Breathing Room

by @ 9:16 pm. Filed under 2005 Season

This would qualify as a good weekend. Three straight wins and all with the pitching staff giving up a single run. This is what got us off to the great start that we’ve been riding the last couple of months, so I’m all for going back to it.

The Indians, on the other hand, finally lost a game as the Royals came back to beat them this afternoon. Our magic number is now five. If things work out right, we sweep the Tigers, the Indians drop one game in their series against the Devil Rays, and there’s no drama this weekend when the Sox square off against the Tribe. We’ve owned Detroit this season, so hopefully that dominance will continue.

Jose Contrares really came through with a nice performance on Friday. It was his first career (at least MLB) complete game and he struck out nine while earning his 14th win. Yesterday, Freddy Garcia was equally effective, and this afternoon, it was Mark Buehrle winning his 16th game of the season in the final regular season game at U.S. Cellular Field.

I’m feeling pretty good. Like the playoffs are a foregone conclusion, not just a possibility. Time to take down those Tigers.

    Interesting Blog.

    I have a Site / Blog all about how to start file sharing with your PC.

    It has all you could ever need to know about file sharing.

    Only 5 more, we can do this. I just wish Contrares could pitch every game. I was so happy to see the tribe finally lost a game. We may only by up 2 1/2, but at least its something. I’m thinking about making up a lie so I can leave my night class early to catch the game. Go Sox.

    Would it be such a bad thing for the Sox to grab the wild card instead of winning their division out right. remember the Sox have a losing record against the West coast and the last time the Angels came to Chicago they swept the Sox.

    Now I would never suggest that the sox should throw games or intentially try and get the wild card, but losing the division lead isn’t a bad thing, specially when they have the wild card sewn up already.

    Just something to think about when everyone has been freaking out over Cleveland making their own run recently.
