You might therefore suggest that because Oakland are less shit that's why we are not 5 in front?Captain 97 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 5:15 amKansas City, Minnesota, and Detroit have a combined record of 33-3 against the White Sox. It would sure be nice to have an automatic 12 wins built into your schedule. If the Sox swapped divisions with the A's or Angels, the M's would probably be 5 games up right now.
I wonder if we are behind Detroit and Minnesota because we went 1-5 and 2-5 against them respectively i.e. 3-10 ? I mean everyone knows they both hold the tiebreaker against us, that wasn't handed to them on the toss of a coin. Even if we had just a respectable 6-7 against them that would put us in pole position.
Yes that seems more of a cause and effect than the White Sox being an A ball team.
