September 18, 200619 yr I would like to be in but in order for the Sox to overcome a 4 game deficit that would require a winning streak and I don't think this team is capable of stringing together 3 or 4 in a row
September 18, 200619 yr QUOTE(The Critic @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 04:46 PM) I'm in, but I think they're out. ^^^
September 18, 200619 yr I agree with critic. I wish we were in, but I think we're done. One frustrating thing: If we won our next 7 games we'd be in the playoffs. We would pass Detroit. One fricking week of games. 7-0 and we'd be in. But the team is totally incapable of that 7-0.
September 18, 200619 yr If the ship is going down - and all indications are that it is - I'm going down with it. Boy, do I envy you people who like football and still have something to look forward to this off-season.
September 18, 200619 yr The problem with these threads (which have occurred frequently) is that nobody who's "in" can logically believe it... and nobody wants to say "out" cause they think it will reflect on them as a fan. Most people registered here want to be in with their hearts. If they pull out a miracle and come back, we'll all feel great.... It will be a thrill. It would be completely unprecedented and unexpected.... But our brains say this team is out. In addition to being too far back, they haven't played the type of baseball they need to make a run since about June. So I'll always be with the white sox. I'll root for them no matter what. So I'm always "in." But its not our year
September 18, 200619 yr Out. I was "In" until Saturday, when we blew a 3 run lead, and the Twins won with Silva on the mound against C.C. Edited September 18, 200619 yr by fathom

September 18, 200619 yr What critic said! I'd like to be in...but ever since the All-Star break...this team has underachieved tremendously and just seemed to go through the motions with every series it seemed like. Every single person on here has waited for them to put some sort of streak together for the past 3 months and it just hasn't happened. From Ozzies ridiculous lineups and pen handling...to the disappearance of Thome...everything has gone wrong for this team. I agree 100% with Hawk...they just weren't hungry this year. My fear now is they'll fall back to a mediocre pretender for the next 5 years. They've missed a great opportunity to vault this franchise into a power.
September 18, 200619 yr I'm not giving up on the season yet, but I doubt this team makes the playoffs.
September 18, 200619 yr You have to make your own breaks. This team just looked at the talent assembled and assumed they would go on a roll. They didn't push it, and it cost them dearly. It would take a miracle to make the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised if they layed over and died against the Tigers.
September 18, 200619 yr In....that is what my World Series DVDs will be doing the day we are officially eliminated.
September 18, 200619 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 06:15 PM) You a basketball fan? I've pretty much become a one-sport devotee by design, because after slacking off on stuff for six months every year I need the next six months to catch up on everything!
September 18, 200619 yr 95 wins should do it. go 11-2. tigs go 6-7 twins go 7-6 we're right where we were when we started. Tied.
September 18, 200619 yr Anybody catch Eric Neel's rant. He calls the Sox Dead Team Walking. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...mp;lid=tab1pos2

He calls the Sox Dead Team Walking. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...mp;lid=tab1pos2 so sad, so true I'm kind of ready for it to be officially over so I can stop holding out hope for some dramatic change.
September 19, 200619 yr They quite long ago. Why shouldn't I? Actually, I'll always root for this team, even when they've given up, I'm certainly not happy with them. And I'm not going to pretend that they still have a decent chance of making the playoffs.
September 19, 200619 yr I'm out, and so are the Sox. I am a diehard fan, but I'm sick of having a baseball team affect my mood. I'll just wait till next year, see if we make some changes, and life goes on. Football season will hopefully keep me occupied, but I'm a Bills fan, and Their season could be over by the end of the month, so we'll see.
