6 versus CLE (10-3) and 7 versus MIN (6-5). Plus 4 at DET (12-3).

I'm not worried about the opponents at all -- I'm worried about the way they've been playing. They're playing like Jerry Manuel is still managing.

I wouldn't put too much into less than 15 games against a single team in terms of splits. CLE, MIN, and DET are all at least decent teams; if you're not beating KC it's likely that you'll have trouble with these three teams. I guess my point is that for as poorly as the White Sox are playing, if they were playing some sorry teams they would still be able to pick up the division title pretty easily. Not necessarily the case with these three teams (particularly MIN & CLE whom the Sox have 13 against).

They're playing awful lately. If they don't turn it around, they're in trouble. If they closer to thier capability, they shoudl have no problem taking enough games from these teams to win the division.
That said, as a lifelong Sox fan, I'm very worried.
