Yanks @ White Sox: Welcome to the Ozzie Show!
Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 10:31 am
Despite going 3-7 in their last 10 games, the Chicago White Sox have stayed within striking distance of first place Detroit (3 games). It bears noting during that 10 game stretch the lethal combination of Dye, Konerko, and Thome have been in a bit of a drought. The return of Carlos Quentin should help with that.
Outside of the Obama momma denim, Ozzie Guillen is the straw that stirs the drink in the Windy City. Say what you will about Ozzie, he has made the White Sox relevant. He'll be sure to throw some silly comments the Yankees way. Be sure of it. Diarrhea at the mouth is Ozzie's game. It'll be entertaining if nothing else.
Game 1 Andy Pettitte vs. Gavin Floyd: Both pitchers are similar in gross stats but Pettitte has been 1-3 in his last 4. Can Andy break out of that slump? He'll have a murderous line up to go through in order to do it.
Game 2 Sergio Mitre vs. Clayton Richard: Or I like to call, the Washburn watch. The Yanks don't know what they are going to get out of Mitre but if they can get 5 innings out of the guy before throwing Melancon, Robertson, etc in the wood chipper they'll be content.
Game 3 AJ "Enter the Dragon" Burnett vs. John Danks: This is going to be a great game. Both pitchers are having tremendous seasons. Burnett hasn't gotten his chane up going but he is pitching with absolute authority. Danks record does not do him justice.
Game 4 CC Sabbathia vs. Mark Buehrle: The coupe de grace of this 4 game set. CC knows the white sox. I think he'll rebound. There's no indication that Mark is going to slow down.
What's your prediction for the series?
