Greg Hibbard Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 What troubles me about this year's campaign is that it resembles 2001 so much. Start off terrible, climb all the way seemingly back in it against the NL to around .500, get handcuffed into making no moves, go 5-10 under in August and September, end up with 79-83 wins.

JorgeFabregas Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 So how do we keep Detroit and Minny from playing the NL teams? It's pretty silly that this run is changing KW's strategy, as they haven't made up significant ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty silly that this run is changing KW's strategy, as they haven't made up significant ground. We've made up 1 game in the standings since June 1st. We were a game and a half closer to first on May 26th than we are today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't particularly believe in momentum, but I think that when these guys start winning, the pressure starts coming off a bit, the rumors cease a little, they can start relaxing and playing more as they are capable of. Then they'll start eating into the deficit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 It's just nice to not try and avoid BBTN or ESPNEWS because I don't want to see another Sox loss. Heck, I'm excited to watch the game tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not as good as the Twins andthey've obviously played like dogs***, but i really feel with a couple breaks they could have competed this year.

It's a team that has talent that is better than it has displayed. The pitching has underachieved, and quite a few of our guys have hit below their norms. Just imagine how bad we'd be if Alex Rios hadn't become The Awesome, as well as PK finding the fountain of youth, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Sox are one of three AL teams at 7-2 in interleague. Tigers and Red Sox are the others. Half way through, AL leads 66-60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they will compete as I have a hard time believing, but anytime it's less than a 7-game deficit like now, I won't call anybody crazy for thinking the Sox still have a chance.

hi8is Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 After the all-star break we play 4 against the twins. If we can get to above .500 and stay there... Get to 5 games out.... We're looking great to be back in contention then. Huummmmmmm..... It ain't over fellaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox were 6 back on May 4 - now we're 6.5 back. In other words, we've played basically even with the Twins over the past 6 weeks, but are still in a hole due to the poor start in April. There is still plenty of time to overtake the Twins, especially with the number of games we have left versus them and the Tigers. The Twins have their issues too: injuries to their middle infield, Mauer not having an MVP season (only .310 with 2 HRs), and Rauch is starting to blow some saves...
