21 hours ago21 hr ESPN has the Sox playoff odds now at 65.6% up from 20.9% in May, the largest odds increase of any team. Conversely, it had the Guardians playoff odds in May at 88.7% and now at 72.4%. Sox trending in the right direction. I would venture to say Sox should be favorites to win the Central, and make the playoffs. You can put it on the board. Yes!

17 hours ago17 hr Seems about right. There are still a lot of games to play. This team doesn't feel like they are two steps from disaster.

You dumped on this team numerous times in the beginning of the season.

You dumped on this team numerous times in the beginning of the season.Define your definition of "very good" please.They are five games over .500, certainly remarkable given the past three seasons but "very good?" I suggest we wait and see on that moniker. Playing in the worst division in baseball also isn't hurting their cause. It's not like they are going to win 90+ games.I've seen a lot of "very good" Sox teams in my time 59, 63, 64, 65, 72, 77, 83, 90, 93, 00, 05, 08, 21.This one hasn't met that standard yet.

They've even played winning baseball without Mune. Mune is coming back soon which should make the team better. The 2026 playoffs are within reach. The last 3 months of the season should be great!!!!

Since then we have gone 44-35. If that pace continues the rest of the way, then we will win 88 games. 90 wins is certainly a possibility if guys stay healthy.
2 hours ago2 hr Also it’s not like there is unbalanced schedules anymore. They are beating a ton of teams outside the division.

Yes!I will be a lot more comfortable if we can somehow get to 10+ games over .500. We’ve been around 3-5 games over for quite a spell and one bad week can see us under .500. Maybe once Mune is back we can really get on a roll. We also need Colson to be more consistent. The pitching lately hasn’t been bad and we are right now at league average with a .423 ERA.

1 hour ago1 hr Sox have 10 games left against Cleveland.It's not that the other games are irrelevant, but those 10 games can effectively cancel everything else out.
1 hour ago1 hr Every season is different and these guys are very entertaining. I am going to enjoy the ride. I think they should make the playoffs and that would be outstanding. It's just great to truly care about White Sox baseball again.
