Yeah, we are in a bit of a funk. The pitching has been up and down and our offense can't do the little things right that they did all year long last year. Cliff Politte has killed us in the bullpen. He was one of the best relievers last year, and this year he is getting hammered. Thome and Konerko are both in hitting funks. Hopefully we will pull out of it like we did last year.
On the plus side though, Detroit has been stinking it up lately also so we are only 2.5 games back.

Don't worry about Detroit. They have zero staying power. Cleveland will finish ahead of them in the standings

We're on a roll now. Came back from a 9-1 deficet to get it into extra innings tonight. Bottom of the tenth now. They've hit a grand slam in 3 straight games now. Oh, and they've scored 56 runs in 6 games this week. If they pull this game out that will be 10 wins in a row.

Hell yeah... Iguchi put em right back in the game with 2 HR and 7 RBI. Then, they lost in the 13th.

Man you are dreaming. This year we have a good staff and all of our players are hitting well. We are going to win the division outright. Sorry to the Sox and tribe fans but this is our year.

Dream on pal. Detroit will get wild card at best. Do you know who's won 5 out of the 6 Detroit/Sox games this year? I'll give you a hint, it's not the Tigers.

It's either 12 or 13 games left, I'm not sure which. Some division teams play 18 times, some 19 times. I'm not sure which the Tigers and Sox are. There's no way the Tigers will continue to play as well as they have been. They will drop off at some point. I think that they will get the Wild Card though. We will see though. I'm all for the competition. I'd much rather be fighting it out neck to neck with someone that to have a huge lead like we did last year. It will be fun to watch.

how are the twins supposed to catch up? Twins win 8 straight and don't make up any ground on Chitown or Daytwa

Well, we won 9 in a row and only caught up 1 game. It's because the American League has been murdering the National League in interleague play.

Is almost even in the sports dictionary? No, I don't think it is. And while we are listing faults of our teams, let me just mention that the White Sox have never lost 119 games in 1 season.
They didn't almost blow the lead anyways. If they almost blew the lead then it would have come down to the final series of the season, which was by the way White Sox vs. Indians. The White Sox had the division clinched before that series started. Oh, and by the way they won 5 straight to end the season and then went 11-1 in the playoffs. So, 16 and 1 in their last 17 games. Not bad.
Point is, they knew what they were doing. They were resting themselves and preparing for the playoffs.
