And we've been 500 for almost three months now. That two seed is critical for us in the worst way. This team had the potential to win a series or two in the playoffs, but they need to find some continuity and sparks soon.

The Rays have the best record, but they have 18-1 margin against the Orioles. Not knocking that, but the Sox and the West teams didn't have the advantage of playing against Baltimore 19 times. DannyWright is entitled to his opinion. The White Sox have some question marks heading into the post season. But I think they have the same chance as any other contender. Let's be real. The Orioles suck but the Rays play against the Red Sox, Yankees, and Jays. You could make a good argument that all of these teams are better than us, and they certainly are better than every other team in our division.

Sox haven't had a chance to get hot. The top 6 guys in the lineup, TA/Yoan/Jose/Eloy/Yaz/Robert have played what, 5 games together? Want to see how that lineup does over a two week span before I judge how hot they are or aren't.

And with the rest schedule we are kind of playing with fire.

Hottest team…at playoff time. Not in late August/early September.

Most of them were clearly a top 2 team in the league. And even the questionable teams played in two recent WS' (Royals, Rangers, Tigers). I agree that getting hot and rolling helps a lot, but with our resting schedules it will be hard to get there. And if we do, we still probably want that HFA over Houston.
