If the Sox play .500 baseball the rest of the way they will finish:

89-73 that might just be enough to win the division, but thats pushing it. I see them at least playing .600 ball the rest of the way and finishing: 102-60. Hey it can happen? Gotta believe baby! :headbang :headbang :gosox4:

2005            White Sox         24-8                         ?????               ???????         ???????
1990            Reds             24-8                        91-71                1st in NLW    Won WS
1993            Phillies          24-8                        97-65                1st in NLE      Won Pen.

 

Somebody tell Moronatti that the Reds were just beating up on bad teams when they got off to that 24-8 start.
