August 24, 200520 yr As of August 23rd, we're 75-47. Here's how I see the remaining schedule: September: I think we should be ok in September - we play KC 6 times and Detroit 8 times - if we go 9-5 in those 14, prettty reasonable I think, and 7-8 in 15 vs. Cleveland/Minnesota/Anaheim, that puts us at 16-13 for September, and gives us 91 wins plus whatever we can must up the remaining of the month.... August We have 2 at Minny, 4 at Texas (1 double-header), and 3 at Seattle Having no offense, I think the best we can do is 4-5, 5-4....Let's the worst case scenario in my logic, 4-5. If we go 4-5 the remaining games, that's 95 wins for the season - which should get us into the playoffs. Cleveland has 36 games left - to get to 95 wins, they'd have to go 25-11 Minnesota has 37 games left - to get to 95 wins, they'd have to go 28-9 Of course, the one factor that can change everything is H2H matchups - the Sox play Minny 8 more times, Cleveland 6 - losing a large percentage of those 14 games would change everything, but going .500 in those games, would almost ensure the division title for the White Sox. Edit to include that from this point on, I think the White Sox will finish with a 20-18 record. *** Cleveland Schedule - it is possible to go 25-11 with this schedule - but improbable, they have 18 of 36 vs. respectable teams (Toronto, White Sox, Twins, A's)....: August 24th-25th: @TB August 26th-28th: @Toronto September 12th-14th: vs. Oakland September 27th-29th: vs. TB -6 remaining vs. White Sox -6 remaining vs. Twins -6 remaining vs. Tigers -7 remainnig vs. Royals Minnesota Schedule - nearly impossible to go 28-9 (Texas isn't that good but they can still outscore you at times, plus 17 vs. respectable teams - White Sox, Indians, A's) August 26th-28th: @Texas September 5th-7th: vs. Texas September 19th-21st: @ Oakland - 6 remaining vs. Tigers - 8 remaining vs. White Sox - 7 remaining vs. Royals - 6 remaining vs. Indians Edited August 24, 200520 yr by spiderman
August 24, 200520 yr How many will we win this year? I don't know, except to say a hell of a lot less than most thought we'd win at the beginning of the month.
August 25, 200520 yr Author White Sox are now 76-47, Cleveland now has to go 25-10 and Minnesota 28-8 to reach 95 wins, the total wins I see the White Sox getting.
August 25, 200520 yr 95 should be attainable, easily...if we revert back to original form. QUOTE(spiderman @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 07:54 AM) White Sox are now 76-47, Cleveland now has to go 25-10 and Minnesota 28-8 to reach 95 wins, the total wins I see the White Sox getting.
August 25, 200520 yr i still believe they will get 100 wins....i think after watching last nights game they are going on a streak

Just like the magic number right now is 30, I think win total of 95 should get us the division.
August 25, 200520 yr 95's a good bet. We've avg'd I think 14W in Sept over the past 5 yrs. Scrounging up another 5 wins beyond that is reasonable.
