June 19, 200817 yr QUOTE (scenario @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 11:04 AM) Just a quick calculation and thought... If the Sox continue to win at their current rate (.563), they will finish the season with 91 wins. For the Tribe to reach 91 wins, they will have to win 58 out of their remaining 90 games (.644 winning percentage). For the Tigers to reach 91 wins, they will have to win 57 out of their remaining 90 games (.633 winning percentage). And for the Twins to reach 91 wins, they will have to win 55 out of their remaining 90 games (.611 winning percentage). Their winning percentages over their first 72 games: Tribe - .458 Tigers - .472 Twins - .500 (I didn't include the Royals above for a fairly obvious reason. They suck. They would have to win 61 out of their remaining 90 games... a .677 winning percentage. They had a .417 winning percentage in their first 72 games.) What was the tigers and the indians winning percentage the last two seasons?

June 19, 200817 yr QUOTE (quickman @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 12:12 PM) What was the tigers and the indians winning percentage the last two seasons? In 2007, Cleveland has a .593 winning percentage for the season. In 2006, a .481 winning percentage. In 2007, the Tigers had a .543 winning percentage. In 2006, a .586 winning percentage. 2007 Standings http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/standi...sp?ymd=20071005 2006 Standings http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/standi...sp?ymd=20061001 One of the things I like about this database is that you can look at the records and standings on any date.

June 19, 200817 yr The White Sox are first in the American League in run differential at 82 over and only trail the Cubs and Phillies in the MLB.

While this is a positive and all it's never good to count anyone out. All I have to do is remember my heart rate late in 05.
June 21, 200817 yr I keep telling myself "The twins aren't good" unfortunately, they keep proving me wrong. I no longer think that team isn't any good lost a game in the standings today, and if we lose tomorrow we'll probably lose another one. they seem to be on a roll right now.
June 23, 200817 yr QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) After this week the Sox could be down for the count.... Or knowing this team they'll go on a 5 or 6 game winning streak where we get a decent cushion again.
June 24, 200817 yr Author As I said from the first post in this thread, the whole point is to enjoy the good times. A weekend like this one should only reinforce the whole point of this thread!
June 24, 200817 yr Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but the Cubs undressed the Sox this weekend and exposed every naked weakness we have. Plain and simple, the Cubs are better. I hate to say it, but it's true, and everyone here deep down knows it too.
June 24, 200817 yr QUOTE (Maxwell @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 09:46 PM) No, I don't agree at all. I hope you eat those words next weekend. I would love to eat those words. I am also a realist and position by position we are not the better team. I love the Sox, but I want the team as pissed as I was Sunday night. They crapped down their legs this weekend.

Otherwise it was strengths not performing as expected
June 24, 200817 yr Locked for your viewing pleasure...oh and Sox are so gonna beat the DOdgers on tuesday and put an end to that road losing streak. In fact, I'm forecasting 2 out of 3 against the Dodgers with a slight possibility of a White Sox sweep (over the Dodgers).

Plain and simple, the Cubs are better. I hate to say it, but it's true, and everyone here deep down knows it too. Are they playing better , yes, are they more talented, no. They have several players that are playing WAAAAYYY over their heads, including their best SP, their SS, their 2B, their CF, and their C. We have several players that are underachieving. With both of those factors together, yes they are better right now.
