The one good thing about letting everyone back into the race

[Greg Hibbard]

This team has lost 7 of 9 - just like every team does. It's a bad streak over a relatively small portion of the season, after an insane winning streak. I wish some of the same people that screamed "sample size!!!!" about batting stats could hold perspective together when this team goes on either a good or bad stretch. This stretch doesn't mean that the sox are going to lose 90 just like the winning streak didn't mean the sox would win 100. If we continue to play well against the division we will win it. If we don't, we won't. Losing 7 of 9 doesn't mean s***. We have holes, yes. So do most other teams, including competitive ones. By the end of this month we will probably have reeled off 8 of 10 and the naysayers will once again be the converted. Christ, let's all act like we've watched a full season of baseball at some point.

Going into yesterday, I said 13-9 to the break. Now it's 13-8.

 

@LA 1-1

Chi 2-1

Mil 2-1

@Min 2-1

@NY 2-2

Tex 2-1

Tor 2-1

 

That's very doable for a "good" team. So do it.

 

They can't afford to make a bad stretch a longer bad stretch.

I feel like other than the winning streak we've been in a long bad stretch.

It's actually 7 out of 10.

 

When 50-75% of the fans disappear for starts by Humber and Floyd, I wouldn't say that's normal around here.

 

Especially any starts made for a first-place White Sox team.

 

When has that ever happened?
