With the Chisox losing again today they are 7 back in the central with 6 games left against the white sox. Minnesota still has 9 left with them aswell- the white dox have a tough schedule.

Do we mention that Tejada has only thirty walks all season? Or that Jeter has struck out ninety times?

Nothing wrong with poster's point, that the young man is doing exceedingly well, even in comparison with the two most famous name shortstops in the league.

Its also worth noting that he has been hitting better since being moved into the third spot in the lineup- right when hafner went out for three weeks. He seems to be handling the presure very well.

I grew up in Akron, and have been going to at least 2 games a year since they were still at the mistake. My old man had season tickets through their run in the 90's. As fun as it was to watch Thome, Manny, and Sandy develop, and to watch Omar and Robbie turn double plays better than anyone in the history of the game, this team is the funnest sports team that I have ever closely followed in my life.

It's still 9 games in the loss column. Plus the tribe hasn't been able to beat the Sox all year.

That's not saying much. The Indians started off the season terribly and didn't beat any teams. Their hitting was terrible and they are a totally different team than they were in the beginning of the season. On the other hand, an arguement could be made the the White Sox have declined or gotten worse, too.

I don't know about htat- wickman gives me a goddamn coronary every time he hits the mound. I swear that guy feeds off the terror of indians fans.

Post-allstar break, the Sox swept the Indians in 4 games in Cleveland. The Sox are experiencing their first prolonged slump of the season -- all teams go through it. It doesn't mean they're choking or faltering. That's baseball -- it's a long season. They'll get the bats going again.

Even at the time the White Sox swept the Tribe in July, the Indians were not doing very good. At the end of the W Sox/Indians series, the Indians were 2 games over .500, and now they are 14 games over. IMO, the Indians have greatly improved and the White Sox, especially with the loss of Podsednik the last week or two, have declined.

I'm not saying that the tirbe are going to win for sure, but with the way the white sox are playing right now- losing 1-0 ballgames, not getting their offense going- is exactly how the tribe started out their year. The sox have been on cruise control for most of the season without any pressure- then a few injuries hit, the indians get hot- with a fairly inexperienced manager, its not panic time, but it would be a good time to see them start to turn it around.
