Are the White Sox for real?

A lot of the so called experts are saying they are playing way over their heads and really have no real chance to win the Division even with this 20-7 start.
I have had the chance to watch them numerous times so far this season and I have to say I think they are in it for the long haul. They are winning so far with great pitching and very good defense and by being able to manufacture runs in a lot of different ways. They so far are not hitting at all as a team but still have been able to get 20 wins. I think once their bats start to warm up they are going to be a tough beat. The real test for them is how will they play against the AL West and East as almost all their games so far have been within the AL Central.

Blue's correct here,but proably a little closer than 7 games!! White Sox do this every year and fall on their face in the second half. Pitching in which the Twins own in that divison will be hard to overcome.

I think if Orlando Hernandez comes through, the Whitesox will be tough to beat.

They are pretty legit, all they really need to do from here on out is play .500 ball too and they end up with a 89-73 record.

They must be for real. They have just beat the Royals twice in a row.

They obviously are playing over their heads to get to 20-7, but why not say they are the best of the AL? Hard to say the Twins staff is that much better past Santana. Lots of bats that could come alive there and really make this team strong. Besides with the rest of the AL looking fairly weak outside of Baltimore, why couldn't they emerge from the pack?

I predicted before season that White Sox would win division. Looking good too!!:103631605 They have very good pitching and their offense gets it done. They have not dropped as much as thought in the power numbers either. White Sox have better staff than Twins.

The biggest stat that I've seen of them that tells me they are for real, is that they have led at some point in all 27 games played this year..that spells feisty competitor like their Manager.

At some point they are going to need to add a quality arm to the pen. They have the money to do it and need to address it sooner than later IMO as meltdowns are going to occur anytime now with that pen.

Detroit Tigers '84 revisited..race from the gates..cruise..bump it at the close..ramp up and on into playoffs..shift gears..title.

But Stros played the closest series by a sweepee I've ever seen..could've won any of the four games..their anemia resurfaces.

Baseball wiseguys hammered CWS for series.
