LDF Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 i would imagine yes, but they are still finging ways to win. i would thought they might come out in a slump after the all star game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Who knows? If this team plays up to it's potential..... hell yeah we can. And we'll win the AL Central..... IMO. If this team keeps playing down to the level of it's competition..... hell no we can't. Simple as that. Take one game/series at a time.

The Bones Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I'm still waiting for KC to fall into a slump and for the Sox to take advantage. But, I am more worried about Minnesota, they actually have experience in pennant races and look like they aren't laying down just yet. The sox need to worry about themselves though. They won't do anything if they play like they did in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Anaheim might be an accurate comparison to the Royals, but that 2001 DBacks team had a TON of veterans with playoff experience, and a MAJOR difference in the 1-2 punch on the mound. That said, the longer the Royals stay in 1st, the more they're gonna feel like they belong there, and play that way as a result. ( Exception, of course.....'69 Cubs......anything can happen.... ) Do I think the Sox will catch KC? Honestly, no. Too inconsistent, and it would take a REALLY good second half AND a major dropoff by the Royals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Trade Lee and Konerko, and we win. I've said it quite a few times, but IMO, it is the thing that is keeping us back. We have too many .270 25 80 type guys on this team(and some put up worse numbers than that). You trade Lee, that opens up a spot in LF for Everett, and you can then put Rowand and Harris in CF. Trade Konerko, and you free up $8 mill a year, and you free up a spot for Dauber to get into the lineup consistently. If we do trade those two, I'll say yes, they do win. If not, I say no, they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone kept expecting the White Sox to find reality, but they never did (until the playoffs, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
