rangercal Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Someone is going to use the angle that our pitching can't stay this good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of this argument that I love is that when they say this, they fail to state that our hitting most likely won't stay this bad.

This sox team is really special, this is going to be a fun year to let play out. Edited May 9, 2005 by Rowand44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I felt they all made valid points except for, you guessed it, Mariotti. I would have listened to him more closely if he hadn't played the weak schedule card. How could be possibly play that card, knowing full well the Sox are the reason some of those teams have such poor records. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he was way off the mark with that arguement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Wow imagine that the Cubbie lover didn't think the Sox would make the WS...Kotex boy would have a stroke if the Sox ever made it...if this was the Scrubs in this situation he would be screaming how they will win the WS...

nitetrain8601 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 JA Adande said that the bullpen scares him and that the hitting isn't there. Said, "Where's Big Hurt??" Mariotti gave his typical hate on the White Sox. Woody said the same as JA. Calishaq bought it saying that they have the pitching, and that this year, there isn't a Yankees or Red Sox team that we've seen before.

quickman Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 look its no secret that the next two weeks the schedule will be tough if we come through this time in a positive way then let them ask the question again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevHead0881 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 He also forgot to mention that not only are there only 5 teams over .500 in the AL right now, one of those teams we took 4 out of 5 games from (Twins) and two others would have been over .500 if you take away the games that they have lost to us (Blue Jays and Tigers). If you ask me, the only really bad team that we have faced this year is the Royals. I love when people manipulate the facts to support an argument.

AddisonStSox Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I think some of you were waiting for those foul to droul over the team and hand us the pennant. There is a long, long way to go gents. They really all had vaild arguements. Time will tell on this one, we aren't the Yankees of the mid-90s though, I assure you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schedule is the schedule, we beat the favorites of this division early. Many of these experts picked the Tigers and tribe to finish above us. We won. Next two weeks are very important.

I ain't putting us in the world series or anywhere near it yet. I'm just saying that some of these guys should find better arguements.

Only one of our everday players has an average above .300 and he's a rookie from Japan named Tadahito Iguchi. These guys are national sports guys, you can't possibly expect them to know the intricacies of the ballclub. If that was Mariotti giving that arguement, I'd say you can go ahead and blast him, but it was a proclaimed goof from New York. He gets a pass in my book. If I'm a out-of-towner I see one guy hitting over .300 and Jon Garland leading an already impressive staff, I'd be a little cautious as well.

LosMediasBlancas Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Get used to it, it will happen all year. If the Sox play well against a team, it MUST mean that the other team actually sux, no matter what else that other team has done all year. If we beat them, they must suck. If we win the division, well the division must suck. If we make it to the ALCS, well then the AL must have a lot parity this year. If we win the AL, well the AL must be watered down this year. Can't you follow the logic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 It's wrong to go on a show and make the claim that no one is hitting over .300 without actually looking it up. That is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not in line for World Series tickets now, you're not going to be able to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
