You ass...I just posted the same thing in the Javy thread. BTW, remember how we felt the team would loosen up and roll in the playoffs in 2005? If this team makes the playoffs this year, I don't get that same feeling at all.
I have two opinions on this team if they make the playoffs and it depends on how they get in. If they got in because of strong play in Minneosta I think they could just gel. In fact, I think a 100% White Sox team is the best team in the AL. I say that based upon the way the other teams are playing. Rays have a horrendous pen, Angels pitching is falling apart, BoSox don't have the starting (imo).
The problem is I just can't see the Sox getting back to 100% and the only way they could get even close to that is to win the next two in Minny and than the first game in Cleveland and than get 2 days off which will enable them to get all the starters/relievers fully rested and the rotation lined up for the post-season.
I just don't see the Sox getting in that easily, but hopefully Mark and Gavin man up and kick ass. More importantly I hope the offense can come out blazing and give the team big leads in both games.
