BigEdWalsh Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 08:54 PM) I've never understood these threads myself because I'm always in. I thought it was about time for it though. f*** the Tigers. What does always in mean? Always a fan? Of course I'm always a fan. Thinking the Sox can win the Division? I haven't always been thinking that, but I'm thinking it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team could scrape and claw and win the division and then get bounced in the first round...no thanks.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I love the White Sox, just not this version with that suck offense and horrible manager. I would love to eat crow but it ain't happenin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie4Pres Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 This team is an enigma. When playing to their potential, they are capable of beating the best teams in the majors. The Sox have the pitching and the hitting to do so, and there is no reason this team, as assembled, cannot win the World Series. The problem with this team is that they are so wildly inconsistent. The "clutch" factor is also missing most of the time. In 2005, pretty much every player was "clutch". They just don't seem to WANT it enough. Motivation and desire are very strong factors that just seem to be missing more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I think the better question is "do you want this team/manager/gm to win" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChrisSamsa Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) Cardinals, Rockies, Giants. Pretty much this. The White Sox consistently beat the teams who are "better" than them. The playoffs would test that consistency. Teams scrape and claw to get to the post season.. then teams scrape and claw to get to the World Series... then teams scrape and claw to win the World Series. This is how it works.

I still follow each game and hope for a W, but I can't get back "in" yet. Getting over .500 & cutting the lead to 1.5 games could do it though. Just seen this team piss on its leg too many times when they had a chance to make a move. (Especially with 10 games left vs. MIN) I will say that against the 3 other probable AL playoff teams, the Sox are 7-5, so I don't know one can assume they will get swept if they make it.

It's those lapses vs. the bottom feeders that has me worried about their chances to make it to the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harfman77 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Out. White Flag it, blow this thing up, and lets re-tool. The sooner we get guys out on the market the better return we will get and the sooner we will be contending again. The future is pretty bleak for the Sox as it stands - KC will be a force over the next five years, the Indians are starting to figure it out and have more help on the way, the Twins are well stocked (though they may be handcuffed by Morneau), Detroit has a pretty young core with Jackson, Cabrera, Avila, Boesch, and Verlander. The Sox most likely wont be able to sign CQ after next season with all the money that is committed to existing contracts and extenstions, the same with Danks and MB after this year. The rest of the core group is past their prime. I understand going for it because this is likely the final chance this group will have, but if the Sox want to remain competitive long term and not switch positions with KC in the standings for five years it is time to re-tool the system and the team in Chicago.
