WilliamTell Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 The Braves have won about 2/3 of their games with Cox coaching them in July. It can be done with this team though, let's go Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reesdi Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Tampa effin' Bay had a stretch where they won 14 out of 15 games, with only loss coming in the extra innings. Dodgers went something like 15 of 17 at one point in July. Cardinals, with their mediocre staff, somehow reeled off like gazzillion in a row.. Rangers had thheir big streak recently. Giants did in June. Only White Sox, the perennial loser-chokers that we are, can never put together a streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 As of right now, I'm not sure our offense has the capabilities to string together 5 or 10 in a row. If Contreras can pitch his ass off on Tuesday against KC, and he can spark this team, then we got a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETS GO SOX! I love your optimism. I'm just worried about this offense. If we had Frank or Maggs, I would be 100% sure that will go on a run. Will see though.

thedoctor Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 the sox haven't really put together a good streak all year, so you think they'd have one in them. of course, that's what i thought last year and the year before that and the year before that...

Yoda Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 In order for us to get into a good winning streak we need our starting pitchers to give it all they have. Go deep into a game and keep the team in the game as well. And all of our 5 starting pitchers have done that, it’s just that our offense is lost at some moment and when it comes to a point where we do start hitting, we can’t get the base runner to home base. Good starting pitching Good bullpen Good offense Good intelligence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Good intelligence. The team lacks intelligence more than anything, they are ridiculously stupid at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraJ14 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Oakland A's were 4.5 games behind Texas a week ago and are now 1.5 games ahead of them. With All-star Tim Hudson out and a not very good bullpen. Anything is possible in baseball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Oakland A's were 4.5 games behind Texas a week ago and are now 1.5 games ahead of them. With All-star Tim Hudson out and a not very good bullpen. Anything is possible in baseball! That really is amazing. The A's always have a monster 2nd half and win that division. Hopefully it's the Sox year to do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Over the weekend I heard that Maggs has another MRI coming up this weekend and then Frank will have one the weekend after that. We should have a much better idea as to if or when those guys will be back this season. I'm hoping at least one of them can get back soon.

hammerhead johnson Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 BTW, nice to see you back Brando. Reesdi just got BANNED. I checked his post history, and I dunno what he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 If we want to win the division we have to be in first place by the time Aug is over. The Aug schedule is brutal for the Twinkies (Anahiem, Oakland, Yankees)....we better get ground right now by sweeping the darn Royals ....we better not lose even one game to those guys right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Reesdi just got BANNED. I checked his post history, and I dunno what he did. Reesdi was Brando in disquise. I guess he's still got a suspension to serve. And coming on under a different name is against the rules. I wasn't even trying to get him in trouble. I just noticed him in the sportsbar jockin the Cubs and I called ihm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
