BigEdWalsh Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 01:12 PM) They are 8 games out. That's not what I would call 'in' it. We're not even halfway into June. I wouldn't say they're out of it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Horrid offensive series with a real chance to bury the Tigers they just laid down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) yeah we got him good earlier this year when he didnt have any command...but historically we struggle against him or any other soft tossing lefty with a decent changeup That's true. Sorry for the pissy attitude, this team is driving me insane. BTW, I can't wait to see how many GIDP's we get when we face Dempster. Let's set the over/under at 5 for both games combined he's scheduled to pitch vs us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 We were outplayed this series, in every aspect of the game, maybe very decent outing by MB today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 8 games is nothing, especially when you're chasing a laborious offense like the Sox. Our offense is not sustainable. Only saving grace is I don't think Detroit has the pitching to really get there and the Indians offense is actually WORSE than ours. the division sucks, which gives me hope.

Maybe, but we do have some really good pitching, so anything can happen when you have that. Still, we haven't seen Danks or Floyd go the long haul yet, Contreras is very old and Javvy hasn't looked so great lately. I still don't think our starting rotation is a LOCK to get there, at least not as much of a lock as Boston or LAA. That said, so far our pitching staff is as good as anyone in baseball, so we have to assume they'll continue to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 We had that glorious homestand following some horrid offensive baseball. We are what we are ... a decent team. No way we are going to run away with this division. I can't see how anybody would think that will happen. Now we suck on the road all of a sudden. We are a weird baseball team.

fathom Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Bad loss, bad series. Pretty much terrible coaching and execution. Have to get it going against a Rockies team that's hitting well again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hard to believe this championship team can go from dominating seven straight to all of sudden rolling over for three. Inconsistent, but at least we are in 1st place and you hope things become more consistent with the win streaks. You can't win em all, but you sure can wish you could.

greg775 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 The Twinks have no chance, just like the Royals. It's us, Detroit and Cleveland. Hope the bats come alive at home this weekend. We ain't gonna win anything with the bats that showed in Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
