MLB Preview

Can we light this guy up tonight? Let's keep this winning streak going!!

[batstats]

The Sox NEED to ride this wave for all its worth. Taking a look at the schedule, looks like in the rest of July and August we have it fairly easy. Nows the time to make a run.

 

In the rest of July and all of August we play:

 

BAL (1 series)

MIN (1 series)

Tampa (2 series)

Det (2 series)

CHIW(2 series)

Tor(2 series)

 

We can do it

Let's take this one game at a time. If we get ahead of ourselves, that's when we get in trouble.

 

Pedro's got something to prove after getting lit up at home VS the Orioles in his last start. Bedard pitched very well against us last time out.

 

The Red Sox need to play with the same intensity as the last 2 days vs the Yankees.

 

If they play like that, they should win.

Keep the thread titles the same as all the other ones in the thread, its been diffrent the past couple nights and I just corrected most of them...

 

Go Sox

[element1151]

Yea, moderaters should lock them faster.

[trot4mvp]

The Minnesota and CWS series will be big for us, as both teams are in contention for the Wild Card/AL Central. I can't see the White Sox staying in it much longer...no Frank Thomas + No Magglio Ordonez = No PLAYOFFS.

 

Minnesota can take the AL Central if they pick up Benson.

 

We'll need to capitalize on both Toronto series...we've beaten up on them earlier this year and will need to continue doing so down the stretch. Detroit won't be a walk in the park, either.

 

All in all, I have to agree with batstats...Sox don't have much of an excuse not to perform well over the next month or so.

The Sox don't have a good excuse for the way they have played since May 1.....But you're right. If they don't dominate guys like Baltimore, Toronto, and Detroit....you have to wonder about this team!

 

Minnesota should be tough (they can win the Central without Benson), but the Red Sox should be able to beat them.

 

BAL (1 series)

MIN (1 series)

Tampa (2 series)

Det (2 series)

CHIW(2 series)

Tor(2 series)

 

I count 30 games here. Of the 30, the Sox should win at least 20. Will they? Only time will tell.

You're right on here...when I made my comment, I meant it more like "There's no question the Twins will win the AL Central." Currently, it is a 3 team race as Cleveland is only 4.5 games behind Minnesota. The race is just getting started in the Central.

 

After witnessing the resilience of this team this weekend, I'm pretty confident moving forward. As long as those bats stay alive, we'll be alright.

I still think the White Sox may have a shot.

I just saw the reruns from last night. He may be a war hero, but John Kerry throws like a girl.

he isn't a war hero either.

[Tek04]

6-0 redsox, seem to be cruising along real fine

[CrespoBlows]

Rivera blew another save 5-5 going into xtra innings

[CrespoBlows]

New York won, but it should of been easier than that. This is drop off of the Yankee rotation now, I see the blue jays getting some wins to help us out. Sox will be 6.5 back by the end of this weekend.

[elsrbueno]

Last night was a good win. Petey gave up 5 runs...but the club backed him with some runs!

 

Good to see.
