Yes!! The title of this Thread pretty much sums up my thoughts!!!
I was watching the game today against the Giants and while watching it, I quickly realized that there is a BOAT LOAD of AWESOME Talent on this team!!!
I knew, obviously, that Kenny had made some pretty major moves this Offseason to make the team better. However, it wasn't until I really sat myself down and watched the newly assembled team. I have been watching the Spring Trainning games that have been on, but I was just sort of "Halfway" watching them. You know what I mean? Pretty much, I had the game on, but I was doing other stuff while it was on so I really was not paying much attention.
However, today I actually sat there, and watched the game with VERY close eyes.
The first thing that really caught my attention was just how solid our Offensive, 1-9 Lineup really is!! I obviously don't know exactly what kind of lineup Ozzie is going to go with on Opening Day, but today's lineup was AWESOME!!!
Seeing Swisher lead off, followed by Cabrerra, Thome, Konerko. I was like, "there is a POWERHOUSE right there!!!" And of course, that does not include Jermaine Dye, AJ, hopefully Crede, and the others!!
Then I thought about our Starting Pitching and it occurred to me that we are pretty damn SOLID there as well!! And then I thought about the Bullpen, the main source of our Pain and Suffering last year, and thinking about the Pen actually made me HAPPY!!!
About a month or so into last season, it was pretty obvious that our Bullpen was a complete mess and probably really wouldn't get much better. Playing in that Division certainly does not help. However, RIGHT NOW, as it stands on March 8th, 2008, I am INCREDIBLY EXCITED about just how good our Bullpen could be!!! Granted, it's a Crapshoot and I know that I should not be overly confident because anything could happen, but I really have a VERY GOOD FEELING about our Pen this year!!
From the way everything looks right now, it really looks like we have a VERY SOLID team that is going to compete and compete HARD!! We have got some REAL TALENTS on this team this year and I am honestly SOOOOOOOO EXCITED about Opening Day!!!
I know that most people think that we will be battling for the Cellar Spot with Kansas City, but there is NO WAY that that is going to happen. Barring a few MAJOR injuries to key guys and what not (KNOCK ON WOOD).
THe 2008 White Sox are a VERY SOLID team with so much potential and talent!!
I know that Pre-Season predictions are kind of silly, but I REALLY like this team this year!!!
Of course it will be settled on the field, and I am VERY CONFIDENT that this team has EVERYTHING it needs to compete for the Division Title!!! LET'S GET IT ON!!!!!:D::gulp::bandance:
