clujer420 Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I was checkin' out some statistics and such on ESPN's website, and here is how we have fared against the other teams so far in '03. We have records against... Anaheim (4-3), Baltimore (4-2), Detroit (9-7), Kansas City (7-5), Minnesota (7-5), Toronto (6-3), Chicago Cubs (4-2), San Diego (2-1), and Los Angeles (2-1) We have records against... Oakland (4-5), Seattle (2-7), Texas (3-4), Arizona (1-2), and San Francisco (1-2) And finally, we have records against... Boston (2-2), Cleveland (8-8), and Tampa Bay (3-3) ------------------------ So with the exception of Seattle, we're pretty close to .500 against every team, with more winning records than losing records. If the Sox can hold this trend for the rest of the regular season, we should win the Central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I don't know, simply because the Twins play some pretty easy teams down the strecth. If you ask me the Sox just need to play good baseball at the level they are capable of. If they do that, no team in the central will stop them. The problem is they've yet to show they can do that on a consistent basis. Hopefully they will show that they can plya good baseball at home and on the road, against good teams and bad.

Jas, I seem to agree with many of your thoughts and opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas, I seem to agree with many of your thoughts and opinions. So do you agree with me that hands down, if this team lives up to its potential then it should be competing for the World Series? I sure believe that they got all the talent they need. The question is whether that talent shows up on a consistent basis. Kenny has done a hell of a job putting this years club together.

I think KW has done a wonderful job. I think the sox have as good of talent as anyone in baseball. For the first time since 1983, i think they have the talent to win the whole thing. Will they? I dunno because I question their mental strength and intelligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RibbieRubarb Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I am beginning to think we blew the season in July when we dropped the games with TB, CLE, and getting swept by DET. That was where we could have made our hay... Just win baby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Boy they don't like playing on the West Coast do they. Maybe they have a fear of flying so far over there or sumthin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Looking ahead I like our 3 man rotation of E-Lo, Mark, and Bart. I believe we could get on a roll and be there in the end. Every team has at least one weak area. Ours is the bullpen for certain and possibly too much power and not enough average. I haven't checked but I'd be surprised if we didn't lead the Majors in solo homeruns. Another way to say it, and just to use this smiley is we have too many drummers and no bass players.
