LittleHurt05 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 07:57 AM) Herb Lawrence @Ecnerwal23 White Sox only have to go 38-70 the rest of the season to beat @JeffPassan preseason prediction. It'll be tough but I predict they'll do it 36-72 for SI's prediction. I still can't believe people had them winning under 70 games. I didn't expect 90+ wins, but this was easily around a .500 team, not a 90+ loss team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Stat of the Day: Through 1/3 of the season, the Sox score .5 runs per game more than the Tigers. They also give up .5 runs less per game than the Tigers. Sox RS 260 - RA 220 Det RS 233 - RA 247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Just bought my dad tickets to the Fathers day game (behind home plate). Dodgers vs. White Sox, a true treat, since the old man is a diehard Dodger fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 10:55 AM) I assume you mean in first place on June 5? It was actually June 1st in those years. I forgot to correct for 2012, we weren't 2 1/2 games up on that day, but we were in first. Three of the four times from 1995-2011 (2000/2005/2008) that we were leading on June 1st, we went on to win the division. 2004 was the exception. 70% successful rate in predicting eventual playoff participation during that timeframe, for all MLB teams in first place as the calendar turns to June.

Princess Dye Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Is there any way the Sox keep Peavy for one more year on his huge option salary? They could rationalize to themselves $22M for Peavy and Quintana instead of $10M for Floyd and Quintana(plus in the mind of Jerry, you avoid the large Peavy buyout). And (hopefully) assume you keep getting this great value from young guys up and down the roster Edited June 7, 2012 by Jose Paniagua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the answer is still almost certainly no. Just food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a substantial cost to that part too if it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hudson down to a .167 average with the White Sox now. Morel-esque. Although he did have that triple and maybe another key hit or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) The Score said that Fukudome is almost guaranteed to be placed on the DL in the next 24 hours. It's a rib issue. Dan Johnson should get the call up so we don't have to start Lillibridge/Flowers at 1b against a RHP. Edited June 7, 2012 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
