Wedge Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 that's a little over the top, but yeah I think it goes a long way to playoff central Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Sunday games are not good to this team. Ozzie needs to take the boys to church before tomorrow's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Tomorrow is an important step, but bottom line is we go as far as the pitching will take us so we'll have to see if they can continue to throw quality starts and if the pen can do what it did today, well things would definately be better.

TheBlackSox8 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 i'll just say that if the sox wind up winning the division....these two series were the turning point. Pitching is getting A LOT better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I understand where you're coming from...but I just can't say so yet. There's just too much baseball to play, and we still have to go to Detroit. We win the first 2 games next time we're in Detroit...and you make this thread...then I agree with you.

Greg Hibbard Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 I really feel that tomorrow's game will decide the division if we win, I'm really confident we can beat them in the next two series if we lose, 7.5 games back is going to be too tough it's s***ty to place so much emphasis on one game, but here we are even so, we really cannot be unhappy with 69-46 at this point if we can just keep winning series we will still have a chance at even winning 100 games 31-16 is not totally unreasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get good pitching, no one will stop us. I've said it all year, but I'm yet to be convinced that the good pitching is there yet. Baby steps though and they are making some strides. The ridiculous performance of the pen today was super sweet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ridiculous performance of the pen today was super sweet though. I'm not worried about the pen unless Cotts is in to be honest, they are good. However if we get good pitching, we'll win tomorrow and win 3 of 4 at Detroit, hence me saying that senario will lead to me saying we'll win the division. Detroit's offense can't hold our offense's jock strap, so if we get pitching from the starters to go with our pen, they are in deep do do.

That's going to be a lot more important then these games are. However, thats 2 weeks into the future. Right now tomorrow's game is the biggest of the season. If we don't play good baseball, 2 weeks from now may not matter. It starts with just going out each and every day, giving it your best and playing fundemental baseball, I've long said we do that we are golden. The bad news is, we've had a hell of a time consistently doing it this season and we've been lucky for the most part that our offense has been ridiculously good.

Baines3 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) A long ways to go yet. However the Tigers are starting to feel the pressure while the Sox know what it takes to win under pressure. Never say die!!
