A Sweep or A Series Win???

A Sweep or a Series Win???

So its been a while since I have put my thoughts of the Sox on Paper. And a lot has happened this season that leaves a lot of people still with question even after asking all the question they feel they need to ask.
One of which being “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?' How come this team that had so much potential to be running away with the the lead in the division has been spending the best part of the season climbing out of a hole that at one point was 9 games back. Now I will admit the Sox have been doing a lot better then they were the first part of the season. Now only trailing the Indians and Tigers by three and a half games.
I was listing to 670 the Score the other day, and the guys on the show were discussing what is better Sweeping every series or just coming away with the series win? Now as a fan we always want to sweep whatever series it is regardless of weather it the Rays, Twins, Indians, Even The Cubs. But lets be real for just a moment. The Reality of it all is that a sweet every series is pretty far fetched. Right now there are 94 games left in the regular season for the White Sox.
If they were to Sweep the Season that would set there record at 127 and 35 a great record that would seal up the division. But very very unlikely. Now lets say we just take the more realistic approach and say that Sox just win the rest of the series here on out still difficult but more reasonable.
The Sox a little over a month ago were trailing 11 games and couldn't seem to get the ball in play if there lives depended on it. Our bullpen is hit or miss, all in all it just has been a tough season for the Sox.
But with warmer weather the bats seem to be making better contact. Carlos Quieten has has earned the Phrase “Hard Hittin” in front of his name batting a .269 with 16 home runs. Paulie is in typical Konerko fashion batting a .322 and 17 Homers.
Adam Dunn in “finally” hitting the ball like he should. The lefty hit a thee run home run to put the Sox ahead of the A's. Ozzy gave the big guy (Dunn) and Alex Rios a couple of days off and it seems to be paying off.
The big suprises for the sox this year have been Brent Lillibridge who has been used as a utility player and is performing amazing anywhere they put him. A few great dives and a robbed home run from Coco Crisp to save the the win for the struggling John Danks. In the Minors a few names being thrown around are Dayan Viciedo who is batting a .313 with ten home runs. Greg Infante who was moved to the bullpen for Triple A Charlotte with a era of 1.32 and 7 saves.
All in all the Sox are making there typical summer push for the division lead. Lets just hope that this push ends up better then last years. And as always....Go Sox!!!
