SouthSide2004 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I understand that most of us our bummed by the way this team has been playing lately, but let's look at this thing realistically. We got 20 games left (all against the AL central who have our best record against), the Indians have 19. We have a 5 and 1/2 game lead in our division and a seven game lead in the wild card. We play the Indians 6 times, the Royals 3 times, the Twins 7 times and the Tigers 4 times. The Indians play the Royals and Devil Rays a combined 10 times, and also play the A's 3 times. No doubt they have the better schedule, but c'mon now, whose position would you rather be in? The most important aspect of this year versus previous years is that we control our own destiny (by playing our challenger) with a lead. If we go 3-3 against the Indians and let's say 4-10 in our other games, the Indians would have to go 10-3 in their remaining games to beat us for the division. And do you really think we are going to go 4-10 against the Royals, Twins and Tigers? Now, I'm not saying we are definately going to make the playoffs, but there is no need to start "The season is over" threads after every lost.

We've been saying this for a while now, we can go .500 the rest of the way and Cleveland would have to win a a .750 clip to pass us and everybody is happy but when it comes down to it, the Indians are currently the hottest team in baseball. They're not losing at all and yes I could see us going 4-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Please. With the threads. Please. Maybe--just a thought, here--we can make two, HUGE, ENORMOUS, ALL-ENCOMPASSING Soxtalk Optimism/Soxtalk Pessimism threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyho7476 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Let me start by saying that I can understand all the 'gangter-ization' in your avatar and sig, since you are from the mean streets of Northbrook. Also, I don't think the sense of glood and doom comes from what is left on the schedule. Its seeing us completely whipped by a team we could play in the playoffs. Plus, knowing how well we have faired against other 'playoff' teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids from priveleged areas all over emulate the gangsta culture. It's so sad, weak and pathetic. Let me drop him off on the West Side in some of the areas I worked alone and unarmed and see how long it will take for him to call for Mommy. Regarding the White Sox, they are 35-34 since July 1, 25-26 since July 19, and 13-16 since August 11. They don't look like they can beat much of anybody at this point, and if stories I'm hearing are true all that vaunted chemistry is no longer there either. If they can somehow remember what they did in April, May and June, and go out and do it again that would be great. It's time for the White Sox roller coaster to climb to the top once again.
