Reddy Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 7, 2009 -> 02:40 PM) Of course.....If we don't play really well over this stretch, there's no chance of postseason. the whole idea that you believe we HAVE a chance just tickles me. But i envy your un-jaded sense of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i envy your un-jaded sense of hope. We have 6 games left against Detroit....even if we go 5-1 in those games, we have a realistic shot. If we could sweep those games, its almost a dead heat. To give up when thats the case....I just don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, it's interesting, even if I think we've fallen too far out to make a serious run at the playoffs, it's still fun to watch your team win a game, or to see hope for the future from guys stepping up or making solid plays. Or Jake Peavy, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now having a really s***ty September means that players important to our future (Beckham, Getz/Nix , Quentin, Rios, Alexei) are playing badly. In 07 we were so chocked full of awful it didn't matter. I didn't care if Andy Gonzalez/Erstad sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you figure that there's no chance at the playoffs? Granted....the odds are against us, but if we 17-7 over the final 24 games and 6 of those wins are against the Tigers, we are in the postseason. Thats not out of the question.

I think Alexei will be fine (although he might be better suited back at 2B), Beckham will be fine, Getz is what he is, Q will be fine is he stays healthy, and Nix isn't all that important IMO.

The Sox haven't shown a run like 17-7 (or close to it) against AL competition this entire season, and there is no way in hell we will sweep Detroit in Detroit. Even if we play well against them, 4-2 is more likely, and that won't do a whole hell of a lot of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
