June 19, 200520 yr The White Sox have quietly moved their way to #9 in R's scored this year. Where the rest of the ALC stands: Min #14, KC #19, Det #23, Cle #24 The Cub #15. Luck favors the prepared mind. Pitching wise the White Sox trail CLE in OOP (Opponent's OPS). CLE #1, WSox #2, Min #5, Det #10, KC #26 The Cub #15. Now we are starting to look like a WS contender. When you consider losses by starters, by relief, & OOP the Sox have the best pitching staff in MLB. They could make it to #6 in R's scored before the break. That would put them right behind STL. It's looking more & more like an I-55 World Series this year. The national media needs to get on the band wagon because it's a historic matchup in the making. The Chicago White Sox vs the St. Louis Cardinals - it doesn't get much better than that.
June 19, 200520 yr Well, we're 5th in runs scored in the AL. However, the gap between us and the 9th AL team is only 14 runs, whereas the gap between us and the 4th team is 32 runs. Still, that's not too bad.
June 19, 200520 yr I'm forced to wonder how much of our current ranking might be due to 2 games at Coors field and 1 inning against the Diamondbacks. That's about 40 runs in those 3 games. Nonetheless...this offense isn't pretending that they can get by with 1 and 2 run games that often any more. If we're averaging 4 or 5 in most games...we're in good shape with that pitching staff.
