This set-up's computer bank and staff of gelatinous-headed stats freaks projected 91 wins for the Pale Hose this year, based upon their September schedule. That is until Kansas City took 2 out of 3 this weekend by beating the Sox on Sunday behind the guile of crafty lefty Mark Redman. Just like Paul Byrd, Jamie Moyer, Brad Radke and others, Redman had the Sox chasing junk out of the zone on Sunday. The ChiSox just can't seem to adjust to pitchers that serve up a good change of pace. The team doesn't have 200 homers this year by shortening up their swings and protecting the plate, that much is sure.
Current projection is 90 wins and October on the golf course. If Las Medias Blancas can take two from the hobbled Red Sox this week, they go back up to 91 wins. Why do I doubt this team again this fall? Decades of Learned Helplessness ingrained by this bunch, I suppose. *sigh*
