brijames Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think the Sox would play better if they had to chase somebody rather than having everyone gunning for them. Let the Tigers start taking some of the pressure as the team in first place. I think the Sox perform better when they have a challenge and maybe things were coming a bit too easy for them here early this season. Hopefully all the talk will start about how good the Tigers are this year and our Sox get start feeling disrespected and get that chip back on their shoulders.

Kalapse Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I'd much rather have the Sox in first place, they seemed to play relatively well with everyone else behind them for 173 games last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yep. I don't think there's any validity that the Sox would begin to play better or worse due to their position in the standings. It's just a long season, and you're bound to have ups and downs. Fans just seem to forget that way too quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It would be nice if some other team outside of the sox are in first?? " We performed real well the years we chased the twins. LOL We lead wire to wire last year. It seemed to work out for us just fine. People have been talking about the Tigers since they were 5-1. Foxsports picked them as this years whitesox. The whitesox dont need a carrot to get them to play better. Edited May 14, 2006 by southsideirish71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G&T Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 This is like people saying that it's good to lose a few games so a team doesn't get too high on itself. I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 We want to win as many games as we can. I'm all for the Sox in first all season if they can swing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd play better because things come too easy? That sentence is a self contained contradiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
