles and twins. Hopefully the White Sox can keep it up and take this weak division.

  ugh, the sox? guaranteed to lose at least two out of three. just have had no luck against those guys this year
• hoops23

  

  We haven't had any luck against the Twins either, but just beat them twice.
  
  Two out of three is possible and with the way Fausto has been pitching, a sweep isn't impossible... Just hopefully Fausto doesn't get "Deer in headlights" syndrome when he sees the Sox jerseys lmao
• Crimson streak

  

  I think this is how we know if fausto is really back. He has been horrible against the sox this year

  I will be at the game tuesday!

  Big series for the Tribe. They can make a statement if they can win at least 2 of 3. They have the pitching match ups to do it. Game 1 is very important to get, because Buehrle pitches game 2. He's been very good lately and will be hard to beat.
• vball10set

  we're 1-6 against the ChiSox this season, so it's going to be tough, especially at Comiskey...but, I think we can take 2 out of 3--GO TRIBE!!!

  Buerhle owns us. That will be a tough one to win.
• grodt

  

  It sure seems that way but his stats (14-15, 4.67 ERA) against the Indians are some of his worst versus AL teams. On the downside, the White Sox have won 5 straight against us when he starts.

  Wow. Doesn't feel that way. Seems like he threw a shutout against us on opening day every year for about 5 years.

  Tigers picked up Delmon Young from the Twins today.
• Laley23

  

  I'm gonna be a little upset if we don't see David Huff versus Buehrle or Humber pushing Masterson back to the Tigers series.
• Crimson streak

  

  And delmon young hits a hr his first Ab way to go twins
• TBone14

  

  Twins up 3 in the 9th. Hoping they can finish this one for us.
• TBone14

  

  2 out. They are all big at this point..but 2 huge series coming up.
• Laley23

  

  Thank God the Twins didnt go all Baltimore on us. Pick up a game without playing a game the last 2 days. Gotta love that!
• wes_mantooth

  

  Pitching matchups favor us, but we have played like shit against them...so who knows

  @SI_JonHeyman: RT @jimcallisBA: #Indians signed 1st-rder Francisco Lindor for $2.9 million. #mlbdraft*

  Can't stand Judas Thome but if he's gonna hit 599 & 600, might as well be against the Kitties. Hit a few more in this series, Jimmy Boy.
• BR1986FB

  Cleared waivers....anyone on this list you want?
