The White Sox

[veryzer]

But they've just won their 7th in a row and 11th out of 12. They're 4 1/2 back. Just thought I'd share.

That must be their version of the annual "suck you back in" winning streak.

Well it sucks alright.

[Lance]

Do you really care about baseball this year? Because I know I don't.

[Lance]

I'm actually caring about the World Cup. bummed that I can't watch the game today because of work.

You run the place. Tell your undoubtebly hot secretary to order you a TV to sit in your office for the game.

I've been keeping an eye on them and I don't like it one bit. I'm hoping that this is mostly about beating NL teams, but I'm not so sure. But, yeah, as Lance said, it's hard to care much about baseball these days. And the Sox still aren't better than the Twins, so that's that.

Going into the Cubs/White Sox series, our records were similar. We might have even been a game better than the Sox. We've gone in decidedly opposite directions.

I'm not sure you can chalk their recent success to playing NL teams. The first weekend of interleague play, the NL went 22-20. Yesterday, the NL went 10-5. I don't have time to look up what the entire interleague results are, but I'm sure someone can do it pretty easily. I'm just saying that it doesn't look so out of balance anymore (if you can take anything from this small sample size).

I don't think the Sox will win the AL Central, but it sure is frustrating to see them turn things around while we continue to blow ass.

Going into yesterday, the record was 92-76 AL-NL, according to someone on the Score, so don't quote me on that. I'm not saying that it does or does not mean anything, but I do think the gap is narrowing. Anyway, aside from the Braves last night, the Sox have had a ridiculously weak interleague schedule, but they are 11-2 regardless. This run is impressive, but I'm not totally convinced that they have turned their season around. Even if they do, they still have long-term problems very similar to ours, like an aging core and potential holes at 3B, RF. I like their rotation and pen better than ours, but not by much. Aside from that we have more to look forward to coming out of the minors. This little run they are on may turn out to be counterproductive in delaying the short-term and longer-term changes that need to happen. That said, I'll admit I'd rather be in their shoes at the moment. Longer-term, not so much.

I just ran the numbers, and through last night the record is 97-88 AL-NL.

Yeah. AL is still better. But I'm not sure the gap is as huge as it used to be.
