| Yes, but I'm just taking the odds and running with them. I find it hard to beleive that the White Sox are going to do any worse than .500 the rest of the way...If they do that, that would give them over 90 wins. For the Yanks to get 90 wins they would have to go about 20 games over .500 the rest of the way, which while very possible, I haven't seen many signs of a huge run like that.
Then I take into account the fact that the Twins always play around 90 wins and should still be able to pound on the likes of the Tigers, Royals, and Indians. Of course, I could be wrong, but it's just a big hunch that I have. A situation where one of the Eastern Power Houses get left out.
Back to the White Sox for a sec, You have to love the production you've gotten out of Buerle, Garland, etc. I would be a bit worried about Frank but if he gets back to being even "half way decent Frank", that could mean 30 homers with a poor average, which I'd take at this point, and it'd be nice for Konerko to keep his average over .250 to go along with the power numbers. |
