May 18May 18 When they signed Mune I thought they’d be a 500 team or better and would be in the wild card hunt. Not enough games played yet to know if I was right but boy is this team fun!

(Except in the case of like a hated rival or something.) Did he correctly predict that we'd "give110%" and "play the right way" too? 😄 That just standard sports platitudes. (And any snide skepticism is directed at Garfien, btw, not the Soxtalk poster.)
May 18May 18 South Side SoxThe absolute, accurate prediction of the 2026 White Sox r...As proven by real math!63-99...
May 20May 20 Dropped $100 on them to win the division a few weeks ago when it was +2000. Think I mostly did it because I was offended that they had Minnesota +900 but I'm starting to believe it's possible
May 20May 20 Author I think the mariners series has convinced me. These are the kind of games that playoff teams win. These are the other 42 games that are turgid slogs that division winners find a way to win.

May 21May 21 I think it's a critical series this weekend. Giants are a team we are clearly better than, we'll have both Davis and Noah going and the pen should be rested -- we gotta take 2/3 if we want to keep above .500 as the schedule toughens in June.

Meanwhile a big part of why a team like the cubs will lose the division again to the brewers is the lack of mentality. They are about to be swept and they were completely outclassed. They just laid down. We didn't lay down, even when we were down 5-2 today.

I thought I missed something and the Sox won the series... but triple checked and I'm not crazy.

Arsenal just won a premier league grinding out wins. Yesterday's win does more to convince me than the cubs series. Good teams find ways to win games they shouldn't when they aren't playing especially well.

In a few weeks the White Sox play 9 games in a row against the Braves, Dodgers and Yankees. It should be an interesting 9 games.One way or another - all doubt will be relieved then.
May 21May 21 Panicans would rather their preseason predictions be correct than the White Sox winning their division!

But it's an important building year where the team is learning that they can compete, and how to win. I don't get the guys who think you can't talk positive about a team unless they put up a W today.

May 21May 21 I'm looking at the schedule in June and it's absolutely brutal. We play 4 contenders in a row. Phillies, Braves, Dodgers, and Yankees. If we make it out of that still in contention, then we should definitely be buying at the deadline.
