With 60 games I put the Over and Under break point at 31 games. I'll take the over.

I'm liking the over too, but not by much. 32 wins, 33 tops.

The White Sox are young enough this 60 game schedule is like playing in a summer league - for the scouts to notice you.

I won't believe over .500 until I see it. However, only one decent winning streak should be all that is needed to get there in such a short schedule. We'll have a good idea a few weeks from now.

Hey - someone has to climb up on the buckboard and get the wagon going.

not very optimistic of you. O.o
Depends on what you mean by being optimistic. 32-33 wins pretty much prorates to the my original preseason prediction of 87 wins when we all thought there would be a 162 game campaign. I stated back then from the getgo that I felt the Sox would not make the playoffs, even when it was assumed to be a full season. As in close, but no cigar. I haven't changed that opinion, but I also feel this is really going to be a year where anything goes. We could end up dead last, we could win the whole enchilada. I honestly have no pulse on this season at all.

Come on Rich - you know you want to say 40. ;)

40 is asking a ton out of this team...

We have 33 games this year vs teams that were over .500 last year (10 each against Minny and Cleveland...and then 13 spread between Cubs/Brewers/Cardinals)

27 games against some really dog teams...which is big for us. (10 each vs KC/DET...then 7 split between Pitt and Cin)

Let's say we go over .500 vs. the better teams listed...17-16.

We'd have to go 23-4 vs. the dog teams in that scenario........as a young team that is going to be streaky.

I'd be surprised...but yeah...Having 20 games vs. Detroit and KC alone is a huge advantage for record...but it's one shared by the Indians and Twins as well.

16 of our first 22 games are vs the winner teams (Minny/Cleveland/Milw/STL). We'll know within the first few weeks where this is going.



Of course, these numbers may be skewed by the Grandal factor...because Milwaukee is probably utter sh*t right now after losing that juggernaut. Their locker room is probably full of piss and vinegar. Probably have a new manager by midseason with the fallout.

Cincy is good. So, definitely not including them. Pretty even split, though. I think our schedule is pretty damn average. I don't know how good Cleveland or the Cubs are right now relative to past years.

Cincy has the best starting rotation in the NL Central and their 1-9 lineup has improved during the offseason. A number of predictions out there have them taking their division. So I agree, I definitely wouldn't label them whatsoever with the Royals, Tigers, and Pirates.

I never bet against the Cardinals. But if Cincy is good thats not helping a case for anywhere near 40 wins

Thaaaaaank yoooouuuuu. You know many damn posts i had to read before i figured out which sox? The white sox are the biggest wild card in the division. I could see them winning anywhere between 15-40. Seriously. Cleveland will be around .500. Detroit will suck hard. You guys could contend for the division or chill with the tigers.

We will not be as bad as the Tigers. I am one of the bigger skeptics on this board but if we’re that bad I would be shocked.
