This is the reason why right here:
Sox are 7-4 vs. DET, but Cabrera, Damon & Coke have all won World Series, so they don't want it as much any more
Sox are 8-7 vs. KC, but they had Podsednik for a while and his WS ring makes them care a little less
Sox are 4-8 vs. CLE, and no one their roster has ever won a WS so they obviously just try harder than the Sox do
Sox are 5-10 vs. MIN, Carl Pavano has won a ring, but he's only one starting pitcher, so the other players still want it more than the Sox
Lets also disregard these facts:
- Only 6 players on the Sox 25-man roster (24%) have even won a World Series
- The Sox had a winning record vs. the Central every season from 2002-2008 (best division record in 2008)
- They played their 12 games vs. CLE all before they started their winning streak, back when they were losing to everyone
Hahaha good post! I loled..
