The fight for .500

This is like the third moronic thread this year started after the team played well for a stretch and the Sox almost immediately went into a tailspin after each one. 

YUP and I am convinced the threads cursed the team.

Ryan Noda quotes...about time with A's, Sox mentioned as well

Too many bad owners in MLB.  If we Sox fans think we have it bad with Jerry, I can't imagine being a Pirates fan since their terrible team owner is only in his early 60s and could be around for another quarter century or more.  

And it's hard for me to feel sorry for Manfred crying about how bad it is for the owners when I read this:

During one of the Pirates’ “sell” chants this season, the team broadcast cut the crowd noise until the chanting ceased. And the A’s “reverse boycott” game has been scrubbed from MLB.TV’s June 2023 archives.

Could they have another double-digit losing streak in them?

Quero 3 for last 21

Montgomery 2 for last 16

Teel 2 for last 19

^If this keeps up combined with the starting rotation falling apart, it’s certainly possible

Just before the last 10 games I was told Sox have a good shot of finishing their remaining games .500 because this was a new team. Uh huh

Look, things got out of hand.  People get a whiff of competence and LOSE THEIR MINDS

Now, I am Mr. Over-Optimistic on this board, and get grief for it now and then, but even I have to say that the idea Sox can win 81 games this year is rather silly. I think winning 70 games is realistically out of reach. 

I would say that making 63, my preseason prediction and goal, is slightly, slightly less likely than 50/ 50. If they can stay hot for a couple more weeks, than winning 63 becomes probable and maybe they can even reach 65 or so wins. 

Would winning 24 or more games over last year, an over 50% increase in wins, would that be enough for Lipman to consider that the White Sox have moved things forward "quite a bit"?   

Probably not. 

19 games would be a huge improvement. I had 35 predicted. Loss of confidence.
