It's definitely a must win now. As long as the Tigers win two games the rest of the season, the Sox will have to win out. Seems possible. If the Tigers win just one game, the Sox only have to go 14-1 to take this thing. That's merely a .933 winning percentage, which I think we can pull off since he have yet to hit our real hot streak this season. Take a look at the Tigers' remaining schedule. It's no cakewalk and they're sure to fall apart as they're so prone to do (that one time in 2006). Our destiny is in our own hands. I think as long as we show nothing but support and really get the positive mojo flowing, there's just about nothing that can stop us.

I'll take that collapse. No, I know. But they choked away the division lead that season, which showed that they have a clear history of doing that. It's just as evident as when the Sox did it in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2010, and almost in 2005 and 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, apparently the book is out that Beckham can't hit a fastball and Verlander just went to an extreme with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Leyland keeps out-managing Guillen. Today, Guillen helped him. Pierre gets a hit. He rarely gets extra base hits, this is well-known. Ozzie has Ramirez batting second. Ramirez honestly, is no good at bunts and has maybe 6 in the year. If Ramirez succeeds in not popping out into a double play, Pierre goes to 2nd. Paulie's next with first base open. Congrats! You just took the bat out of the hands of your best hitter! Then Rios or A.J. bat cleanup (12 hrs between them) and ground into a DP. Killing a rally. Is it so hard to bat Viciedo or Quentin 3rd and Paulie 4th to avoid intentional walks? Is it so hard to allow Pierre to actually steal 2nd and not give up an out right away? Perhaps use the #2 guy to bunt Pierre to 3rd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I was just looking at the leader board for random stats in all of MLB, then I made the mistake of looking at the leader board for just the White Sox. It's depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
