LA may have a higher daily average temperature than Chicago in July and August, but their drier air means the temperature drops more quickly when the sun sets. However, while on average there is greater temperature fluctuation on each individual day in LA than in Chicago, there is much less seasonal variability between April, July and September in LA than there is in Chicago.

In Sunday's Sun-Times an A.L. scout had an interesting comment on what happened to the Sox this year in September:

It's just one of those things. If there is a reason its we just we have not had the players. How many Cy Young pitchers have we had? Any Triple Crown threats? Any Hall of Famers? Maybe PK. ( Thomas is going to the HOF but was not around for most of the years in question) How many 5 tools players in that time, Rios and who else?
If we had the same players all the time that Lip has mentioned then I say we have a bunch of losers, thats not the case, just a bunch of players that were decent but not just good enough. It comes down to JR running a big market team like a small market team.

Been my contention for years. Always hear about going out to get top level talent, but end up with meets requirements. Sure, maybe 1 or 2 Marquee players to spin the turnstyles to buy churros and dogs, but no big dogs that bring home silverware. BK59

What false supposition? The Sox choke a lot at the end of the season. That's a fact. You must be watching the season in reverse or something. I would bet they have been in first or near it in most years since 08 and still have not once made the playoffs. The Sox need you badly in the PR department , i suggest you send your posts with your resume.

No, it is fact. The Sox suck when it counts. Anyone with 2 eyes can see that, don't even need statistics.

If the Sox had just won every game they ever played, they would have over one hundred World Series titles. What went wrong? What. went. wrong.

I'll tell you what happened this year. The Sox two best pitchers never pitched more than 80 innings in a season before, while the two best hitters are getting old, banged up and all four of them ran out of gas for the last four to six weeks of the season.

Vulture:
The Sox apparently "ran out of gas" in 2003, 2006, 2010 and now 2012. The individual circumstances may be different from season to season but the end result is the same. Perhaps the Sox would do well to try to find some common threads in those four seasons and then try to repair them or eliminate them. I still say JB has it pretty much spot-on, the rosters are top heavy, there is no depth, guys get hurt, go into slumps and the drop off to replacement players is very dramatic. Compare that for example to what the Yankees pulled off tonight with their bench. Fans were pleading with Kenny to upgrade the bench back in August saying it was going to haunt the club. It did. Better guys were available...the million dollar question is why Kenny did nothing and up to that point he had a hell of a season getting the help needed. Lip |
