April 22, 201213 yr So much more than last year. This team is just fun to watch, it's corny, but they "appreciate the game."
April 22, 201213 yr Maybe it's the idea of team/teammates, not throwing people under the bus, no drama...without all the outside distractions, there's more of an ability to focus on the game and less time for theatrics and off-field drama. We're only making headlines this year for baseball-related reasons, and that's nice to see.
April 22, 201213 yr I agree with all of the above. I'm going to stick with this team no matter what happens. I think that whatever they have, Robin and his staff will get the most out of them.
April 22, 201213 yr So much more enjoyable when they are playing good and even when they lose they seem to be fighting
April 22, 201213 yr Kind of like my I like this team thread near the end of spring training. Might surprise a few people.
April 22, 201213 yr It's easy for me to enjoy because I really wanted Dunn and Peavy to contribute to the Sox- not be their downfall.
April 22, 201213 yr De Aza is fun to watch at the top of the order. And more young players are playing instead of vets helps too.

When the Sox hit the ball and its starters can go 7 innings I like the team's chances against any team in the Central. GO SOX.

April 22, 201213 yr The team got better when the circus left town...shocking. If we can get some consistent offense we should be pretty good.

April 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 04:33 PM) I enjoy watching this team as well, but contention is a long shot. I disagree, I think our pitching staff will keep us in the hunt most of the season. It's the offense that will ultimately make or break us.
April 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) They're certainly likable. I'm even warming up to AJ. ... it took you 8 years?

April 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 04:21 PM) ... it took you 8 years? I haven't liked him since he elbowed Frank years ago at the Metrodump. I root for the guy because he's a White Sox though.

I root for the guy because he's a White Sox though. he single-handedly WON you an ALCS, he stomped aaron boone, he gave joe borchard $100 for homering off Brett Tomko, I could go on and on and on he's one of the biggest leaders on this club.

That's great. It doesn't mean I have to like him.

April 23, 201213 yr The 2011 team should have had the motto "trying to lose". This team actually seems decent enough to contend.
