quickman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 QUOTE (scenario @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 11:04 AM) Just a quick calculation and thought... If the Sox continue to win at their current rate (.563), they will finish the season with 91 wins. For the Tribe to reach 91 wins, they will have to win 58 out of their remaining 90 games (.644 winning percentage). For the Tigers to reach 91 wins, they will have to win 57 out of their remaining 90 games (.633 winning percentage). And for the Twins to reach 91 wins, they will have to win 55 out of their remaining 90 games (.611 winning percentage). Their winning percentages over their first 72 games: Tribe - .458 Tigers - .472 Twins - .500 (I didn't include the Royals above for a fairly obvious reason. They suck. They would have to win 61 out of their remaining 90 games... a .677 winning percentage. They had a .417 winning percentage in their first 72 games.) What was the tigers and the indians winning percentage the last two seasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2007, Cleveland has a .593 winning percentage for the season. In 2006, a .481 winning percentage. In 2007, the Tigers had a .543 winning percentage.

WilliamTell Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The White Sox are first in the American League in run differential at 82 over and only trail the Cubs and Phillies in the MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is a positive and all it's never good to count anyone out. All I have to do is remember my heart rate late in 05. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I keep telling myself "The twins aren't good" unfortunately, they keep proving me wrong. I no longer think that team isn't any good lost a game in the standings today, and if we lose tomorrow we'll probably lose another one. they seem to be on a roll right now.

Or knowing this team they'll go on a 5 or 6 game winning streak where we get a decent cushion again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retro1983hat Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but the Cubs undressed the Sox this weekend and exposed every naked weakness we have. Plain and simple, the Cubs are better. I hate to say it, but it's true, and everyone here deep down knows it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to eat those words. I am also a realist and position by position we are not the better team. I love the Sox, but I want the team as pissed as I was Sunday night. They crapped down their legs this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Locked for your viewing pleasure...oh and Sox are so gonna beat the DOdgers on tuesday and put an end to that road losing streak. In fact, I'm forecasting 2 out of 3 against the Dodgers with a slight possibility of a White Sox sweep (over the Dodgers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have several players that are playing WAAAAYYY over their heads, including their best SP, their SS, their 2B, their CF, and their C. We have several players that are underachieving. With both of those factors together, yes they are better right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
