fathom Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) 5-5 probably.. but I'm leaning towards 6-4. We usually play well versus the good teams so I'm optimistic on that but I can't see us beating the Twins in the series though I think we can take 1 game. You absolutely shut down Peavy if we're more than 6 or 7 games out after the road trip. All reports indicate he's very uncomfortable on the mound, so why even risk him overcompensating for any soreness and messing up his mechanics? Same goes for Danks, as you can put some unusual torque on your shoulder when you can't guide the ball with your finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) I've already predicted but as an addendum ... if we go 3-3 at home versus the Royals and O's with a lot at stake, how in the heck can anybody predict better than .500 on this trip? That stuff about playing to our competition doesn't cut it on the road. 5-5 would be a monumental miracle. 2-8 is rearing its ugly head at us.

whitesoxgt Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 i know sox play better against better opponents but i really cant see this sox team playing good right now. floyd n danks r the only startin pitchers i really trust right now n these guys sayin they gonna go 9-1 or 10-0 ...i really hope you guys r just messin around cuz no offense but its kind of a dumb thing to say right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I said 5-5 because I can't be pessimistic and always hope for the best. I think this team will tease us till the very end. Even if the Sox do poorly so will Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Can you imagine if we'd have gone 6-0 versus KC and the Os? We'd be so pumped. But our passionless team didn't come close to that. Those of you who say sweeps are not reasonable ... look at what the Twinks did to the pissant Royals over the weekend: Swept em in KC. We should have at least won five of the six games. And we'd be so psyched. I agree on the shutting down of Peavy at least if we go 2-8 and the Tigers go 7-3 or 8-2. s*** if the Twins sweep us, they'll be barreling past us as well. Shut him down if we don't excel on this trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I am guessing 4-7, 1 win at each site. .500 teams don't do any better than that on big boy road trips like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The Sox have played tough teams fairly well...in spurts. This road trip will probably be no exception. I would like to think they could go 7-3 or better, but I chose 6-4. If the road trip ends with the Sox 2 games or less out of first, it'll be good.

southsidepride15 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 7-3. I was the 15th vote in that category...which made it 15.15%....me thinks that Becks has a HUGE road-trip and we come out smelling like a rose!! SADDLE UP SOX FANS!

WilliamTell Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 well 12 people outta 106 are eliminated. this is getting extremely frustrating. a game under .500 so now we gotta turn it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Can I revise my prediction to 3-7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I stand by my 2-8 which looks about right, but I truly wouldn't be shocked at 0-10. Would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 So, only a few of us were right.. I was one of them.. sadly. But oh well, at least we NEVER have to go to the Metrodump again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I got it all right too. One win in Boston, said Yankees would sweep us and one win in Minnie. Know your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
