witesoxfan Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 And just to finish it off, Cleveland wins 11-4. BTW, this division is not going to be tough to win. The two main teams I am concerned about, KC and Minny, have looked like s*** in their first games of the season(given, I haven't seen the Twins, which is stupid-ass s***, thanks FSN-Minnesota or whatever the f*** its name is). The Twins really don't concern me that much, and while that may sound like I'm jinxing them, I really don't feel I am. Their pitching staff is s***(Radke, Santana, and Lohse are an ok 1-2-3, but they have very little after that, and the bullpen is weak), the lineup is not that good either(though it never has been great), and I personally feel Gardenhire bunts way too much. KC's rotation is thin, their bullpen is not much better, and while their offense is solid, it is injury prone(neither Gonzalez nor Sweeney played a full year last year, and Beltran is usually good for one DL stint a year). Cleveland is surprisingly good, though I think this year will more of a growing up year. Not so much like it was last year when they were awful, as I think they'll actually be pretty good, I just don't think their record will support how good they actually were. I mainly think this because I don't think their pitching staff is quite ready yet. They could also be like the 2003 Royals and actually be in the race. We'll have to see. Detroit will improve dramatically. I could see a 25-30 game increase from them. I just don't think their rotation is good enough to keep them competitive. Just so everyone knows, I am high on the Sox this year for 2 reasons. First and foremost, I just like the vibe I'm getting from the Sox themselves, and this has been supported by the White Sox play so far, other then the bottom of the 9th on Monday(but let's not go there). If you ask me, they have played the best baseball out of all the AL Central teams thus far, and I could easily see them getting out to a 15-5 start or so, go up 5 or 6 games on the rest of the division, and then not look back. Another reason is due to what I have said above. I just don't think the other 4 teams can match up to the Sox. To borrow one of i4e's favorite sayings, winning the AL Central will be like being the tallest midget, or to compare it to baseball standards, being the best player on the 2003 Detroit Tigers(or the 1962 Mets for our "ancient" posters on here). I think that if we are 8-10 games over .500 at the end of May(which would be about 30-20, and I think that's entirely possible...consider that it's winning 3 of every 5 games), and we could already be running away with the division. However, I am getting completely ahead of myself. It is still the first week of the season. I'll enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
