I set the over under of 4 wins against the Twins for the season and I stand by it (I set it during the first game of the last Sox/Twins series. I think this can be a painful weekend if the season long trend of not hitting with runners in scoring position continues. After all we let a 2 journeymen pitchers beat us in the last 4 days.
So, anyone feeling good or optimistic about the White Sox over the next 4 games. I think this could be ugly. In fact, the way the team has played and the way Ozzie talks about the Twins, I think these games have already been lost. While we'll watch Dunn, Rios, and Quentin flail away (you can almost add PK to that list after today), it'll be frustrating to watch quality, consistent players plus a bunch of no namers making the minimum beat us.
The way Ozzie talks, the Sox have already lost the mental game.
Can anyone give me a reason to be an optimistic White Sox fan for the next 4 games against Minny?
It's pathetic that by the end of the series, we can easily be a first place team or a fouth place team.
As far as I'm concerned the next 4 games are what's left of our season. Sweep and I'm feeling good. Get swept or lose 3 of 4 and I see a team that has had 90+ games to show me something good and choked away a golden opportunity to build a big lead in this weak division.
Maybe I'm overreacting. But I see a lack of urgency plus extended slumps by overprice hitters + a manager who speaks so highly of the Twins you have to wonder if he's psyched by them and I don't see much good coming.
