May 25, 200718 yr yeah, I think rmejco brought up that we play 50 STRAIGHT games under sub .500 teams. I never thought that was possible. That rocks
May 25, 200718 yr without looking at any statistics from a year ago, it seemed like we played down to our competition. i don't always know that playing weaker teams plays to the advantage of the sox

May 25, 200718 yr You can't complain about the Sox not controlling their own destiny, though. By the end of those 50 games, we'll see precisely what kind of team we're dealing with. Couldn't ask for a better way to get a feel for a team I feel is kind of struggling for an identity.
May 25, 200718 yr QUOTE(striker62704 @ May 25, 2007 -> 09:30 AM) It seems like all but like 6 teams in baseball is under .500. 5 in the AL are over .500 and 7 in the NL.

If we are not in first our damn close to it when this stretch is over we could be in serious trouble.
May 26, 200718 yr QUOTE(GoSox05 @ May 25, 2007 -> 09:26 AM) The Sox will be 40 games over .500 after playing these teams. I would love to see it!
May 26, 200718 yr The strange thingis there are 7 NL teams over .500 and with the screwy interleague scheduele we don't play any of them.
