Greg Hibbard Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 in my opinion tigs have a brutal second half schedule (31 days in a row against over .500 teams, including Sox for seven, Rays for seven, @NYY, @BOS, LAA, TOR and TEX) and seem far more vulnerable, especially on the pitching side. twins by contrast have a relatively soft schedule with not many brutal stretches imagine going up to minny with a 4-5 game lead and the ability to knock them further out of the race...maybe they wouldn't be buyers for Lee.

daggins Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 They're good, and they know they're good. They'll be in the race for Lee, and if they don't get him, they'll get someone. Their starters are really letting them down right now and they have to upgrade. That being said I'd rather be in first going into the ASB but that is contingent on the Sox performance.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I can agree w/ the OP. I'll take a sweep of the Twins, as long as we sweep the Royals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxrwhite Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Kc is six games behind the Twins. You can be sure they are salivating at the chance to get in the hunt. Don't overlook this series. They are 7-3 in their last ten, coming off a road sweep in Seattle. Take care of our own business first, but I have to admit I do love seeing the Twins fall.

spiderman Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Let's just take 2 of 3 (or even sweep KC), and we'll pick up ground on somebody hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. We have no idea who will have a better record in September, DET or MIN. Just win the games you can now, hope they beat up on each other and see how it plays out.

Rooftop Shots Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 QUOTE (since56 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 06:25 AM) Kc is six games behind the Twins. You can be sure they are salivating at the chance to get in the hunt. Don't overlook this series. They are 7-3 in their last ten, coming off a road sweep in Seattle. Take care of our own business first, Agreed! Plus, I believe that Sunday is Hudson against Grienke. That's no picnic by all means. I guess we'll see what this kid is made of. The big thing about KC.............get to that bullpen ASAP! If their starters are on, they can be tough, and some of their hitters have had some success against our pitching. Put those 2 scenarios together and (regardeless of what their record shows) we can have our work cut out for us and a dogfight in some possible low scoring games. I guess we'll see!

chw42 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Win the series against the Royals and worry about this stuff later. Personally, I'd like to see the Twins take 2 of 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 A sweep and the Twins taking 2 of 3 would be cool since the Sox would be in 1st, but you can't worry about other teams. They've climbed back in the race, so all they can do is continue winning and wait for the rest of the league to sort itself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
