August 1, 200619 yr Although the Sox haven;t played the best of teams recently. They have begun to show that they are still the team to beat in the AL. I think we have finally seen the real White Sox in the last few days, and the little skid is, as hawk says it..."OVA!"
August 1, 200619 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 04:46 PM) The Tigers are the team to beat in the AL, we need to get that stright. At this point last year, I was still saying the Red Sox were the team to beat in the AL. I said that until they were beaten. The team having the best record is not "The team to beat", the defending champs are.
August 1, 200619 yr This thread title had me worried that there was some bad news about the heart and soul of this team.

The team having the best record is not "The team to beat", the defending champs are. It's not that they have the best record, it's that they're the best team, playing the best baseball, in the best division. Edited August 2, 200619 yr by SoxFan1
August 2, 200619 yr Just out of curiosity, why wasn't this added to any of the other threads of the same topic? There's a few.

And we're wearing the prettiest rings. That makes us the team to beat until we're out of it, IMO. The White Sox were the best team playing the best baseball last year, and the Red Sox were the team to beat until the White Sox did so.
August 2, 200619 yr When we start seeing some consistensy from our starters, then maybe this statement will be true.

Until the defending champ is beaten they are the team to beat... maybe not the best team but the team to beat none the less.
