NorthSideSox72 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Detroit may have a cake walk the last couple weeks, but the Sox schedule in August/September, for the most part, is very favorable as well. They play Minny and KC a bunch, and CLE as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If someone said back in March, that this team would be in 1st and 2.5 games ahead of DET, and in a good WC position, on August 1st... what kind of responses would they have gotten?

Get off of the crack!!! not without ozzie. hahahahahahhaha Hey, I've never been a total doubter like those on here who clamor for a total rebuild all the time, conveniently ignoring the fact our fans won't support losing. I've never discounted the possibility of players improving this season; true I didn't think Dunn or Rios had it in them. I hope the Sox complete the deal and win the division because so many guys are having excellent seasons. It'd be a shame to waste all these incredible individual performances.

cabiness42 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The Angels are probably the second most important team for the Sox to beat after Detroit, because if Detroit goes on some kind of sick run in August-September, the Angels will be the team the Sox are battling for a WC spot.

THIS IS REAL! Alright that wasnt in march but I wouldnt have been surprised. I knew Dunn and Rios wouldnt be historically bad again and were due for a big turnaround and thought that was the key to them being a contender...and luckily I was right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 The win pushes the Sox to a season high 12 games over .500 at 64-52. 46 more games to go. Sit back, relax, and strap it down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The sox went to thier "house of horrors". The Tigers played the Twins. 3 games played, 3 days off the schedule, no movement in the standings ... Advantage White Sox. Let's hope they can put another 1/2 game between themselves and Detroit tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then this weekend, the Sox play KC with their 3 top pitchers going, and with PK14 back in the lineup... while DET plays a pretty hot Baltimore team. Very nice opportunity here for the Sox to put a little more distance between them and DET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice opportunity here for the Sox to put a little more distance between them and DET. Anything can happen, but the pitching matchups are definitely in DET's favor this weekend too. Hunter vs Verlander TBA vs Porcello Chen vs. Cy Fister (Chen has been their pitcher this year though, 3.70 ERA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
