August 5, 200718 yr I am looking forward to the future with Richar, Owens, Fields, Danks, and others. I think Danks and Fields are going to be solid for years to come.
August 5, 200718 yr I don't know about the playoffs, but I still believe we'll end up with a pretty decent W-L total (.500+). This team had way too many talented players underachieving for the first half of the season to have the current record be reflective of their true ability. If anything, I think the next two months will at least prove we're not 3 years away from competing.
August 5, 200718 yr Detroit and Cleveland are both struggling and we have alot of games left againts DET, CLE and MIN. We just have to be more consistent. We looked good this weekend but looked like a high school team in the Yankees series. The Sox are just teases, it won't happen.

August 9, 200718 yr anything is possible. We need one of the two in front of us to absolutely go in the tank.
August 9, 200718 yr QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 12:17 PM) anything is possible. We need one of the two in front of us to absolutely go in the tank. Um two? There's 3 teams at least 5 games ahead of the Sox right now and if only one of them goes in the tank it just means the other 2 teams will get that many more wins when they go head to head. It's going to be virtually impossible to make any sort of run due to the unbalanced scheduling.
August 9, 200718 yr as of yesterday i thought we could do it.... but with Danks skipping a start and Angel Pagan battling Colitis my world has been turned upside down.

It's going to be virtually impossible to make any sort of run due to the unbalanced scheduling. yes and no from now until sep. 13 the indians schedule is as follows: white sox - 7 games yankees - 3 games detroit - 5 games tampa bay - 3 games KC - 3 games LAA - 4 games Minnesota - 6 games Seattle - 1 game over the course of those 32 games i could easily see them going 15-17 a similar thing can be said about the tigers as they play the yankees a whopping 8 times over their next 32 games and for the twins, they probably have the easiest remaining schedule but if the sox play good enough ball to catch the tigers and indians i would suffice to say that they have played well enough to catch the twins too all this being said, the sox still need to 1. win tonight 2. win roughly 22 of their next 32 easier said than done, that will be no easy task for this team or any team for that matter, but if and i say a big if they are able to accomplish those things over the next month here they could find themselves as little as 3 games out come middle of september yes, it is dreaming, and yes it is far-fetched; however, it is still a possiblity despite the unbalanced schedule

August 10, 200718 yr Author here i thought jumping out to a 3-0 lead early things were looking good to take the series but here comes bad pitching combined with bad defense and now its looking bleak 7-3 in the 5th
August 11, 200718 yr Author not this again... are these guys just teases or are they ready to make a serious run? http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/standings?date=20050811 the crazy thing is that it may only take 88 wins to take the division this year which would still require a near impossible 34-13 record from here on out for the sox (which is a 0.72 win percentage) gonna need to rattle off a 8-10 game win streak not these 4 game streaks here and there
August 12, 200718 yr Author QUOTE(RME JICO @ Aug 12, 2007 -> 03:35 PM) 36-9 to finish with 90 wins. /thread well really i think it will only take 88 wins to win this now very very mediocre division either way 34-11 = done and yes... /thread
