Boston Red Sox 8-2 in last ten games, ChiSox are only 7-3.

When I think of hot, I dont think of who has the current longest winning streak. Thats too easy. We have seen plenty of teams jump out to 6 game winning streaks only to fade to black. Talking to you Dodgers.

The no offense drama surrounding the White Sox was fully warranted: with this latest "explosion" their team batting average sits only at a paltry .258. The Boston Red Sox conversely are at .282.

I would hope when playing a mediocre team like the Twinkies you would beat them. Thats no great feat. The Twins arent even a .500 team.

This last ten game stretch has included the Sox beating up the Rays to overtake them in the division and tie the Cubs for the most wins at 40.
Beating the Rays is actually noteworthy considering Rays are still 11 games over .500.

If you had wanted to box me into using stats from the last six games then that should have been in the TD title: hottest team in the last 6 games. However, the Red Sox are the HOTTER team for the SEASON with 334 runs(36 more than ChiSox), 636 hits(81 more than ChiSox), 1001 total bases(86 more than WS). Pitching? RS have more shutouts, saves, and Ks.

The Cubs r not hotter than the Red Sox even if we r talking just the last 10 games. Cubs 7-3, Red Sox 8-2. So how are the Cubs hotter for the season when they & the Red Sox both have 40 wins? I dont get its "easily" the Cubs. Red Sox fans would strongly disagree with u there.

The hotter streak over the last 10 games or the last 60+ games between the Red Sox & White Sox is the Red Sox, so I am right either way.

Twins r mediocre. They have played 63 games 2 showcase what type of team they have & have lost more games than they have won. Thats not impressive as much as its depressive.

4 comparison sake lets look @ the 2 teams beneath each of these division leaders:

The Rays have hit 22 more HR than the Twins. Rays have more total bases, walks, stolen bases, a higher on base and slugger percentage than the Twins. Pitching? The Rays ERA is .72 lower than the Twins. Rays have more Ks, allowed fewer HR, 46 fewer earned runs, given up 133 fewer hits, & have the Twins 7-3 in shutouts.

If the Rays played in the Central they would be ahead of the White Sox right now! So, beating up on the Rays lately is MORE impressive than Twins.

If Joe Crede is ur posterboy=thats not good.

Why why have the White Sox sucked for most of the year until recently? Their manager Ozzie Guillen has gone on more tirades this season than Bobby Knight did in his career. They couldnt hit, field, or get anything together and were so embarassed after getting stomped by the Rays a week ago that Ozzie was calling for wholesale changes from the GM on down including himself. This is a team on fire? Well enjoy your 6 game winning streak cuz the Sox are who we thought they were: a roller coaster of a team at best and beneficiary of playing in the weakest division in the American League.

If you think this spurt of offense means anything more than just an isolated penny rattling in a bottle for the Sox that means you have a blindspot the size of the whole first half of the year when it looked like the Chisox were stepping to the plate with wiffle bats.

I know you are a Sox fan but come on, lets keep it real. This is the best the Sox are going to play ALL YEAR and its only a little six gamer in June. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

The Red Sox are hotter than ChiSox in last 10 games or last 60 games or whatever games you want to pick out in between. 8-2 is GREATER than 7-3 over the last 10 games.
