Cochise Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 So the Good Guys are home for the next 12 games, 5 of which are against the Tigers. How many do you all think we'll win? In what place will we be on June 12? I think we'll go 7-5 and I'd be satisfied with that. Oakland: 3-1 Cleveland: 2-1 Detroit: 2-3 Detroit plays Boston and the Angels between now and coming to the Cell for 5. Hopefully they'll beat up on the Kittens. On June 12, I'd like to see the Sox still in second and nipping at Detroit's heels, maybe like 1.5 games out or better. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change it to 3-2 vs the tiggers and an 8-4 homestand and I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochise Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 You're right, let's say 8-4. Man, it'd be sweet to go on a roll and come out on top in the division. We usually play the kittens pretty well. Hopefully we beat up on Verlander, for some reason I hate that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kane0730 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Cleveland is REALLY banged up right now, and we miss Lee. I'm going with: 2-2 Oakland (Should win 3/4, but won't) 3-0 Cleveland 3-2 Tigers 8-4 Homestand, which will make me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREEDY Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 What a difference a couple of weeks make in here I'll bet 6-6. Without Quentin this is a .500 team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsoxs1 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Along with this 12 game homestand, the Sox don't leave the Midwest till August 10 when the fly to Sea. Away games against Milw, the north side team, Cinncy, Clev, KC, Minny, and Det Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right...they did horribly without him lately. I'm not saying we don't need TCQ, but our guys are stepping up and not solely relying on homers.

GreatScott82 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 just continue to win each and every series. if that happens, we would at minimum go 8-4 which is very realistic. Anything under 7-5 would be a dissappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have a very agreeable pancreas, because not only does it find middle ground between head and heart, but a lot of others are saying 8-4 too. And I agree with it as well. 8-4 seems very realistic. Edited June 2, 2009 by witesoxfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Before opening the thread, reading it, and changing my mind with every post, I said 7-5 to myself. Other people in the room were giving me strange looks as I talked to myself, but I don't care. Although 7-5 is an above .500 record, and I would be satisfied with that, I would love to see 8-4 or better. I'm not sure it's realistic, but if they keep playing like this you never know. A four game sweep of the struggling A's would be a great way to start. The very important part of this homestand is the 5 games against Detroit. It is conceivable to come out of this homestand in first place in the AL Central. We cannot, however, rely on doing so with the Detroit series only. So, beating up on the 19-30 A's would give the Sox a nice head start and a good head of steam going into a long battle with the Tigers.

BaseballNick Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 QUOTE (GREEDY @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 03:27 PM) Without Quentin this is a .500 team. I disagree. Pods has played better than anyone could have asked, and filled that glaring hole at the top of the order. They are a more well-rounded team with a healthy Scott Podsednik in the lineup. When TCQ is healthy, I think BA and Wise need to have their playing time cut in favor of Pods. He's been a huge shot in the arm for this team.
