AL Central Watch

I wonder if the Sox are going to make a move to match the Tigers?

I wonder if the Sox are going to make a move to match the Tigers?

They did get Youkifuck and a RP already.

 

[grandy]

They did get Youkifuck and a RP already.

Well it's clearly helped them thus far.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Well it's clearly helped them thus far.

Yeah well, lol.

3-run homer Korneko. 3-1 1st. Those guys are annoying as hell. How can you be a White Sux fan?

 

[jas5lf]

Going to watch the White Sux tonight on MLB.tv. Not sure I can stand their announcers though. I guess I could switch to Minny until the Sux are behind.

lol...half the fun is listening to Hawk cry like a little bitch.

lol...half the fun is listening to Hawk cry like a little bitch.

But when they're winning its annoying as hell.

Still waiting on Minnesota-Chicago, doesn't look promising though....looks like 1st will be a tie after tonight.

Updated

The White Sox are 3-0 since getting swept, thanks Minnesota.

Detroit wins to stay tied for 1st.

 

[grandy]

Updated finally

Would be nice if Texas got their act together when playing the White Sox.

 

[jas5lf]

I'm getting really tired of the White Sux.

Updated

Didn't even realize but Minnesota has pulled ahead of KC in the standings

Minnesota sweeps Cleveland over the weekend
KC gets swept by the Mariners in 4 games

KC has fallen off as of late...6-19 in the month of July, 4-12 since the ASB

Going to get the August schedules up soon as well as a playoff thread this year (like I did last year)
