maggsmaggs Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Let's just wait till we play the twinkies and then we can criticize if we want. But until then don't even worry about records. We are a second half team anyway, as it gets hot, so do out bats. These games will prove meaningless in the end; all we have to do is take care of the Twins when we play them.

WHarris1 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 And a Twins loss to Oakland never hurt anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Games aren't meaningless till homefield has been clinched(with you obviously winning the division), or you are mathematically out of it. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Games aren't meaningless till homefield has been clinched(with you obviously winning the division), or you are mathematically out of it. Period. Agreed. Every game is important. Why can't we just run away with this division? It'd be nice to be able to relax a bit for a month - then again, I don't know if I want a team 'relaxing' before the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 if we play the west like we have done with the east so far we be fine since this division is going to be won in the central..... the way i look at it who ever takes the season series twins vs whitesox will be the champ.. so as long as we dont get pounded im ok with what we have done so far out of our division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 These games are meaningles?? Uh, i don't think so. Divisions can come down to 1 game difference between playoffs and no playoffs.........every single game counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Meaningless games...I've heard it all now.. :dips*** You do realize that since 1985, only 3 teams that played poorly (I think it's 3 games under .500 or worse) in April, ended up making the playoffs? Sox have choked and pissed over themselves with stunning regularity in the last 2 years. They've invented new ways to fail. Dunno bot'choo, but I personally do not feel safe with anything less than a 10 game lead on the Twins by the Break. The bigger the lead, the more inclined JR will be to actually spend (read: we need an ace and a stud closer) for a change. If anything....these "meaning-less" games show the kind of TALENT Sox have. Frankly, I am not impressed. I expected better coming into this season. Konerko, Lee, Crede, Harris, Garland, Gload, Perez, Rowand, Buerhle, Politte, Koch and even Magglio the Superstar.....Thank God for ALC is all I'm gonna say.

EvilMonkey Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 It will be important for this team to kick some serious Tiger ass in the first meeting, just to set them straight. If the Tigers win the first game, or even the first series, the Sox are toast against them the rest of the year. But in the overall picture, I believe all games are important. Sure, it is a 'marathon', but you had better run it fast. And actually, I thik JR will be LESS inclined to trade if we have a big lead, but rather more inclined if the lead is only 2 or 3 games, or if we are behind by only 2 or 3 games.

greg775 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Brando, why are your expectations so high?? We are what we are, a team capable of finishing about 12 games over .500 if all goes right. A team capable of sticking close to .500 if all goes wrong. As long as we hang close to the Twinks and take care of business against them, we'll be OK. We are not gonna be a dominant team. Just the way it is. We ain't got the talent for that. We're in the Central for goshsakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Yeah, I remember how meaningless those 8 losses to Detroit were last year. Didn't cost the Sox a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 The only meaningless games are played in March. And usually in October as well, as far as the Sox are comcerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
