stretchstretch Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 right now we're 6.5 games behind Detroit and 2 ahead of Boston the in WC Don't get me wrong, I'd love to win the division, but does anyone think our chance of the WC over a Boston team that we're already ahead of and has both a questionable pitching staff and hitting outside of 3-4 much better than gaining and keeping the lead and the central. Right now, Boston losing three to Detroit and us winning 4 against KC puts us 5.5 ahead of them!! Whereas three Detroit losses and 4 wins by us, still has us at best 2 games behind Detroit, assuming we even win today. Might be defeatest thinking, but time is short.....

The Critic Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Neither. Let them trade wins while the Sox streak, and the Sox gain on both. The Sox can take care of their own business vs. Detroit later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I think a lot depends on today's game. A win today and you still have a shot at the division. A loss and it really is a longshot. I know its "only" a 2 game swing, but I still think that is how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I hope Boston takes 2 of 3. That way the Sox can maintain their lead on the Sawks while gaining on the Tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Whatever happens happens in that series, I just want the Sox to go out and work on playing good baseball each and every day. We do that and we should be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I'm just worrying about the Sox right now. The Sox can't control how the Red Sox or Tigers do unless they play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Like it's been said, root for the Sox...if they don't win, it doesn't matter wtf Boston or Detroit do. That said, I agree with fathom in hoping for a sweep. I'd prefer it be Boston, but either way, a sweep either gives you two close races, or a pretty sizeable lead(unless of course Minnesota sweeps whoever the hell they're playing) along with another overcomeable deficit.

Balta1701 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 If the first 2 games of this series had gone the other way, I'd be rooting for Detroit. But until we're out of the division, every Detroit loss brings up a half game closer. I hope the Carmines sweep them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I know one thing...I'd rather be going head to head for the division than the wild card, cause we may have that as a fall back plan. Not to mention we have a bit more control over the division (since we still have a few more games vs the Tigers) than we would in the wild card race.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 This is a no-lose situation if we take care of our own business. I'll be cheering for the Red Sox. I want the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
