Fearless 4th Quarter Prediction

by Tdogg on Aug 12, 2009 12:07 PM CDT Comment 23 comments

I figured since I am officially the symbol of hope (figuratively and literally) , I would throw out my expectations for the remaining rat race in regards to the pale hose and Motown. It might be fun for others to join in. Even the pessimists are welcome. Note my predictions do not reflect the views or opinions of the editors of SSS….

The standings are as follows:

Detroit – 59-53

Ch Sox - 58-56 2 games back

Minn - 54-58 5 games back note….(Won the WS in 2010, 2011 & 2012)

Final Standings

Chi Sox 86-76 –

Detroit 85-77 1 game back

I did not try to work the numbers out to finish that way. I could just as easily see a 4-5 stretch for Detroit during that Min to Chi road trip instead of 3-6. I can also see it a few games the other way. Perhaps, another black out game maybe?

This team does frustrate the hell out of me (performance wise), but I like our chances and I’m pumped for the coming years….

Nice work Tdogg

Its going to be tough for the white sox to go 7-2 in september. It also looks like you have us losing the series again in the Terrordome. I don’t feel like we will be swept this time and I actually have a good feeling about taking 2 of 3 in the dome for once. A lot is riding on the defense to step it up these next two months of the season and finish strong.

I expect the team

to fire on all cylinders in Sept. It should be their best month record wise. That 9 game home stand should have full stadiums and rested players ready to go.

You say the hill's too steep to climb

Climb it.
You say you’d like to see me try
Climbing.

You pick the place and I’ll choose the time
And I’ll climb
That hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you’ve said today.

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling.
Merciless the magistrate turns ’round
Frowning.

And who’s the fool who wears the crown?
No Doubt,
in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.

When life gives you lemons, just say "Fuck the lemons," and bail.

Very Bold

29 wins from the remaining 48 games

that’s barely above a 0.600 clip, which isn’t unrealistic, it’s not like we’re the royals. but somebody needs to flip the switch on this team. thanks for the post tdogg.

When have we played .600 this year for any 48 game stretch?

Still need to see how the new guys integrate. I’m not convinced.

Tigers year

though whoever wins this division will get crushed in playoffs

If you dont like me please ignore me and my posts

The Pirates,Reds,Royals, and Padres are not major league teams

by angryandy on Aug 17, 2009 2:32 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs

I doubt that.

Both the Tigers and Sox would have playoff rotations that would give everybody pause. Not saying they would win but this notion of crushed from even a regular playoff %s is wrong anyway.
