whitesoxfan101 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) The Sox only sweep all season was at Boston (go figure), unless you also count the two game mini-sweep against Cleveland as one as well. Either way, such a thing makes it really tough on a team, especially when they start the season as crappy as the Sox did. The good news is the team still has one of the better records in the AL since early to mid May. But even in this division, it'll be hard to rally into first place (or, for that matter, above .500) if sweeps don't become more frequent. And our offense in particular makes picking up sweeps very difficult. Edited July 20, 2011 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No killer instinct. They are on a year long journey always believing that there is plenty of time to win it. Then when they get mathmatically eliminated, they just say well onto next year. Next. That and our brutal little league like offense that cant hit the crapiest pitchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
