VAfan Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I've been away for several days, during which the Sox went from 3-1/2 back to 6 back. But I don't think the season is over. I still think this is going to come down to the respective last series of the year when we host Cleveland and the Twins are at Toronto. The Twinkies have been playing above their heads for some time. I think they have to hit a reality stretch. The Sox just need to start it over the next 3 games. This has been a wierd year of streaks. There are enough games left to see one more.

soxsoxsoxsox Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 The way the season has gone wouldn't be surprised if we lose the opener, but win the next 2. LOL. This is the first series that the players have actually come out and said they pretty much have to sweep. So will be interesting to see how they respond. 3 back with 16 games to play is definitely doable. 5 back not so much. I'm hoping Manny has a good series.

greg775 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I love the sentiment of this thread so I won't add a negative vibe of any kind. GO SOX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 It's pretty much sweep or bust at this point. If the Twins sweep us or take 2/3, I would come at peace with the season being over. If the sox sweep, I would come at peace with us being back in this thing. Taking 2/3 would still have us at 5 games back, which puts it at a (pretty much over, but just not quite) stage, giving me false hope all in all.

NorthSideSox72 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 The most frustrating possible outcome is Sox take 2/3. Therefore, that is likely what will happen. Hoping for the sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitoMB345 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 This series is the reason we got Manny. He has to step it up for this to not be a waste of 3+ million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Twins take 2 of 3 from the White Sox. They have taken 22 of 31 from the White Sox. They have been the better team this season. I see no reason why this series will turn out any different than previous matchups between these teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetkincaid Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I sincerely hope those f***ers get swept in the first round AGAIN by the Yankees. I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Well enough of the false optimism. Nothing works. We can't beat those f***ers. 5-11 versus Minnesota. That's the season right there. Incomprehensible. I love Ozzie and like KW but I hope Jerry takes them both in an office after the season and rips them a new one. Just figure out a way to make Chicago more competitive against teams in this division. My god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Winning the series puts the Sox 5 back. Sounds a lot better than 9 back. I'm not quite ready to give it up. Let's keep our hopes (dim as they might be) alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
