May 25, 201510 yr We win 10 of the next 11. Season turns around here. If I'm wrong... My head will hang in shame and hi8is will give up on this year.
May 25, 201510 yr That would be neat if you are right. Generally, however, a team doesn't suck radically at home on a homestand and go do something that you suggest is possible. Rather I think a 3-7 road trip is more likely. Or 2-8.

Pretty sure there are 11 games in 10 days (DH in Baltimore Thurs), next Monday is an off-day. Toronto, Baltimore, Houston and the Rangers. Two teams scuffling (granted, when's the last time we swept in Sky Dome, not sure it has ever happened...maybe 2005-06) and then two teams playing pretty darned well in Texas/Houston. 4-7 wouldn't be a total surprise.

May 25, 201510 yr 5-6 is the best they can do. Most likely 4-7 3-8 the metrices have a negative WAR hitting team. This team is epically bad.
May 25, 201510 yr Bring it. This is one tough road trip. They do that, they'll have earned a spot in the hunt.
May 26, 201510 yr If this road trip goes awful which is highly likely, is it time to give up? Fire RV? Think about selling?

May 26, 201510 yr Everything should be on the table if they win 2 or 3 games [/quote Pitching, hitting, fielding and base running are what makes baseball interesting to watch. Failing in the first 3 makes base running a moot point. Is there anything positive to say about the Sox's recent performances. If you can't hit and score runs there is little reason to watch the slaughter. Edited May 26, 201510 yr by sammy esposito
May 26, 201510 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 25, 2015 -> 10:54 PM) HEY. He said 10 of the next 11. 10 game win streak, leggo. someone needs to let go more like
May 26, 201510 yr 4-7 or 3-8 is probably the two most likely outcomes of this road trip. 5-6 or 2-9 being the next candidates. If this road trip goes the way I think it will, they are likely 10 games out of 1st place by early June. Everyday that goes by means Samardzia has less value with his contract status so Hahn will need to be in a spot where a major decision will need to be made early. It's hard to see the White Sox getting major value for him if they wait until end of July. It's easier to see the team getting good value with a move in early June should the wheels fall off. If the White Sox just tread water, say 5-6 on this road trip, and are 8 games back, what then? The same questions still apply. If Hahn wants to resign a guy who won't talk until free agency hits, do they take that risk? They would get a draft pick back in that scenario (to my understanding). So, a major decision looms

May 27, 201510 yr I've learned my lesson to subscribe to MLB.tv monthly rather than yearly, sadly. That 6 game streak gave me false hopes. Is there anyway to just play the Brewers and A's all the time?! The Twins piss me off the most. That's where I expected to be after this off-season.

It is just not going to happen. I can't keep looking at this. You cried for a year and a half about the Sox trading Addison Reed and now you want to trade Robertson?

This team is epically bad. 6-5 would be really nice. It would not solve anything one way or another in regard to the seasonal outlook. This team could win the next six or lose the next six.

June 4, 201510 yr We are 2 1/2 out of a wild card spot. The season is like 50 games done and over 100 left. I think we still have a chance so dump the sky is falling routine please!
