Quin Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 So much more than last year. This team is just fun to watch, it's corny, but they "appreciate the game." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Maybe it's the idea of team/teammates, not throwing people under the bus, no drama...without all the outside distractions, there's more of an ability to focus on the game and less time for theatrics and off-field drama. We're only making headlines this year for baseball-related reasons, and that's nice to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI1020 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I agree with all of the above. I'm going to stick with this team no matter what happens. I think that whatever they have, Robin and his staff will get the most out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 So much more enjoyable when they are playing good and even when they lose they seem to be fighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Kind of like my I like this team thread near the end of spring training. Might surprise a few people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 It's easy for me to enjoy because I really wanted Dunn and Peavy to contribute to the Sox- not be their downfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 De Aza is fun to watch at the top of the order. And more young players are playing instead of vets helps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty34 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I was the first one to here to say they would contend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're only making headlines this year for baseball-related reasons, and that's nice to see. Cmon, when we were winning none of that mattered. When the Sox hit the ball and its starters can go 7 innings I like the team's chances against any team in the Central. GO SOX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguy79 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 The team got better when the circus left town...shocking. If we can get some consistent offense we should be pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 04:33 PM) I enjoy watching this team as well, but contention is a long shot. I disagree, I think our pitching staff will keep us in the hunt most of the season. It's the offense that will ultimately make or break us.

I root for the guy because he's a White Sox though. he single-handedly WON you an ALCS, he stomped aaron boone, he gave joe borchard $100 for homering off Brett Tomko, I could go on and on and on he's one of the biggest leaders on this club.

Steve9347 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The 2011 team should have had the motto "trying to lose". This team actually seems decent enough to contend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
