I know..I realized that when I was plugging in the stats..both Tigers and Indians...could make it interesting...There's still a little voice that says tome once in a while..the White Sox ain't for real..
I thought the same thing about the ChiSox, ken. But watching them split with Boston, and really should have taken three -- I don't know, they are pesky. They are very much in the tradition of the last Chicago pennant winner, the 1959 Go-Go Sox of Nellie Fox and Looey Aparicio, with Early Wynn and Billy Pierce playing the roles of Jon Garland and Mark Buehrle.
AJ Burnett may be dealt from the Marlins to the White Sox.
Oh blah, blah, blah. A team with solid pitching and defense that aloso has multiple ways to score runs is always for real. And their record speaks for itself. I'm sure people said the same thing about the Steelers last season, and look what.....oh, wait - never mind....
Unless they lose one of their three top starting pitchers not only are they for real but a nightmare for the opposition. They play baseball like it used to be played and have the pitching to make it work.
Now I don't expect them to keep winning at the rate they have been but the Division seems to be pretty much a lock.
