June 23, 200520 yr God, I knew this team was going to be very good this year but this is ridiculous. I absolutely love this, 10 games up on June 22nd unf***inreal

June 23, 200520 yr this came so fast, seems like yesterday the twins were 4 behind and i was worried.
June 23, 200520 yr Magic # is shrinking 2 by the day and it's amazing. :headbang :headbang :headbang :headbang :headbang
June 23, 200520 yr Big whoop. This team has won absolutely nothing. The 1983 team was up 20 games at one point. The 2001 Mariners were around that too. The 2000 White Sox were in the lower single-digits consistently. They faded without winning a playoff game. The 2003 Royals were up 7.5 at the All-Star Game, 8.5 over the team that won the division that year. Where are the 2003 World Series flags at Kauffman? We must never, ever lose sight of reality, folks. This team has yet to win anything, this team is still vulnerable. This team can still improve, and I hope that Kenny isn't among those who is drunk with joy over our recent win streak. It sure sounds like Ozzie isn't. That said, it could be worse. Far worse. There's nothing wrong with celebrating that. But let's not go overboard.

June 23, 200520 yr HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! Uh oh, the Tigers have won a few in a row. Are people going to start calling them contenders. Oh, and Kenny Rogers is getting knocked around, to those of you that were discussing his and Buehrle's ERA earlier.

I know what you mean, but the Twins have been pathetic for the last week and a half. The Sox have never played that bad all season. I said it earlier, cautiously, and I'll say it again. The Twins are not that good this year.
June 23, 200520 yr Besides the 83 team all the other playoff teams were good but not solid like this year Sox team. My Hat is off to Kenny&Ozzie and the whole f***in team...
June 23, 200520 yr Hell yeah!! The perfect time to go on a winning streak- is when Minnesota goes on a losing streak. Gotta keep pressing!! No time to get comfortable out there. Now lets stick it to the Cubs. (at least win 2 of 3) This is a special special season!
June 23, 200520 yr My only wish besides winning the world series is for the fans to go out and support this team packed the ballpark.. They should be selling out every game

The thing about that is I'm not a player on the team, I don't have to take it one game at a time, I don't have to stay focused on winning ballgames. All I have to do is sit back and enjoy this team. I can look ahead, I can celebrate, I can assume, I can do what ever the f*** I want because what ever I do it will have no beering on what the club does. And right now I chose to recognize the fact that the Sox have a 10 game lead in the Central. And it feels damn good.

It seems so doable when you look at it that way.

It seems so doable when you look at it that way. Correct. You take one off for any Sox win and for any Twins loss. Say we win 43 the rest of the year and the Twins lose 40. Our record would be 92-70 Theirs would be 91-71 Edited June 23, 200520 yr by WHarris1

There's nothing wrong with celebrating that. But let's not go overboard. Don't ruin the party. And we ARE talking about reality. In case you haven't noticed, the original poster simply mentioned a 10 game lead. Where in that do you not see reality, and where is it implied that the team has won anything yet?
