DABearSoX Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 As we have seen in the past few years its not just players that make a team a champion its the chemistry of the team. As the old saying goes there is no I in team. I believe that this sox team has some of the best team unity that I have ever seen on the southside. We must attribute a lot of this to our manager Ozzie Guillen. I think that these injuries might bring out the best in whats left. Reasons being: The 2 biggest attentions in the media on our team are most of the time Maggs and the Hurt. This puts a lot of pressure on them, so they gotta do that little bit extra to make us a winner. With them fallen I feel that this team will realize that there has to be one person everyday that has to step up, no blame on any one individual. Crede was tonights savior now who could it be tomorrow. A true pick to click. The marlins showed us all last year how a team can pull together and become a champion. sure i know there is somewhere out there who will tell me Oh but look at thier pitching staff....my rebuttle: Did you know that thier pitching staff was so good in April of '03? Sure all the talks about aquiring all these big names are intriguing but not necessarily needed. We have to sit back and see what happens. I was pretty pissed when i herd maggs went back on the DL but then these last 2 days when i have seen how the team has played w/o the big 2 made me a little excited. I will be happy with what kenny does but will be just as happy if he does nothing at all. except maybe a little more in the pen. I have faith the team will begin to surge, the last 3 in our rotation will start stepping it up and this offense w/o Frank and Maggs will suprise the s*** out of people.

1549 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Team chemistry can win ball games--but it is not a necessity. More than a few teams in sports have won with the players ready to kill eachother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I am lovin' this 'never say die' mentality this team has shown this year. I think team chemistry has some to do with it as well as Ozzie not taking any of the lazy attitude that JM seemed to tolerate with this team (either that or the ones that were spreading the lazy attitude have been traded or walked via free agency).

This team seems to be more urgent than years past...a little like that 2000 team that seemed to be full of late inning thrills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
